Today, my window got busted and won't shut properly. I live in a college dorm room and maintenance says they can't fix it for a couple of days. It's below freezing in my dorm and I can see my breath while trying sleep. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my upstairs neighbor's pipe burst because they forgot to close their porch door and, well, Wisconsin winter. My apartment is flooded and I'm spending my little money on a hotel. I think I'm homeless. FML
Today, the elevator broke in my dorm and won't be fixed for several days. I live on the 26th floor. 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, 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 was locked out of my house. After hours of trying to break the door, I found out I accidentally left a window open. The door, however, still needs to be replaced. FML
Today, I used my rear windsheild wiper and it shattered a large hole in the glass where the rotating part is. No one can repair the window until tomorrow afternoon. It's snowing. FML
Today, the lack of heating in my room has gotten to the point where I have to cuddle my clothes for the next day at night so they're not freezing when I wake up. FML
Today, my heating broke. It's 22 degrees outside, and my father won't let us call someone to fix it because apparently the cold helps the soul grow. FML
Today, at work, it was so windy that it started taking the door off its hinges. The door now won't close all the way. I can't leave until someone comes to fix it. FML
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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

that's because you're trying to sleep wrong. close your eyes when you sleep.

1. Kill everyone from maintenance. 2. Skin them and sew them into a warm blanket. Problem solved.

Duck tape ought to fix it.
sourgirl101 29
I think it's spelt "duct" tape but pronounced "duck". I could be wrong. Any who! Hell ya! Duct tape fixes everything! I even use it to hem up my pants when I'm too busy to take them to the tailors.(:

Duck tape's the brand name stuff. That's how you know you're preforming high quality maintenance work.
sourgirl101 29
Oh, I thought it was called that because it's water proof, just like a duck's ass.(:

sounds like y'all are from the middle east. here in Oklahoma duct literally fixes everything haha

I like to think of it as Duck tape more than duct tape anyway since it's a bad idea (and probably illegal) to use it on ductwork. Just seems like a bit of a misnomer.

And you think it's better to use it on ducks? Is that how they keep that perfect V formation?

lmao 70 is right. Breezy, stand up, place your legs shoulder width apart and jump up and down. That shouldddddd get the sand out of your vag.

The duct tape/duck tape argument is one of those great unsolvable ones. You can read all about it on Wikipedia (notably under 'Duct tape') if you a) care, and b) have no life. Personally, I think duct tape is right...

lay under every blanket you can get your hands on.

That is poor service. But, get yourself a snuggie :)

Call the administration and say I want this done TODAY or I'll be looking in to levying penalties under the landlord/tennets act (look up your states variant of this wording). Chances are the maintainence people are just lazy unionist who think they can just ignore you, legit leagal posturing works in such a situation.

Drink til you're not aware it's cold, like a normal college student. then you'll pass out for 5-6 hours and wake up refreshed. repeat until the window is fixed.

Stop whining and go buy some plastic to put over the hole until they can fix it...
RedPillSucks 33
Exactly. Kids now a'days...

I can't believe we had to get to comment #22 before someone suggested putting something over the gap.

technically #13 but still too long.

call them and tell them to come over and fix the window immediately or call the deans office and demand that you be placed in a rm that has heat. College dorm rooms aren't cheap! you have paid to stay there and deserve not to have to see your breath as you are trying to sleep!

Or just grow a pair, I live in northern Canada, seeing your breathe as you sleep is nothing
DocBastard 40
That's fine, but maybe OP lives in California and isn't nearly as hale and hearty as you awesomely awesome Canadians. I can tolerate the sight of blood and guts, but other people pass out at even the thought. Don't be a jackass and think you're better than someone just because you grew up on the frozen tundra.

Yeah cause canada's a frozen tundra, jackass
