Today, the midwest blizzard hit my town, burying the roads in snow. All the local stores are closed. I'm not only currently on my period, but I'm out of pads and toilet paper. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I have to use toilet paper as a substitute for Kleenex, because I have a nasty cold and ran out. We're also snowed in where I live, so I currently can't go to the store to get some more. I think I now understand why people were hoarding this stuff. FML
Today...I started my day with a head cold and sore throat. I am ending the day with my period and explosive diarrhea. Oh and to top it all off, I live in the midwest, where the wind chills are going to be -50 tomorrow...FML
Today, I got snowed in. At work. FML
Today, I heard that there was supposed to be a huge blizzard heading our way, so I went out to stock up on groceries. After spending $600 on food, I drove home and packed most of it into the fridge and freezer just in time for our power to go out. FML
Today, while sitting on the toilet, I noticed there was no toilet paper left, so I dug through my purse to use my one and only pad as a substitute. It clogged the toilet, and I started my period ten minutes later. FML
Today, snow finally arrived in my area, in very large quantities. Also today, I seem to have caught my dad's cold. The town is too snowed in for traveling and my medications are running low, so I guess we'll suffer together. FML
Today, all the roads going in and out of my town are closed due to flooding. I work 3 towns away, and was threatened with termination if I didn't come to work. FML
Today, I’m currently battling a cold that caused me to call into work yesterday and, as of this morning, I’ve also started my period and have the most painful cramps ever. Good thing I have the day off from work. FML
Today, the massive snowstorm that has been mercilessly attacking my city for the past week started causing random, brief blackouts every 2-5 minutes. I'm very sick, so the last thing I need is for this house to be cold. FML
Today, I got a phone call to say my workplace was closed due to extreme weather conditions. Looking forward to my day off, I then realised the boiler was broken and my house has no heating despite there being a foot of snow outside. I'm spending the day in bed, wearing all my clothes. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Time to make some red snow.

I guess it's time to find all those pairs of socks you never use, and put them to good use.

I don't understand all these "stuck home without _ in snowstorm" posts. Even here in Virgina they've been talking about the nasty storms heading for the Midwest for several days. It's not a freak storm, you should have been prepared. Even if you somehow managed to miss all the weather reports, you still had time when the storm started to go out and get supplies before the stores and roads were closed. On top of that, why would you let yourself get that low on toilet paper and period supplies in the first place? You're not magically going to stop menstruating or using the bathroom. These are things you should always have on hand, no matter the circumstances.

Ok, I know it's gross, but use clean socks...they last a long time, and absorb really well. If you're not unfortunate enough to be out of detergent as well, you can wash with bleach and re-use them. I feel for you, it sucks...Also, if you have a female neighbor that you know, it might be embarrassing, but it never hurts to ask them for some pads :)
