Work: Today, while I was in a very important meeting on Skype, my apartment...

Today, while I was in a very important meeting on Skype, my apartment complex was evacuated due to the fire alarm going off. The reason was that my neighbor put a fork in his microwave due to him being extremely drunk. FML

Dude, what the…?

Today, I woke up to my apartment filled with smoke, fire alarms blaring. My roommate set my kitchen on fire while making hot dogs. This is the fourth time this has happened. FML

Today, my kitchen nearly burned down because the fire alarm didn't detect the plumes of smoke wafting through the kitchen. This is the same alarm that wails when I use the toaster. FML

Today, I was sleeping in my apartment when I woke up to the smell of smoke. Alarmed, I ran out to the kitchen to find my roommates trying to put out a fire on the stove. As soon as they saw me, they ran for it, informing me that it was my problem now. They used my good frying pan. FML

Damned freshmen

Today, a freshman set off the fire alarm in my dorm at 2 a.m. He tried to microwave Easy Mac without adding water. I had to stand outside for 45 minutes while the firemen moved the noodles to the sink and ran cold water over them. FML

Today, while helping my mom to cook, I was reminded that when the fire alarm goes off in our house, dinner is ready. FML

Today, I got home late from work, so I decided to make myself a microwave meal. I pierced the plastic film several times. A little too loudly for my hateful bastard of a neighbor, I guess, because he called the cops on me, claiming he heard gunshots from my apartment. FML

Today, I awoke at 5am to the smell of smoke and the sound of sirens. It seems the whole Santa Monica Fire Department had made it outside our apartment complex. We had to wake up every single person on our floor. What for? An old lady burned a muffin. FML

Today, I was babysitting for my usual. After putting the baby to sleep I put some popcorn in the microwave and went to the bathroom. When I came out the whole kitchen was filled with smoke. One of the neighbors saw and called 911. I'm out of a job. FML

Fire hazard

Today, I was trying to cook a pizza for lunch at my in-laws. I preheated the oven and took my dog out to go potty. I come back in to find the house filled with smoke, the detector going off, and a fire in the oven. Apparently, my mother-in-law left a tray of glass candle holders in it. FML

Today, my neighbor was having work done in his apartment, and he'd warned me that there might be some noise. Yes, there was, what with all the town's firemen in the building after he'd ruptured the main gas pipe. FML

I hope your client/ colleague was understanding. Perhaps stab/prod your neighbour with a fork as a form of catharsis?

That seems a little extreme.

How the hell do people see this as something you deserve? Hope everything is okay, OP.

Usually they hit it by mistake. Once they pick one that can't change it back. FML should really change that.

13 - I've definitely fat-fingered the YDI on my phone before and I've felt terrible for it. FML should do something about it. I've also reflexively tapped the FYL when it was really a YDI so that sucks too.

That happened to me on a post about OP cheating on his girlfriend. Accidentally hit YLS out of habit. I was pissed at myself for an hour.

Thing is, there are some idiots who select YDI whether they deserve it or not.

15, I've done that too. I still don't know why you can't take back your vote yet you can vote for both. FML logic I guess.

I'm sure this helped in making a lasting impression, regardless of if they understand or not.

It never said it was a job interview

#4 edited his comment it used to say "regardless if you got the job or not" that's where my interview comment came from

I did edit the comment, realised shortly after posting it that an interview was never mentioned.

Had a similar incident at work. Someone thought a can of soup in the microwave was a reasonable way to heat up their lunch. Between the blown circuit breaker and the screaming from the breakroom, we thought someone dropped a fork in the toaster...a more reasonable, intelligent reason.
