Today, my neighbors were busted for a meth lab in their garage. Yesterday, I signed the mortgage. Welcome to our new neighborhood, kids. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, the couple who had written the offer we had accepted for our house withdrew it because apparently when they came by for the home inspection, my next door neighbor's teenage son tried to sell them heroin. FML
Today, I met my new neighbors. The first thing they did was build a fence. FML
Today, I found out the friend I signed a lease with is actually a wanted drug dealer. I only found this out after the police kicked in the door at 5am and raided our house. FML
Today, my next-door neighbor decided to become a rapper. FML
Today, my new neighbor broke into our new house because his key didn't work. We just closed on the house this week and changed the locks when footprints were found in the bathtub after the cleaning crew went through. FML
Today, my new neighbors moved in across the street. Also today, they began to park at the end of my driveway. Not used to a car being there, I backed out and promptly hit it. Welcome to the neighborhood. FML
Today, I got home and noticed people were looking at my next-door neighbor's house that's for rent. Peering closer, I realized my ex-boyfriend and the girl he cheated on me with a few months ago were inside. After they left, the "For Rent" sign came down. I've got new neighbors. FML
Today, my in-laws moved in. FML
Today, I moved into my new house. The previous occupants failed to tell me that they'd recently kicked out their crazy crackhead son, who seems to think they've paid me to pretend that they've moved out and that I'm the new owner. He wants back in. FML
Today, the neighbors' kid got a new airhorn. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Just because there is one meth lab in the neighborhood doesn't mean the entire neighborhood is full of druggies. You'd be surprised to know how many nice neighborhoods have drug houses in them that no one knew about. At least the police are on top of it.

Damn. That would have been one interesting "welcome" gift from your neighbour. ;-)

could be worse, i read a story a few days ago about a family that moved into a house that used to be a meth house, apparently there's nothing requiring the buyer to be TOLD such a thing...and the family suffered all kinds of health problems due to the chemicals absorbed into everything...it said it would cost them around 30 grand to have it all cleaned out. so while that is scary, at least it wasn't your house?

What country was this in? In the USA, I can think of all sorts of laws that would apply that would require such events to be legally disclosed to the buyer -- property history, legal history, environmental conditions, etc. Meth production is a known hazard. Legally speaking, the prior owner is on the hook for that cleanup -- even if they were not the producers.

The same thing happened to a friend of mine last week - he lives in a multi million dollar building in the middle of the city and 2 doors down a meth lab exploded. His whole building was shut down as it started a massive fire... Stupid drug producers!

***To the original FMLer*** I highly suggest that you listen to the following podcast. http://www.onpointradio.org/2009/07/meth-in-america . I heard it a couple of weeks ago and it talks about the whole meth problem, but more importantly during certain segments it talks about the hazards of having meth labs in homes. I'm not sure if these hazards would extend to your house, but you may want to research this and see the potential harms.

Meth is bad. People getting arrested for drugs is worse.

Hey, look at it as a good thing. "Today, I moved in next door to a house that used to be a meth lab. FML" is way preferable to "Today, I moved in next door to a house that is CURRENTLY a meth lab. FML" Am I right?

OP: Sucks. FYL. Somewhat similar occurrence right across the street from me this morning. I don't know the details of what happened, but I woke up to a couple of muffled pops outside (distinct gunfire). Local PD finally came down on the druggies across the street. THANK GOD. Always hated going out at night and seein' those dolts hanging around all over the place.
