Today, I declined an apartment because it didn't have a detachable shower head that I could use for my enjoyment. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my parents got rid of our detachable shower head. Looks like I'm single again. FML
Today, my boyfriend turned down a shower with me because he didn't want to get his hair wet. 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, while trying to relax because I'm sick and I feel like crap, the shower head attachment fell and hit me on the head. FML
Today, the maintenance workers finally came to my apartment to fix the shower-head that kept falling off the wall. I was annoyed because they had replaced it a few weeks ago and since then, it'd been a problem. They went into my bathroom, turned the shower head around, and left. FML
Today, I was enjoying some "alone time" with the detachable shower head when someone flushed the toilet, causing the cold water to run out and badly scald my genitals. It hurts to walk. 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
Today, I was excited by the thought of the bathroom in my rental being replaced after the plumber advised that the leak can't be easily fixed. Instead, the owner has decided to fully renovate and is kicking me out. FML
Today, I left my empty shower running so I could pretend I didn't still live alone. FML
Today, I went down to my accommodation office in fiery wrath, demanding that something be done about my three-days-cold shower. Looking dubious, they sent someone back with me. As soon as we got there he looked at me with deep pity and pulled the cord in the corner that activated the hot water. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

You can...buy a new showerhead? Like they're not even expensive or difficult to install?

People saying "just buy one" and stuff: You are aware that some apartments/other rental homes do not allow their renters to install different hardware in their units than what was there when they moved in, right? If this was one of those places, then I can see why OP turned it down.

but at the same time maybe they really didn't the apt if they can turn it down just like because of that

Toys. You can buy them separately.

While true, they could always keep the original shower head and swap it back if needed. Fight the system! Anarchy!

you are incorrect. you can change showerheads. you just need to put old one back when moving out
MisstressNicole 20
My husband and I have done this in the two apartments we have rented. It's simple and you aren't changing something that's difficult to change back.

Pretty sure that only applies to major changes like paint, carpet, oven/stove, refrigerator, etc. I don't think anyone is going to care if you put on a different shower head... You can always remove it before you move out.
TabooSushi 24
Oh really? Cause I've had a few landlords who were very ******* adamant that I never change their hardware unless it broke, and even then I had to get the exact model they told me to replace it. Douchebag landlords exist.

So you agree with her stupidity? Why the **** would your turn down a whole house just because you can't **** yourself with the shower head? You're as stupid as she is. And you're wrong. You can totally change a shower head. I rent the house I'm in now and naught one no problem. Anyone can. Its just like painting. You just have to change it back when you move out.

You definitely can. You keep the original and put it back on when you leave. We did this same thing on a military base. And they are huge sticklers for things being perfect.

#61 No idea what it's like where you live, but in the UK once someone is renting you the apartment they can't even enter your property without giving you advanced warning. So you'd have plenty of time to put the old showerhead back on.

so keep the old one for if you move out.

Assuming you're a girl...it's actually bad for you to use a shower head because the water messes with your internal ecosystem. Just saying; you do you, though
TabooSushi 24
Unless you're shooting the water directly up your hoo-ha, using a shower head to stimulate the outer area of your ladyparts isn't actually harmful. You're basically just washing yourself with water, which is what you're supposed to do anyway cause soaps and stuff mess up your ecosystem whereas water is fine.
AChaoticFray 25
Fair point~ probably best not to try though, if you ask me
finalyearsofhate 22
It's perfectly fine.
Chlo1996 15
lol that's what she intends to so ;D

YDI.....Aside from just getting a toy made for personal enjoyment, it's really quite easy to swap out a standard shower head with a detachable one. Definitely shouldn't have been the only reason to turn down an apartment.

Just buy a vibrator like a normal person
Skoff_fml 27
Alternatively, you could just buy an item specifically designed for that purpose? I don't even

I see responsibility isn't your strong suit
obeykaitlyn 25
you could buy a new shower head and switch it out... not that hard
SauceySarah 30
I mean.. I don't blame you. In your case, it's a feature that is a "must have" when choosing to rent a unit, kinda like A/C or a dishwasher.
SauceySarah 30
I guess no one understood the sarcasm. Thanks for the downvotes, guys. Appreciate it.

They are $9.99 at Walmart. What? They just screw in. This makes no sense.

Why is it an FML? You declined the apartment because it didn't fit your personal priorities. Nothing bad has happened at all.
