Today, I washed one of my roommates t-shirts. I forgot to remove it before putting it in the dryer, and all the print on the front melted off. It was a gift from his girlfriend. Who has just passed away. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I threw all my clothes into the washer, including my favorite red hoodie. Apparently, I forgot a Kleenex in one of the pockets. I now own a wardrobe of pink, soggy tissue confetti-covered gunk. FML
Today, after waking up to a spilled bottle of juice on my clothes, I heard my ex died. Whilst baking cookies to distract myself, I melted my work laptop on the toaster. FML
Today, I washed my clothes in the shared laundry room. All my clothes came out smelling like smoke. FML
Today, I was laughing at a story of a girl who had dropped her cellphone in a hottub and ruined it. As I was feeling pretty good about myself, I then realized that my cellphone was in the pocket of a sweater that I had just thrown in the washer 20 minutes prior. FML
Today, my boyfriend gave me a gift. A half-used bottle of body lotion that belonged to his dead wife. FML
Today, I returned a friend's jacket after borrowing it. I made sure to wash it and keep it clean. When he went to put it on, a pair of my granny panties fell out of the sleeve. FML
Today, I thought I was clever for doing my laundry while multitasking and making dinner. When I went to transfer my clothes from the washer to the dryer, I discovered that I'd accidentally washed a pack of gum that was in my pocket. The gum had melted into my favorite shirt, and I now have a sticky mess to deal with. FML
Today, my girlfriend caught me using my T-shirt as a tissue. Again. FML
Today, after recently breaking up with my boyfriend, I unknowingly washed my laundry using his washing tabs. My whole wardrobe now smells like my ex. FML
Today, I was drying my duvet and pillows in the dryer. Apparently, one of the pillows was memory foam, which I was not aware of. It caught on fire due to the heat and nearly burned down my laundry room. FML

Gotta love people like #53 who crave attention so they post at #1 so people can see his comment on the top.

Why did you wash it without his permission? That's kind of an automatic YDI right there, even though you were trying to be helpful.

Who said it was without permission?

I'm leaning towards this train of thought... besides, washing other people's clothes is always a no-no, especially when there are things that need special attention. Someone will ALWAYS be at fault when people switch off.

who says it was without permission? When you've lost someone close it's normal to ask a friend to do some errands for you until you get yourself together. That's probably that the OP was doing, especially since she's his roommate and they're already living at the same place.

How can you not see that cleaning someone elses cloths is a helpful favor?!? Who gives 'permission' to have cloths cleaned?!?! Do you give your mom 'permission' to clean each item of your cloths, week after week?!?!? Actually, there's not enuff info to vote on this one. If the special shirt was in a pile of dirty cloths, it's on him. If OP picked it up from it's own location, then it's on her - and it would be a FHL 'cause she feels sooo bad (I'm detecting that many of you can't grasp that concept).

#44... it's not necessarily a "favor." I HATE it when other people wash my clothes, and not taking good care of my clothes is just one reason why. They use the wrong detergent, they add fabric softener, they don't care if they drop the clean clothes on the floor in between the washer and dryer, they add dryer sheets, or THEY PUT CLOTHING IN THE DRYER THAT DOESN'T BELONG IN THE DRYER, like the OP did. It's possible that the friend gave the OP standing permission to wash his clothes in this case, but you can't say "it's a favor, you don't need permission" because that's just not true.

gotta agree with #3's comments, unless you're the one who does everyones laundry as a chore or something, you shouldn't be doing your room mates laundry. YDI.

Yeah, I guess it sucks, but at least your friend still has the shirt even without the letters.
