Today, I unknowingly bought a house next to a former toxic waste dump. I found out by reading an article in the paper where residents are claiming that they are experiencing cancer and birth defects. FML

Today, my neighbors were busted for a meth lab in their garage. Yesterday, I signed the mortgage. Welcome to our new neighborhood, kids. FML
Today, after several days of deep-cleaning my house, I found a huge section of my room covered in black mold. I almost puked when I saw it. Not only could that have put anyone in the hospital, but it also explains why I've been getting sick all the time as of late. FML
Today, the water company found that a water main has been leaking steadily possibly for decades and has turned the land my house is built on into an underground bog. Cracks have been appearing in my walls for a while, apparently because my house is slowly sinking into it. FML
Today, I learned why I got such a great deal on my apartment. It's located next to the trash chute. It smells utterly foul three days of the week, and it's the dead of winter now. I dread the summer heat. FML
Today, they're pumping out the septic system in the building next door. I'm three months pregnant, suffering from morning sickness, and can smell everything within a three-mile radius. FML
Today, I saw a kid taking a dump next to my lawn. The good news: his mother picked up the poop to discard it. The bad news: she put it in my mailbox. I now have a pile of smelly brownish tissue-wrapped goo baking under the hot sun inside my mailbox. FML
Today, I witnessed my neighbor draining his sewage-clogged plumbing into my backyard. FML
Today, I realized that my new house is next to an elementary school playground. I figured this out after I kept hearing loud high pitched screaming when the kids had recess from inside my house. My sensory issues are already thanking me. FML
Today, I found out that my 50-year-old ex-husband and the 20-year-old skank he cheated on me with are buying the house next door to me. FML
Today, I found out that the piece of vacant land I purchased for $20,000 is illegal to build a house on, due to acreage restrictions. Thank you, realtor. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Not to sound rude but you should've done research before buying

That's failure to disclose. You should see a lawyer about that. You might be able to get out of there without having to sell or lose a lot of money.

The Oblongs is a great show.

It's probably all nonsense. Most of these claims are just statistical anomalies. Even the most famous, Erin Brokovich's case, was in fact just a shakedown of a large company, with no sound evidence of unusual disease levels.

Oh hey! I moderated this one.....I voted no. I didn't think cancer and birth defects were that funny. Oh well. OP should check with the laws to see if he/she can get out of this with little to no money loss. If anything I'd just abandon it and live at home or with friends.

That has to be disclosed to a buyer! You can get out of the contract! Sue the sellers & get out of there! Years ago, I lived on a World War II toxic dump site in an apt. & my health is crap as is my husbands and our kids!

Chernobyl wasn't a waste dump, it was a nuclear reactor exploding Learn Call of Duty 4 before posting.

OP I would get out anyway possible. The paper mill a few towns over is getting sued out the ass for their workers getting cancer from the chemicals. Lord only knows what was dumped near your property. Get out now and sue whoever you bought the house from. They negelected to tell you something Important.
