Today, I found out that my apartment complex has no rules against having charcoal grills on the porch. So did the guy who lives below me. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, a neighbor called the cops on me and my friends because we were "starting a fire" in the backyard. We were using a barbecue. FML
Today, my grandpa decided to charcoal-grill some steaks. Inside the house. FML
Today, I am appalled that my neighbor was fired from his job. Not because I pity him, but because now he will not only light his stinking grill under my living room window every single night, but also play his radio outside all day long. Also right under my window. His garden is HUGE by the way. FML
Today, I found out that my upstairs neighbor has a cat. I was blessed with this knowledge when she threw several piles of used kitty litter and cat poop over her balcony and onto my patio. FML
Today, my boyfriend thought it was OK for both of us to leave the house with the oven on. FML
Today, I was standing on the patio when one of my upstairs neighbors threw a cigarette butt over the balcony. It landed on my head and burned some of my hair. FML
Today, my fireplace caught fire. The landlord says renters insurance should cover it. The rental insurance says the landlord should. FML
Today, I found out that the 2 loud "firework booms" I heard were actually a guy shooting his dog on the unfinished road behind my house. FML
Today, I discovered that my old roommate had left a full bag of cat litter on my porch and all over my yard. FML
Today, I learned that my new apartment complex does not allow "altercations in community areas". This includes pulling my child out of the pool and reprimanding him for holding his cousin under water. I can't parent outside my apartment. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Maybe you can get some plants out there and water them whenever he is out there. And then "accidentally" spill on him.

Well, I hope you like the smell of smoke, and cooked meat. No, I'm kidding, that really does suck, if you leave the door open your apartment will stink. Also, that REALLY isn't the safest thing, maybe you should talk to the owners?

I'm pretty sure there is a city or county fire ordinance in place...

Pretty sure it's not an apartment rule, but a fire code standard in many cities.

Have you ever smelled the smoke that can come off of a charcoal grill? It is nasty and since the man who owns the grill lives below her apartment, the smell is going to wind in her apartment. It's hard to get rid of on top of that.=

I thought it was Jews who didn't eat pork? Anyways, I'm technically Mormon, and we aren't supposed to drink alcohol, tea, or coffee, and I drink all 3. =P. I'm not the best LDS at all, ha.

That's pretty bad of the guy below you, you'd think he would be more considerate.

I thought the Fire dept. had rules for grilling in places like that? Call them and ask. I'm fairly certain they have rules for that in my state.
