Today, I bought an apartment over what I have just learned to be an Irish folk music store. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Same thing different taste
SHUT UP
Today, my extremely loud and nocturnal flatmate phoned me to tell me excitedly that he got an accordion for his birthday. FML
Many such cases
Today, after spending about 5 grand on my home studio over the past year, I realized I have no musical talent whatsoever. FML
Today, after my annoying neighbor who used to spend hours playing the cello in the apartment below me finally moved out, I found out that I have a new musical neighbor moving in. This fellow plays the bagpipes. FML
Today, I discovered my neighbors have bought a karaoke machine. FML
Today, I learned that the building I just moved into contains both a drummer and an opera singer. Both are very dedicated to their craft, and practice frequently. FML
Today, after months of apartment hunting with my boyfriend, he told me he had found a fantastic place that was really inexpensive. It seemed way too good to be true. It was. He took me to a storage unit. FML
Today, I leave Ireland after a 5 month study abroad. Today also happens to be the day that the price of alcohol decreases by 30%, the dollar increases by 15% and the girl I have been chasing the whole time, to no avail, finally decides to show an interest in me. FML
My new house
Today, I bought my first house, blowing nearly all my savings on the deposit. I had left myself enough for just a couple of necessary bits of furniture. It turns out the previous owner completely stripped the house when he left, taking the oven and even the toilet with him, amongst other things. FML
Sorry mate, you're on your own
Today, I signed the lease for a flat that a mate and I decided to move into. About five minutes after leaving the renting agency, I received a text from my mate saying he couldn't move in with me after all. I am now the happy tenant of a large inner city flat that I can't afford. FML
Today, I moved into a lovely basement suite. Unfortunately, the 12 year old upstairs plays violin. She also plays baritone. She said she alternates each day. FML

I fail to see this as in FML, but if it is to the OP ydi for not checking. Seriously, how do you buy an apartment without knowing anything about it?

1 - Celtic music rocks 2 - you TOTALLY deserve it for a) not noticing and b) hating celtic music

OP probably doesn't hate Celtic music specifically. He/She (why does it never say, anymore?) probably just hates that they have to listen to it ALL THE TIME.

OP lives in Cork. Maybe we can't assume he's Irish but it's probably safe to assume he doesn't have a problem with Irish people/things.

sparklies, Irish is not a place, it's a word describing things from the place, Ireland. On an irrelevant note, I like your name :)

perdix: They're made of fiberglass nowadays, but started with wood. They're more like tap shoes than Dutch clogs. But the joke still stands. Everybody else: 'Clogging' is a generic term incorporating many styles of dance. Certain types of African American, Native American, and Appalachian dances incorporate clogging, as well as lots of traditional European dances. What's known as Modern Clogging is quite American. But the Dutch are indeed the ones with the stereotypical wooden clog shoes. (Yes, I wiki'ed it. No, I have no life.)
