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

This one really needs more explanation... I don't believe that could be happening for 4 years with no obvious smell

I need more info. I cannot fathom how you didn't notice this, unless you live in a high rise or something.

So, you never wandered down to the basement for anything in the four years you lived there?

Yeah... need a follow up cause I don't believe this for a damn second. 1.) How did you never go into your basement for four years? Everyone uses their basement for something, whether it be storage, a laundry room, game room, etc. 2.) How the actual fuckity **** **** did you NEVER smell or hear the splashing? You either are a liar, have no sense of smell and are deaf, or you're just stupid. I can't fathom in any crazy twist of events you never came upon this in FOUR YEARS!
