Today, it's been two days since my upstairs neighbour's toilet started flooding both our apartments. I have to go to the bathroom with an umbrella. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I woke up to a flooded apartment. Apparently, the upstairs neighbor's bathtub had overflowed and water was pouring through my ceiling. My landlord said he couldn't do anything until the water stopped, so I spent the morning frantically trying to mop up the water while feeling completely helpless. FML
Today, I'm stuck at home waiting on a plumber to come fix the flooding in my basement. The flooding happens when any sink, shower, or toilet in the house is used. Today is also the day that I started my period. Without water. FML
Today, my toilet decided it wouldn't take any more shit from me, and flooded the bathroom. FML
Today, the toilet on the top floor of my house burst, soaked the bathroom, and water dripped down into the kitchen and the basement for hours when nobody was home. Eight blowers and a dehumidifier later, the house is about 90 degrees and I can't leave. FML
Today, my neighbour decided to get high while leaving his bathtub running, resulting in passing out and starting a flood in the hallways. FML
Today, a cyclone hit my city. Though everywhere else is flooding, my house is fine. Well, that was until the toilet decided to overflow and regurgitate the entire town's sewerage. So now my only bathroom is covered in sewage, and I can't go anywhere else because of the flooding. FML
Today, I found out that my toilet leaked into the apartment's ceiling downstairs and it's going to cost over $2000 to fix the ceiling and the clear all of the mould out. I have two different types of insurance and neither of them are likely to cover it. FML
Today, I went to the place I signed for yesterday to pay the first month's rent and get my keys. I looked around before I left, and used the toilet. I went back later to show my boyfriend and found the place flooded an inch with water coming from the toilet. It had been flooding for 7 hours. FML
Today, my entire region received record rainfall, with torrential downpours all day and night. Today was also the day I discovered my car's sunroof leaks, when I was greeted with two inches of standing water in my floorboards. FML
Today, I came home from my aunt's funeral to find my basement flooded due to a sewer backup. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Might as well put down the umbrella and take a shower while you're at it. :) gross

Maybe it's OK for the liquids, but it your umbrella sturdy enough to withstand the droppings? A failure during an aerial bombardment would be . . . pretty shitty.

Would have been pretty pungent if you ask me! (referencing your reference) ;)

Maybe the guy upstairs was peeing on his girlfriend's legs while they were in the shower.

This sounds like a Mr.Bean movie.

Then I'd say you need to think twice about where you're choosing to reside, #18

I was referring to the umbrella in particular, no need to get so heavy. I am more than aware of the fact that flooding happens.

I don't really get why you're being thumbed down and challenged... I agree. Mr. Bean wouldn't be at all out of place in this scenario.

That sounds like something Meowth would say.

As much as I love the same puns over and over in these comments, I'd like more than one person offer a solution.. They should turn their water off. Especially if its flooding their apartment... Let alone two apartments.

Why have you let this go on for 2 days? The landlord or building management should have been notified immediately. I'm guessing they weren't since it is still going on and they would take care of it immediately since the longer it goes on, the more damage is being done.

You'd think that they'd rush to fix it wouldn't you? Honestly not every landlord is nice enough to care. When any kind of thing happens in my apartment that needs fixed ASAP I basically have to threaten my landlord to get it done. There are a lot of scumlords out there.

Let your neighbour see your toilet.

Isn't that a breach of lease? Lol

That's an entertaining visual. Although a sucky situation. Try talking to your landlord. It's their responsibility to find a way to get things fixed.
