Today, with 24 inches of snow on the ground, it is raining like hell. The weight of the snow, now full of rain water, collapsed the roof over my living room. I was eating cereal in my underwear, in the living room, directly under the failure. I'm cold. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
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, 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, as I left my house, the front door slammed shut behind me, causing an entire roof-length of snow to slide over the edge and land directly on my head. FML
Today, the men clearing the walkway outside my dorm room with a snowblower didn't realize that my window was open. I looked over from my computer to see snow shooting in, covering my clock, closet, and radio. Now it's melting. FML
Today, I jumped into a pile of snow which had built up against a wall. Turns out it wasn't snow but a pile of cement covered by an inch of snow. I now have a 3 inch cut along my leg and a sprained wrist from falling. FML
Today, I got snowed in. At work. FML
Today, the weather man announced that today's forecast will include heavy rain and hail in my city. Normally, this wouldn't be a big deal. However, my house has no roof at the moment. FML
Today, I got a phone call to say my workplace was closed due to extreme weather conditions. Looking forward to my day off, I then realised the boiler was broken and my house has no heating despite there being a foot of snow outside. I'm spending the day in bed, wearing all my clothes. FML
Today, I came home to my bed and most of my room soaking wet. This morning, my mom thought it would be "smart" to warm up my room by opening the skylight above my bed. There were heavy showers all day today. FML
Today, the toilet on the top floor of my house burst, soaked the bathroom, and water dripped down into the kitchen and the basement for hours when nobody was home. Eight blowers and a dehumidifier later, the house is about 90 degrees and I can't leave. FML

At least you've now got a heavy blanket to keep you warm.

There is absolutely nothing warmer than getting under a pile of blankets next to a woman who loves you. Now I shall go vomit for being so sappy.

So how did the sappy comments go when you were dating Mrs.Bastard? Did you hold it down temporarily, keep a bucket next to you at all times. Or did you get married without a single cheesy comment dropping?

#14 Sappy Doc is new.. Quite a departure from your normal dry comments. I like.

TrueTriage - I'm sappy with her all the time. It works. Lionesse - Don't get used to it. Dammit.

Sometimes it's a little TOO warm. I often find myself throwing off the blankets when I'm snuggled with my man.

Full body coverage, minus one leg out for optimal air flow.

Sounds like Lenny from the Simpsons. "Don't tell anyone I live like this!"

That's common in a flat roof. Is that the case here? If so, definitely a builders flaw. Hate when they do that in areas of wild weather

A lot of my neighbors have pretty decent inclines to their roofs and still there was several feet of accumulation. But what happened to OP was very foreseeable and reasonably preventable. Everyone in my neighborhood was out shoveling snow off their roofs all day yesterday. (So glad our condo association hires people to take care of that. All we had to deal with was the porches.)

Bad time to be wearing underwear, but hopefully your okay

Good time. What if OP hadn't been wearing any?
