Today, I was vacuuming our house because I wanted to help my parents. I wore a headset while listening to REALLY loud music. The vacuuming job took me two hours and when I took of my headset I noticed that I hadn't started the vacuum cleaner. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I tried out my new noise-canceling headphones while vacuuming my house. They worked so well that I didn't hear the vacuum stop when the plug fell out of the outlet. I accidentally had the vacuum off the entire time. FML
Today, I wore noise-canceling headphones while cleaning my apartment. Apparently I'd been singing at the top of my lungs for nearly an hour, because my neighbor knocked on my door just to ask if everything was OK. FML
Today, I woke up to the sound of my roommate vacuuming at 7 a.m. I was annoyed because I had stayed up late, but then I realized she was vacuuming in the kitchen… at 7 a.m. because the broom "wasn't powerful enough." I gave her the benefit of the doubt until she started vacuuming my bedroom floor while I was still in bed. FML
Today, I finally finished vacuuming my downstairs. Instead of finding the wall outlet and unplugging the vacuum, I triumphantly tugged the cord from across the room to release the plug from the wall. It flew at me at top speed and hit me in the face. FML
Today, I bought a new vacuum cleaner after having to go several months without one. Immediately, I wanted to try it out. I must have underestimated how powerful it was, as it sucked up my socks and then broke. FML
Today, I realized just how lonely I am when I started singing and harmonizing with the vacuum cleaner. FML
Today, I came into work early to clean equipment, with my headphones on, singing to myself. I lost track of time, and wound up with the entire office watching me belt tunes out. FML
Today, with words of encouragement from my mom, I vacuumed my room. After finishing and admiring my job well done, I went to put the vacuum away. It caught on the plug for my electric razor which was dangling below the dresser and yanked that and everything else that was on top of it off. FML
Today, my daughter decided to wake me up by putting the vacuum in my hair and turning it on. FML
Today, my mother woke me up by loudly vacuuming the house. I had to work the next morning, so I asked her what she was thinking. She told me that if I was really tired and needed sleep, I wouldn't have woken up. It was 3 AM. FML

I really don't think it could happen to anyone. You'd basically have to know absolutely nothing about a vacuum cleaner.

First, if you listen to music so loud that you can't hear a vacuum cleaner, you are damaging your hearing, period. Second, even if you can't hear it, vacuum cleaners vibrate when they are turned on, so it should've been at least a bit suspicious that yours didn't, period. Third, this means you're an idiot, period.

Absolutely fake. I've done enough vacuuming with various vacuum cleaners to know this. How about the suction on the carpet/floor? Vibration of the vacuum cleaner? Hearing the sound between songs? There's no way this is possible unless you're a complete idiot. PS If you're listening to your music THAT loud you are most certainly going to go deaf sooner than later.

OP's actual story: "So today I was high out of my mind and listening to pink floyd. I thought I went on magical journey where I vacuumed my whole house, but in reality I'm just a retard that humped the vacuum for two hours."
