Today, I found out that apparently the pipes for my toilet were never connected, so anything you flush just falls out onto the basement floor downstairs. I've lived here 4 years. FML

Today, we woke up to two inches of water in our finished basement, which my wife and I use it as our bedroom. The plumber found roots in our sewer line. The kicker: we just bought the house four days ago. FML

Today, I came home from work to find my house was flooded from a broken pipe under the sink. My house had just recently had new wood floors, carpet and electrics installed because 6 months earlier my house had been flooded by the same pipe breaking. FML

I'm pissed

By lifestinks - 23/08/2009 03:29 - United States

Today, my work finally hired someone to replace some leaky pipes. I work in the basement by myself, and just as I walked under the newly-fixed pipes, I got soaked with what appeared to be water. Apparently it was connected to a toilet. My boss couldn't find a replacement, so they made me work covered in piss. FML

Today, I took a big, smelly, satisfying dump when I woke up. When I tried to flush, nothing happened. None of my four roommates bothered to tell me we didn’t have running water. FML

Today, sewage came up the toilet and tub in my apartment and spread far enough to get into the hallway. The maintenance crew found the source of the blocked pipes to be a ten inch long weave some idiot flushed down a toilet. FML

Our House

By Anonymous - 26/10/2020 11:01

Today, I found out I have another leak in my house. I've had three inspections and they were all shit. At this point, that pipe is the only remaining original pipe in the entire house. Over 25k have officially gone into this BS. Note to all: go "new." 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, I awoke to find a water pipe burst. I frantically ran down to the basement to turn off the water to the house. What I didn't expect when I reached the bottom of the stairs was to have to start dodging the falling, wet ceiling tiles. FML

Took the words out of my mouth. Does he not have a nose? Or just never use that toilet?

Maybe it's an apartment building? That's the only rational option I could ever consider.

I don't see how this is possible. Op, we need a follow up, because you should've been smelling that after the second day, one week at the very latest, so please explain how this went unnoticed and unsmelled for 4 years!

personally, these are getting friggin annoying. grow some balls. dont "see yourself out the door". if its an overused pun, but you still wanna make it, then make it with confidence. act like nobody has ever heard it before, be proud of it. the funniest comedy shows are done by confident performers.

Heres a good original pun; sounds like (wait for it) a (wait a little longer while i scratch my nose) absolutely horrid ordeal which must of cost alot of time and money, and must have been very strenous for op. Hows that for a original pun? Just kidding, i think op kinda deserves it, although i would like to know the exact details of this shitty (you can stop waiting) situation. Wheres the follow up?
