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
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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.

How convenient you didn't tell us how the window got busted. Most likely, YDI.

Um... do you have friends living in a single or in an apartment on campus? Ask them if you could sleep there for a few days. Maintenance on campus is a ******* joke. I'm surprised they're actually doing something about it.

That sucks, OP. I hope you don't die of hypothermia or something.

Start an Ice bar in your room. All you need is vodka and a few goodwill fur coats. Step your game up.

Think positive. You can now store your beer outside the refrigerator.

find someone to warn you up

So instead of demanding they do a temporary fix until they've got time to work on it appropriately or wait for whatever parts they need to fix it, you've chosen to simply lie around watching your own breath and complain on the internet? Make them give you a space heater and at least close the gap, or go to any store and spend $5 on plastic sheeting and duct tape. Find someone else to stay with. There are options here. You're not a child anymore. If you don't assert yourself, no one is going to do anything for you.
