Today, my roommate decided to go on a group trip instead of paying our water bill. Now I can't shower until next week. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my roommate forgot to pay the water bill on time, so they shut it off. Now we're without running water for 3 days and I'm taking my morning dump in Target next to a stranger. FML
Today, I finally got my paycheck that I could enjoy $300 for myself after taking care of my bills with so many other ones. Then, I find out that the water was shut off, which is supposed to be my roommate's responsibility. Apparently, he has not paid it in months, and they want $288. FML
Today, my water got cut off. The previous homeowners owed the water company over $300, and the company doesn't believe that I'm not them. The supervisor told me this will keep happening until I pay up. I need a shower. FML
Today, the city shut off the water at my house because my roommate thought that the water bills he had been hoarding were "suggestions." FML
Today, my roommate and I received a non-payment notice from our landlord, over a dishonored check that was used to pay the rent. I give my roommate money for my share and she handles the checks. Apparently, her trip to Puerto Rico was more important than paying rent. FML
Today, my new roommate took a shower. This would be a good thing, except for the fact that it's apparently taken her two months just to take this one. I have to live with her for another year. FML
Today, my landlord refused to send a plumber over to unclog the sink. Now he wants me to pay for water damages because he didn't call a plumber sooner. FML
Today, I found out my landlord is too cheap to turn up the hot water tank enough to have a comfortable shower. There's a huge padlock on the door, she won't budge, and I'm signed in until December. FML
Today, my roommate and I had to pay our first installment of rent. He's nowhere to be found. FML
Today, I came home and heard the shower running. Assuming my roommate was in there, I yelled, “Don’t use up all the hot water!” Then my roommate walked in with groceries. I froze. The shower stopped. The bathroom was empty. Now I have to move out or start charging rent to a ghost. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I hope you created a contract and had it signed with said roommate. Would've been a lot easier to pay it yourself then, go after them with the contract. Sorry op :/

Well your roommate sure transformed into an Optimus Prick. Don't worry Megatron, you'll have your day.

Broke= No money= No water. I think that's the reason why it's an FML.

Shut up, Meg.

You fool, one does not simply tell Megatron to shut up.

Don't you have any friends who would let you use their shower for a few minutes in the meantime? Or family? There has to be some kind of solution to the showering problem.

Uh I personally would use that group trip as a time to pack their things and have it by the door when they get back and tell them to pull that bs on someone they went on their trip with.

Can't you pay it? Utility companies don't usually care who pays a bill, as long as it's paid. In my area water is pretty cheap ( about 30 bucks a month for 4 or 5 people). Unless your in between pay checks then FML OP.

If all else fails and you can't use a friend's or relative's shower, then get some disposable adult washcloths. While they don't make you feel as clean as taking a shower does, they can be pretty effective in a desperate situation and are better than nothing. Get some dry shampoo, too.

Sounds like you need a new roommate.
