Today, I noticed that my ceiling was sagging slightly. I got up on to a chair to look at it more closely, and I touched it. Turns out that my ceiling was full of water. It went everywhere, ruining my new iPod, phone, and all the things my daughter bought for university. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I woke up to my living room covered in 8 cm of water. My $2k computer was on that floor. FML
Today, I came home to find water dripping from the ceiling in my apartment laundry room/pantry. All of my groceries were ruined. Maintenance's suggestion? "Put a bucket under it." FML
Today, I got home from work, and saw a note on the counter my roomate left saying "Sorry about the basement." I then went into the basement, and found that it was flooded. My TV, Xbox360, mini-fridge, and couch were all destroyed. Good thing he tried to stop the leak with scotch tape. FML
Today, while trying to find my phone in the depths of the sheets on my bed, I gave my comforter a huge shake. A second later, I heard a crash. My phone had miraculously flown straight into the glass of water on my nightstand. Found it. FML
Today, I discovered my water bottle had leaked and spilled water all over my backpack, ruining my notebooks, soaking my schoolbooks, and destroying my midterm portfolio. FML
Today, I rushed home after my mom called saying our upstairs had flooded. Apparently, my little brother somehow broke the toilet while unsupervised and water overflowed everywhere. It even reached my closet, shoes, and books, and everything touching my floor in my room is now wet. FML
Today, I woke up to a flooded apartment. Apparently, the upstairs neighbor's bathtub had overflowed and water was pouring through my ceiling. My landlord said he couldn't do anything until the water stopped, so I spent the morning frantically trying to mop up the water while feeling completely helpless. FML
Today, I awoke to find a water pipe burst. I frantically ran down to the basement to turn off the water to the house. What I didn't expect when I reached the bottom of the stairs was to have to start dodging the falling, wet ceiling tiles. FML
Today, I noticed a spot of water on the floor. I thought my cats had spilled a cup of water and didn't worry about it. I went to a meeting and when I came back, my entire apartment was flooded with 3 inches of water. FML
Today, my ceiling fan was rocking violently so I turned it off. I stood under it trying to figure out what the problem is, it fell on my face. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

if your ceiling is sagging, don't try to mess with it unless you know why it's sagging.

More like Winner !!!! Get everything electrical that you own and put it in that room, then you can claim it all on your home owners insurance. Even the stuff that still works!

it's funny that one of the main things you're worried about, is your iPhone

I want to say YDI but I would have done the same thing. Bubbles are irresistible. Oh hell, YDI and I would have too.

You guys do realize that if you claim anything on insurance your rates go up dont you??? That means that if you claim $100 worth of stuff, yea you get $100 worth of new stuff but they really arent paying for that, YOU ARE plus interest..... They just add a little to your bill but that small amount over time is going to come out to more than what you claimed...... So guys, i might not have great grammar or spelling, but at least im not soo stupid as to pay $150 for $100 worth of junk..... OP, maybe your house is worth more than the ipod??? Cause i think you can pick 'em up at walmart for $200 or so..... FYL, not because of the ipod or phone, but because your too busy to worry about your house and, potentially, the health and safety of the residents....

@23 Not only are you incredibly illiterate, as indicated by the way you type, you are also extremely stupid. I've read many of your posts on this site and can honestly say that you are lowering everyone's intelligence. Please smash your computer and/or iPod touch and forget that this site even existed. You would be doing us all a HUGE favor. Bye.

you need to focus on the bigger problem here: your CEILING is FULL of WATER. not that it damaged your precious iPod.

@schwinn11, that is the BEST idea ever! @OP, go get some of your useless crap like old electronics and drop them in that pile of busted electronics! Also, if you are renting the house, that is not your problem at all. Leave it to the landlord. If you own the house, and have horrible drainage, piping, etc. YDI for not getting the house inspected when you moved in.

What was your iPod doing on the ceiling!?

It was upstairs on the floor because she got on a chair and touched it.

Anytime Fernando.

How do you know it was upstairs, though, is what I'm curious about. Are there no longer options of having one story houses? Also, who leaves an iPod on the floor? I mean, they're not the greatest piece of technology in my opinion, but they aren't the cheapest, and from what I figure it'd be a pain to have to buy a new one. It could have easily been stepped on as well. Actually, that would have been ironic--if the iPod still worked after the ceiling pissed all over it, but then got stepped on out of ignorance.
