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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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?

You shouldn't feel like an asshole, he's the one refusing to call.

He's the asshole, not you op. That's a really stupid rule though.

Probably his way of getting back at you for being to loud or didn't say hi to him in the morning or something. My BF's downstairs neighbor called the HOA saying that there was water leaking into her apartment every time my BF's tenant did laundry. BF sent a plumber, who found nothing. We haven't heard anything since. This is the 2nd time she's done something like this.

His fault for being a lazy dumbass. If it was a big deal to him, he'd call maintenance. Don't feel bad at all OP

It's his issue if he's not willing call. You're not the asshole he is.

Your neighbour has brought it on himself with his stubbornness and refusal to try and understand the situation

He has himself to blame. Don't blame yourself.

quit being a push over. think for yourself and not of him. i use to think like you. it gets you no where. start putting raw fish down the garbage disposal if you have one.
