Today, my apartment building shut off our water for a short period of time because the pipes were being worked on. It was also the morning my dog had diarrhea on my cream carpet. Not only did I have to clean it up without water, I couldn't wash my hands afterward. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, we had to turn the water off due to a massive leak in the kitchen sink that the plumber was currently fixing. I managed to wait two hours before my uncooperative digestive tract said it couldn't wait any longer and I had to take a mega dump in the bathroom. I couldn't flush the toilet or wash my hands. FML
Today, my apartment management notified me that my water was going to be shut off all day so they could fix the plumbing. I took a laxative last night. FML
Today, I found out that a water pipe at my work had burst over the weekend. There is absolutely no water in the building, including the bathrooms. It's a 9-hour day, and I took a laxative this morning before I came in. FML
Today, my neighbour's boiler broke and flooded his home. To solve the problem, the water company shut off the neighbourhood's water supply while they fixed his boiler. I am now unable to shower, and I smell like a zoo animal. FML
Today, my dog threw up on my bed while I was sleeping. I lost an hour of the day washing the vomit out with a rag, and my garbage disposal jammed on whatever otherworldly things my dog ate the day before. I had to dig it out by hand. FML
Today, the water cut out while I was showering, covered in soap and shampoo. I had to rinse with freezing cold drinking water from the fridge. As soon as I'd dried off, the water supply got restored. FML
Today, at work I had to spend two hours cleaning up stinky toilet water. Why? Because yesterday, I forgot to turn on the septic tank pumps. The tank overflowed, and so did all the toilets. My boss is not happy. FML
Today, while apartment hunting with my boyfriend, I needed to use the bathroom. We were on our own and no toilet paper. Fortunately I carry wipes with me, because I had to more than just pee. All was fine, until I tried to flush and realized the water was turned off. The next person will get quite the surprise. FML
Today, I woke up on the coldest morning of the year to discover that the gas fireplace has run out of propane, and there is no water because the pipes are frozen. While trying to locate the frozen pipe, I forgot to let the dog out, and she peed on the carpet. FML
Today, I got a call from the Sheriff's dept. saying that water was coming out my front door. I ran home to find a waterfall cascading over my covered parking. It turns out my puppy had chewed through the hose that connects the toilet to the water. My entire condo had an inch of standing water. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

You can't really train for diarrhea. They aren't able to hold it.

I thought it was a given that just about everyone has bottled water or even a jug of tap water in the fridge. If not, you could have gone out and bought a gallon for under a dollar :)

Who says they didn't? You're still supposed to wash your hands after you go to the bathroom and you don't just use your hand. You must not be one who washes theirs.

They still could have use disposable gloves or if they didn't have any old gloves you can throw away

Maybe they did use gloves. That doesn't mean they shouldn't wash their hands afterward.

YDI for not using the water in the toilet bowl and toilet tank. You fail as a boy scout.

That's why there's something called chemicals, oh! And hand sanatizer . Or another idea would be drive to the store and get some water. problem solved .

Exactly. Gloves or not, you should STILL wash your hands. And in a diarrhoea situation, I strongly doubt hand sanitiser would be sufficient. I know I would still wash my hands, even if sanitiser were available (and that also assumes the OP isn't allergic to sanitiser). Too many variables to blame OP for this one.

I find it odd that your building didn't warn you ahead of time. YDI if you knew and then didn't fill up you bathtub with emergency water.

Also there's the water in the toilet tank.. and most people have some sort of bottled water.

#1 you are retarded. if you were locked in somewhere without a bathroom and had the squirts you'd shit all over the carpet just like the dog.

that's what you get for having a dog when you live in an apartment. dogs are the worst pet for apartments.

I have a dog and I live in an apartment. I think it works out pretty well.

I also have a dog in an apartment. It's called taking them for walks.

I have a new puppy in an apartment (he's 7weeks so has minimal bowel control) it's not so bad as we've trained him on puppy pads and he mostly knows to go on them, I don't doubt if he had diarrhoea it'd be a different matter, but we do move to a house in 3 weeks so hopefully I'll never have to find out :)

just because you live in a house doesn't mean your dog won't shit on the carpet.
