Today, my furnace and all of my heating systems broke down. A fridge is 3 degrees Celsius; it is now 2 degrees Celsius in my house. I would be warmer in my fridge. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I learned how to make my fridge colder. I felt that what it was set on felt a little warmer than normal, so I turned it down. Now everything in my fridge is frozen. FML
Today, my refrigerator defrosted itself. FML
Today, my heating broke. It's 22 degrees outside, and my father won't let us call someone to fix it because apparently the cold helps the soul grow. FML
Today, my mom wants to save money on both heating and electricity. Put into practice, this means that the temperature in my room is about the same as that in our fridge. FML
Today, after repairing the toilet, the light, the shower, the cooker and the heater in the flat I've just moved into, my boiler dies. It's mid December, about 1 degree outside. FML
Today, we're both sick, the heating hasn’t been working for 3 days, yet the repair company refuses to fix it because some technicality is not up to current regulations. Right on time, we’re also about to be hit by a cold spell, promising sub-zero temperatures. FML
Today, I was very cold and tired, so I took a shower to warm up and went to bed. The minute I hopped into bed, it collapsed and broke. I have spent half-an-hour rearranging furniture to get the mattress on to the floor. Now I'm cold again. FML
Today, I got a phone call to say my workplace was closed due to extreme weather conditions. Looking forward to my day off, I then realised the boiler was broken and my house has no heating despite there being a foot of snow outside. I'm spending the day in bed, wearing all my clothes. FML
Today, the lack of heating in my room has gotten to the point where I have to cuddle my clothes for the next day at night so they're not freezing when I wake up. FML
Today, during the worst flu we've ever had, my wife and I have to go out into thirty-below weather to get firewood because the furnace broke down. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Not at all impossible, Manon. I've been there. Three day power outage in the middle of winter. I could see my breath. The fridge, normally keeping cold in, kept the cold out during that time. I had to put stuff in my fridge to keep it from freezing.

Go buy some electric heaters and use that to heat your house. At least its a temporary solution. You can always return them as soon as your furnace is fixed as long as its within the return policy :)

That's impossible, unless you leave all your windows and doors open

Not impossible. Same thing happened to me a few years ago.

Ontario was freezing cold last night, so I don't doubt that the OP's house froze!

its not impossible.

It is if you have a properly insulated house. Even well below freezing my house would take days to drop that low even when it's really cold outside. Moral of the story: don't live in a cardboard house...

Completely possible. In some areas of Ontario (particularly up north around Hudson Bay), there are even polar bears. Areas further south have already reached temperatures of -30 Celsius.

Wow that's crazy! I'm from south Texas. I'm used to 115 degree weather most of the year. Heck anything below 60 requires a sweater for me!

Pull out your shelves in there, boxes, etc, and climb in. Alternatively, put on 3 layers of clothes and several blankets.

...Your house needs heaters to keep it warm? Wow, I can't imagine the bill. Where do you live? Antartica?! Because my house can run without the heaters and it's at normal temperature, I'm pretty sure all other houses run like that, too.

What bubble do you live in??? It is currently minus 30 Celsius here - I'm pretty sure I couldn't turn the heat off in my house and stay comfortable.

Seems to me the education system in Cali needs some work. Because if #13 is actually 14 years old like her profile says... That's way too old to not realize the climate where you live isn't the same as everywhere else.

it's probably a troll, or a very stupid 14 year old

I feel for you Kukua! Here nearly everday is pushing 40 degrees! And its muggy... But thats what you get living in this part of Australia!

I live in New England, and even with the space heaters on some parts of my house get to 40 Fahrenheit or below in the winter unless we have the central heat on. We *can* go without the heat (and do sometimes to save money) but it is not even remotely comfortable. I would have to guess that you live in a warmer climate than myself (or the OP).

I'm also from New England. I lived on CAPE COD (which for those of you who dont know, its surrounded by the ocean. In theory would keep the place warmer than most other parts of massachusetts/new england) My bedroom had no heat, and one morning I woke up with a glass of ice next to my bed. I spent the rest of the week downstairs until my mom bought me a space heater. I can't even imagine how cold it must be in other, less coastal and/or further north places. Where I am now though, is having an unusually warm winter, so that's alright.

I live on Cape Cod and it's actually been really nice so far this season. High 40's. Right now it's 16 degrees, though, lol. But it does get pretty frigid, especially with the wind chill, I can't imagine what it's like if it should be /warmer/ here, so I get what you mean, 51. OP: Damn. FYL. :3
