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.

OP I know you wanted an indoor pool, but clearly this is a better idea!

How is that even rellevant?
3rdbass 9
Because that's not even a real word.
xeka 10
You should probably attend AND pay attention in High School :/

Please tell us, which class taught you that "rellevant" is a word?
xeka 10
relevant[ rel-uh-vuhnt ] adjective 1. bearing upon or connected with the matter in hand; pertinent: a relevant remark. ...I'm dealing with dumbasses :(
SomeRandomGuy15 18
Ok, see, you misspelled 'relevant' as "rellevant" in your original comment... That's what 31 and I were getting at. >_>
xeka 10
...You must have a lot going on in life to just sit on here and spell check. Lol, because 'trolls' become successful at what they do.. Should have read the sign: 'Don't feed the animals'.. :/

Xeka - It isn't our fault that you misspelled something, failed to notice it, and then failed to notice it again after it was pointed out twice. Who's the dumbass here?
xeka 10
I did notice. I just get this thing where i don't give many ***** about people with no lives that go about spell checking everyone. :b you people really have nothing better to do? Lol fun.

Normal activity is swimming in your apartment due to washing machine problems? Sounds interesting to say the least! G'luck, OP!

Ok why has nobody asked what the "post op" was for?!???!
SomeRandomGuy15 18
24- You mean "rellevant". Clearly, you should attend and pay more attention in high school.

49 - Maybe they were going for "real event" as opposed to the fake word and bad insult?
morella_xx 29
He's making a joke about #13's comment and subsequent tantrum upon being corrected.
morella_xx 29
...which had apparently been deleted. So, as you were.

Ugh, I've had that happen too, OP. we had to pry up the carpet and run industrial-strength fans for 4 days to get it all dried out, but thankfully there was no lasting water damage. Hopefully you're lucky on that front!

When it rains, it pours...or overflows, rather. I'm sorry OP! Hopefully this is all your terrible shit for the year and it'll be smooth sailing after this.

But normally if an apartment gets flooded because of a washer doesn't the landlord have to fix the issue? At least, at my apartment that would be the case..

So, how much longer will it be until you can resume abnormal activities like apartment drying? I'm assuming that coming home to an indoor pond is not an everyday occurrence for you. You should probably hire pros with high-powered Shop-Vacs to clean up for you. Yeah, it'll cost more and everyone will think you're lazy, but at least you have you health problem as an excuse.

That's unfortunate! I hope there isn't too much permanent damage.

I had that happen to me. I was living in a town home, and the washer and dryer was just off from the kitchen. I was living with two roommates, one who was my ex-boyfriend and his younger brother, and they both fancied themselves as the patriarchs above me, even though I work 40 hours a week and contributed at least $200 more to the bills than the younger brother did who was lucky to get anything more than 24 hours at minimum wage and did nothing all day but CoD and other video games... Long story short, they were home when it happened, so they knew about it, didn't do shit about it, and right after having coming late at night from a long day, my ex-boyfriend told ME to ******* clean it up. That and among many other reasons, is why I decided to give my piece of shit of an ex-boyfriend the middle finger and moved out.
