Today, my toilet broke. Yesterday, the shower filled up with sludge. I have ten people coming over for Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, there was a potluck at my girlfriend's house. I had a sour stomach, so I went to the bathroom to relieve myself. When I flushed, nothing happened. They had to call a plumber to fix the toilet filled with my crap. The whole family watched, noses plugged and faces cringed, looking at me. FML
Today, my entire family, myself included, has been turned into a collective diarrhea fountain after going out to eat. We only have one bathroom. FML
Today, I was having a Christmas Eve party and my sewer got backed up. Everyone had to go home and now I have to wait until Monday to get it fixed. It's a 15-minute drive to the local McDonald's to take a crap. FML
Today, we had to turn the water off due to a massive leak in the kitchen sink that the plumber was currently fixing. I managed to wait two hours before my uncooperative digestive tract said it couldn't wait any longer and I had to take a mega dump in the bathroom. I couldn't flush the toilet or wash my hands. FML
Today, I screwed up in my job, my husband lost his luggage in an airport, then my daughter broke the toilet flush, and my friend's kid poured porridge onto the carpet. FML
Today, I was cleaning, anticipating my hypercritical in-laws coming to see our new house. Literally 10 minutes before they arrived, sewage backed up the basement drain. My father-in-law spent the entire visit commenting on the smell, and how he couldn’t use the washroom. FML
Today, our toilet overflowed during the night. Over 50 gallons worth leaked through the floor and the ceiling to the room below. I am now covered in poop water. What a way to start the day. FML
Today, my apartment management notified me that my water was going to be shut off all day so they could fix the plumbing. I took a laxative last night. FML
Today, my toilet decided it wouldn't take any more shit from me, and flooded the bathroom. FML
Today, I went with my boyfriend to meet his parents. I had to excuse myself to use the bathroom, and I ended up taking a huge crap that wouldn't flush. I had to reach in and break it up with my hands just so it would flush. Only after I washed up did I notice a plunger sitting under the sink. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I'm sure any plumber would love to charge you $200 an hour to fix it the day before Thanksgiving.

If your house is big enough to house ten guests for Thanksgiving, then it should have more than one bathroom. Seal off the afflicted bathroom, explain to your guests the shituation at hand, and tell them to use another one.

If you had shit backing up into your shower yesterday, you should have realized there was an obvious plumbing problem. Have fun spending a ridiculous amount of money getting that fixed over a holiday weekend because you didn't bother to get on it at the first sign of trouble. If you've only got one bathroom, you probably shouldn't be having ten people over for a holiday in the first place.

I agree on the first part, but there's nothing wrong with having ten people over FOR DINNER (!!) while only having one bathroom. It's not like those people need to use the toilet every two minutes and will form a huge line in front of it... And even if two people need to use it at the same time, it's no big deal. There's a thing called "waiting", you know.

You know, I used to live in a house with only one bathroom... I've had more than ten people over and one toilet was just fine. I don't know your family/friends, but mine don't use the toilet 24/7.

If today's FML trend is any reflection of real life situations, OP was probably planning to lace the food with laxatives. So now, if she goes through with it, she'll have ten people all piling up diarrhetic fluids in an already clogged up toilet. If she doesn't, then she'll have invited ten people that she doesn't like over for nothing.
