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

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
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?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

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

if you have school in the day, then how the hell did you shower in the dark? what kind of lunch were you preparing that required electricity? I'm confused.

1. Op is in Ontario. Not sure the latitude but it's far enough north that it could be dark in the early mornings. Where I live, kids sometimes have to get up at 5am to catch the bus by 6am to get to school by 7:30-8am. 2. Perhaps he was trying (and failing) to make a hot lunch via micro wave, though that doesn't make much sense. This one's a stretch.

Why didn't you just open the blinds or curtains? the sun should be rising around, if not before, you go to school. (assuming your going to school around 8 or 9). And nobody say "maybe he didn't have windows" because a house has to be built with windows or it violates safety codes. So I think this fml is a little over exaggerated..

When I was in high school, the day started at 7:30, and my bus picked me up at 6:30. I remember complaining that I had to wake up before the crack of dawn--when it's still dark out! (At least in winter)

YDI - you should make your lunch the night before so it's ready to grab when you leave for school.
