Today, I woke up to find my power was out. After taking a shower in the dark and being unable to make myself lunch, my power came on two minutes before I had to leave for school. FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, as I was shampooing my hair in the shower, the power went out. Since my house has well water, no power means no water. FML
Today, the power went out. Thankfully, it was early in the morning so I should've been able to sleep through it. Then I realized I have an impossible time sleeping during power outages. FML
Today, there was a power outage at my apartment. I ended up deciding that the power wasn't going to come on any time soon, and that I should go to a hotel for the night. Just after I unpacked at the hotel, my neighbor called to say the power had come back. FML
Today, a strong storm knocked the power out at our office. I was dismissed five hours early, had my desk locked up and was walking toward the doors to leave when the power came back on. FML
Today, the power went out at school. If it's out for more than twenty minutes, standard procedure is to let us go home. They came back on almost nineteen minutes later. FML
Today, I woke up to go to school. I was unbelievably tired, but I gathered the courage to go take my shower. I then took a long shower, cleaned up my room, got dressed, and ate breakfast. Going back to my room, I looked at the clock, which read 3:22 AM. FML
Today, my power went out due to a huge snow storm. I was in desperate need of candles and flashlights. I had to walk to the store since the roads were closed. I walked 4 miles in the blizzard. When I got home, the power came back on. FML
Today, I'm staying in a hotel. The power went out while I was having a shower. So I waited for it to come back on, until an announcement came over the fire alarm, "Due to generating failure, the power will be off for the rest of the night. Sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused, and have a good night." FML
Today, I was doing an online live exam with the camera on when the power suddenly went out. FML
Today, I had a really good day out just to come home right before the electricity company closed for the day, to find out my payment hadn’t gone through and they'd turned it off. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I think your school finds it a proper excuse why you were late if you didn't make it in the end. It sounds like the black out wasn't only in your house so they can even look it up if it is that horrible your late

**** that I wouldve been late...it's one thing to have to put up with the bitch of a math teacher that's old, hates her job, hates kids, hates her life, never gets any, and has decided to take it out on you...but to put up with her on an empty stomach...no sir.

he was making a lunch to take to school and yeah water providers usually have generators so they can't keep water coming to your house unless you like use a well stupid Amish (this is sarcasm just to warn the trolls that lurk on the FML boards)
cowycal 4
He was making a lunch before taking it to school because he's not a fatass American that goes to McDonalds everyday.
seanreddog 4
Because he made his lunch automatically means he/she's healthy and I eat at McDonalds? GTFO you ignorant bigot.
xalerion 0

(sarcasm for all the trolls out there, but seriously, take a chill pill will ya? we supply most of your GDP so be content with the fatass Americans that stimulate and put money into your economy and keep your disrespectful and rude comments in that tiny head of yourn please)

you are retarded @55. first of all... we have candles. second of all, showers is plumming, not electrical. just like in America.
seanreddog 4
It's called a joke. Obviously the op wasn't aware of this candle thing or there would be no FML...

#123 it takes electricity to run the water pump that makes the water go through the pipes.
amerrah 4
thats what windows are for. i doubt you live in a windowless house/apartment.

#130, I don't think apathy is the word you are looking for... #135, I don't know if that's true for your home but it's definitely not true for mine and apparently not true for OP, either.
