Today, I found out that one of my university flatmates arrived early for Freshers Week, and had a party which involved the place being trashed. I'm going to lose some of my deposit for damage caused before I even arrived. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, while celebrating at my friend's birthday party, I fell down a flight of stairs, got into a fight with my flatmate, and ruined my friend's outfit after drinking too much. I'm expecting I'll need to find a new place to live tomorrow. FML
Today, I got home from a holiday to find out that my flatmate had thrown a party. Everything seemed fine at first, then I noticed that someone had taken a dump in my running shoes that were in my bedroom closet. FML
Today, I had to meet with my landlord to organise when he was coming to look at my flat and decide whether I get my deposit back. In the time it took to see him, my friend drank a bottle of vodka and vomited all over my room and knocked the window through. My landlord is coming in the morning. FML
Today, I started packing up the flat I have been renting. As I took a picture off the wall I also ripped half the wallpaper. That's my deposit gone. FML
Today, I went to my first university party already a little drunk. I perched on the end of a table to cool off from the dancing and the whole table tipped over and dumped me onto the floor. I was promptly laughed out of the room. FML
Today, I came home to found all of my belongings out on the street. My roommate, who is also my brother, apparantly neglected to pay his part of the rent, and we got evicted. FML
Today, I arrived in my dorm at 3 am to find my roommate passed out and a nauseating stench. While I was gone, he got drunk and puked all over the walls, carpet, and both beds. His inebriated attempt to clean up the mess consisted of smearing his vomit everywhere with my shower robe. FML
Today, I came back to my apartment after moving most of my stuff out. Upon returning, I learned that my now ex-roommate drank all of my alcohol and threw away my things, thinking that I had forgotten them. FML
Today, someone tried to break into my dorm room while I was in class. Ramming the metal door with their shoulder just dented it, so they pissed on my welcome mat and left. FML
Today, my flat has turned into a pigsty. My flatmate decided to make the lounge his bedroom and it looks like a bomb has hit it. I haven’t been able to sleep, as he doesn’t sleep at night and talks to friends all night long or plays loud music. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Here are your options for payback: 1. After using the restroom, instead of using toilet paper like a normal human being, use the towel he dries off with after shower. 2. Invite your weed-smoking-friends over and let them use his bass clarinet as a bong, if he has one. 3. Cut a hole in the mitten he uses to take food out of the oven. 4. Make the sink the appropriate place to wash your junk. 5. Have casual conversations about your bowel movements and how you name them. 6. My personal favourite: Use his deodorant in your junk in order to prevent ingrown hair. It's your choice. Choose wisely.

That's unfortunate.

Freshers week?? I'd complain to the landlord, an explain you weren't in residence when the damage happened.

Pfft. Good luck with that. Colleges aren't exactly the most reasonable when it comes to charges and fees. When I moved from one dorm to another, they gave everyone a 3 hour window for move-in, as in, you couldn't move into the new one until 2, but you had to be out of the old one by 5. It was so crowded that it took at least 5 hours until everyone was done. Not to mention it started pouring rain halfway through. They tried to hit half the building with a 300 dollar late-move-out fee.

Wipe your butt with his towel.

Real simple. Make him pay for it or take him to small claims court.

You shouldnt have too if you complained about the damage the day you signed in. Usually you have a sheet about complaints of the facility when you first move in so I am saying YDI!

I have to agree, when I came to univeristy we were given an inventory and anything missing or damaged which hadnt been recorded or put down for repair we had to tell them about so we got keep our deposit, so yea ya kinda deserve it for not pointing it out to the uni

He said one of his flatmates arrived early, probably meaning that they came before Freshers' week... For most unis, Freshers' week has only officially started today. OP - Get evidence and complain. A lot. Complain until they're sick of you and refund the charges. It's usually the only way to make landlords listen.
