Today, my boyfriend took my car on a 3-day vacation, stranding me in our extremely rural town. I have a box of ziti, a jar of expired pickles, no cable or Netflix, and no water since the well ran dry. Why am I here? "Someone needs to stay with the dog and feed the cows." FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my girlfriend came over to talk. She just got back from a small vacation, and she'd asked me to feed her dogs while she was gone, so I did. I even stayed with them at times so they wouldn't get lonely. My girlfriend had come over to break up with me. She didn't do so earlier because she needed her dogs fed. FML
Today, my boyfriend and I went on a Snowshoeing date. I felt sick and suggested we turn back. He said I could wait in the car and continued on the date alone. He was gone for hours, while I was stuck alone in a national park with no cell reception, food, or water. FML
Today, after a week of not seeing each other, my boyfriend asked if he could come over and hang out. He only came because he ran out of food at his house. FML
Today, I had an all day volleyball tournament in a town an hour away. My dad left early, not realizing he was my ride home. I'm now stranded in the middle of a rural town with no way home anytime soon. FML
Today, while driving across country, my car broke down while in the middle of nowhere. I had it towed to a mechanic in the nearest town. While he fixed the car, I went to get lunch. The only restaurant in town was an old-fashioned drive-up diner. They wouldn't serve me because I wasn't in a car. FML
Today, as I was about to leave home for my first sweet taste of freedom at my new apartment, my car died. I'm stuck here for at least the weekend and can look forward to my mom driving me to work. Freedom. FML
Today, my boyfriend convinced me to take him 30 minutes away to meet his friends so he could go fishing, adding that they wouldn't be gone all night. I dropped him off 13 hours ago, and he doesn't have a phone. FML
Today, I found out my boyfriend cheated on me. We're in the middle of nowhere and have a 4-hour drive home. FML
Today, I returned from a week-long vacation. My landlord told me he had let my boyfriend in my apartment to get something. I don't have a boyfriend. Everything in my apartment is gone. FML
Today, my girlfriend broke up with me over the phone, after having left me to look after her dog while she went on a 2-week vacation with her family. Now I have to choose between paying for a kennel for her damn dog or taking care of it every day until she gets back. FML

Your boyfriend is a jerk and you might want to reconsider your relationship.

When he comes back, it'll be your turn to have the car. Might I suggest taking it on a one-way trip to wherever you can get away from the asshat?

What part of ‘extremely rural area’ would it be if they had access to Uber?

You can ride a cow to the next town and/or take the dog for a long walk and have the animal (s) carry some of the groceries. You could also rend a dozen movies and games and a videogame console. Better still, if you remember your boyfriend's credit card number, you can have the cable or a satellite dish installed while he's away and order a truckload of water, bath bombs, girlie drinks and snacks and throw yourself a little party while you're at it.

Seems that you watch a lot of cheese movies. “Ride a cow to next town”. Heeehaa

All you need is to find some hipster foodies who will pay through the nose for ziti-and-pickle-fed beef!

Wait, pickles can expire?

Pickles are good for yrs past expiration date if you don't see what looks like white slime floating in jar there still good,and isn't it your own responsibility to make sure you have supplies on hand I live in a rural area to and always have jug's of water and canned goods in pantry daaa 🤔🙄

He very likely left completely unannounced and therefore didn’t give her any time to get food or water before he left.
