Today, I realized how tiny my apartment is, when I was able to vacuum from bedroom to bathroom through the living room without switching the power outlet from the one in the kitchen. I pay a fortune to live in this shoebox. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I finally finished vacuuming my downstairs. Instead of finding the wall outlet and unplugging the vacuum, I triumphantly tugged the cord from across the room to release the plug from the wall. It flew at me at top speed and hit me in the face. FML
Today, I walked into my bedroom and realized I really needed to clean it. As I started to pick everything up off of the floor, I tripped over a shoe, slipped on a water bottle, pulled down my shoe rack, and landed in my armoire. My room is now dirtier than it was when I started. FML
Today, I took a good look, and I mean a really good look around the house and I realized that if I simply threw away all my wife’s useless crap she bought and hasn’t used in years, or even unwrapped from the plastic, we could probably move into a smaller, cheaper house. FML
Today, I got round to organizing my apartment, sorting everything into boxes and shelves. However, due to my arbitrary sorting method, I now can't find everyday things because they're not in their usual place (in a clutter on my desk), including the charger cable I used five minutes ago. My place looks organized. My life does not. FML
Today, I saw the blueprints for my family's new house. My room is half the size of the room next to it. The room next to it is my step mom's walk-in closet. FML
Today, I wanted to clean my house. Of course the vacuum cleaner got stuck behind furniture multiple times. After the fifth time or so, I gave it a good pull. Now my vacuum cleaner is broken and the socket is off the wall. FML
Today, after a month of living in a pigsty of an apartment with my roommates, I spent the day cleaning the place out. When everyone returned home, instead of thanking me, all they could do was point out the spots I'd missed. FML
Today, with words of encouragement from my mom, I vacuumed my room. After finishing and admiring my job well done, I went to put the vacuum away. It caught on the plug for my electric razor which was dangling below the dresser and yanked that and everything else that was on top of it off. FML
Today, I finally moved into my own flat - no family, nor messy flatmates. Should be great, except for the fact that I'm so short, I have to climb onto the counter in the kitchen any time I want to reach my shelves. Like a child. I'm going to break my fucking neck. FML
Today, I realized that my flatmate showers so little that the furniture she uses smells like BO. FML

You're paying for the luxury of not having to switch power outlets. You know how bothersome that is? And how costly it is to provide?

It can also mean that you have a very long cord which is a good thing do you don't have to keep moving outlets

Your paying a luxury of not having to waste too much time doing mundane tasks such as cleaning your house. At least I get paid to clean and do anything to not keep changing PowerPoint (in one building I'm looking at using anywhere up to 5 power points whilst using a vacuum with a 10+ meter long cord.

FYL OP. But hey, it could still be worse: I only have to use a DustBuster to vacuum my 9m2 "appartment" and can barely fit it in my closet (although it isn't that expensive as such, it is for me). Luckily, my boyfriend and I are moving in together soon to a more comfortable 65m2 :-)

I know the feeling! Just moved out of an apartment the same size I was paying almost $700 for. Just recently moved to a 2 bedroom. A bit bigger but $1000/month! The joys of living 20 min from an army base!
