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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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?

next time she asks you to stop, say you're boiling water to take baths the old fashioned way

The worst roommate I ever had would take a bubble bath every night before she went to bed. It wasn't her daily bathing either, she would take a 30 minute shower every morning. Our utility bills would be sky high every month because of that and her doing other things like leaving lights, the tv, etc. on all the time. As a broke ass college student, her racking up ridiculously expensive utility bills and then expecting me to split them 50/50 drove me nuts. I'm just glad my landlord was a cool guy that let me figure out how much I owed for the utilities I actually used and pay him separately. He also let me out of my lease early when her drug dealing boyfriend moved in illegally. The landlord sued hee and she recently had to pay him about $13,000

Who doesn't shower or bathe daily? You deserve it because that's gross if you don't Nate daily.

I reuse kettle water. If I don't use the whole thing the first time I boil it the next day. Why on earth would I pour it out? Come on.

Do you live in a rural village in the 1800s

It's her building if she wants to take a bath let her ... It's considered hygienic to bathe every day you know

Seriously? You people are agreeing with the OP? Daily baths are a necessity. Fill your kettle half way and go take a shower/bath. Just because you don't smell yourself doesn't mean others don't.

I sweat easily so it's not uncommon for me to shower 2-3 times a day. For all you arguing about whether a bath or shower takes more water - it depends on how long a shower you take. Some will use more with one, some the other.

she might need a couple bars to hold on there
