Today, my neighbor at my apartment building told me water from my sink was leaking into his apartment. He told me to call maintenance to fix it, but they won't help unless he calls. He refuses to, and I can't do my dishes without feeling like an asshole. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, my landlord refused to send a plumber over to unclog the sink. Now he wants me to pay for water damages because he didn't call a plumber sooner. FML
Today, the maintenance man 'fixed' a leak in my apartment by flooding the place. FML
Today, my water got cut off. The previous homeowners owed the water company over $300, and the company doesn't believe that I'm not them. The supervisor told me this will keep happening until I pay up. I need a shower. FML
Today, I woke up to a repairman at my door who was simply supposed to turn my water back on in my apartment. Two hours and 5 repairmen later, all I have now is a large hole in my ceiling. Still no water. FML
Today, I witnessed my neighbor draining his sewage-clogged plumbing into my backyard. FML
Today, and for the last two weeks, my asshole landlord refuses to fix the hot water supply. My shower is now so cold that peeing on myself while washing is actually helping. I need a new place. FML
Today, I woke up to a flooded apartment. Apparently, the upstairs neighbor's bathtub had overflowed and water was pouring through my ceiling. My landlord said he couldn't do anything until the water stopped, so I spent the morning frantically trying to mop up the water while feeling completely helpless. FML
Today, I woke up to a fog. Literally. A pipe burst in my apartment and scalding water was everywhere. To make matters worse, when I called maintenance he told me he'd come by later, hung up on me, and turned his phone off. He did eventually show up, but it was 5 hours later, well after I'd paid a plumber $200. FML
Today, our dishwasher broke. It's my husband's chore to do the dishes, but he refused to hand-wash them, and instead suggested we take them all up to his mother's for her to put in her dishwasher. FML
Today, my sink seemed to be filling up with dirty water. Concerned, I turned on the garbage disposal and plunged away. With no change in the water levels, I called a plumber. He reached in, pulled out the drain plug, and give me his bill while chuckling to himself. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

If he refuses to call, then he can deal with the flooding

You should probably get that fixed anyway. Just complain til maintenance comes out otherwise that's going to cause damage to your place, possibly leaving you liable for charges. If you bitch enough, you'll get your way.

You tried to help him. His refusal to call maintenance takes the responsibility off of your shoulders. I would "encourage" him to get the problem fixed by leaving the water on for a few days.

Well, it's his own fault, he's the one needing to call

If he really cared, he would get it fixed and make the damn phone call.

I would say get a watch, or a clock to hang on the wall. Sorry your boss was being a jerk!

Why does maintenance want your neighbor to call to have your sink repaired?

It would be best to record a phone call to the landlord/building maintenance to have auditory proof in case something happens.

if he won't call then obviously he must like getting water in his place. in which case, carry on! besides, some people aren't happy unless they have something to complain about.
