Today, I received a bill for damage to my old apartment. The same damage caused by the maintenance guy when he came to fix the pipes about a week before I left. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, the maintenance man 'fixed' a leak in my apartment by flooding the place. FML
Today, my landlord refused to send a plumber over to unclog the sink. Now he wants me to pay for water damages because he didn't call a plumber sooner. FML
Today, I woke up to a fog. Literally. A pipe burst in my apartment and scalding water was everywhere. To make matters worse, when I called maintenance he told me he'd come by later, hung up on me, and turned his phone off. He did eventually show up, but it was 5 hours later, well after I'd paid a plumber $200. FML
Today, I came home from work to find my house was flooded from a broken pipe under the sink. My house had just recently had new wood floors, carpet and electrics installed because 6 months earlier my house had been flooded by the same pipe breaking. FML
Today, I found out the electric bill I have been paying was on my old house. I found this out when they shut off the power to my house. FML
Today, I woke up to a repairman at my door who was simply supposed to turn my water back on in my apartment. Two hours and 5 repairmen later, all I have now is a large hole in my ceiling. Still no water. FML
Today, workers came to my house to fix residual moisture damage in my walls left behind by Hurricane Irma. Said workers then burst a water pipe and flooded my entire apartment in the time it took figure out how to turn it off. FML
Today, after months of delays, my home renovation is nearing completion. Well, it was nearing completion. Last night, a pipe burst, flooding the entire house. The water damage will cost more to repair than the entire renovation. FML
Today, my crew was called out to do some house maintenance. We were nearly done, when someone had the goddamned fucking brilliant idea of washing plaster off their hands in the kitchen sink, which clogged the pipes. Instead of getting paid, we now owe for damages. FML
Today, after months of telling my landlord about the weak floorboards in my living room, I fell through them as I was trying to repair them myself. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

17, since you are copying him, you obviously thought it was funny enough to do the same thing. So shut the **** up.

KaySL is a beast!

I was mocking him, which means I thought he was funny? I would like to see the logic behind this.

25, you seem like a cool kid. however, learn this now, NEVER argue with KaySL. she will burn holes in the side of your brain with her words.

KaySL is a stupid bitch. Telling off a twelve year old kid, you make me laugh. Why are you on FML trying to embarass others that may not be as intelligent as you might be? Oh my, you're so cool now you got a dumb blonde supporting you too! Dumbass.

30, I'm rather concerned about you. I recommend a doctor visit. perhaps a colonoscopy. we all would like to know what that object is that's shoved so far up your ass.

Missbunny: Thabb wasn't trying to argue with KaySL, to my understanding.

33 yeah, I realized that after I had already posted. it wouldn't let me post a correction. my bad, Thabb

Cool =D

Don't tell me to get a doctor because I'm sure as hell I don't need one. Thanks for the recommendation though! As far as I'm concerned, you need a grammar teacher. Shit, you were close to writing a paragraph with that many misplaced periods thrown around. May I say dumb blonde? I think yes!
KiddNYC1O 22
Although I agree: Don't argue with Kay.

37, don't go grammar nazi on me, bitch. you're clearly pissed because you got owned by KaySL and I. go back to your cave where you belong, you disgusting animal.

I had to deal with a similar incident once, so now I take pictures of the before and after of any work done on my apartment by maintenance, then I report the damage as soon as it's done. I hope it all works out for you.

my parents were charged $5000 in damage at our last place, including "damages" to the blinds that we installed and paid for, and a crack in the driveway from the moving truck being to heavy

Always document so you have proof. Sucks to be you.

I'm sure the landlord did not appreciate a glory hole being installed in your bedroom. I personally think its a stroke of genius and will be doing some DYI this weekend.

Pro tip: Pictures my friend, take pictures/ dates etc next time, they hold up very well in the court of law.

Calling yourself "the maintenance guy" will not get you out of this bill. It will also not get you to "fix the pipes" for the 14-year-old chick that lives three doors over, so take it from me and stop wasting your time.

if you can't get out of paying the bill, then just make sure you keep a spare key, once you've payed the bill break in to the house, **** it up beyond belief, and then quietly leave and go on with your life

did u recommend breaking into ur own house with a spate key
