Today, I was asked by my live-in landlord not to put too much water in the kettle because it made the utility bills too high. This is the same woman who takes daily baths. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I went downstairs to complain to my landlady that there was no water when I was trying to wash my hair. To which she replied, "No, of course there is water, it's just all going into my swimming pool." FML
Today, my mother told me to take a quick shower. When I got out, she told me I took too long, and now I have to pay the utilities bill. My shower was two minutes long. FML
Today, my boyfriend pointed out that the water bill is getting kind of high. I suggested that we shower together to save water. He said he'd rather deal with the high water bill. FML
Today, I confronted my 18-year-old daughter about her excessively lengthy showers. She said she didn't see the big deal, considering the water "comes free with the house." No dear, it doesn't. FML
Today, I was complaining to my boyfriend about our excessive water bill. He then says, "Don't look at me, I don't even shower." FML
Today, I found out my landlord is too cheap to turn up the hot water tank enough to have a comfortable shower. There's a huge padlock on the door, she won't budge, and I'm signed in until December. FML
Today, the city shut off the water at my house because my roommate thought that the water bills he had been hoarding were "suggestions." FML
Today, I came home to a flooded apartment and water still pouring from the ceiling. The woman who lives above me is shocked that I would consider her responsible for the damage and doesn't think she should have to pay for it. FML
Today, I work cleaning houses and a customer submitted a complaint about me to my boss, because he didn’t expect me to use his water from his taps, running up his water bill, which he saw as unfair. What was I supposed to do, bring a water tank with me on my back? Prick. FML
Today, my roommate bitched me out over my "OCD" driving the water bill up. She takes hour-long showers, but apparently me flushing after peeing "wasteful" and a sign of a neurological disorder. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

You guys realise that a bath uses a hell of a lot more water than a shower, or say a wash using a filled basin, right? I'm pretty sure that was what OP was getting at.

Your pretty ******* stupid mate if you think a bath takes up more water than a shower

hey Einstein, I've an experiment for you. go to your bathtub, plug the drain, and turn the tap on full for 2 minutes. mark off where the water level was. drain tub, plug the drain again, and this time turn on the shower for 2 minutes. compare. if you still think you're wasting water...go flush the toilet and see how many gallons you've just wasted.

Reading FML today made me realise there is a difference in taking a bath and taking a shower. Coming from a hot county, I have always thought they're the same.

I don't understand how many morons are here saying showers use more water! Have you never put the plug in whilst you've had a shower to see how much the tub filled up? Unless you're in there for like an hour or whatever, it's not going to be anywhere near as full...

#81, I wish I could fave comments. I was literally about to say this myself. Showers use WAY less water than baths do. And I can prove it. My tub's drain isn't working properly, so it drains much slower than normal. (I haven't gotten around to fixing it yet because I have other things on my mind.) When I take a shower, the water pools around my feet and doesn't get much higher than my ankles. A bath, on the other hand, can go up halfway up the tub or more. Figure it out, people. Showers use less time AND water. Baths are a luxury, not a daily necessity.

So its unusual to take a daily bath?

Just nuke your cup of tea., or fill your kettle from the bathroom tap... apparently it uses "less" water.

Baths use less water than showers (of course this depends on how much time you spend in the shower)

Just curious to know... Don't you take bath daily?

Um its hygienic two have a bath every day

I don't understand this. Do people not have a bath daily? Is it rare for you guys to have a bath? I have a bath every night apart from maybe once a fortnight when I use the shower instead. It's not seen as a luxury like you're making it sound. Really not understanding here
