Today, I was at my grandparents' house, when the power went out. Even though we were supplied with candles and flashlights, we still had to stumble around in the darkness. They'd left both the candles and flashlights in the pitch black, unnavigable basement. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my power went out due to a huge snow storm. I was in desperate need of candles and flashlights. I had to walk to the store since the roads were closed. I walked 4 miles in the blizzard. When I got home, the power came back on. FML
Today, after a power outage at my house, my 14-year-old brother was genuinely confused as to why our flashlights still worked if we had no electricity. FML
Today, I was the last to go upstairs, so I had to turn off the lights. My tired brain decided to use my phone flashlight to check if all the lights were out. FML
Today, I woke up to find my power was out. After taking a shower in the dark and being unable to make myself lunch, my power came on two minutes before I had to leave for school. FML
Today, I was in the shops and the lights all of a sudden went out. I got really scared for no reason because it was pitch black and grabbed onto my mum's hand. When the light's got turned on I was holding on to a random guy's hand. FML
Today, the power went out in my area. My wife and I were bored so I lit some candles, poured some wine, and left little to her imagination about what my intent was. We cuddled a while and as I leaned in for a kiss the power came back on. She was more excited that the WiFi was back than anything. FML
Today, there was a power outage at my apartment. I ended up deciding that the power wasn't going to come on any time soon, and that I should go to a hotel for the night. Just after I unpacked at the hotel, my neighbor called to say the power had come back. FML
Today, while cleaning up, I dropped a box of thumbtacks, spilling them all over the floor. As I fumbled to pick them up, the power went out. FML
Today, I was using a public restroom when the lights suddenly turned off. Panicking, I waved my arms around, trying to trigger the motion sensor, but nothing happened. I had to finish in the dark, and as I was leaving, the janitor noticed me, turned the lights back on, and said, “Yeah, I turned those off earlier to save power. Hope you were OK in there.” FML
Today, the power went out. Thankfully, it was early in the morning so I should've been able to sleep through it. Then I realized I have an impossible time sleeping during power outages. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

No joke - like this is somehow so devastating that it has to be posted and everyone's supposed to feel sorry for her.

#43. Note that it says she 'was' at her grandparent's house. This implies that OP has since left and gone to a place where there is power...

I like how people don't look at what is already posted. I truly do.

lol that sucks.... but at least the fml didnt go this way: Today, I was at my grandparents' house, when the power went out. Even though we were supplied with candles and flashlights, we still had to stumble around in the darkness. When I was trying to reach the door handle I instead reached something that felt like a pruny sandbag. I'm seriously considering suicide. FML

Maybe OP doesn't have a phone or ipod. My sister is 26 is still and doesn't have a phone... I still don't know how she can survive :O
Takuya272727 16
Because she WAS there, and FML is also on a website too. Not everyone has a phone.
jillianmathers12 13
If your old enough to have a FML your old enough to have a phone or at least a iPod touch!

You know u need wifi to make a call from an ipod
MrCatman1125 2
108 maybe she doesn't want a phone. Or can't afford one. Or isn't allowed. Or had one and it died. Or had one but left it somewhere else. Or is getting one.

I believe the word you're looking for is "they're". As in, "they are".

Why not use your cellphone light to guide you? I mean in this century if you don't have a cell then you fail at life!

Use your phone as a flashlight instead of being on FML?
crazychick1269 7
haha your soo right!!!
cheeturtle 0
If you read it right, it said I "was" at my grandparents' house.
Cazzybum 11
Even so, it's likely OP had their phone on them while at grandparents. I don't go anywhere without mine.
Runninvegan 8
Very true but the way the OP wrote it it sounds like they were to stupid to use there phone as a flashlight so your comment is invalid good sir
