Today, I caught three kids setting fire to a bush. After chasing them off, I parked my bike by a house and went to get water. After I'd put the fire out, I walked back to my bike just in time to see the kids running off with it. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I had to babysit two kids. It all went well until one of them duct taped a knife to a toy machine gun, lit the barbecue on fire, and ran around like a wild banshee screaming obscenities. The other one got scared and climbed onto the roof of the house. FML
Today, I put out a fire. Sadly, it was on my doorstep because someone had lit a bag of dog poop. FML
Today, I was chased on my bike by a couple of guys in a car. I rode into a public park to cut through and try to lose them. I looked by to check if they were following me, but they had to stop. I laughed, looked forward, and rammed into a little girl. FML
Today, I got home to three boys riding bikes out in front of my house, smiling at me. I instantly thought they were checking me out, so I smiled sweetly at them. Turns out they were flaunting the fact that they just stole all 3 of our bikes. FML
Today, I was smoking a cigarette in my backyard while my parents were out, because I'm not allowed to smoke. While smoking, my parents came home unexpectedly. In a rush, I flicked it over the fence, and it landed in my neighbor's hair. It was still lit. FML
Today, a neighbor called the cops on me and my friends because we were "starting a fire" in the backyard. We were using a barbecue. FML
Today, some idiots set off fireworks close to my house. I was a bit worried, but my uncle assured me it would be fine and left to run an errand. Just minutes later, I looked up to find the tree right next to my wooden balcony engulfed in flames. FML
Today, my house caught on fire. After it was put out, I realized the damage wasn't bad, mainly smoke damage. I went to my parents' for the night because my house smelled. While there, I received a phone call from my neighbor. Apparently, my house caught fire again. It's now a pile of ashes. FML
Today, my neighbour from across the road phoned me at work telling me there was a fire engine outside my house and a lot of smoke. I drove home in a panic, smashing a rear light on a post and getting flashed by a speed camera. It wasn't my house. The firemen were putting out a bonfire next door. FML
Today, my boss told me to not burn the place down while she was outside. When she came back inside, I accidentally started a fire. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

YDI for not locking your bike. The 30 seconds it would take you to secure your valuable property would have made no difference to the fate of some stranger's burning bush.

Read my reply to #4. And it wasn't just the bush I was worried about, it's in the middle of a neighbourhood, with plenty of other things around it that could catch fire. Ran there so that I was in time to simply put it out with that bucket of water, rather than having to call for a fire truck later.

Did you run after them? They (or at least one of them) can't have run that fast, having to hold your bike up at the same time.

I did, Toelie, for a short distance. Problem is they were on bicycles, holding my bike in between them. Looked like they had done it before :S.

And yes, I realize that I wrote something else in my FML (running off) but I didn't have enough characters left to explain properly, and I didn't think it would change the meaning of the FML much - tried to help out, bike got stolen. Even if they were on foot I probably wouldn't have caught them - I saw them relatively far away (on a long straight bicycle path), so would have been hard to catch up :(

I don't know what it's like in The Netherlands, but anyone here who tried to be both a fireman and a cop would end up burnt and shot. The world doesn't need incompetent heroes.

I'm not retarded - I know how to put out a fire without ending up in hospital. As for those pesky kids, over here they are generally not armed.

They were too fast for me, since they still had bicycles and I didn't.

Ydi. What did you expect? You left your bike unattended around some bad kids.

instead of running with it they should have rode it ( drum hits )
