Today, my boyfriend told my roommate about a trick he had used by filling nail holes with toothpaste when he moved out. When I came home with putty to fill the holes, there were blue spots all over the walls. She had filled them with blue gel toothpaste. Now I get to repaint, too. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I came home to find that my girlfriend had repainted my bedroom. As she had offered to do it, it shouldn't have been a problem. However, she decided to return the several unopened cans of off-white paint that I'd bought for something "more neutral." Like "Sunset Orange." FML
Today, I finished painting my living room. I had to leave the house in a rush. When I got home, I found smears of paint all around and the carpet crusted with paint that had dried. My cat had rubbed up against the walls and tracked it around. FML
Today, I got home to the smell of permanent marker and the discovery that my roommate's little sister had drawn flower petals around every polka dot she could reach on my walls. I just put up the wallpaper last weekend. FML
Today, my boyfriend bought my favorite doughnuts for our anniversary. After settling down and pouring a glass of wine, I grabbed a doughnut and quickly realized the filling inside wasn't jelly. He thought it would be funny to replace it with toothpaste. FML
Today, I put a blue toilet cleaner square in the back of toilet. My fiancé called me later on freaking out because he couldn't get the "blue water to go away" when he flushed. FML
Today, I was moving out of my old place. While walking around to make sure I would get my damage deposit back, I stepped on my roommate's lipstick and smeared it all over the white carpet. Then I tripped on the phone cord and ripped the whole thing out of the wall. FML
Today, my boyfriend dumped me by writing a breakup note with permanent marker on my newly painted bedroom wall. FML
Today, I had guests over for a Christmas party. One of them wore new blue jeans and managed to get large dye stains on three different walls. They won't come off. Guess who has to paint his living room again. FML
Today, my boyfriend and roommate got into a fist fight over a magic trick. They ended up putting a huge hole in the wall that's going to be expensive to fix. We're renting my boss's house. FML
Today, I was quite happily glossing my new bathroom door, when my useless, alcoholic, housemate came rolling in, knocked the paint over, stood in it, and without realising, walked it all the way down the stairs. I had just had a brand new carpet fitted. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I don't know...maybe I'm just slow, but wouldn't you have had to repaint after using putty, anyway?

If they were moving out she wouldn't necessarily had to repaint. Most places don't make you. it's the landlords job to repaint (or have the place repainted) most of the time.

nah dude I used to do this when I lived in the dorms at college you're supposed to use the white toothpaste so it's no colored but if it is colored you just use whiteout over it.

#49: How is he a terrible boyfriend? He didn't TELL the idiot to use blue toothpaste. He simply let her know a common trick.

Today, I told my girlfriend's roommate that she could fix holes in the wall by using toothpaste. I meant for her to use the normal white kind. When I went over to visit my girlfriend, I noticed that her roommate had used some sort of blue gel toothpaste. FML

That sucks that they did that. but honestly, wouldn't it have been easier to spend $2 on some spackle and do it right?

or you could just make her wash/scrub the blue toothpaste off the wall and use the right stuff.

Omg people are so stupid. I just parted ways with an asinine flatmate, so I feel your pain. Whoever's had a flatmate that undoes everything you do will understand...
