Today, I got l disconnect notices for both my water and my electric. After looking over my budget, I realized that I can only pay for one until next month. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I finally got my paycheck that I could enjoy $300 for myself after taking care of my bills with so many other ones. Then, I find out that the water was shut off, which is supposed to be my roommate's responsibility. Apparently, he has not paid it in months, and they want $288. FML
Today, my brother texted me a picture of his "upcoming disconnect" notice for his utility bill and asked if I could loan him the money to pay it. All I could give him was a picture of my "disconnected" notice. FML
Today, I found out the electric bill I have been paying was on my old house. I found this out when they shut off the power to my house. FML
Today, I had a really good day out just to come home right before the electricity company closed for the day, to find out my payment hadn’t gone through and they'd turned it off. FML
Today, my roommate decided to go on a group trip instead of paying our water bill. Now I can't shower until next week. FML
Today, my water got cut off. The previous homeowners owed the water company over $300, and the company doesn't believe that I'm not them. The supervisor told me this will keep happening until I pay up. I need a shower. FML
Today, my power company notified me that one of the payments my husband and I sent last week for our overdue bill had bounced. FML
Today, marks the two weeks since my paycheck should have arrived. During these two weeks, my battery has failed, tire has blown, and my phone and water bill have become past due. When I called the guy who's supposed to pay me, he said he has a note about it "somewhere on my desk". FML
Today, our water got cut off. Since our council tax is also due today, I called them and hurled abuse for cutting off the water so soon. Turns out they don’t actually supply water, nor was it even disconnected. Some random person just turned off the meter tap. FML
Today, I was notified that my work is cutting my pay almost in half. I just renewed my long-term lease on an expensive apartment because I was able to afford it before this morning. Now I have no idea how I’m going to pay for it. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Keep the water. If you don't have electric, you won't be able to write anymore inane FML's like this one and the world will be a better place.

Don't know about France but in England they can't cut your water because it's essential for life so I'd pay the electricity but obviously it may be different there.

ask somebody for a loan... if they won't give you any money, i would choose electric, i mean you can always go to a gym or something and take a shower there, and then eat out or with disposable plates... you can always stay away from your house as much as possible, so you can use the bathroom and such anywhere else...

Go with Electricity. You can shower at a friends house adn fill up water jugs and stuff for dishes and cooking. I lived like that for an entire winter. Sucks, but its not the end of the world. And dumping water down the toilet flushes it.

I would choose electricity because you need the electricity for water to run in the first place. Or at least for me it is...

I vote electricity. Just ask to shower at your neighbor's/friend's house.

Electricity. Without it, you won't have heat or be able to cook. Also, I'm pretty sure that electricity is involved in obtaining hot water. Perhaps you could work a bit more and rearrange your budget to get both?

Pay for the electricity, use a litter box and lick yourself clean.

Pay the water!!! You can't live without water!!! You can make do without electricity by using flashlights and stuff. Unless you live somewhere really cold and you lose your heat when you lose your electricity!!! Then, pay that and take sponge baths with bottled water!!! Good luck with your dilemna!!!!!
