Today, I learned that it doesn't matter how good you've screwed a satellite dish onto the side of your house, it won't stop the wind the ripping it off and taking half the wall with it. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was taking my architecture project to school. I'd spent days preparing my little model house. I stepped outside with it in my hand, and right at that moment a gust of wind ripped it away. It's currently lying in my neighbour's garden, smashed to pieces. FML
Today, after spending $850 on having our siding, roof and windows powerwashed, a 5-minute storm blew the siding clear off the house. FML
Today, to save money, I wanted to fix my own leaky roof instead of hiring someone. When I got on the roof, the ladder fell. As it was falling, it broke three windows and snagged the siding of my house ripping over half of it off. FML
Today, at work, it was so windy that it started taking the door off its hinges. The door now won't close all the way. I can't leave until someone comes to fix it. FML
Today, I found out how painful it is when your ceiling fan falls on you. FML
Today, I purchased a brand new television. Not long after the professional who hung it on my wall left, it came crashing down on my hardwood floor. I'm now left with a busted TV, a tear in my living room wall, and a severely drained bank account. FML
Today, I was woken up by my TV falling down. Good news: It still works. Bad news: I don't know how it happened, so I'm worried it could happen again at any time and potentially break for real. FML
Today, as I came home from school, I saw a little rock in the road. I kicked it, intending to send it sailing into the bushes in front of my house. It went wide and sailed straight into a window instead. FML
Today, I added "a road sign" to my ever-growing list of "Things which have hit my car as a result of the wind." FML
Today, I lifted up my blinds, only for them to detach from the wall, hit me on the head, knock a pile of paper over, spill a can of Pepsi, leave plaster all over the floor and a gaping hole in the wall above my window. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Yeah I don't think the satellite dish is the worst of your problems right now

Even the wind was like "I've warned you countless times to get cable but you just didn't listen. Oh it's on now" haha.

You are all as dumb as he is if u can't realize it's his own fault with the install he screwed it into the siding and plywood of the house not to the actual framing of the house Which easily would have held up to the wind

Not sure why people thumbed down, I think OP completely deserved it. You don't just put shit wherever you want.

It wouldn't rip framing out if it was that easy to pull framing out the house would fall apart. If its that strong of wind the satellites mounting would bend not rip framing out

That sure would crumble your good mood.

I don't think it's how good you screwed it, or the wind it's your wall that screwed up, since half of your wall was gone with the satellite dish.

No it means it wasn't secured to the framing properly him or his satellite provider whatever genius installed it screwed into the siding and plywood sheeting around the home not the the framing of the home

Read a book, do something else until you can get a new dish...as for the wall, good luck.

Maybe it's time you start building BRICK walls.

Well, it could be a brick wall with loose cement. It's not always noticable to the untrained eye.

That's what you get for not going with cable, a massive hole on the side of your house.

You should have mounted it to the frame, now the outer paneling/stucco of your house. or just installed in on the roof. next time just have it professionally installed.

I hope you have insurance, otherwise, you'd end up with a pretty fat bill. Next time, a attach the satellite dish to a large tile and have it installed in your backyard, they never move and if they do, they're pretty cheap to replace.
