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.

I sympathize, but having worked for a college maintenance team while I was in school, I can tell you that they have a pile of work orders that's at least a foot high. Clearly they got a lot of them before they got yours and that's why you're waiting. You'd be amazed (or maybe you wouldn't) at the number of things that get broken on a college campus.

if you can't sleep with your eyes closed, may I suggest not breathing? that way you wont have to look at it while you're sleeping

if you can't manage sleeping with your eyes closed, may I suggest not breathing? at least then you won't have to see your breathe while you sleep

You're in college. Go sleep in someone elses dorm.

I think there might be a good reason why OP doesn't mention why the window is broken..

That's not your breath. You're seeing dead people, and it means you're next.

What did your window get busted for? Drugs? Sex crimes? Second degree murder? Don't leave me hanging here.

When you say your window 'got busted' do you mean you busted it while messing around? A couple of days won't hurt you.
