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

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, my room was so cold that I actually had to wear a coat to enter it without feeling extremely uncomfortable. I have insulated curtains for this exact reason, but it looks like that won't do. FML
Today, I slept on the couch last night. Not because of an angry significant other, but because my bedroom was absolutely freezing, thanks to the wind. It was like a giant freezer. Even fully cocooning myself in blankets with a sweater on didn't work. I should get a space heater. 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, like always, my parents are such tightwads that they refused to turn the heating system on, despite the ball-freezing temperatures. I was so cold, I had to resort to warming my hands up over the toaster. FML
Today, I woke up to a quite frigid room, which wasn't out of the ordinary since my building's heat is broken. But I realized that the extra cold I was feeling was due to the snow piled up on my bed. It had snowed 20 inches last night. My mom had apparently opened my window. FML
Today, my boyfriend is wearing a t-shirt and shorts. I'm wearing leggings, sweatpants, a vest, t-shirt, jumper and hoodie. If we turn the heating any higher, he starts overheating and sweating. At the current level, I'm still shivering. FML
Today, the heating in my house broke down. I called my boyfriend and asked if I could stay at his place until I could get it fixed. He said no, and told me my overgrown leg hair would keep me warm. FML
Today, the whole upstairs was so cold that I had to wear mittens inside. When I asked my parents why it was so cold, they replied that to save money, they had decided not to heat the upstairs, since "nobody is ever up there, anyway." My bedroom is upstairs. 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, my mom made me go shopping with her. It was freezing out, but she didn't wear a coat, boasting that she doesn't feel the chill like I do. By the time we drove home she was whining about freezing to death, and now I'm stuck in a house whose heating is set to "inferno". FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Obviously you should just start a trash can fire next to your bed

maybe an electric blanket? Of it wasn't such an old building I'd suggest installing a wood furnace.

Buy a hot water bottle, fill it up and slip it between your clothes for 5 minutes before you get dressed

Pass the iron through them, it only takes a few minutes.

I get you. It's so cold in my room that even while under a big blanket and wearing two coats, two pairs of pants, two pairs of socks, AND shoes...I freeze throughout the night. My hands cramp and burn from it. Try to stay warm OP!

I love how so many people on this thread that everyone can afford their electric bill being jacked up by $100-200 in order to use space/electric heaters to warm their house.

Where do you live that a small space heater in one room would jack the bill up that much? I keep a space heater in my bedroom, north facing, 5 windows, where I have had frost on the floor in winter, while my heat is on, and it only adds $30 to my bill. Old houses, gotta love them. I felt like this was a teenager living under her parents roof, anyways, and not paying the bills. I used to to do it to my mom, turn up the thermostat when she'd say put on a sweater, she'd get so mad.

It's a very old, poorly insulated house. My room also has 5 windows. The heater has to run hard and constant to even make a difference.

I get the feeling that none of these people have to pay for their electricity

You should come down here. Temperature never drops below 28C.

Do you know what an iron is?

Well, it's better than having to cuddle with your clothes so they're not to hot in the morning because your heater has gotten to that point.

This is why people think Canadians live in igloos!
