Today, I wanted to take a nap after cleaning my apartment, so I put the trash outside the front door and put a note on the door for my roommate, saying, "Please take the trash out when you leave for work." When I woke up, the note was gone but the trash was still there. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I came home and saw my roommate had taken out the garbage for the first time in the three years we have lived in the same house. Unfortunately, the bag of laundry I had by the door was taken out with it as well. FML
Today, as I was taking out the trash, I spotted my cute neighbor doing the same. In a rush to get out before he went back inside, I slipped on my iced-over porch. I passed out and woke up with a note on my chest saying, "I unlocked your door but you were too heavy to drag inside". FML
Today, my mother noticed that I hadn't taken the trash out in a few weeks and angry, piled various full trash bags on my bed. I've been away on holiday for the past three weeks, I guess she didn't notice that part. FML
Today, on my lunch break, I ran to the gas station, and threw some trash away on my way in. On my way out, I realized my keys were missing. Thinking I threw them away, and fearing that I'd be late returning to work, I tore through the disgusting trash only to find my keys on the seat of my car. FML
Today, I opened my blinds to see the front yard littered with trash. My neighbor's cat ripped our trash bags open and smeared them all over the lawn. Since it was my turn to take out the trash this week, my family decided I would be the one cleaning up too. FML
Today, the cleaning lady left a note that said my room was too dirty to clean. FML
Today, I wanted to surprise my roommate by cleaning the entire apartment while she was away. Three hours later, everything looked perfect. She came home, looked around, and immediately asked why her plant was missing. I had thrown it out because I thought it was dead. FML
Today, after my dad insisted that the trash go out last night, even though I always take it out in the morning because of the stray dog problem in our neighborhood, I took it anyway to appease him. He woke me up banging on my door and screaming because the strays had thrown the trash all over the road in the night, and he blames me. FML
Today, I discovered that my old roommate had left a full bag of cat litter on my porch and all over my yard. FML
Today, my ex-roommate, who decided to move out when my other roommate and I told her we didn't want a giant dresser for her dogs' clothes and stuff in the dining room, took the door knob out of the door to her former bedroom and threw some of my things in the recycling bin. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Next time if you want to take the trash out just carry your roommate out yourself

Maybe the person was the trash so he/she took itself out

Maybe it was a busy day for them and they were just scatterbrained? Hopefully your roommate isn't this bad all the time.

Vengeance will only make things worst and it doesn't solve anything

Wow...You wanted your roommate to take out the trash on their way to work. While you were napping. And then you post about it on Fml? I can't even deal with people like this. Laziness.

If you feel your roommate isn't doing their share, you talk about it, set mutually-agreed-upon expectations. You don't just leave a note telling them what to do and when and then get annoyed when they don't do it. I tend to do most of the more intensive cleaning in my place (apparently most people don't feel the need to scrub the bathroom and kitchen floors regularly?) so I'm not a lazy roommate, but if someone just left me a note telling me what to do and then went to sleep I'd be pretty pissed.

He/she said they cleaned the whole apartment, the least their roommate could do is take out the trash

OP took a nap after cleaning the freaking apartment. It's not totally unreasonable, after cleaning the apartment, to ask your roomie take out the trash. If the roomie is in a hurry or something, s/he could have responded, sorry, busy, can't do it.
