Today, I have to choose between getting a cellphone contract that I need, or a TV that I don't even want, but which my flatmates insist I contribute towards. The same flatmates who eat all my food. This increased grocery bill has left me unable to afford either the phone or TV. FML

Autumn: Leaves and Laughter
When the leaves fall, the laughter rises. Discover autumn stories as crisp as dried leaves!
Today, I had to spend all of my money on textbooks even though my refrigerator is empty. Starving and frustrated, I called home to ask for money for groceries. My mom told me I could afford to skip a few meals. FML
Today, I had to decide between buying medicine and buying food. FML
Today, I had to sell my phone to pay for the phone bill. FML
Today, I told my roommates they have to go get jobs, because I can't afford to support them or their bad habits any more. They responded by pawning all my DVDs for cash to buy cigarettes. FML
Today, I learned that as much as I try to save my money, it always just slips through my fingers. After rent, I got paid $280 yesterday, $85 went out on my gym membership, $95 went out on my internet, $125 went out on my Hello Fresh. I have to choose between half a tank of petrol or breakfast/lunch for the week. FML
Today, I called my mobile phone provider to end my contract. A sales rep spent over half an hour trying to convince me to reconsider, and I kept refusing. I ended up breaking down and accepting a "more economical" contract, which I didn't notice costs almost twice as much as the last one. FML
Today, I live in a world where I work 50 hours a week, and yet after paying all necessary bills, eating one meal a day, and only drinking water from the tap, I am £130 pounds poorer than last week, all because I had to use my credit card and increase my debt to buy petrol and pay the gas bill. FML
Today, my roommate and I were watching TV, and he ordered a pizza. After it was delivered, I took a slice. He yelled at me for taking his food and told me to stop mooching off him. I had to cover his rent last month and he still hasn't paid me back. FML
Today, my fiancé and I had a fight over household expenses. He's never had a job in his life, but this didn't stop him demanding that I get another full-time job to pay for video games and beer. FML
Today, I told my parents that all I wanted for my 18th birthday was to go to a restaurant in NYC for a nice dinner. My parents said no, because it would cost too much money. I came home to see my parents had bought a huge TV for $800. We already have 3 televisions. FML

Tell them you already contributed to the TV by covering their grocery bill in the past. If they refuse, don't buy groceries anymore, and find a way to feed just yourself. In the end, if they want a flat screen, that's their prerogative. They can just keep it when they move or you move out. It's not like you're going to split the tv how ever many ways when you all go your separate ways, so it makes no sense to split the cost. Don't give in!

YDI for not having the balls to tell them to pitch in some money or get their asses out.

Tell 'em to kiss your ass; take your groceries & leave.

Just beat their a$$es, and take their money, and buy both. If not strong enough buy what you need and fu€k their tv!

Yeah, you're right. One person should buy the TV (or find one somewhere, like getting one from a friend or family member). Then when they move out, they'll take the TV with them. Then everyone that watches TV can just split the cable bill.

If all you did was judge roommates by their looks, you probably wouldn't have very good roommates

44- If they give up then we wouldn't be able to laugh and joke about their dumb comments and that would be no fun.

44- some people just don't have hope on FML. And commenting isn't exactly a skill that comes naturally to people. Especially the ones under the age of 15.

stephissilly * you're* your english skills need some work.
GoW_Chick 14
Uh no... Maybe you should go back to English class and get a refresher course might be beneficial for you.

Waswashere used the correct 'your'. Stay in high school stephissilly.
stephissilly 18

you guys are pathetic for bombarding a fellow user with comments that do no good fpr anyone. Bragging about how he/she misspelled a word or how lame he/she's commenting is stupid and immature. who cares if everything you comment isnt a stroke of genius.

Roommates stink! Move out if you can, otherwise sit down with them and just tell them how it is.

Who gets the tv in the end? Make that person pay for all of it!

But seriously, they "insist" he contribute to? Grow some balls, OP.... pay your phone bill, and tell them to buy their own goddammed food and throw their TV out a window.

Simple solution: Buy food you like that they dislike, that causes them to buy their own food. Once their food is in the fridge, eat it. :)

That would be good advice, except he can't afford it.

Since they're so selfish then do what you want and get a cell phone

Make some of those nasty krabby patties that Spongebob made for the food inspector and leave them in the fridge
