Today, while babysitting, one of the boys fell on an exposed pipe and broke it. It spewed water five feet into the air, spread water across four rooms, and completely soaked another of the boys. Their parents had only left fifteen minutes before. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, before we went out, my four year-old brother left the water running in the upstairs bathroom. By the time we came back, there was a flood in our entire house. Guess who was asked to mop it all up… FML
Today, I rushed home after my mom called saying our upstairs had flooded. Apparently, my little brother somehow broke the toilet while unsupervised and water overflowed everywhere. It even reached my closet, shoes, and books, and everything touching my floor in my room is now wet. FML
Today, the pipe in the dining room sink suddenly broke open and in about 15 minutes my entire apartment was turned into an indoor swimming pool. The worst part? I was there the entire time, playing video games with my headphones on. FML
Today, I awoke to find a water pipe burst. I frantically ran down to the basement to turn off the water to the house. What I didn't expect when I reached the bottom of the stairs was to have to start dodging the falling, wet ceiling tiles. FML
Today, I was babysitting my younger brother while my parents were away. I turned my back on my brother for one minute and then I heard a huge crash from their room. He had somehow destroyed a family heirloom and 200 year-old clock. FML
Today, I really had to pee while babysitting. Normally this isn't a problem, except the kids were sleeping and going potty would wake them up right before their parents were due home. Desperate, I decided to pee in a cup in the kitchen and wash it down the sink. Their parents came home mid-stream. FML
Today, I flooded my entire kitchen. The water was cut off at night and I left the faucet open without realizing. When the sound woke me up at 5am, the water reached my ankles. I frantically tried to sweep it out before my mother woke up at 6am. I didn't make it. FML
Today, after dealing with tons of drama and working a 14 hour shift, I took a shower. When I stepped out, a weak spot in the floor gave way. While falling through the floor I grabbed the toilet tank lid, which fell into the tank and broke it. Now my leg hurts and the bathroom's flooded. FML
Today, whilst babysitting, I broke a glass. I explained to the kid that it was very important not to walk barefoot around where it had happened, because of the tiny bits of glass. He jumped back, scared, and while doing so tripped. I rushed to help him and ran through the broken glass. Barefoot. FML
Today, at the small daycare I run, I turned around to put something away. I heard a splashing sound and then saw one of my kids vomiting. He puked several times, and managed to hit the only rug in the entire house. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I don't mean to sound like a wet blanket and dampen your spirit or rain on your parade, but it looks like your babysitting career is all washed up. I'm sure moist of us have been in a similar situation. I won't shower you with insults, though. It's all just water under the bridge.

All part of the job. At least you don't have to pay for damages!

Arr, this happened on my vessel once, bring forth the buckets!
cosmosis 12
Since when is angry spelt with an eh, young fella? ... Secondly, you are 13, real pirates would probably use you as shark bate. I know i would!

A true pirate knows he can't save a sinking ship! Time to head to Tortuga!

Cosmosis.... When you "fix" AngrehPirate's spelling, you should probably spell right too. That's a spelling people use on this thing called the Internet. Bate? Not a word. But bait is. And, your analogy is stupid. A shark would not eat him because he didn't spell angry right. It would probably eat you for being annoying. Even then, sharks rarely eat humans, they only go after humans if they are sick or confused. Please get your facts straight.
mcaisse77 17
Also, it says on your profile that you don't care about spelling. Well, isn't that ironic cosmosis?

Now you know why the kid got dropped off by his parents...

You can't be held accountable for their crap plumbing.. But yeh fyl OP. Better call a plumber.

Since you're only 15 minutes in, you'll have time to clean it up!

not even half of it though
bettyc4 26
Mayybbee....you SHOULDN'T be babysitting?...O_o

Hey don't say that OP could be a great baby sitter. I mean what are the chances that the kid would fall on a expose water pipe that would then spew a five foot fountain, then proceed to soak four rooms, get the other kid wet all within a 15 minute time frame?
bettyc4 26
Had OP been watching the kids properly it wouldn't have happened. Parents arnt trying to have a flooded house when they get home they just want someone responsible and prepared to watch over their child while they do what they gotta do. If you're a fail at your job might be a good idea to get a new job. Get it?
K_kanaka 26
Hahahaha slow down there I ment to be sarcastic. I do agree that OP should be watching the kids, but what were the chances of that happening?
GoW_Chick 15
The chances are one in a million and poor OP just so happened to be that one.
bettyc4 26
Sarcasm is difficult for me to detect in text writings
xStaciexLynnx 15
Op may very well have been watching the kids. You can't be everywhere every second of your time with them. If the child went running and fell on the pipe it's not likely OP had time to stop him from falling...

#19 i mean accidents happen, you dont know where it happened. i mean she could have been watching them play like you watch a young child play before they suddenly fall and hurt themselves. And an exposed pipe in the house? this was bound to happen she was just unlucky enough to have it happen on her watch. so don't be so quick to point fingers

Bethyc4: first one off the fail train.

The person in charge is always responsible. Period.

Pentium_4, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! Don't you dare even think about not going on FML after/while drinking!!!! It'll make for more entertaining comments. So please, go drink some more and come back.

You should just kill the kids and yourself now.
MarkEternal02 19
I really hope you're joking. Even if you are though you should really think before you post. Your comment is absolutely ridiculous.
kansah 25
I think I'm hilarious.

Yeah that kinda wasn't at all funny.

You people need to lighten up, really.

Suicide funny?? You are one messed up child....

my name is also kansah.
GoW_Chick 15
Why kill yourself after you kill the kids? If you're going down the homicidal road why not see how many points you can rack up for all the people you take out, it's the only plausible solution.
