Today, a council worker showed up on my doorstep for the final pool installation inspection, which was scheduled 10 years ago. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I finished a fence around my house that I have been working on all week. About an hour after I finished, a water company truck pulled into my driveway. They told me they would have to take down my fence to make repairs on a water pipe. FML
Today, after my landlord emailed to say someone would be inspecting the apartment at 10 AM, I cleaned everything and waited at home all morning. At noon, I called to ask where they were. The inspection was scheduled for next Tuesday. I'd read the date wrong. FML
Today, the maintenance workers finally came to my apartment to fix the shower-head that kept falling off the wall. I was annoyed because they had replaced it a few weeks ago and since then, it'd been a problem. They went into my bathroom, turned the shower head around, and left. FML
Today, after house sitting for my neighbor, I realized that he has a camera pointed at my pool. FML
Today, I woke up to a repairman at my door who was simply supposed to turn my water back on in my apartment. Two hours and 5 repairmen later, all I have now is a large hole in my ceiling. Still no water. FML
Today, a kid I taught to swim became my new boss, at the pool that I have worked at for nine years. FML
Today, after my landlord announced a "surprise" apartment inspection, I spent the entire night cleaning every room, scrubbing the oven, and organizing closets. The inspector walked in, looked around for 20 seconds, checked for a smoke detector, then left. FML
Today, on my second day as a lifeguard, I locked myself out of the pool. My angry guests and I had to wait for 45 minutes for my manager to arrive and unlock the gate. FML
Today, I came home from work to find construction workers repaving my street. I work the graveyard shift. FML
Today, I found out the works council won't let the company offer me the job for which I was the only applicant because the council requires 3 years experience with the company. I've only been here for 2 years, 10 months, and 26 days. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I think the problem is OP couldn't get a pool because of this final inspection that never happened.

Nah #20. Final inspections are done when the project is finished. It's a checklist to make sure everything is done right. He has the pool already.

Government works it best when they can go back and hit someone for an additional fee

Id take care when odd things like that happen. He/she may not have been a real council worker but could have been a shady character looking to get entry to your property for other reasons, or a scammer. A quick call to the council to check that they had actually just sent someone would be wise.
