Today, I found out that apparently the pipes for my toilet were never connected, so anything you flush just falls out onto the basement floor downstairs. I've lived here 4 years. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, we woke up to two inches of water in our finished basement, which my wife and I use it as our bedroom. The plumber found roots in our sewer line. The kicker: we just bought the house four days ago. FML
Today, I came home from my aunt's funeral to find my basement flooded due to a sewer backup. FML
Today, I came home from work to find my house was flooded from a broken pipe under the sink. My house had just recently had new wood floors, carpet and electrics installed because 6 months earlier my house had been flooded by the same pipe breaking. FML
Today, my work finally hired someone to replace some leaky pipes. I work in the basement by myself, and just as I walked under the newly-fixed pipes, I got soaked with what appeared to be water. Apparently it was connected to a toilet. My boss couldn't find a replacement, so they made me work covered in piss. FML
Today, I took a big, smelly, satisfying dump when I woke up. When I tried to flush, nothing happened. None of my four roommates bothered to tell me we didn’t have running water. FML
Today, sewage came up the toilet and tub in my apartment and spread far enough to get into the hallway. The maintenance crew found the source of the blocked pipes to be a ten inch long weave some idiot flushed down a toilet. FML
Today, I found out I have another leak in my house. I've had three inspections and they were all shit. At this point, that pipe is the only remaining original pipe in the entire house. Over 25k have officially gone into this BS. Note to all: go "new." FML
Today, the sewers in my town became overloaded. My basement is now filled with other people's poop. 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, I awoke to find a water pipe burst. I frantically ran down to the basement to turn off the water to the house. What I didn't expect when I reached the bottom of the stairs was to have to start dodging the falling, wet ceiling tiles. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Took the words out of my mouth. Does he not have a nose? Or just never use that toilet?

Maybe it's an apartment building? That's the only rational option I could ever consider.

I don't see how this is possible. Op, we need a follow up, because you should've been smelling that after the second day, one week at the very latest, so please explain how this went unnoticed and unsmelled for 4 years!

Guess you could say it's a pretty shitty situation....no? Ok....I'll just see myself out.......

personally, these are getting friggin annoying. grow some balls. dont "see yourself out the door". if its an overused pun, but you still wanna make it, then make it with confidence. act like nobody has ever heard it before, be proud of it. the funniest comedy shows are done by confident performers.

OR everyone could not be so butthurt over puns on FML. It's FML, not CNN. Everyone should lighten up and not downvote just because they hate the puns/the same puns used every time. They're funny but, if you don't like them, just leave them alone. Don't do anything. Even the ones "said with confidence" are downvoted.

You haven't gone in your basement for four years?

Damn your basement must be sealed really tight for you to not notice

I'm dreading the oncoming wave of unoriginal "shitty situation" puns.
NostalgiaFreak9 43
Sounds like a crappy situation. I'll be waiting for my downvotes now.

Heres a good original pun; sounds like (wait for it) a (wait a little longer while i scratch my nose) absolutely horrid ordeal which must of cost alot of time and money, and must have been very strenous for op. Hows that for a original pun? Just kidding, i think op kinda deserves it, although i would like to know the exact details of this shitty (you can stop waiting) situation. Wheres the follow up?

Hold on, hold on, something is full of shit here. Either it's you or your basement.

How could you not smell that shit....? Pun intended.
