Today, the power went out at school. If it's out for more than twenty minutes, standard procedure is to let us go home. They came back on almost nineteen minutes later. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I woke up to find my power was out. After taking a shower in the dark and being unable to make myself lunch, my power came on two minutes before I had to leave for school. FML
Today, the power went out at school. As a senior, I don't show up until third period. When I got there, I signed in as usual. The office secretary waited until I signed in to tell me that if I hadn't, I wouldn't have to attend classes that day. Now I have to sit in class doing nothing. FML
Today, a strong storm knocked the power out at our office. I was dismissed five hours early, had my desk locked up and was walking toward the doors to leave when the power came back on. FML
Today, the power at work was out. This would be fine, if they didn’t make me stay for another hour to wait for it to come back on in the Texas heat. FML
Today, the power went out to my house a second time after coming on a few days ago due to a series of severe storms that rolled through the area. The first knockout took less than 12 hours. This one? A little over three days in a heat wave. FML
Today, our power went out due to some severe storms. My daughter, who is 18, asked me why the lights on the car still worked. FML
Today, the power in my village went out. This caused the back-up battery powered alarm to go off. Nobody in the house even knew our alarm worked, let alone how to make it stop. It's been going off for over an hour now. FML
Today, there was a power outage at my apartment. I ended up deciding that the power wasn't going to come on any time soon, and that I should go to a hotel for the night. Just after I unpacked at the hotel, my neighbor called to say the power had come back. FML
Today, the power went out. Thankfully, it was early in the morning so I should've been able to sleep through it. Then I realized I have an impossible time sleeping during power outages. FML
Today, I was doing an online live exam with the camera on when the power suddenly went out. FML

Don't you just hate when that happens?

I totally feel for you here. At my job as an EFL teacher, if our students/clients don't show up within 20 minutes, we get to go home, but we still get paid for the class. There's always at least one person who'll show up at 19 minutes...

Damn that sucks! I can relate, it's standard procedure at our school that if the fire alarm goes off 6 times in 1 day they send us home. It went off 5 times. Oh and it was winter. And 1 time I was using the washroom... Lol unlucky.

out of interest, wouldn't the schools procedures have made them send you home anyway? This happened in my school a few years ago but the power came back on after they had organised for the buses and taxis to come (which they would have to do before closing the school) and they sent us home regardless.

Similar thing happened to me last year. The power went out and we all had to go outside. Then they tell us to go inside and what in the Student Center (the huge cafeteria). Just before they decided to call school off, the power came back on, everyone was sprinting towards the doors.

Well if the school has a power outage chances are so will your home.

Ah, sounds like my college policy with professors being late. They always come in a minute before the 15 minute mark -_-
