Today, I arrived at the beach for a week's vacation. I walk on the beach only to find they are "rebuilding" it. They have heavy machinery all over the place, they work 24/7, and this only happens every 15 years. Glad I picked this week. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was looking forward to languishing on the beach for a few days of a “much needed vacation” when I literally got called back into work on my way to the beach. FML
Today, it's only day three of my annual vacation. Rest and relaxation? Afraid not! For the past days, I've been haunted by the constant thought of how much work will be piled up when I get back. FML
Today, the first day of my 4-day weekend, I fell off my scooter. I'll have to spend the rest of my vacation bandaged and away from water. I'm on a beach. FML
Today, my job announced we will be working mandatory 7 days a week for the next 6 weeks, maybe longer. There goes my summer. FML
Today, I came home from work to find construction workers repaving my street. I work the graveyard shift. FML
Today, it was supposed to be payday. Instead, it was the day I found out that, for two weeks, I have been volunteering for Habitat for Humanity, and am not actually employed by a construction company. FML
Today, as I was leaving for a 2-week vacation after working my ass off for 2 years, my area manager handed me a project. It's a 3-week job, and he told me he needs it when I get back. FML
Today, after 3 months of quarantine being totally broke, I was finally glad to get back to work. I found out that they no longer need me because "there's no money" to pay me. As I was leaving, I saw freshly renovated rooms, a huge new plasma, and a crowd of workers busy expanding the summer terrace. FML
Today, I was trying to relax on the beach after a stressful day, just to overhear a bunch of kids near me start fighting over who pooped in the hole they'd dug in the sand. FML
Today, after being jobless for 2 years, I got a call back for an interview. I was ecstatic until I saw the date. It's the same day I leave for a weeklong, nonrefundable vacation. I applied for the job 6 weeks ago, and since not hearing anything bought the vacation 2 weeks ago. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

The hard hat that you'll have to wear while tanning will really serve well for picking up members of the opposite sex.

I agree. I live 10 minutes from the shore n when I go to the beach I never know/ care to find out if there's construction being done on it. Just move down the beach or drive to another one. FYL OP

My family almost went to Nags Head, NC this summer but they are rebuilding it by taking sand from offshore & building up the beach front... We went to Myrtle Beach, SC instead

Look it up you twat. It's essentially he is in love with cartoons. Ie. Sonic the hedgehog
Link5794 18
That's not even close. It's a fetish for dressing up like animals in general, andhas nothing to do with cartoons. Also, Sonic the Hedgehog is a video game character. The cartoons and anime came after his success in video games. Also, there's no reason to insult him, despite the ambiguity of whether or not the word "twat" is actually insulting.

Few actually help me thanks Link. And as for the dressing up as animals, Not all of us do that. I do not.

Whenever I go on vacation, the last thing that I would even think of checking on is if they were rebuilding the beach.

Dig an immense hole under the sand and into the water. Although it will take your entire vacation, you'll still feel accomplished when you've tricked those construction guards.

How do you "rebuild" a beach? I feel dumb
dre_bro11 12
Beach nourishment, natural management schemes, heaps of ways. The first one involves getting sand and putting it back in the beach as over time it can wash away, otherwise they might be cleaning it, maintaining it, checking any structures etc.

Beach sand always gets pushed downcurrent. If there is no beach far upcurrent, then there's no incomming sand to replace the ones lost.

I was wondering the same thing...

11, 26 what are you guys fcuking beach experts haha

I thought they meant like sidewalks, railing, cleaning, etc. They want tourists to think it's a good place and not trash-talk it.

Come back next week
Squirrelx 5
OP implies that it is a one week vacation. They more than likely can't come back the next week.

go to a differen beach?
Bobby64 29
Or at least ask for a discount from the hotel you're staying at? The hotel should understand you're there for the beach, so you might at least get some cash back.
