Today, my furnace and all of my heating systems broke down. A fridge is 3 degrees Celsius; it is now 2 degrees Celsius in my house. I would be warmer in my fridge. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I learned how to make my fridge colder. I felt that what it was set on felt a little warmer than normal, so I turned it down. Now everything in my fridge is frozen. FML
Today, my refrigerator defrosted itself. FML
Today, my heating broke. It's 22 degrees outside, and my father won't let us call someone to fix it because apparently the cold helps the soul grow. FML
Today, my mom wants to save money on both heating and electricity. Put into practice, this means that the temperature in my room is about the same as that in our fridge. FML
Today, after repairing the toilet, the light, the shower, the cooker and the heater in the flat I've just moved into, my boiler dies. It's mid December, about 1 degree outside. FML
Today, we're both sick, the heating hasn’t been working for 3 days, yet the repair company refuses to fix it because some technicality is not up to current regulations. Right on time, we’re also about to be hit by a cold spell, promising sub-zero temperatures. FML
Today, I was very cold and tired, so I took a shower to warm up and went to bed. The minute I hopped into bed, it collapsed and broke. I have spent half-an-hour rearranging furniture to get the mattress on to the floor. Now I'm cold again. FML
Today, I got a phone call to say my workplace was closed due to extreme weather conditions. Looking forward to my day off, I then realised the boiler was broken and my house has no heating despite there being a foot of snow outside. I'm spending the day in bed, wearing all my clothes. FML
Today, the lack of heating in my room has gotten to the point where I have to cuddle my clothes for the next day at night so they're not freezing when I wake up. FML
Today, during the worst flu we've ever had, my wife and I have to go out into thirty-below weather to get firewood because the furnace broke down. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Not at all impossible, Manon. I've been there. Three day power outage in the middle of winter. I could see my breath. The fridge, normally keeping cold in, kept the cold out during that time. I had to put stuff in my fridge to keep it from freezing.

Go buy some electric heaters and use that to heat your house. At least its a temporary solution. You can always return them as soon as your furnace is fixed as long as its within the return policy :)

I feel for ya man, -35 F here with wind chill pretty much all week, plus all the snow that followed the bitter cold.

#27, if you are saying that YOUR HOUSE got to 17 degrees F then you my friend need to read the question again, or go back to science class. 2 degrees celcius is about 35 degrees F. So you are basically saying you, yourself deserved it because your house was colder than OP's.

Well he also lives in Ontario, so I'm pretty sure he's talking about Celcius. However, it's only 0 degrees outside where he is right now. It might be colder where the OP is. I'm in Alberta and it's -27 right now

It's -40 in Edmonton today, and I had to walk to my friends house. You don't know cold.

I live in Alaska; I'm an Alaskan Eskimo. Before you tell anyone "they don't know cold", remind yourself that there's always somewhere colder ;) as for the OP, that sucks. Both our central heating system and our backup heating system went out for six days a few weeks ago during a nasty cold spell. Turns out that the secondary heating system broke because the house got so cold that some of the inside components were caked with ice.

Just you wait. I'm in Edmonton, as well. It's suppose to hit -48*C tonight. My furnace was broken for two weeks. I finally got it fixed two days ago. Just in time.
