Today, after a week of rejoicing that my petty, passive-aggressive, bullying neighbours were moving away, I came home to find the "to let" board had been outside the wrong house the whole time. It's actually the people I really like who are moving away. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I went to check if my neighbours were home to return their dog, having looked after her for a few days. I looked in the window and the place was empty. They'd moved house and stuck us with their dog. FML
Today, I got home and noticed people were looking at my next-door neighbor's house that's for rent. Peering closer, I realized my ex-boyfriend and the girl he cheated on me with a few months ago were inside. After they left, the "For Rent" sign came down. I've got new neighbors. FML
Today, some new people moved into the house next door to mine. The previous occupants were very loud and obnoxious day in and day out, so I was looking forward to some sanity. When I went outside, I noticed they'd parked their cars on my lawn. FML
Today, after telling my parents just exactly what I thought of them and that I was moving out, the person I was supposed to move in with called to say they'd decided they would rather live alone. FML
Today, I'm living in a house share with a passive-aggressive middle-aged couple who leave rude notes around the house and yet pretend I don't exist when they happen to be in the same room as me. I'm in no position to get rid of them or move myself. FML
Today, I found out that my over-controlling parents would be moving in next door. I'm almost 23, and moved 5,365 km away to get away from them. FML
Today, after 2 months of my new neighbours' kids throwing rocks at our cars, constantly swearing at us, bullying my siblings in and out of school, and vandalising our property, their mother has convinced the landlord that we're the ones out of control. FML
Today, I found out that the day I moved out of my parents' house, they invited my whole family over and had a party to celebrate the fact that I was gone. FML
Today, my abusive ex-husband thought it was a good idea to buy the house next door and start living there immediately. Looks like I gotta move. FML
Today, I am now living a nightmare. The house on my left side was just bought by my cheating ex from years ago who I never wanted to see again, and the house on my right side has just had an offer put on it by my boss, whom I despise for being a lazy, entitled rich mama's boy. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Maybe you should invest in a "to let" sign so you can live somewhere peaceful.

I'm just going to assume it's something British (at least the name of it) and wait with you for one of them to clarify. Though based on the wording I'd assume it's something akin to a for sale sign.

It's for places that are up for rent

It's basically a sign saying "This place is available to be rented out". Why we call it "To Let" I don't know, but it's been that way for as long as I can remember and I hope it doesn't change due to Americanisms.

It shouldn't have to change #7 because there is some things we say and do in America that is different from another country. That type of stuff is what makes different country's unique(:

Let/lease, lease/rent (I know this has already technically been answered, but I'm giving the reasoning behind the wording)

I understand your mistake, but you didn't notice for a week?

I'm guessing a "to let board" is a for sale/for rent sign
samlovesham1234 9
Yes it is.

Why didn't your neighbors take down the sign if it wasn't supposed to be in front of their house? Were they not home for a week? Or are the homes rented and the landlord affixed the sign in a way they couldn't take it down?
