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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, like always, my parents are such tightwads that they refused to turn the heating system on, despite the ball-freezing temperatures. I was so cold, I had to resort to warming my hands up over the toaster. FML
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
Today, the heating in my house broke down. I called my boyfriend and asked if I could stay at his place until I could get it fixed. He said no, and told me my overgrown leg hair would keep me warm. 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, my parents went on holiday, finally, and since I’m always freezing I took the opportunity to actually turn up the temperature on the boiler. Not 30 seconds later my dad called pissed and told me either I turn it back down or he’s coming home from Spain to kick my ass. FML
Today, my window got busted and won't shut properly. I live in a college dorm room and maintenance says they can't fix it for a couple of days. It's below freezing in my dorm and I can see my breath while trying sleep. 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, my mom made me go shopping with her. It was freezing out, but she didn't wear a coat, boasting that she doesn't feel the chill like I do. By the time we drove home she was whining about freezing to death, and now I'm stuck in a house whose heating is set to "inferno". FML
Today, I can't get my heat to turn off. It is currently 87 degrees Fahrenheit in my house, and my heat is running non-stop. It's about 20 degrees outside with over a foot of snow on the ground, so a repairman can't come out to fix it. My electricity bill will be about $1000. 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?

That's horrible! Why doesn't he get the heater fixed? If he wants some cold for his soul he can go outside instead of making hix entire family suffer.

Thats a good way to freeze your pipes and cause a huge problem! Your father is a moron.

Leaving your house in freezing temperatures can cause pipes to break which can lead to even more serious damages.

Buy a space heater without your father seeing it. Pretend to get pissed off and stomp off to your room. Close the door, fire that sucker up, and relax in comfort. He'll have to pay for it when the electric bill comes due, but that's his problem, not yours.

OP was talking about Fahrenheit. 22 degrees Celcius is pretty much perfect room temperature.

Wha..? Weird dad. Also, Fahrenheit is stupid. 32 for freezing, 212 for boiling? **** that, 0-100 range, please.

FYI..in the US we do use celsius ( as well as the metric system) in school; all students learn both systems these days. So we know it. Neither one of them are really that complicated.

It is about -10 to -20 here every night and I don't have any heat in my room. So yeah, I know it sucks.

Nietzsche said, "That which does not kill me makes me stronger." So, your soul will either grow or ascend to heaven. Read the Jack London story, "To Build a Fire." That'll help.

K...it's pretty annoying how a bunch of people are complaining about it being colder than 22 degrees where they live. If you have heat on, you really can't compare. And OP, lol at your dad being a cheapass.
