Today, my roommate woke me up during afternoon nap to tell me that I need to move out. His reason: "Our political differences will likely escalate to violence." FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my roommate came home and instantly began raging, cursing, and threatening to kill me. While I was cowering in my bedroom, the police had to settle the situation. All I'd done was rearrange some furniture. 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 found out that my new roommate got kicked out of his old house because he pulled a gun on his old roommates and threatened them. The reason? They nagged him about dishes he left in the sink. Well, only 10 months left on the lease. FML
Today, I got into a fight with my roommate's girlfriend's best friend. A few hours later, they had me evicted. FML
Today, my college roommate tried to kick me out, because what I say makes her uncomfortable. We haven't talked for 3 months. FML
Today, my roommate served me with a two-week’s notice to vacate the apartment, the day before I leave for 10 days of working in a completely different city 150 miles away. FML
Today, I was sleeping when my roommate walked in and asked me, "So… when are you leaving?" She had decided to throw a party in our apartment. I wasn't invited. FML
Today, when a discussion with my roommate veered into politics, he made it clear he thinks I'm an instrument of his oppression because I'm not a communist. I pay rent and utilities, and buy groceries. He and his wife take up most of the space in the apartment and I keep the secret that she never stopped cheating. FML
Today, the crazy son of a bitch who lives next door to me once again got into a loud, rather one-sided argument with his cat. Twenty minutes later, he knocked on my door, asking if he could stay at my place for a couple of days. The look he gave me when I said no has me fearing for my life. FML
Today, my boyfriend came home from a two week vacation and told me I needed to move out. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

To avoid a political argument, next time just change the subject to religion.

This is exactly why I'm scared to move in with a republican. I'm black, lesbian, and come from a Muslim background. FML and FYL too, friend!

Dear #39: Please grow up. I'm really sick of the social narrative that tells people that every politically conservative person is a bigot. Perhaps if you ever tried to engage in a meaningful conversation with conservatives rather than avoiding us like the plague and making blanket statements about us on the internet, you would know better. Sincerely, a Bisexual Agnostic Republican/Alfonzo Rachel fangirl

I am worried because many republicans have undeniably said racist and terrible things about people like me. Current world events are supporting my valid worries over having a conservative roommate. Secondly, I have many a time had conversations with republicans and they have NEVER ended well. Not all republicans are mean spirited people, it goes that way with everything and everyone.

republicans... MOST of them are stupid some are smart. Palin for example is stupid and Lincoln was smart. Demos are mostly the same.

not all republicans are racist, but most are homophobic and racist towards different religions not ethnicity. so yes, bigots. republican party=bible/religious based party. so here is something: seperation of church and state, and freedom of/from religion. republicans worst enemy. and by freedom of religion i mean a religion different from christianity. so yes, 39 has reason to be afraid.

no. a republican would because they act like anyone who disagrees is some kind of anti-american communist terrorist.

Republicans Suck Ass

There are radicals who are crazy on both ends of the spectrum... I wouldn't want to live with either. However the moderates in both parties are capable of having intelligent, interesting discussions that won't turn violent. So OP you roommate was probably a crazy that you didn't want to live with anyway.

do what I do and 'not care' xD Leave politics to Middle-aged men who have nothing beter to do and enjoy your young years! dont get swamped down with politics. I HAD a friend who was like that... he supports the BNP (British National Party... basically, a mild version of the Nazi party)

Unfortunately, the moderates are the ones no one hears about in the media. Maybe we need a 3rd or 4th party Democratic Republicans for Independent Moderation (DRIM) The DRIM party... Then we can give a "I have a DRIM" speech...
