Today, I found out that if someone flushes a toilet the same time I'm starting the washing machine, my house will flood. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I learned that taking a shower right before your house starts flooding is the human equivalent to washing your car right before it starts raining. Only much worse. FML
Today, I learned that when the power goes out at my house, my family thinks you can no longer flush the toilet. 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, I was using the toilet at a friend's house when the toilet made a strange gurgling noise. Thinking it was just old plumbing, I flushed. The water started rising... and rising. Before I knew it, water, and whatever was in the toilet, began overflowing and flooding the bathroom. I had to go ask for help, and a mop. FML
Today, I found out that the peaceful rain I'd been listening to all night was really a broken water-main flooding my entire yard. FML
Today, my toilet decided it wouldn't take any more shit from me, and flooded the bathroom. FML
Today, I overloaded the washing machine and it flooded the downstairs. The flooring will have to be scrapped and drywall replaced. It's 100% my fault. Did I mention this is not my house? FML
Today, I finally made the connection between people in my apartment building flushing their toilets, and my running shower water becoming scalding hot. This wouldn't be quite as bad if there weren't six floors to the building, with twenty units on each. FML
Today, I realized that every time I hear running water, I have less than a minute to find a toilet or I'll pee my pants. FML
Today, I discovered that when I sleep, I go to the bathroom to poop and don’t flush the toilet. I live with three roommates who all wake up before I do. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Your waste outflow pipes are blocked or clogged up. Call a plumber.

^ Yeah that. Something is clogged.

I don't know if you're being serious or acting like you know what's wrong. *turns on sarcasm detector to a higher level* Could you say it again, please?
TourettesGuyFTW 26
I've had to fix this problem in my own house (successfully). So no, I'm not acting like anything. Piss off #24.

Sorry if I offended anyone. I meant it like when someone's acting all smart and they're joking like "it's definitely the phalaxyphus". I wasn't attacking you. But have a good day :)

You know, 39, that picture is just perfect for you.

That's totally what I was going to say, it's definitely the waste outflow pipe thing clogged and what not. You'll probably need a ratcheting PVC pipe cutter, a slip nut wrench, some soft jaw pliers, and some low riding pants.

Actually it's a great time to leave some of those critters out to drown.

I 'll remember that next time!

Eh screw it, I'm just wanting to give you crap for posting twice!

If it's happening with you, I strongly suggest you don't wait for next time.

This is a pretty decent multilevel of FML house floods, person on toilet day is ruined, and the house pipes are messed up. Nice!

That's awful, OP. Hope the flood damage wasn't too serious.

That sucks, do you have home insurance? They can help you with that kinda stuff.
tounces7 28
Dunno why this was downvoted, Homeowners insurance does indeed cover sewer backups. A wastewater backup into your house can do some serious damage.
Kalipczo 21
Huh. Call an electrician/plumber and see of they can sort something out, I'm not a professional or anything, but I don't think that should be happening.
subwaysurfers 13
It definitely shouldn't be happening.
imlifeless2 25
No, no. Floodaxa is completely safe. Side effects, however, may include destroyed furniture, damage to foundation, paranoia, and $400 dollars in plumbing costs. Yep! completely safe and reassuring.
