Today, I was in the shower 'grooming' myself for my second anniversary with my boyfriend. Halfway through the hot water ran out. I now have the choice of going with the low 'half-fro' or risking hypothermia. My boyfriend thinks hypothermia would be the better option. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my boyfriend turned down a shower with me because he didn't want to get his hair wet. FML
Today, due to plumbing issues, I had to choose between a goosebump-inducing cold or skin-blistering hot shower. This is the 7th day in a row. My husband says it shouldn't be more than another week before he "gets it figured out". FML
Today, I flushed the toilet while my boyfriend was showering. He responded by throwing a huge fit, saying how if he “gets a cold” from being “forced” to shower in cold water, I’m gonna “have to stay home and take care of him until he’s better.” FML
Today, my boyfriend pointed out that the water bill is getting kind of high. I suggested that we shower together to save water. He said he'd rather deal with the high water bill. FML
Today, my flatmate took his hour plus long shower while we both tried to get ready for work. I had a choice to wet myself or pee in a cooking pot. I chose the pot. FML
Today, the heating in my house broke down. I called my boyfriend and asked if I could stay at his place until I could get it fixed. He said no, and told me my overgrown leg hair would keep me warm. FML
Today, I passed out in the shower with my boyfriend. He just left me there. FML
Today, the water cut out while I was showering, covered in soap and shampoo. I had to rinse with freezing cold drinking water from the fridge. As soon as I'd dried off, the water supply got restored. FML
Today, I turned the shower on the hottest setting so it would warm up quickly. I started to sing and dance around the bathroom. I got too carried away and pelvic thrusted the water, which I hadn't turned back down. FML
Today, I had a planned 12-hour power cut for maintenance work, which I'd forgot all about. In need of a shower before work, I spent 45 minutes boiling pots of water on the stove to take a lukewarm, 6-inch deep bath, before realizing my water heater runs on natural gas and was working fine. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

maybe wait a few minutes for the water to heat up, or tell him to deal with it.

Okay, you are not going to get hypothermia from a cold shower. One week when my shower was being repaired my landlord had me using the attached townhouse next to me (which they also owned and was empty) to shower. There was no hot water, period. It was the middle of the winter, in Buffalo NY, and I had the flu. Also, since there was no electricity, I had to walk with wet hair next door back to my place. And I did not get hypothermia. So suck it up princess.

you won't get hyperthermia from having a cold shower plus if you rinse your hair with cold water after washing it your hair becomes soft and shiny.

You are right... you cannot get hyperthermia from a cold shower. You CAN get a FEVER that WILL BE fatal when your body core temp hits 108 degrees F.

hypothermia WOULD be the better option

your boyfriend sucks for wanting your vag to look like a 12 year olds.

do you really need to be in the shower to do this? and you can't get hypothermia from a cold shower. idiot. i've taken showers in freezing cold water and although it's not fun, nothing happens or you could just wait for the shower to heat back up and you should "groom" more often then YDI for being stupid and for all those who say it is "nasty" for her boyfriend to want it shaved: 1) some people genetically don't get body hair (rare, but it happens) 2) you could say "that's nasty that he wants it to look like a 99 year olds" if it were unshaved

You are a ******* idiot. Obviously YOU stayed about 10 minutes too long in that cold shower.

FarSide, I sincerely hope you're just trolling because your comments are damn retarded >.> Having a cold shower for the 3-5 minutes that it would take to finish the job that she has already started is not going to cause her harm, not considering she lives in Australia and its not actually cold here yet. ESPECIALLY considering she's in NSW and not like Tasmania or something, and over the past few days it's actually been pretty warm.

Actually, taking cold showers can be good for you health. It trains your immune system, and if you get out, you don't start freezing immediately. I always shower cold-hot-cold. Gets the circulation running. And to all people complaining about her bf's request: Sorry to spoil the fun, but the 80s are over. Some people just aren't into pubes sticking out between their teeth afterwards. =|

Boners comments are always the best.

It's also not impossible to shave without water. I've done it before. It's a little more painful, but it's better than 'getting hypothermia'. You're a pathetic ******* drama queen, OP.
