Today, I got home from work, and saw a note on the counter my roomate left saying "Sorry about the basement." I then went into the basement, and found that it was flooded. My TV, Xbox360, mini-fridge, and couch were all destroyed. Good thing he tried to stop the leak with scotch tape. FML

Today, I came home from my aunt's funeral to find my basement flooded due to a sewer backup. FML
Today, I came home to find my home had been broken into. Nothing was taken, but all the drains were plugged and the water left blasting on high, with a note that said “enjoy the mess”. FML
Today, I awoke to find a water pipe burst. I frantically ran down to the basement to turn off the water to the house. What I didn't expect when I reached the bottom of the stairs was to have to start dodging the falling, wet ceiling tiles. FML
Today, I woke up to a flooded apartment. Apparently, the upstairs neighbor's bathtub had overflowed and water was pouring through my ceiling. My landlord said he couldn't do anything until the water stopped, so I spent the morning frantically trying to mop up the water while feeling completely helpless. FML
Today, I rushed home after my mom called saying our upstairs had flooded. Apparently, my little brother somehow broke the toilet while unsupervised and water overflowed everywhere. It even reached my closet, shoes, and books, and everything touching my floor in my room is now wet. FML
Today, I came home to find water dripping from the ceiling in my apartment laundry room/pantry. All of my groceries were ruined. Maintenance's suggestion? "Put a bucket under it." FML
Today, I woke up to my living room covered in 8 cm of water. My $2k computer was on that floor. FML
Today, I noticed that my ceiling was sagging slightly. I got up on to a chair to look at it more closely, and I touched it. Turns out that my ceiling was full of water. It went everywhere, ruining my new iPod, phone, and all the things my daughter bought for university. FML
Today, I overloaded the washing machine and it flooded the downstairs. The flooring will have to be scrapped and drywall replaced. It's 100% my fault. Did I mention this is not my house? FML
Today, the maintenance man 'fixed' a leak in my apartment by flooding the place. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thank you, your FML was submitted, and will appear the moderation soon!

Then the water will wash away the evidence when you murder him and throw him down there.

TLI, Too little information. Was the leak the roommate's fault? Because I don't know that, I'm not hatin' the roommate enough to sink my teeth into this one. Yes, Intox, they are all mine and they're real and they're magnificent!

WHOO! I got mentioned in a comment. Too bad you can't say the same for your hair and erection, old man. Kidding, kidding. :)

I'm with plex on this one. For all we know it wasn't the roommates fault one bit. Hell, it might even be the OP's fault.

YDI for having a 360 & no I'm not a troll :P

wellll....saying YDI just because the OP owns an Xbox pretty much makes you a troll...at least on this comment you are, anyway.

And you're a troll feeder. Why you gotta do that? It reflects poorly on you, ya know.

I was just commenting (calmly). Feeding would be if I got mad and started saying he was SOOO DUMB!!!!!!!! or whatever for saying YDI for that reason or if I'd started arguing over what game console is best. I was merely informing this commenter that, although he/she claimed not to be a troll, he/she, in fact, is one.

You dont keep things like that in a basement -.-

Uh, some people use the basement as a bedroom or an activity room.

I do! My room, a bathroom, and the den are all in the basement. Not his fault if part of his house is underground. If it was a flood due to burst pipes, it could've happened anywhere in the house.

Look at the bright side! You don't have a 360 anymore! Now you can get a good video game console instead of that trash!
