Today, after having finally kicked my insomnia's ass after three hours, I was woken up by something I only thought happened in movies. Someone had paid for a Mariachi band to play for their girlfriend, outside my apartment building, in the middle of the night. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I sleep during the day because I work nights. My neighbors have a very loud wedding and reception in their backyard including a live mariachi band. FML
Today, after a week of insomnia, I finally managed to fall asleep. Thirty minutes later, my friends decided to bang on my door, yelling at me to wake up and party with them. I'm now wide awake and hallucinating from lack of sleep. FML
Today, I have a cold, and was stuck sleeping in bed. My roommate decided to wake me up by sticking headphones in my ears and playing heavy metal on full volume. This is the third time this week. FML
Today, I was woken up at 2 a.m. by my roommates throwing a party down the hall. I put some earplugs in so I could get some rest for my 8 a.m final. They worked really well, so well in fact that I didn't hear my alarm and woke up at noon. FML
Today, I put my headphones on and laid down to relax to some music. I fell asleep, and woke up later to a police officer busting into my house. My neighbor had been knocking on my door, then looked through my window and saw me on my couch, and was convinced I'd died. FML
Today, I finally managed to sleep, after two days of being kept awake by the miniature floodlights my neighbors have installed to scare off burglars. Only a couple of hours into my sleep, I woke up to the sound of their car being broken into. FML
Today, I was woken up by my roommates cat meowing so loudly at her door, wanting in. Suddenly it stopped. I was just falling back into sleep when I rolled over and the cat was right there beside my head. Meowing. FML
Today, after 3 nights of insomnia, I was finally able to doze off. My boyfriend woke me up just to ask which soda in the fridge was mine. FML
Today, I was finally going to fall asleep at a decent hour. Having insomnia, I generally get about 2 hours of sleep. Right as I'm about to fall asleep, 5 firetrucks decide to drive right in front of my house with the sirens/lights on. FML
Today, my insomnia got so bad that I became convinced my husband was having an affair in our bed right next to me. I punched him so hard in the shoulder that he awoke from a sound sleep, farted, and then shook it off and went back to sleep unfazed. I'm so jealous. FML

Sure "enjoy" a mariachi band

That's like "enjoying" having a tooth pulled. Mariachi music should be in the dictionary under "******* annoying."

Mariachi music is good romantic music. Considering what's playing on the radio now a days (dubstep, JB, rap)... I would take it over any of that any day.

Ugh. Yes, anything over (shudders) justin beiber.

The other guy had to get a mariachi band for his better half because holding a stereo over your head is dangerous the antenna could attract lightning

17- dictionaries can only provide you with the definition of one word at a time. You'd have to find "*******" and "annoying" separately. But, seriously, mariachi bands are amazing!

Buy bagpipes. Easy revenge.

it's not revenge that you should encourage. especially if your neighbors' take your advice and then your whole block gets accordions, flutes, bagpipes, and guitars and they all start to annoy each other at the same time.

I'm curious to know what the logic is behind the people who chose "You deserve it."

******* trolls, they live for that

They're from peti people for the ethical treatment of insomnia. You can't go around kicking the ass of every insomnia you see.

Accidental votes, perhaps. Or people who misunderstand the FML.

No, they fully understand their votes. It's probably some 14 year olds being outrageously funny.
