Today, my kitchen is flooded, and according to my landlord, this is normal, because it rained last night. Funny, I thought the purpose of a roof was to stop water from getting in. Guess I was wrong. Silly me. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I woke up to a flooded apartment. Apparently, the upstairs neighbor's bathtub had overflowed and water was pouring through my ceiling. My landlord said he couldn't do anything until the water stopped, so I spent the morning frantically trying to mop up the water while feeling completely helpless. FML
Today, I came home to my bed and most of my room soaking wet. This morning, my mom thought it would be "smart" to warm up my room by opening the skylight above my bed. There were heavy showers all day today. FML
Today, I found out that the peaceful rain I'd been listening to all night was really a broken water-main flooding my entire yard. FML
Today, the maintenance man 'fixed' a leak in my apartment by flooding the place. FML
Today, the weather man announced that today's forecast will include heavy rain and hail in my city. Normally, this wouldn't be a big deal. However, my house has no roof at the moment. FML
Today, I came home to a flooded apartment and water still pouring from the ceiling. The woman who lives above me is shocked that I would consider her responsible for the damage and doesn't think she should have to pay for it. FML
Today, I got stuck with a water-damaged kitchen. The manufacturer says their warranty doesn't cover it as it's a user error, my insurance says they don't cover it as it's a manufacturer error. FML
Today, it's raining at my work. Not outside, inside, because our building's boiler broke and all the pipes are dripping with condensation. I have to sit at my desk under an umbrella to protect my laptop and desk phone. The HVAC company said, "Don't worry, this is normal." FML
Today, when it started raining, I remembered that I'd left my kitchen windows open. I hurried to close them, but slipped in a huge puddle and slid into the wall, making a huge hole in it with my knee. FML
Today, my entire region received record rainfall, with torrential downpours all day and night. Today was also the day I discovered my car's sunroof leaks, when I was greeted with two inches of standing water in my floorboards. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

No, how could you be so mistaken? The purpose of a roof is for protecting basilisks, he who should not be named, an other demonic forces from crossing over into the mortal world.

My roof only protects me from the Government stealing my grandma's cookie recipe.

Agreed. What kind if landlord would have a roof looking like Swiss cheese. That's the laziest maintenance I've ever heard. FYL indeed.

i thought the roof is for higher ground so you have a better view for when you want to peg your neighbour's face with water balloons . . . i guess im wrong

The hole was big enough that your kitchen flooded, but yet you hadn't noticed anything wrong?

57 it doesn't need to be a giant gaping hole in the roof for it to leak, do you even know how leaks happen?

Think before you comment. Someone said they hear a lawsuit coming, and of course someone was bound to mention Americans suing a lot, which, by some miracle didn't happen

I always thought it was "brown chicken, brown cow." That's what Farmer Dave used to yell at me whenever I bent over in front of him.

stole is the past tense of steal
catatonicsleep 17
isn't the past tense in this case 'stolen'... 'the government have stolen it', stole would only be if you were talking about yourself 'i stole it'
