Today, I was washing my hair in the shower when the water went ice cold. It's 20 degrees outside and we have soft water which takes a longer time to wash away soap. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, the water cut out while I was showering, covered in soap and shampoo. I had to rinse with freezing cold drinking water from the fridge. As soon as I'd dried off, the water supply got restored. FML
Today, as I was shampooing my hair in the shower, the power went out. Since my house has well water, no power means no water. FML
Today, I decided to lighten my hair. I applied the dye and waited 20 minutes. When I went to wash the dye out, the water wouldn't turn on. After my head started to burn, I called the landlord in a panic. Turns out there was a water main break and the entire city block doesn't have water. FML
Today, I was taking a shower, when my dad decided to turn off the water to the house, run upstairs, and throw a bucket of freezing cold sludge into the shower with me. He wouldn't turn the water back on for 2 hours. FML
Today, I was taking a shower for the first time in my new apartment. The shower head broke off the wall and slammed onto my head, while spraying water everywhere. I tried to stop the water, but only stopped the cold and got burnt by the hot. FML
Today, as I showered, I sneezed, hit my face on the wall, got shampoo in my eyes, slipped on a bar of soap, bashed my head on the wall as I fell, grabbed at the walls to stop me from falling and happened to turn off the cold water, scorching me. FML
Today, while taking a shower, I thought that the bathroom was extra steamy because of all the hot water. It wasn't until two-three minutes later when I put some shampoo in my hair that I realized I had forgotten to take my glasses off. FML
Today, I woke up at 3:00 am feeling freezing cold and soaking wet. It turns out that my dad had opened my window when I was sleeping, and rain water had been pouring in on me all night. My hair, face, pillow, blankets, alarm clock, and homework were all soaked as well. FML
Today, my home health aide doused me with what she considered to be Holy Water. It was bottled water. Turns out she was having a meltdown. It's a freezing day in New York City. FML
Today, I got a surprise when a drop of icy cold water hit the back of my neck. I wondered how this could be, as my dad had put in foam insulation on the pipes overhead in my room. It turns out there's one tiny spot that he couldn't insulate due to it being weirdly shaped and hard to reach, which is sweating now. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Kids and their hot water and reverse osmosis filters. You don't know how lucky you have it. Back when I was a kid we bathed in rocks, wiped our rears with broken glass and walked to school (uphill both ways) barefoot through a briar patch.

Today, the phone rang, and while hurrying to answer it I fell down the stairs and broke both my legs. Due to my injuries, I turned to drugs and alcohol which caused me to lose my job. My water and electricity were turned off which meant I was unable to bathe and my friends no longer wanted to hang out with me because of my extreme B.O. I was eventually evicted from my apartment because I could not pay the rent. I wandered the streets for months before being taken to a mental hospital because I had gone insane. I was forced to escape from the hospital because they hardly fed me. Ever since then I have been working as a cheap ***** just barely making enough to support my crack habit. The phone call was a telemarketer. FML. by crackho (man) Is that enough of a travesty for you?

Haha, you are my new favorite person. I keep finding myself curious about what exactly they hope to find on this site. I thought the point was to post those things that just make you think to yourself "FML" I didn't know they had to actually **** your life. That would be a very unhappy website.

what the hell is "soft water" ?
thane321 0
hard water has chemicals and stuff in it (not like deadly ones though :P) and hard water doesn't; or the other way 'round, i can't quite remember.

his definition of soft water is low water pressure. in chemistry terms, "hard water" is water that has divalent cations (Ca+2, Mg+2, etc) in solution in the water. the divalent charge prevents the soap from forming micelles, which are what form bubbles. soft water contains only monovalent cations (Na+, Li+, etc). So, hard water = no suds but like i said, the poster of this fml has low water pressure.

you know i heard that turning the water cold for a minute at the end of your shower boosts your immune system or something so you might not get sick as often as you normally would but im not really sure if thats legit.
