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

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?

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

Hey, you're lucky you woke up. Not until recently did I finally put a backup battery in my alarm clock, so I would have been screwed if that would have happened.

You're an idiot, You think I'm retarded because I called him retarded for thinking you couldn't take a shower without electricity when infact you can if you have plumbing, I was never saying that you ONLY have plumbing, I was responding to say that it's still possible to shower without electricity.

I've showered with water out of a canteen. And changed in the dark many times. I've even changed in the dark in my sleeping bag in the field, want to trade?

Well that sucks but at least it came back on. I had an ice storm a couple of years ago and was without power for a week. Thank God I had a generator, but still. Be grateful that the power came back at all, and that you managed to shower. And now you can make lunch! Sounds like you're crying over spilled milk.

My power went out for 40 hours one time, and I live a few minutes from Dallas. Stop your bitching. You have no idea what it's like to run out of batteries, lack internet, denied television, and dead phones for about two days. Feels so isolated that even a caveman could do it. **** TXU. Lazy bastards.

you obviously have a cell phone you could have checked for the time. nice try. I have no sympathy.AND if you showered and ate what else did you have to do to get ready? and why would you go to school around lunch time?
