Today, my AC stopped working. It's currently 3:08AM and I have 2 fans running, a cold washcloth on my neck, and a window open. It's still hot as hell. Thanks, Florida. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, as I have my entire life, I live in the south. However, our AC decided to break and now it's 91 degrees inside the house, even with fans on and the windows open. FML
Today, my AC stopped working and I have no money. I live in Phoenix, Arizona. FML
Today, I left the windows open because I live in Florida without air conditioning because the asshole landlord won't fix it. There was nice cool air from the rain. I've killed about 100 flying ants that have made their way inside. Now I have a hot house with closed windows and flying ants. FML
Today, in the middle of this heatwave, my mom has a fan in her bedroom and her precious dog has two fans pointing at her dog bed, which she apparently needs because she could overheat, poor thing. Meanwhile, I have zero fans in my room and can't sleep from the heat, but I get told to just deal with it. FML
Today, our AC broke. It's 98 degrees inside the house. My parents will be staying at a 5 star resort until the repairman can come to fix the unit in 6 days. They made me stay home to make sure the plants survive. FML
Today, the company I work for decided to "go green" and stopped using the air conditioner to cool down the office. It is currently 81 degrees at my desk. FML
Today, we had our first rainstorm in weeks. Thirty seconds before it started, my window broke in the "down" position from overuse, since last week the air conditioning in my car gave out. Now I have a hot, wet car. FML
Today, I'm sitting in a disgustingly hot office with all the windows thrown open. There is no fan, and the owner won't let us use the air conditioner. The smell of mold permeates the room from the ceiling, giving me headaches by the end of the day. The owner refuses to get someone in to clean it. I can't quit. FML
Today, for the first time in at least two years, the temperature exceeded 100 degrees in my area. Except this time, it nearly hit 110. Even with my fan and air conditioner on the highest setting, my room was still burning hot. It's currently 11pm and the temperature has gone down… to 81 degrees. FML
Today, I checked my local weather forecast. The highs are supposed to be 85-94°F (29-35°C) for 9 of the next 10 days. It's been 95-102°F (35-39°C) for the past week. I have no air conditioning. I'm so tired of this heat! Fuck climate change! FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Damn. That'll be that thing. What's it called, again? World heating? Earth boiling? You know, that thing Trump denies is real.

While not denying the global warming, the climate in Flodida was always hot and humid, althogh the OP is clearly exagerating in his or her whining.

So you don't think that it might be getting worse? It's a bit odd to accept climate change, and then claim that people are exaggerating when they feel too hot/cold as a result.

I’d rather have that than snow. How are the mosquitoes?

Way back in 1990, my family moved from New York to Florida. That first night, our AC was broken. I, a wise 8 year old, declared unto the night at the top of my lungs, “WHY DID WE MOVE TO HELL?!”

Arizona here and we went through that in June/July of this year. Ugh!.... Wet sheets. In fact, wet them and keep them in the freezer when you're gone. When you get home, they'll be ice cold and you'll start off cool and adjust to the temperature as they thaw. Also, I loved my "tent." I put two fans at each end of the bed and draped a wet sheet over them. The fans kept the sheets up off me, the air kept flowing, and the moisture kept me cool. Keep a spray bottle of water in the tent with you. Water bottles should be kept in the freezer at all times. Keep a frozen one under your pillow.

Sorry, but you just can't handle the heat.

My AC conked out in the middle of a Las Vegas summer so I understand the misery completely. I found soaking a teeshirt in icy water helped, also keeping another shirt in icy water to change into in the middle of the night helps. Bonus-Sexy wet teeshirt winner every time.
