Today, my housemate revealed her supposed loss of function of her arm was all a lie. I spent hours in the ER with her and had to go to work the next day. Last time she lied about cancer. I'm stuck sharing with her for another 7 months. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my friend (she's 14) said she had lung cancer. This made me and my other friend very worried for her, but now we know she was faking it since when she was "at the hospital" she was at a friend's house, and her mom came to the school to confirm she was faking the whole thing. FML
Today, my girlfriend's best friend told me she was in hospital after having made a suicide attempt. In shock, I had a panic attack and ended up in the hospital myself. Turns out it was all a lie to see whether or not I was committed to the relationship. FML
Today, I agreed to help a "friend" again, after only finding out yesterday she'd been lying to me. FML
Today, I found out my husband was faking his leg injury. I caught him out and about walking just fine, hand in hand with another woman. I’ve been caring for him, holding down the bills, and taking him to an "at home" chiropractor for the past 7 months. FML
Today, my best friend of 12 years traveled cross country to help me recover from major surgery. I've been sitting in the hospital by myself while she has sex in my empty apartment with some guy she met. FML
Today, my roommate told me that I have to find a new place to live because I make his new girlfriend uncomfortable. I just had surgery and am bedridden. FML
Today, after I'd spent $3,000 dollars in preparations to move in with my girlfriend of 2 and 1/2 years, she confessed she's a mental patient who stole someone else's identity. She was telling the truth. FML
Today, I saw a Facebook post from my mom about my cancer, how she’s exhausted caring for me, and quit her job to be by my side, blah blah blah. The woman hasn’t set foot in my house in 11 months after I got a restraining order against her, and my "cancer" is a mole I’m getting removed next week. FML
Today, I visited my ex-girlfriend's house. I saw her mother and asked, "Hi! Have you recovered from that nasty cold that you had for so long?" She said, "I don't have a cold," to which I smiled and said, "That's great to hear!" Turns out she has lung cancer instead. FML
Today, I found out my roommate was exposed to COVID back on New Year's. She tested positive on the 4th and was scared too tell me because she, "didn't want me to see her as irresponsible." Now I can't work for 2 weeks and need to find a place to stay because my roommate still doesn't think it's "that serious." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Put a lock on your bedroom door and tell her the story about the boy who cried wolf.

And when she has a real health crisis, you’ll ignore her and then she’ll die. Then, you’ll have the house all to yourself. Yay!

Next time call 911 give her an Uber card and lock your door. Frankly I'd ask the landlord to let me out of the lease or if crazy is the landlord take her to court and find a new room to rent. I would have been pissed and told the nurse to put her on Psych ward

Next time just say you're severely allergic to bullshit.

Your flatmate is very needy.

I'm assuming you guys aren't from the US because those are some expensive lies.

People who lie about being sick aren’t the type of people who care about paying their medical bills. They may even try to milk it enough to get others to chip in with their expenses.

On the bright side you do not need to take her to the ER or doctors any more.

Now you know what a piece of work she is, ignore her. Next time she calls for help tell her to call someone who actually cares. Make sure your room is looked at all times though, liars are usually also thieves.

As someone who battled cancer 16 years ago and almost died twice, cancer is NEVER a thing you joke about! How horrid! Though I will admit a bad hair day is better than a no hair day. I would get her evaluated by a psychiatrist for Münchausen's: mental illness in which a person repeatedly acts as if he or she has a physical or mental disorder when, in truth, he or she has caused the symptoms. Münchausen syndrome is a mental illness associated with severe emotional difficulties.

Don't take her serious next time...

Well, now that you know she fakes illnesses, the next time she complains, you can ignore her.
