Today, my dad and I found in my house a water filter that has not been changed in over 20 years. We have been drinking that water that has been going through a filter that had more colors than a rainbow on it. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I discovered that my dishwasher has a filter. I cleaned out food from it that has never been in my kitchen since I moved in. FML
Today, I tried to surprise my mom and wash her car while she was away. Today, I also found out how gross our well water is. The car looks worse than before. FML
Today, I heard on television that a body was found in my city's water reservoir. Word is that it was dead for over a week. I've been drinking and showering with that water. FML
Today, I was running water for a relaxing bath. There have been some problems with the town's water for a while now, so I was pleased when the water looked so clear. Right as I thought that, however, the water instantly changed from crystal clear to shit brown. FML
Today, my parents decided that the best way to save money was to dilute everything we drank with water. Only one more year of watered down soda and juice to go. FML
Today, I noticed a thick layer of mold growing inside the straw of my water bottle. I use that bottle every day. FML
Today, my dad decided to clean my 20 gallon fish tank. I had 6 fish. One of them was called a transparent fish, clear with a bright orange tail, which was my favorite. My dad didn't see it, and dumped the water out along with it. FML
Today, my Brita filter for my pitcher needs a replacement. This wouldn't be even remotely that big of a deal, except this month I also ran out on a few other necessities that weren't exactly what one would call cheap. I'm trying to both save money but also learn more healthy habits (like drinking more water). FML
Today, I found out my friends replaced the water in my bottle with vodka when all my fish died. Any water I don't finish the night before, I pour into my tank the next morning. Thousands of dollars and years hard work, gone. FML
Today, I found out I have sodium fluoride poisoning. Apparently, my water has a high level of sodium fluorine. I've been drinking much more water lately trying to be healthier. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

******* pricess, put on your fuzzy little pink slippers & deal with it... I mean, there's nothing really wrong with you (except the sissiness, but that's not the water) so where's your problem?

What is a pricess?

The other part that made no difference: a water filter that doesn't do anything. This is a water FILTER. It takes things out of the water that would have been there anyway. If it hasn't been changed, it isn't re-depositing the contaminants, it's just not taking any out. The gross part isn't that the water was going through the filter, it's that there is stuff in the water to make the filter look like that

How the **** do YOU know? ?ust because it does not smell or taste like gasoline does not mean it is not lethal. You are obviously suffering shit-for-brains.... probably from your water.

That's flawed reasoning. If I had a carton of milk, and I leave the milk in the sun for a week, the contents couldn't be worse than the milk that was there to begin with.

But a filter is neither in the sun, nor is it in still water.

milk isn't a great example. milk curdles, and after a week in the sun it would be horrible. wait, what was your point anyway?

If it was just brown or red-brown in the filter, that's no big deal...just rust deposits from iron in the water. You can drink unfiltered water as long as it has no other problems...it'll just taste a bit rough. Hell, I grew up drinking well water at my grandmother's house. It tasted a bit funky but there was nothing really wrong with it. But if there were "rainbow colors" in the filter, I'd worry. That could be mold. And you do NOT want to be drinking mold spores. YDI for not checking all the water sources in your house on a regular basis, especially when you moved in. Sorry. That's what happens when you're lazy and irresponsible.

Wow, you must be retarded. That was the worst grammer I have ever read.

I see...wait for it...IRONY! The word is "grammar". ;)

and spelling isn't grammar... so wait for it... where's the irony?
myfriend_youfail 3
The irony was that you called someone retarded when you are obviously also mentally deficient.
