Today, due to an unforeseen pipe-related incident, I had to shave my legs in my backyard fish pond, while a plumber assessed the damage to my war-zone of a bathroom. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, after dealing with tons of drama and working a 14 hour shift, I took a shower. When I stepped out, a weak spot in the floor gave way. While falling through the floor I grabbed the toilet tank lid, which fell into the tank and broke it. Now my leg hurts and the bathroom's flooded. FML
Today, I tried to fix a leaky pipe after watching a tutorial. I turned what I thought was the main valve to cut the water, loosened the pipe, and immediately got sprayed in the face. In my panic, I tightened it wrong and made it worse. I had to call a plumber while standing in a puddle, holding a towel against the pipe like that was helping. FML
Today, I tried to fix a leaking pipe under the sink. I watched a YouTube tutorial and was feeling confident that I could get the job done. Two hours later, half of the kitchen was practically flooded because I forgot to cut the water off, and scrambled to actually find the main valve, then I had to call an emergency plumber, who showed up, laughed, and fixed it in five minutes. FML
Today, I'm stuck at home waiting on a plumber to come fix the flooding in my basement. The flooding happens when any sink, shower, or toilet in the house is used. Today is also the day that I started my period. Without water. FML
Today, we had to turn the water off due to a massive leak in the kitchen sink that the plumber was currently fixing. I managed to wait two hours before my uncooperative digestive tract said it couldn't wait any longer and I had to take a mega dump in the bathroom. I couldn't flush the toilet or wash my hands. FML
Today, I was speeding home, bursting to take a crap. I pulled into my driveway and made it inside, before my wife told me the plumber was still working on our pipes. I ended up having to take a crap in my own backyard, behind a tree. FML
Today, I finally started a DIY home improvement project I'd been putting off for a while now. As I was drilling into the wall, I managed to hit a plumbing pipe that I didn't know was there and started flooded my living room. FML
Today, the pipe in the dining room sink suddenly broke open and in about 15 minutes my entire apartment was turned into an indoor swimming pool. The worst part? I was there the entire time, playing video games with my headphones on. FML
Today, I popped into the shower hoping to come out all warm and clean. Something was very wrong with the pipes, and I came out smelling like sewage instead. FML
Today, I woke up to a fog. Literally. A pipe burst in my apartment and scalding water was everywhere. To make matters worse, when I called maintenance he told me he'd come by later, hung up on me, and turned his phone off. He did eventually show up, but it was 5 hours later, well after I'd paid a plumber $200. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

You couldn't just skip one day? I think fish pond legs are worse than stubble.

Can't you go a day without shaving your legs? Or just wear long pants?

That Sucks Go celtics

That's what I was thinking. I wouldn't mind skipping a day, but my leg hair is very light blonde and almost nonexistent. It may be different for OP if her leg hair is darker, but I still don't see how the urge to shave her legs was so strong that she had to do it in a fish pond.... :P

Maybe an event?

I didn't think about that. True!

Or... Use a hose?

What did the fish ever do to you to deserve that?

That's sick! If this FML is real, op is probably going to develop a flesh eating bacteria.

Or she could use a neighbor's shower. Or a gym shower. Or a relative's shower. Or some other water source that would not disrupt animals.

Ever thought about getting waxed op? I think it would be better than using a fish pond :0

Kitchen sink? I doubt her shower and fish pond were the only water sources around.

They probably had to turn off the water in her house, that's what happens when they fixed the pipes at my house.

This may be because I'm a nursing student, but all I can think about is the risk of infection. Any time you shave, you get tiny nicks in the skin even if you can't see or feel them. Exposing them to dirty pond water by using it to shave is asking for a nasty infection!

Or she could have just shaved her legs without using water. It isn't a great way of shaving, but I'd rather shave dry legs than use filthy pond water!

Or wax?

Maybe she did go a day or a few without shaving and she needs to shave. Also I stole all her long pants. They may not be as sassy as mine but they fit pretty good.

To much shaving in the shower OP?
redfishbluefish2 13
Or she could have just shaved using lotion.

that comment is so thought provoking and deep._.

I know right? Just look at it... DAMN! It is so damn good! That shift key to make the 'd' capitalized. The way that 'a' 'm' and 'n' fit perfectly together. It looks like it came down from heaven itself. LOOK AT THE PERIOD! WHERE IS IT? IT'S NOT ******* THERE BECAUSE ******* **** PERIODS THAT'S WHY! Get rid of that shit! Periods are the cause of all the world problems. This just speaks to me lie... like... DAMN! I can't even think with all these thoughts of thoughtfulness just going around and my head and thing thoughts. Damn

Did the fish nibble on your toes? That would tickle..
SqueakyChipmunk 22
I stuck my finger in a fish tank once. It tickled. Until the piranha swam up.

People pay lots of money for that kind of treatment in spas around Asia. The fish are supposed to eat off your dead skin on your feet. I'm too scared to try the pond with the big fish. They look like they could bite my whole foot off :/

Yumm im sure the fish loved the little bits of hair.

I wonder what shaving cream tastes like..

Algae acts as a good moisturizer.
mrlopez 13
I can't think of another term other than "slimy smooth". That's so unheard of, I know.

I can think of a million better ways to get hairless legs than to go outside and use fish pond water.

Sitting on the counter and using the kitchen sink did not occur to you I guess?
Roflsauruz 12
Did it not occur to you that maybe her water is turned off while the plumber's working?...
