Today, the couple I've been housesitting for returned. Apparently, I kept the place too clean, and they don't believe that I actually stayed here. They're refusing to pay me. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, my boyfriend and I cleaned his parents' whole house while they were out, just to be nice. When they came home, they assumed we only did it because we'd made some huge mess that we needed to hide. I'm now banned from their house. FML
Today, my parents came home after being out of town for the weekend. I stayed home, did homework and completely cleaned the house, thinking I could earn some brownie points with them. They saw how clean the house was and accused me of covering up a party. FML
Today, I hired a cleaner to clean my apartment so when my in-laws visited tonight, they wouldn't think I was lazy. I got home from work, the cleaner hadn't shown at all, and my in-laws had arrived early. My mother-in-law is now mopping the floors. FML
Today, after I've been cleaning a hostel 7/7 for free accommodation for a few weeks, and the owner telling me 3 times to take a day off while he was able to do the job, I'm finally leaving. He's now (and only now) asking me to pay for the 3 nights I "didn't work for." FML
Today, I was babysitting. Being kind, I went to grab their mail, while their 4 year old ate lunch. He locked me out, wrecked the house, and let me in right when he saw their car two hours later. I didn't get paid. I paid them. FML
Today, I found out that, after having moved over 500 miles to begin a post-graduate degree, I'm being kicked out of the house I'm renting. We haven't yet signed agreements. Apparently I "keep the kitchen too clean". FML
Today, the cleaning lady left a note that said my room was too dirty to clean. FML
Today, after a month of living in a pigsty of an apartment with my roommates, I spent the day cleaning the place out. When everyone returned home, instead of thanking me, all they could do was point out the spots I'd missed. FML
Today, I got a call from my mom-in-law saying I have to buy my own food. I took 3 weeks off on unpaid vacation and came out of state to watch my in-laws' house and dog sit while they go out of country. I'm not allowed to touch their food, even the spoiling stuff. My husband doesn't believe me. FML
Today, I found out my roommates spent my rent money and told the landlord I never paid. I've paid my rent and theirs the past six months. My name's on the lease. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Take a shit on their dining table and ask if it's enough proof to get paid.

Don't give them their keys back. Threaten to take them to the shadiest part of town and give them with the address to the first person you see.

Obviously, that was the first thing I did. They say it was proof that the place would be much messier had I stayed there for the whole week.

I agree. This is why we can't trust people anymore.

This kind of people are always looking for a way out of payment. If you left any mess they would deduct a cleaning fee, if you would break something they would deduct. Just sue them for the principle and collect your money.

Sue their ******* asses (if you can afford to)

Depending on how much they were going to pay, you could take them to small claims court. Did you sign any contracts? That could help.

Take that as a compliment but get your money too.

They're just being unreasonable pricks! If you took selfies in the house maybe that's proof enough?

or did you use their wifi? maybe show them on their logs that you used the wifi, therefore you were in the house?

Maybe they'll deduct money for using the WiFi.
