Today, the sprinklers in the hotel room came on and stayed on. There was no fire. My family is currently living in the hotel, so everything we own is soaked. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, someone tripped the fire alarm at the hotel I'm currently staying at while I was taking a shit. FML
Today, I'm staying in a hotel. The power went out while I was having a shower. So I waited for it to come back on, until an announcement came over the fire alarm, "Due to generating failure, the power will be off for the rest of the night. Sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused, and have a good night." FML
Today, I came home to my bed and most of my room soaking wet. This morning, my mom thought it would be "smart" to warm up my room by opening the skylight above my bed. There were heavy showers all day today. FML
Today, the toilet on the top floor of my house burst, soaked the bathroom, and water dripped down into the kitchen and the basement for hours when nobody was home. Eight blowers and a dehumidifier later, the house is about 90 degrees and I can't leave. FML
Today, after house sitting for my future father-in-law and managing to keep things spotless for 3 weeks, a pipe burst. It flooded the place and shorted out a plug socket, causing a fire that ruined the front room. He gets home in 3 hours. I'm screwed. FML
Today, the fire alarm went off in my dorm. Not only was it 30 degrees outside, but I was in the shower. FML
Today, I'm living in a hotel and my mum took a fat dump, clogging the toilet. When she tried to plunge it, it began overflowing. I had to start running in and out with trash and clean the room as fast as possible so that they didn't have any extra reasons to kick us out. Turns out they can't do anything tonight. FML
Today, on vacation with family, the power goes off in the middle of the night. I wake up as the A/C starts dripping on my head. No air, wet pillow, can't sleep, but I decide to tough it out until morning rather than wake everyone. In the morning, I discovered my sister had hit the breaker because she couldn't find the light switch. FML
Today, the smoke alarm went off while I was in the shower. Fearing a house fire, I jumped out and ran out, wearing just a tiny towel that barely covered my modesty, only to realize that water was coming through the ceiling and on to the smoke alarm, via a leak in the shower tray. FML
Today, I took a shower in a beach house we're renting for the week. Once I get out, I realize the house doesn't supply towels, my entire family was outside in the front yard, my phone was upstairs, and there are no blinds. I stood under a ceiling fan naked for 20 minutes trying to dry off. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Better than having the whole place burn down and lose everything. Sucks though.

It was Zach's fault! Get your mom from the lounge where she's singing and Mr. Mosby to kick his ass! Life's not so suite when everything's soaked, is it?

OP: Sorry to hear that! Hang in there. It's a rough year for a lot of us- hopefully, this is rock bottom. As much as losing every possession sucks, that's when we realize eventually that material things are just things. At least your family is together. Best wishes.

Lol, that depends. Sometimes life can be pretty fun when everything's soaked!

Usually not when EVERYTHING is soaked. For example, women don't like it when you wet their bed. Found that out the hard way.

YDI for having material possessions. YDI for needing a place to stay. YDI for smoking in a non-smoking room. YDI for roasting marshmallows on a fire you built in the middle of the room. YDI for having a family.

Sucks to be you. Especially since sprinklers dont work the way they do in movies. Only the one activated goes off...NOT ALL OF THEM. So now you know, you don't hang clothes from them.

My thoughts exactly. I haven't commented on an FML in ages but I do fire sprinkler system design for a living and this guy is a certified, grade A idiot. I love having people bitch in hotel rooms how sprinklers go off and it's all OUUUUUURRRR fault, but they need to stop hanging shit from the sprinklers. ITS A GLASS ACTIVATION BULB (most of the time). IF YOU HANG SHIT ON IT, GLASS BREAKS.
