Today, due to an unforeseen pipe-related incident, I had to shave my legs in my backyard fish pond, while a plumber assessed the damage to my war-zone of a bathroom. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, after dealing with tons of drama and working a 14 hour shift, I took a shower. When I stepped out, a weak spot in the floor gave way. While falling through the floor I grabbed the toilet tank lid, which fell into the tank and broke it. Now my leg hurts and the bathroom's flooded. FML
Today, I tried to fix a leaky pipe after watching a tutorial. I turned what I thought was the main valve to cut the water, loosened the pipe, and immediately got sprayed in the face. In my panic, I tightened it wrong and made it worse. I had to call a plumber while standing in a puddle, holding a towel against the pipe like that was helping. FML
Today, I tried to fix a leaking pipe under the sink. I watched a YouTube tutorial and was feeling confident that I could get the job done. Two hours later, half of the kitchen was practically flooded because I forgot to cut the water off, and scrambled to actually find the main valve, then I had to call an emergency plumber, who showed up, laughed, and fixed it in five minutes. FML
Today, I'm stuck at home waiting on a plumber to come fix the flooding in my basement. The flooding happens when any sink, shower, or toilet in the house is used. Today is also the day that I started my period. Without water. FML
Today, we had to turn the water off due to a massive leak in the kitchen sink that the plumber was currently fixing. I managed to wait two hours before my uncooperative digestive tract said it couldn't wait any longer and I had to take a mega dump in the bathroom. I couldn't flush the toilet or wash my hands. FML
Today, I was speeding home, bursting to take a crap. I pulled into my driveway and made it inside, before my wife told me the plumber was still working on our pipes. I ended up having to take a crap in my own backyard, behind a tree. FML
Today, I finally started a DIY home improvement project I'd been putting off for a while now. As I was drilling into the wall, I managed to hit a plumbing pipe that I didn't know was there and started flooded my living room. FML
Today, the pipe in the dining room sink suddenly broke open and in about 15 minutes my entire apartment was turned into an indoor swimming pool. The worst part? I was there the entire time, playing video games with my headphones on. FML
Today, I popped into the shower hoping to come out all warm and clean. Something was very wrong with the pipes, and I came out smelling like sewage instead. FML
Today, I woke up to a fog. Literally. A pipe burst in my apartment and scalding water was everywhere. To make matters worse, when I called maintenance he told me he'd come by later, hung up on me, and turned his phone off. He did eventually show up, but it was 5 hours later, well after I'd paid a plumber $200. FML

You couldn't just skip one day? I think fish pond legs are worse than stubble.

Can't you go a day without shaving your legs? Or just wear long pants?

Fish ponds have an awful amount of bacteria in them.. Couldn't you get an infection if you nicked yourself and got pond water in the cut?

Yea WTF lol just skip a day, wear long pants, or go to a friends house... But then again if you shave your legs in a fish pond you probably don't have friends

Its called possible infections if you accidentally nick yourself with a razor. there's a lot of algae and bacteria in that pond... btw there's fish poop in that water too

Really? I always thought fish excrement just magically disappeared after it was produced.

There might not be fish in the pond.

And, her next FML will be that she lost her legs due to contracting a flesh eating bacteria.....Shaving your legs in a bacterial infested, poop infested fish pond was not a smart move. A ton of bacteria grows in fish ponds along, with many different types of fungi. Also, fish are really bad about getting parasites, like worms and mites, along with microscopic organism that could easily find their way into your blood stream and then into important organs, like the liver, heart or brain.

What was so important that you just had to shave your legs in a backyard pond? I'm curious big time. Might I add gross you could have gotten all kinds of bacteria.
