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 :)

Happened to us twice at this house. You need to heave heaters with you. Go to walmart, buy some and turn on your fireplace if you have one. Invest in a fireplace if you don't have one. A good gas fireplace can honestly heat up a good portion of your house. Also put on your winter clothes and sleep in them. We even had some sort of VIP insurance were they were suppose to fix our furance within 24hours. However, they didn't fix it for 3 days. It was the dead of winter both times. Furances always break during winter exam times, at least they have for me. Everything actually breaks when I have exams. Currently I need to new faucet, but I haven't had time to go out buy one and replace it. It keeps dripping!

I'm in New England and I haven't need to turn the heat on yet in my apartment. But then again 1. I love the cold and like it to be 60-68 degrees and 2. I live in an apartment complex and everyone else is cranking up the heat and the warmth seeps in through the walls.

Do it ghetto, open your oven and turn that bitch on. High electricity bill is better then freezing to death

For those who claim Fahrenheit doesn't make sense, it was made in 1724, where 0 was the lowest temperature Daniel Fahrenheit could achieve at the time. 4 was the freezing point of water, and 12 was the temperature of the body. He believed the numbers were too small, so he multiplied them all by eight. For conventional uses, if you understand the reasons behind the number, it actually makes sense. The increments are smaller, so its easier to name a temperature without going into fractions, like Centigrade-using countries do.

I've never seen temperatures listed as fractions, don't just make shit up.

4, 12, and 8 seem convinient to you? Why not something that makes sense to people used to the decimal system?

#77, with all due respect, i have to say that you are wrong in almost all of your claims. Fahr·en·heit (frn-ht) adj. Abbr. F Of or relating to a temperature scale that registers the freezing point of water as 32°F and the boiling point as 212°F at one atmosphere of pressure. "D.G., simple soul that he was, thought this cockeyed system was the soul of elegance. He made one useful change: to get rid of the fractions, he multiplied Romer's degrees by 4, giving him 30 for the freezing point and 90 for body temperature. Then, for reasons nobody has ever been able to fathom, he multiplied all the numbers by 16/15, making 32 freezing and 96 body temperature. Boiling point for the time being he ignored altogether. " Credit to Cecil Adams. Do some research before attempting to post scientific claims please. As you are on here, i would believe that you have the knowledge and know how of the internet to an extent where using Google should not be overly difficult. OP, FYL, that would be unimaginably shitty.
