Today, there was a forest fire in my town. I was still forced to go to school, as it was safer. A lot of people decided not to go, and we ended up doing nothing but watching the news reports. There, I got to see my house burning on live TV. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, right before the most important final of my education, I got a text from my mom saying my house had burned to the ground, and my children were outside waiting for the firemen. I panicked, left school, and sped home… all for her to laugh and tell me it was “just a joke.” FML
Today, my house caught fire right before I was supposed to present a school project. My teacher told me to, "just suck it up and do it anyway." FML
Today, my house caught on fire. After it was put out, I realized the damage wasn't bad, mainly smoke damage. I went to my parents' for the night because my house smelled. While there, I received a phone call from my neighbor. Apparently, my house caught fire again. It's now a pile of ashes. FML
Today, I had to call 911. Why? My fireplace caught on fire. FML
Today, my boss told me to not burn the place down while she was outside. When she came back inside, I accidentally started a fire. FML
Today, my neighbour from across the road phoned me at work telling me there was a fire engine outside my house and a lot of smoke. I drove home in a panic, smashing a rear light on a post and getting flashed by a speed camera. It wasn't my house. The firemen were putting out a bonfire next door. FML
Today, police knocked on my door in middle of the night. They said there was a fire in one of the houses in our street, so they were evacuating houses. They wouldn’t let me go back and get dressed. As I was only in my underwear, they told me I could wait in their car. FML
Today, my apartment burned to the ground. I was packed and ready to move out tomorrow. FML
Today, I was home alone and tried to make some popcorn so I could watch a movie. Thirty minutes later, my parents came home and found me talking to the firemen. FML
Today, since I had no lessons until 1 p.m., I headed out to the store to run errands. Our school has a strict policy against leaving the campus during school hours. I returned to a fire drill taking place. The fire assembly point? The student parking lot. All 900 students watched me drive in. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I'm sorry OP. That's sucks. I know I would have been devastated. Hopefully everything valuable to you is safe.

How the **** do people figure so,some deserves their house burned down? I seriously doubt THAT many people personally know the OP, let alone be a testament to them being such a horrid human being that they deserved their house burning down. I hope anyone saying they deserve it or to suck it up have had worse happen to them, because if you haven't experienced something of this caliber first hand, and you think they should suck it up, than you should hold your tongue because you have no idea what it's like. I pray things work out for you OP.

Most of you people seem like you're thinking the opposite of me, but I would have wished that I was home so I could try to save my house and help my family that may be inside.
