Today, I had a huge yard sale. Since I live in a good neighborhood, I decided to leave the stuff out tonight rather than pack it all in for only a few hours. The news didn't say anything about the impending severe thunderstorm. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I put my car in the garage last night so it wouldn't get damaged by a huge thunderstorm. Golf clubs fell on it while it was stowed away. FML
Today, I heard that there was supposed to be a huge blizzard heading our way, so I went out to stock up on groceries. After spending $600 on food, I drove home and packed most of it into the fridge and freezer just in time for our power to go out. FML
Today, the kids that live down the street had a yard sale in my yard while I wasn’t home. They sold a bunch of my daughter's toys, which I now have to replace. FML
Today, the weather man announced that today's forecast will include heavy rain and hail in my city. Normally, this wouldn't be a big deal. However, my house has no roof at the moment. FML
Today, I went to help a friend move into her new apartment. We were half-way through when it started to rain, and in my anger I yelled that it's like these things happen just to annoy me. Then we heard the tornado sirens. FML
Today, my mom sold our electronic stuff to pay for hurricane shutters. We live in Chicago. FML
Today, I posted that I'm having a yard sale and listed a bunch of stuff I'm selling. People started messaging, asking me to send pictures and prices. That's why I'm having the yard sale, so I don't have to post pictures and prices! FML
Today, I was moving to my new apartment. I left some furniture outside as I drove to dump the first load at my new place. When I got back, everything was gone. Apparently, today is the day the donation truck was coming around to take everything we don't need. 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, after spending three hours raking leaves, I went to the store to get some supplies. I came back to find my neighbor had decided to blow his leaves all over my yard. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

So lemme get this straight. The storm stole your stuff? Is that what happened? Goddamn weather. Edit: I have no idea what the **** I'm saying.

Thunderstorms can be random! Sometimes the news/weather channel don't predict it
ohSNAPyall 27
This is why meteorologists speak in terms of probabilities.

Honestly, when was the last time meteorologist was right about something?

I feel as though they are practically always wrong. It makes me upset
madelinebriana 11
Right? They always get me excited about having a warm, sunny day for once and it ends up being cloudy or just straight up pouring rain. It sucks

39- Well you don't say "I'm goin to go watch the weather channels." I think she was correct on this one..

Didn't you know that Texas weather is bipolar?

Lol I live in Texas and I knew about the thunderstorms. Guess you didn't watch the right news.

39 - when I said "the news/weather channel don't" I meant "the news and weather channel don't". But technically if you interpreted the slash mark a different way you'd be correct

Nice grammar Tex :l

Thunderstorms are random we had one last night. And OP I live in Texas and our neighborhood had a garage sale too !
Fml_FTW228 10
68- Either way you interpret it, it should be "doesn't." 46- You're horribly wrong and stupid.
madelinebriana 11
But I'm pretty sure 'don't' applies to plural and 'doesn't' to the singular, right? Ah, whatever, who cares haha

Meanwhile you're the one writing with "u"...

That sucks. Sorry to hear, but you kinda deserved it.

That sucks, but even if you do live in a good neighborhood it's probably not the best idea to leave everything outside!
jackassiddy 8
Indeed. All of the smart thieves go to the good neighborhoods to steal. *sinister smile*

You could've called it a garage sale and left everything in the garage :P

Don't you know? The same rule applies when you wash your car also!

Just plain bad luck. Hopefully OP didn't leave anything TOO valuable out there.

What I'd like to know is: where is this neiborhood? Sounds like a great place!

Thunderstorms can be unpredictable but you should have atleast covered the stuff with sometime before night. The morning dew wouldn't have been good for it anyways.
EyeCeYu 7
Oops i ment *something* not sometime
dellis44 7
If it was a good neighborhood, then one of your neighbors should have come and told you to cover your stuff. FYL
madelinebriana 11
You and the person above you have really similar pictures....
sleepinginclass 8
And similar comments.

Coincidence? I think not!
yumyumpoptart 16
even though a thunderstorm came OP, you still should of put all your stuff back in the house/garage. you don't know what kind of people are going around these days!
JSwerv3 6
You live in a good neighborhood and stuff you didn't even want anymore got ruined, yeah, **** your life
perdix 31
Maybe the OP needed the yard sale money to avoid foreclosure. FHL for living beyond his means.
JSwerv3 6
If that was true, the FML would have said "Today, I had a huge yard sale. Since I live in a good neighborhood, I decided to leave the stuff out tonight rather than pack it all in for only a few hours. The news didn't say anything about the impending severe thunderstorm, I needed the money to avoid foreclosure. FML" Common sense bro!

There's a 300-character limit on stories. Plus, that detail would have been boring.
jujubunni5 9
That would have been a stupid FML with too many details. Stupid -.-
JSwerv3 6
Doesn't matter if it would have sounded boring or not, if it actually happened he would have put it in there anyway, adding that detail would have contributed to the whole FML effect. And quite frankly, the foreclosure thing would have been the icing on the cake, I'm sure if he ran of out room he would have figured out a way to squeeze it in there. Use your brain next time please

I'm not saying he doesn't have the right to be upset, I'm saying he doesnt get the right to say "**** my life" (meanwhile in Uganda, children are being forced to murder their parents) just because some of the things he was trying to sell got wet.... and I'm sure a majority of the items aren't permanently damaged anyway, it's just a thunder storm, not hurricane Katrina.

#52, thanks! Today, my tribe in central Africa is starving and my family has been rounded up and shot. There was a fly in my soup. FML.

Kone? You're really going there. Such douchebaggery! Why don't you go troll other sites?
