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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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?

Set the couch on fire. If he lets it burn, he's truly spiritual.

It's just enough to harm someone living in it for extended periods of time. How can living in an enviroment where the it's below freezing point possibly good for something that's almost completely made of water?

Your father is just being cheap. Call someone anyway. In fact, call the most expensive person you can find. That will really stick it to him.

My house doesn't have heating, And it often gets below 0*F where I live. It's really not that bad.

who pays for the heating and the broken pipes?

Yeah, that's my question, too. 20 degrees is survivable for an extended period with warm clothes and blankets. But, tonight when it drops ten to twenty degrees further, you're going to have some burst pipes and flooding. The alternative being not having water, which on average is more likely to kill you than build character in the long run.

They don't break. The pipes are properly insulated, so cold temps don't freeze them. Seriously, these temperatures don't kill you. I and my roommates have been through multiple winters without heating in below freezing weather. Water freezes in my room. Also, we have no hot water. Stop whining.

Kinda sounds like the crew leader I had to work under at one welding job that in the winter he would always bitch at us for being cold...and then yell 'The heat's in the tools!!' I hated working there when it would get to be 5 degrees outside. :|
