Today, I finally managed to sleep, after two days of being kept awake by the miniature floodlights my neighbors have installed to scare off burglars. Only a couple of hours into my sleep, I woke up to the sound of their car being broken into. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, after my windshield wipers being stolen twice in a row, I decided to hide in my car to catch the thief. I fell asleep. When I woke up, the new wipers were gone. FML
Today, I woke up to find my car broken into. After being upset for not hearing my car alarm go off I realized it had in the middle of the night. I had woken up and cursed the idiot who set off their alarm and put a pillow over my head, falling back to sleep shortly after. FML
Today, I woke up to the sound of my car being stolen. FML
Today, my car was broken into, on the same night I stayed up late researching how to install my new car alarm. FML
Today, after 5 hours of attempting to sleep, I began to finally drift off. Then, some fuckwit who'd parked his car right outside my door took 20 minutes to switch his alarm off. I have to be up in about 4 hours, after a 12-hour night shift, heading into another. FML
Today, I had finally gotten my dogs to quiet down and my baby to fall asleep. Not thirty seconds later, my neighbor's car alarm went off. They aren't home for the weekend, and the damn alarm has now been blaring for three hours. FML
Today, after quite a long work day, I got home to find my house had been broken into. Everything but my sleeping boyfriend was gone. FML
Today, I awoke to the sound of my neighbors attacking my car with a baseball bat accusing me of calling the cops on them. I did call the cops on them, after they screamed at me last night, drunkenly, to call the cops for them because they thought they were being robbed. FML
Today, I was so tired, I passed out at work in the middle of a call. All because my neighbor's car alarm kept going off every 3 minutes all through the morning. It was still going when I left for work. If you see a news story in a few days about a whole neighborhood beating a guy to death, that's probably us. FML
Today, I spent an hour in my car terrified to go inside because I thought my house was being burgled. I saw rapid shadows in the light of my lounge. Eventually I plucked up the courage to creep inside with a rock to find it wasn't a robber. It was my cats, fighting in front of a toppled lamp. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Hey op here's a tip for the lights put a sheet up over the window to block out the light. Hope you get some sleep soon.

Watt's the big deal? You don't sound very bright to me. Let me shed some light on the situation - hang some blackout shades and wear ear plugs.

My grandparents have these blinds that make their bedroom completely black even in the middle of the day... It's heaven :)

Maybe you can point out to your neighbors that since you're a light sleeper, you'll hear the burglars (like you just did) and they can nix the lights.

I wish you a better night's rest tonight! And you may want to speak with them about their obnoxious lights. Until then, close your blinds and pin sheets over the windows.

You really have to appreciate the irony.

I'm actually fairly impressed by the thief. I get the feeling he was probably grinning the entire time.

He was probably trying to collect funds for a special cart to support his massive balls.

You need to retaliate! Set up about 50 laser pointers and point them a different windows of their house!

The lights probably made stealing the car even easier. Now that your neighbors don't have a car, they'll be asking you for rides at all hours of the night or stealing your car.

I suggest putting a dark blanket on your window or listening to some music while sleeping
