Today, I realized just how lonely I am when I started singing and harmonizing with the vacuum cleaner. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

Today, I was alone in the kitchen doing the dishes, and I started singing along to my favorite song when it came on my playlist. However, unbeknownst to me, my neighbors were having a barbecue next door, and they cheered and applauded when I'd finished. I’m never singing again. FML

Lost in music
Today, I wore noise-canceling headphones while cleaning my apartment. Apparently I'd been singing at the top of my lungs for nearly an hour, because my neighbor knocked on my door just to ask if everything was OK. FML

Today, I was vacuuming our house because I wanted to help my parents. I wore a headset while listening to REALLY loud music. The vacuuming job took me two hours and when I took of my headset I noticed that I hadn't started the vacuum cleaner. FML

Today, I realized that my baby stops crying loudly whenever I turn on the vacuum cleaner. I'm either stuck with a fussy baby all day, or the roaring sound of a vacuum cleaner. FML

"If I could turn back time…"
Today, I came into work early to clean equipment, with my headphones on, singing to myself. I lost track of time, and wound up with the entire office watching me belt tunes out. FML

Today, I was home alone and I started to sing Halo by Beyonce. I was starting to get into it and began singing with more passion until the phone rang. It was my neighbor begging me to please shut the hell up. FML

Today, thinking I was alone in a public bathroom, I started singing the words to my favorite song. A minute later that I heard a toilet flush, so I just sat there petrified. The other person sarcastically picked up the singing from where I left off. FML

Today, I was feeling lonely, so I turned on my Roomba for some "company." Five minutes in, it got stuck under the couch and started crying for help. Now I’m comforting an appliance because I feel bad for mistreating it. I need therapy. FML

Home alone
Today, I was home alone, blasting music, dancing in my underwear, singing into a wooden spoon. I turned around mid-performance to see my landlord standing in the kitchen. I’d forgotten about the maintenance appointment I'd scheduled. FML

Today, my roommate eavesdropped on me singing. When I realized he was there, he said I was "fucking incredible" and asked me to do another song. There's just one issue: I only sing well when I'm alone. The result was predictably bad. If it was possible to literally die of embarrassment, I wouldn't be writing this. FML

That's not that bad, that's great vocal practice and a good way to keep yourself in key.

I actually do this too, but mostly just because it annoys my sisters and its not really singing just making a sound similar to the vacuum.

Your singing must suck.

Maybe the vacuum is just a really good singer!

Hey, at least you have a friend! Judy don't move away and leave him behind, or else you're vacuum cleaner and your toaster are gonna have to go on a long and dangerous journey to find you.

If your singing harmonizes with a vacuum cleaner, I think I might know why you're so lonely.

That's not so bad - in fact, it's a good sign! At least that's the only thing you're doing with your vacuum cleaner. For now.

I do that all the time. It makes such a consistent pitch, I just feel like I have to. That doesn't make me lonely...it's just that I love singing :D

It sounds like the vacuum cleaner is lonely as well. It sounds like a disney in the making.
