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

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
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?

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.

Are you kidding me? Where I live it's -34 celsius which is -20 in fahrenheit and there is about three feet of snow. GET OVER IT!

Not to mention he made the same mistake he blasted me for... I am female. :) I realize our profiles do not specify, but that doesn't make it any less funny to me.

if it's an electric heater, flip the breaker off..... if it's gas.. turn the gas off... when it gets cold.. turn it back on

Wow! A whole foot of snow? That's sooo much. We got 86 inches in four days. Nothing shut down. School remained in session. The roads were fine. And 20 degrees? That would be a heat wave. I hate it when people complain about anything less that at least four feet of snow. Especially when they get it over a month. Try driving down a highway with a blizzard. It's intense.

the OP was explaining why the repairman wouldn't come out. Not the OP's fault so you don't have to be so rude.

Ummmm exagerate much? $1000 bucks for a heater running a couple of days on high??? I bet you have a 12 inch dick too

actually, BGE would charge 1000 for this. Not just one day, of course, but over the course of the month. They charge a LOT here.
