Today, I left the windows open because I live in Florida without air conditioning because the asshole landlord won't fix it. There was nice cool air from the rain. I've killed about 100 flying ants that have made their way inside. Now I have a hot house with closed windows and flying ants. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I put my AC in my room again in preparation for summer. However, I forgot that my cat messed up the accordion while climbing the window like an idiot, so it no longer closes properly. So there is now an opening in the window that I can't do anything about. Hello, insects. FML
Today, I was going to set up my air conditioner in the window. As I opened up the window, I must have disturbed a wasp nest, because a dozen wasps flew in and several of them stung me. The rest are now somewhere in my house with my terrified girlfriend. FML
Today, I hate having bugs in the house so I covered all doors and windows in fly screen. This prevents 80% of the bugs from finding their way inside, and 100% of those from finding their way back out. FML
Today, my AC stopped working. It's currently 3:08AM and I have 2 fans running, a cold washcloth on my neck, and a window open. It's still hot as hell. Thanks, Florida. FML
Today, as I have my entire life, I live in the south. However, our AC decided to break and now it's 91 degrees inside the house, even with fans on and the windows open. FML
Today, I opened a window that had been shut for a couple of months. As soon as I did, dozens of tiny baby spiders blew in with the breeze, and dispersed in my kitchen. FML
Today, I was driving home, it was 80 degrees out. Making a rare attempt to be eco-friendly, I turned off the A/C and lowered the windows. A bee then flew in through the window, hit my cheek, and stung me. That's what I get for attempting to be eco-friendly. FML
Today, I'm sitting in a disgustingly hot office with all the windows thrown open. There is no fan, and the owner won't let us use the air conditioner. The smell of mold permeates the room from the ceiling, giving me headaches by the end of the day. The owner refuses to get someone in to clean it. I can't quit. FML
Today, I turned on my A/C for the first time in a couple of months. A family of ginormous cockroaches climbed out of the air vent and a few clumps of dead cockroaches fell to the ground. FML
Today, I saw a moth trapped in a spider web. Feeling gracious, I gently freed it, and then took it to the window to let it out. When I opened the window to set him free, my $300 air conditioner fell two stories and smashed on the sidewalk. The moth flew away. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Invest in a window screen. Just because the landowner won't improve your quality of living doesn't mean you're bound to his whims :)

There's only one thing you can do now. And it involves fire... a lot of it

Yes. You can buy a kit to make your own at Lowe's for pretty cheap. Just, uhh, double check your measurements before cutting... *sweeps frame scraps under a rug*

Flying ants are like tiny satans with wings

You can sue your landlord. It's not considered acceptable housing with no AC

Ac is considered a luxury

Nope. In Florida you are only legally required to supply heat in a rental unit. AC is completely optional, as awful as that is.

There potential for an infestation. I suggest you get your house checked afterward.

Until your landlord steps up can you get a few fans? Once you've killed the damn flying ants of course.

I have a spare ticket to nopeville, if you're interested.

Also from Florida, once we hit 95 outside its considered an emergency repair, you need to report your landlord. The landlord will dislike you, but clearly he already does.

Look through your lease contract closely, he may be obligated to fix it. If he is, you can decide to not pay rent until he fixes it because he is not holding up his end of the contract

Eeeekk! I hope you didn't get bit! Time to threaten to report the landlord. How ridiculous of him. Houses in Florida NEED to have AC. He shouldn't even be a landlord!
