Today, I finally felt well enough to take an actual shower after having surgery on my back. It took five minutes to stand up, ten minutes to get to the shower, and another ten minutes to get in. The pilot light went out in less than five minutes. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I took my first shower in weeks after having had spinal surgery. My sister flushed a toilet. I couldn't reach the nozzle or my cane to get off the shower bench, and all I could do was sit there as scalding hot water sprayed all over me. FML
Today, I got home late after a long day at work and all I wanted to do was take a shower and go to bed. As soon as the water in the shower was hot, I got in. One minute, I was standing and the next I was fast asleep at the bottom of the tub. I woke up with my face swollen and my shoulder bruised. FML
Today, I was finally able to get up and take a shit after being bedridden due to my knee surgery. I had diarrhea and because I can't properly bend my knee, I can't wipe my butt. FML
Today, I am recovering from surgery, so even though my mom could burn cold water, I was forced to let her cook for me. Thanks to her cooking, I’ve now shit my body weight in brown water, and I need her help to get on the toilet. She doesn’t always get me there in time. FML
Today, I had a planned 12-hour power cut for maintenance work, which I'd forgot all about. In need of a shower before work, I spent 45 minutes boiling pots of water on the stove to take a lukewarm, 6-inch deep bath, before realizing my water heater runs on natural gas and was working fine. FML
Today, I went for my daily post-op doctor's appointment, where I was told I can resume normal activities. Which was handy when I came home to half-an-inch of water throughout my apartment, due to my washing machine drainage pipe coming undone while I was gone. FML
Today, after having a pretty rough day, I decided a nice, hot shower would be great. Ten minutes in, the shower head apparently couldn't take the water pressure anymore, and it flew off and hit me in the face. FML
Today, I just had knee surgery which has put me on crutches for 6 weeks. I fell on my ass after washing my hands after using the bathroom. Ashamed, my boyfriend and father had to pick me up. I destroyed the towel rack, ripping it of the wall. All this pain is now potentially for nothing. It's day 4 post operation. FML
Today, I burned my butt on the heater when I tried to warm up after my shower. FML
Today, I was taking a shower for the first time in my new apartment. The shower head broke off the wall and slammed onto my head, while spraying water everywhere. I tried to stop the water, but only stopped the cold and got burnt by the hot. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

isn't it a light that tells you when your hot water is out? I'm just guessing. Look at OP's name.

The pilot light is a small burner in a water heater and theirs went out make the water cold

My brother had scoliosis and also had to get back surgery. He was also pretty helpless. FYL. Don't you have anyone to take care of you? :(

I have that but the doctors say that it's mild

Did you jump reflexively when the water went cold? That would've really sucked. As it is, cold water can't have felt nice on your sore back. At least you moved around a bit and had five minutes worth of shower. FYL

Well shit, notagoodayforme, since you're unable to get it into your head that FMyLife isn't a dating service, you'll now be taking an all expenses paid vacation from polluting our site's comments section with your pre-pubescent letching. Way to live up to your username, son.

He is still writing this FML. You must have psychic powers to be reading this already.
mea_iloveskiing 26
Or OP started writing this fml two years ago :)
wryguy2765 8
He probably wrote this after that because fml requires that your post start with today,

Sucks that you're having a bad day, but I'm confused too. Did all the water in the tank spontaneously go cold when the pilot light went out?
