Today, I was looking forward to my only day to sleep-in this month while I'm balancing school and work. I was rudely awakened at 6 am by my sister and her friend trying to make pancakes, burning them, and setting off the fire alarm in my house for half an hour. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, after I worked 15 hours yesterday, coming home at 1 a.m. thinking I could sleep in because my kids have no school, I was woken up at 7 a.m. because they wanted pancakes. FML
Today, it's my birthday. My children decided to make me "breakfast in bed", only to end up setting the kitchen on fire. FML
Today, my brother woke me up by trying to light my bed on fire. FML
Today, I decided to make pancakes from scratch. I poured the batter in my Perfect Pancake pan. Then I told my brother who was watching, "This is so easy. Just watch." I burned 15 pancakes, including the one I dropped on the burner, which lit on fire, causing the alarm to go off. FML
Today, my friends thought it'd be funny to hold lighters under the smoke alarms while I was sleeping. FML
Today, I was sleeping in my apartment when I woke up to the smell of smoke. Alarmed, I ran out to the kitchen to find my roommates trying to put out a fire on the stove. As soon as they saw me, they ran for it, informing me that it was my problem now. They used my good frying pan. FML
Today, I awoke at 5am to the smell of smoke and the sound of sirens. It seems the whole Santa Monica Fire Department had made it outside our apartment complex. We had to wake up every single person on our floor. What for? An old lady burned a muffin. FML
Today, I woke up to the fire department at my house. Why? My brother called 911 thinking there was a fire after turning the heat on for the first time all winter. FML
Today, while trying to sleep after a night shift, workers came to hook up city sewage service, firing up drills and shouting. An hour later, my child woke me up to tattle on her sister. Just as I was drifting to sleep yet again, the smoke alarm battery started chirping. I give up. FML
Today, I found out my little sister is a pyromaniac. She set my bed on fire. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I don't know about OP, but I don't have a problem going back to sleep if I'm still tired...

Not really. I mean stupid do you have to be to burn pancakes. They are damn near the easiest thing to make.

OHH the irony, "stupid do you have to be" xD

if house isn't burnt to the ground then you have another chance to sleep in next time.

some people can't fall asleep after awakened, especially when contending with loud noise and the smell of burning.

next time. as in the next time OP has a chance to sleep in.

misread... I apologize

Still, the whole point is that the OP doesn't know the next time they'll be able to sleep in, so it doesn't seem relevant to me.

Kick them out and enjoy your sleep in peace :)

FYL, but at least it was an accident. Who knows? Maybe, they were even making the pancaked for you. I do feel sorry for you, but it doesn't seem like they were trying to wake you up.

But why were they up so early? Most kids are on summer break, though I do know some are in school. But at 6 AM they only have like a half hour to get ready for school.
