Today, I went for my daily post-op doctor's appointment, where I was told I can resume normal activities. Which was handy when I came home to half-an-inch of water throughout my apartment, due to my washing machine drainage pipe coming undone while I was gone. FML

Today, due to an unforeseen pipe-related incident, I had to shave my legs in my backyard fish pond, while a plumber assessed the damage to my war-zone of a bathroom. FML
Today, I finally started a DIY home improvement project I'd been putting off for a while now. As I was drilling into the wall, I managed to hit a plumbing pipe that I didn't know was there and started flooded my living room. FML
Today, I'm stuck at home waiting on a plumber to come fix the flooding in my basement. The flooding happens when any sink, shower, or toilet in the house is used. Today is also the day that I started my period. Without water. FML
Today, as I was putting some dishes away, I spilled water on the floor. While walking around the dishwasher, I slipped on said water, and after going to urgent care, found out I tore my meniscus. FML
Today, I returned to work after a restful week-long holiday. Before I left, I'd finished a huge assignment which is due this week. I walk in to find a water pipe has burst just above my desk, flooding our office with water and ruining my computer. Happy New Year to me. FML
Today, I came home from work to find my house was flooded from a broken pipe under the sink. My house had just recently had new wood floors, carpet and electrics installed because 6 months earlier my house had been flooded by the same pipe breaking. FML
Today, I went back to my flat after a night on the town and staying at my girlfriend's. My flat was flooded. I had been sick in the sink and left the tap on all night. FML
Today, I came home from my aunt's funeral to find my basement flooded due to a sewer backup. FML
Today, after a long shift, I came home and cleaned my house so I could relax tomorrow. I finished up the night with a soothing bubble bath, which was lovely until the ceiling collapsed into the tub. I can't even wash the filth off because my bath is full of drain-clogging plaster. FML
Today, after dealing with tons of drama and working a 14 hour shift, I took a shower. When I stepped out, a weak spot in the floor gave way. While falling through the floor I grabbed the toilet tank lid, which fell into the tank and broke it. Now my leg hurts and the bathroom's flooded. FML

Water way to dampen your spirits. This is definitely a plumber, OP.

Bad times OP but just call up the plumber and get your pipes checked out, that should cheer you up :)

That wouldn't cheer me up, plumbers are expensive.

The water damage to the apartment is probably expensive too. A half inch of water can do a lot more than most probably think. I've experienced it, and it definitely sucks...

ouch I hope there was not a lot of carpet :(

I bet op is whet with excitement at the thought of resuming normal activities now...

#21: Is that so? Usually I whet my appetite. I believe the word you were looking for was "wet". Make sure it doesn't' happen again. *sharpens knife using whetstone*
Pleonasm 35
What exactly about the word "doesn't" needed a second contraction?
Bakarra 22
I feel like if I was going to correct someone's typo (whet to wet for example), that I'd be incredibly cautious in my own grammar/spelling while doing so.
Bakarra 22
But I also apologize for my typo which led to the misuse of a word altogether.

I guess it's time for a plumber to clean your pipes but whatever you do don't hand him a glass of water.
Cintia07 7
She may want to give him that water, it's all part of the "resume normal activities." (The sex, not the sleeping with a random worker)

At least it wasn't from a backed up toilet.
3rdbass 9
Wouldn't that be some shit.
Pleonasm 35
When your toilet backs up, that's when you know the shit has hit the floor.

Don't let it drain your day away.... Go swimming and then clean everything up afterwards, especially since everything is going to need to be rewashed anyways

#18, it's not like you can rearrange your badges either. They just go in the order you earned them. So he's not "prominently displaying" it, it's just there.

Ydi for needing surgery.. Ydi for not properly checking the pipes before you left.. Ydi for leaving.. Ydi because I want the badge.. Ydi for not turning off your water before you left..

See if your insurance won't cover some, if not all of the damages OP.
