Today, I moved into a new house. The landlord insists it's OK for her to come up whenever she wants because she owns the house. We aren't allowed to lock the doors and she has two 8-year-olds. They come into the bathroom every time they hear the shower running. We have a clear shower curtain. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I woke up to my step-mother taking a shower in my bathroom. Of course, this would be fine, if my bathroom wasn't connected to my room and closet, or that I live in an apartment in their back yard, built before she moved in. FML
Today, I found out that I bought a house next door to crazy people. She asked me if I would mind not showering when her husband is at home, because he can hear me and knowing I’m naked on the other side of the wall turns him on, which is a nuisance for her. He’s unemployed. He’s always at home, the creep. FML
Today, my girlfriend and I decided to sneak into the shower at her house while her parents went out to eat and a movie. Half way through our shower we heard a knocking at the door, it was her mom. We had left all of our clothes downstairs. Safe to say I won't be allowed there any more. FML
Today, I finally found a place to stay after being kicked out by my parents. The psycho owner waited till now to tell me that my bathroom door will remain locked at all times, and that whenever I want to go in there, I have to ask him to unlock it, then do my business while he waits outside. FML
Today, I learned it's not safe to take a bath if my aunt is staying over, because apparently she was never taught the "Knock before you enter" rule if the bathroom door is closed. FML
Today, sick of the unfiltered noise we hear from our neighbours in our upstairs apartment, as we're above their fence line, we signed the lease on an apartment downstairs. While I was downstairs, my partner clomped upstairs, opened the bathroom door, and took a piss. I heard EVERYTHING. FML
Today, I realized that my 14 year-old runs my home. She has her own room, while her 11 year-old sister and I (her mother) share a room. I literally have to get her permission to go anywhere as well. FML
Today, I moved into my new apartment. My neighbor is apparently crazy and thinks I'm trying to 'steal' her husband. She watches me and is super paranoid. I have a two year lease. FML
Today, after taking a shower, I realised that my landlord was peeking in the whole time through broken ventilator. Once he tried to get into my room, using his keys. I couldn't tell the landlord's wife, as I didn't have any proof so I left the house, even though my rent was long due. FML
Today, while I was sitting on the toilet, my toddler swung the door open. We just bought the house, and we have no curtains. Our new neighbor, who I haven't met, was mowing her yard. I stood half-naked to close the door, and our eyes met. I froze. She waved. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

No. No it's not okay. If I'm not mistaken that's illegal for her to do.

Put a chair in front of the door. That will keep them out. It's not a lock...

That's illegal. Period. And no, you shouldn't have to change your shower curtain. It's called privacy! If you're paying rent then you have a right to lock the door(s) in order to feel safe in your home. Tell this control freak that if she wants her rent money you must establish a few boundaries beginning with her brats.

invasion of privacy much?

Not allowed to lock the door? Have you a contract? It's not legal that situation

Start calling the police to report "unknown intruders" in the house when your landlord walks in unannounced for no reason. Be sure to tell the 911 operator how scared you are, and how you are hiding in your bedroom. Cops will show up guns drawn. As for brats walking in on your showers - pepper spray will solve that. Tell the cops you were in the shower, and the unknown intruders (you could not see - you were in the shower) scared you. Fearing for your safety, you pulled back the curtains and sprayed whoever was there. Practice your story a few times so you can tell it without laughing. The landlord will get the idea. Then look for a new place to live, once your lease is up rent will increase.

No matter WHAT's in the contract, the LAW's still the law, and you CANNOT put something ILLEGAL in a "contract" to "make" it "legal": it STILL and nevertheless IS illegal! It's her property, right, but she LEASED it to you: the right to USE this property - and YOU have the right to PRIVACY in your leased house/flat!

All of you making comments about getting a new shower curtain are IDIOTS!!! The frigging shower curtain is NOT the problem here. The kids seeing her naked, and walking into her home is, it can get her into trouble as well as the landlord. This unstable woman has opened a whole can of trouble with these kids putting this person in this situation. Where talking molestation charges, for or against her! HOW CAN YOU IDIOTS NOT SEE THIS???
