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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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

Lies. With no power, the water pump and water heater wouldn't work so you couldn't take a shower. Plus, what kind of moron can't make lunch with a flashlight for light?

In flat land like here in south Louisiana, there is no need for power to pump water into a house. Water is pumped into tall water towers and gravity feeds the showers in houses.

Depends on where you live. In England and France, there is no such thing as a water pump to feed water to your house. OK, the water heater won't work if the power's out, but a cold shower isn't the worst thing in the world to live through. No need to shout out "Lies" and call people morons as though you're a worldwide authority on the matter.

For those saying it cant be dark in the morning here in Scotland at the moment its winter so sun rises at about 8:00am and sets at about 4:00pm I'm sure it can be the same in Canada.
