Today, I woke up to find my power was out. After taking a shower in the dark and being unable to make myself lunch, my power came on two minutes before I had to leave for school. 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, the power went out. Thankfully, it was early in the morning so I should've been able to sleep through it. Then I realized I have an impossible time sleeping during power outages. FML
Today, there was a power outage at my apartment. I ended up deciding that the power wasn't going to come on any time soon, and that I should go to a hotel for the night. Just after I unpacked at the hotel, my neighbor called to say the power had come back. FML
Today, a strong storm knocked the power out at our office. I was dismissed five hours early, had my desk locked up and was walking toward the doors to leave when the power came back on. FML
Today, the power went out at school. If it's out for more than twenty minutes, standard procedure is to let us go home. They came back on almost nineteen minutes later. FML
Today, I woke up to go to school. I was unbelievably tired, but I gathered the courage to go take my shower. I then took a long shower, cleaned up my room, got dressed, and ate breakfast. Going back to my room, I looked at the clock, which read 3:22 AM. FML
Today, my power went out due to a huge snow storm. I was in desperate need of candles and flashlights. I had to walk to the store since the roads were closed. I walked 4 miles in the blizzard. When I got home, the power came back on. FML
Today, I'm staying in a hotel. The power went out while I was having a shower. So I waited for it to come back on, until an announcement came over the fire alarm, "Due to generating failure, the power will be off for the rest of the night. Sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused, and have a good night." FML
Today, I was doing an online live exam with the camera on when the power suddenly went out. FML
Today, I had a really good day out just to come home right before the electricity company closed for the day, to find out my payment hadn’t gone through and they'd turned it off. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I think your school finds it a proper excuse why you were late if you didn't make it in the end. It sounds like the black out wasn't only in your house so they can even look it up if it is that horrible your late

I wondered about that. Do you go to night school, OP? How difficult is it to make a sandwich in the dark or the daylight or in the two minutes before you had to leave?

maybe op lives in a place where there's no windows :/

maybe it was six am and still dark.

That is all possible but it doesn't explain how OP can shower in the dark but not make lunch or why OP couldn't make lunch in that two minutes.

Depends on how your water and electricity works.

Not for most people. City water has pressure. Maybe if you have a private well?

Where we live as soon as you're out of the city limits you're on well water. A lot of people have that down here, and we're still in civilization, or a close approximation of it.

My water heater runs on gas, so I have hot water when the power is out. And I grew up in a house with a well. When the power was out the pump wouldn't work. Don't call someone stupid unless you know what you're talking about.

YDI for having a well.
