Today, my tiny apartment flooded. My family lives out of state and the few friends I have all gave me B.S. excuses for why I can't stay over for a few nights. I'm so broke this month that I'll probably have to hit up my psycho ex. 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, my newly ex-fiancé, the father of my 5-year-old child, moved out of state with no warning. I just spent my last $500 paying off his car, and the rent is due tomorrow. FML
Today, I spent my remaining cash on a doctor's visit, only to find out that at the age of 22, I'm getting major health problems brought on by stress. I came home to relax, only to find out my roommate can't pay his rent, and needs me to cover for him so we don't get evicted. FML
Today, I woke up to a flooded apartment. Apparently, the upstairs neighbor's bathtub had overflowed and water was pouring through my ceiling. My landlord said he couldn't do anything until the water stopped, so I spent the morning frantically trying to mop up the water while feeling completely helpless. FML
Today, my roommate wants to kick me out because I can't afford to pay my share of the rent this month. I couldn't afford to, because I had to pay for repairs to my car after my roommate got drunk, stole my keys, and crashed it into a street light. FML
Today, my friend informed me that I’m not moving in with him anymore, and that his sister is taking my place. Unfortunately, I'd finally gathered the money and a car to move out of state with him. Just when I thought I was going to get away from this hellhole, I’m sinking further into never leaving. FML
Today, I have Covid, caught during a work trip I didn't want to go on, AND my apartment has flooded for the third time since Thanksgiving. My landlord seems to have no intention of fixing the issue. FML
Today, I'm so broke, I resorted to breaking into my old apartment complex to do my laundry in the basement for free. FML
Today, I told my parents I no longer believe in the religion they strictly raised me under. They responded by kicking me out of the house. I'm broke, jobless, and the only person that will take me in is my psycho ex-girlfriend who never got over me. FML
Today, my roommate forgot to pay the water bill on time, so they shut it off. Now we're without running water for 3 days and I'm taking my morning dump in Target next to a stranger. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

If you live in an apartment that you're renting, the management company is responsible for providing you with a place to stay while your apt is unlivable.

Sounds better than sharing a bed with a psycho ex

Tough situation. Maybe try and rough it out if possible? If not, you gotta do what you gotta do.

Could you ask your family to transfer you some money? If your ex is really crazy I wouldn't do it

Don't be too alarmed if you find equipment for flooding an apartment at their place.

Actually not true. Only if they have renters insurance which is not required

no, #41 I lived in a place where the roofers were replacing the roof after a bad hail storm and it started raining so they put layers of something that was clearly not water proof. the ceiling fell in on my boyfriend while he was sleeping and a ton of the stuff in our room was covered in itchy scratchy insulation. Our landlord paid for a suite for us for 3 days, and we didn't have renters insurance. if the apartment you're paying for is not liveable then they have to find a place for you to stay.

Not always true. I know a lady who was just in a hotel for two weeks while her apartment was being renovated after being bought by a new owner. Per the terms of the purchase, all renters were suppose to leave for renovation then sign a new lease with the new owner. She didn't have a place to stay or any cash to go to a hotel and the new owner put her up in a hotel. Had he not of been a nice guy, she would have been s*** out of luck. She didn't have a lease with the previous owner (slum lord) and could have been told to hit the highway at any time. It all depends on your lease and the terms it includes. You need a clause for stuff like repairs out of your control.

Unfortunately, though they are responsible to cover the expense, it is usually in the form of a reimbursement. I don't believe OP is holding a credit card if they're really considering the psycho ex.

Using the app. Couldn't tell the gender.
soulreaper12296 28
You can see their gender on the app #52.
SixthSinEnvy 39
No, you can't. Obviously you haven't seen all the complaints about it lately. Android users can't see it on the app.

61 - I'm on android and i can definitely see gender.
SixthSinEnvy 39
Where do you see it because all I see is blank space next to Anonymous? I only see the gender of replies.
