Today, my new roommate woke me up at noon to bitch about my "selfish sleeping habits" and how they ruin her ability to invite anyone over. I work the graveyard shift at the hospital. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my roommate gets up at 3:30am for work and wakes me up each time. I try not to complain about it, but whenever I come back to the apartment at midnight, she gets mad that I woke her up. I told her that she wakes me up in the morning, but apparently that’s different because she’s going to work. FML
Today, I started my new shift schedule. They run on the policy: "Early is on time, on time is late." My shift starts at 6 in the morning. It's now 11pm and my wife called me a selfish bastard for asking her to get off Whatnot so I can sleep. FML
Today, my roommate set her extremely loud alarm clock for 5am and continued to hit the snooze button every ten minutes until 7:30. FML
Today, my roommate's extremely loud and obnoxious alarm went off six times, waking me up each time, before she finally gave up on hitting the snooze button and went back to sleep for good. FML
Today, I clocked into work completely exhausted despite having gone to bed early. My roommates stayed up until 4am watching a movie, blasting music, and constantly giggling like madwomen. This is their "new and improved" schedule. FML
Today, my roommate is rampaging in the house at 1:00 a.m. because her stuff was moved out of the pantry for the new person, after being asked several times to move it herself. Apparently, she didn't see the text message heads-up, because she refuses to use her phone as a source of connection. FML
Today, my roommate told me there is some restricted number that keeps calling and waking her up at odd hours of the night. She then says she's getting the police involved to find out who it is because she feels "harassed". I'm the restricted caller calling to wake her up from snoring so loud. FML
Today, my new roommate, who seemed to get along with me just fine up until now, has requested to switch to a different room. Apparently, I was making racist comments in my sleep. FML
Today, I'm working 12-hour overnight shifts for the next three days. My fiancee can't seem to grasp the concept of sleeping during the day, and keeps coming into the bedroom and telling me to stop being lazy. FML
Today, it's been three days since I started working 12-hour night shifts. My neighbors have now decided to renovate their house. They're focusing on the rooms sharing my wall. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Take your roommate to the graveyard & bury her.

That's so rude of her, not everyone is on the same sleep schedule.

Tell her that sleeping at night prohibits you from having your friends over. Maybe she'll get the hint.

You're brave to do that. I could never work graveyard shift at a hospital......

Tell her she has two options. 1. She can either shut up, and deal with it. Or 2. You can quit your job. Stop paying rent. Eventually have both of you kicked out. And, then she can have her friends over to her cardboard box on the street anytime she wants.

I have worked graveyards most of my career and very few people are understanding.

I'm the same way. I've been working nights for 14 years and its very tough!

Same here. I loved working night duty. And even though I have not been able to work the past few years, I still sleep the best from around 0900 to 1300. Terrible on the Vit D levels though.

Well, DUH! Obviously you're the inconsiderate one for taking a late job involving helping people. Geez, what is wrong with you? (If anyone reading this comment has not picked up on the sarcasm, shame on you.)

I work graveyard as well and deal with a roommate who complains of my excessive and odd sleeping but they do not and will not understand until they work graveyard for more than two weeks! Sometimes I have to be awake for 30+ hours and they will never understand
