Today, I can't get my heat to turn off. It is currently 87 degrees Fahrenheit in my house, and my heat is running non-stop. It's about 20 degrees outside with over a foot of snow on the ground, so a repairman can't come out to fix it. My electricity bill will be about $1000. FML

Today, my heating broke. It's 22 degrees outside, and my father won't let us call someone to fix it because apparently the cold helps the soul grow. FML
Today, since moving to a state with relatively milder winters last year, my heating bill has more than doubled. I am now paying more to keep my new apartment at 62 when it is 20 outside, than what I was paying to keep my ancient apartment at 70 when it was minus 14 outside. FML
Today, my furnace and all of my heating systems broke down. A fridge is 3 degrees Celsius; it is now 2 degrees Celsius in my house. I would be warmer in my fridge. 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, after repairing the toilet, the light, the shower, the cooker and the heater in the flat I've just moved into, my boiler dies. It's mid December, about 1 degree outside. FML
Today, my furnace broke down, almost a month after its twenty year warranty expired. It would have been replaced for free. Now I'm going to have to take out a loan to afford the $4,000 replacement. FML
Today, my parents have kept their bet going about not turning the heat on all season. I woke up this morning to it being the same temperature inside as it was outside. It's snowing out there. 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, we're both sick, the heating hasn’t been working for 3 days, yet the repair company refuses to fix it because some technicality is not up to current regulations. Right on time, we’re also about to be hit by a cold spell, promising sub-zero temperatures. FML
Today, my AC stopped working and I have no money. I live in Phoenix, Arizona. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Why can't they come fix it? It's called an emergency call, that's what they do. I can't believe a foot of snow is stopping any legitimate HVAC repairman from coming to your house. I would try calling someone else.

Open a window, that'll at least make it more comfortable.

@ 52 (Br0wn Pr1d3) [I can't reply on the app.] That's actually completely possible. So long as the temperature is below (or even slightly above) freezing, snow can fall in the right conditions. Where I live, we usually get more snow on the warmer days (0C to -20C) than the extremely cold ones. Considering that previous posters have stated the temperature to be between 20F and 27F, the temperature is below freezing where the OP lives and snow is definitely reasonable.

In Soviet Russia heat turns off you! (bad joke, I know.) But in Soviet Russia, you wouldn't have any heat anyway.

Look at your own hypocritical statement. I believe telling NotEven to "check your ******* facts" for the honest mistake of thinking the OP was a woman instead of a man classifies as "giving people grief over nothing." You just look like a douche. :/

Any gas heating system should have a manual valve to stop the flow of gas. Close it. If it's an electric heater, you can cut off the power using the appropriate circuit breaker. If the problem persists, you can become your own thermostat, i.e. turn off the heat when it gets too hot, then turn it back on again once your house cools. Won't be convenient, but it should hold until the repairman arrives.

If your heat is electric go to your fuse panel and flip the circuit breaker or pull out the fuse if it's one of the old-fashioned glass fuses.
