Today, I'm so broke, I resorted to breaking into my old apartment complex to do my laundry in the basement for free. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I spent over $20 at the laundromat doing two weeks of laundry, just to avoid using the facilities in my apartment complex and having to deal with my creepy landlord trying to steal my underwear again. FML
Today, I spent my afternoon rummaging through old jeans and other pants, due to being broke and needing cash for ramen. FML
Today, I did my laundry in my dorm. After dragging 2 hampers down 4 flights of stairs, my ID card with money on it was rejected. After dragging it back upstairs, I scrounged up enough quarters from friends. Thirty minutes after finally starting my laundry, I realized I forgot to add detergent. FML
Today, I went to do the laundry at my hotel. I had just enough money for my two loads. After getting frustrated with the washer taking two of my quarters and giving no credit, I took the clothes out. The washer then locked the door shut and started without my clothes. FML
Today, I finally got around to doing laundry. The washing machines in my condominium building take about an hour to do a load. When I returned to throw my clothes in a dryer, I realized they were never washed in the first place. I used my card and detergent to pay for another person's laundry. FML
Today, I went to do my laundry. Having no laundry bag, I put clothes in a suitcase and headed to the basement. When my roommate saw me, she burst into tears with happiness. FML
Today, after putting a bag of dirty laundry in the laundry room to wait for an open washer, I came back to find a "free stuff" sign on all of my expensive jeans, new towels, and favorite sweatshirts. The bag was over half empty. FML
Today, after scouring my apartment for quarters to do laundry, I found the correct amount of change. The change got jammed in the washing machine. I now have no more quarters, and my clothes are caked with soap from washing them in the sink. FML
Today, my tiny apartment flooded. My family lives out of state and the few friends I have all gave me B.S. excuses for why I can't stay over for a few nights. I'm so broke this month that I'll probably have to hit up my psycho ex. FML
Today, my house was broken into. I'm really poor and don't have a television or nice clothing, so they just dumped my trash all over the house and stole my one loaf of bread that was supposed to last me for the week. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

"Whoever breached our security seemed to have intimate knowledge of our alarm systems. It's as though they were… BORN within the system! Yes, a rogue security protocol escaping like Agent Smith from The M—" "Uh, it could've been one of the previous tenants." "…I guess that sort of makes sense."

You shouldn't be doing this, but I can totally understand how life takes us there sometimes

If you had the key I guess it's not technically breaking in. if you didn't have the key then add +5 to your stealth

♫BROKE INTO THE OLD APARTMENT♪

Love all the people voting down the people calling OP out. Breaking into a building to do laundry for free... So really stealing from the landlord and residents since they have to pay for it. I guess the people supporting them would be ok if someone steals their car as long as the thief would use it to drive to work?

While I get your point, it'd be more like using a public pool or going ice skating without paying the entry fee and less like stealing someone's car.

What If I told you I am your landlord?

I've had toast for dinner for a week, you'll be fine. You can always go to a relative or friends place.

I don't understand how people can be that broke. I have a shit construction job making $10/hr and I'm not broke. Spend less than you make

Aren't the police going to arrest you for what you did, since you just wrote about it on here?

You must be waiting for that deposit from your boss. In the meantime don't leave your small dog alone with your clean laundry.

op, just hand wash your stuff like a normal person.
