Today, I was finally leaving my hometown to live in my dream city. Everything was packed, keys were handed in, goodbyes were made. The moment my truck began pulling out to get underway, the guy I'd gotten a room from in my new city called to inform me that he'd decided to rent to someone else. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I’d been dying to escape my dreary hometown, but had panic attacks at the thought of being on my own, but at last, I'd found a place I could afford. Turns out, the guy I was going to rent from was just arrested for murdering his last tenant. FML
Today, I moved back to my home town. My best friend and I had arranged to rent a house together that we both liked. I finished my last day at work and made the three-hour drive, only for her to break down and tell me that she isn't "ready" to move out of her parents' basement. She's 25. FML
Today, my best friend decided to make some life changes. He got a new job, a new car, and asked me to move out of our apartment. We're 1,500 miles away from my hometown. I only moved all the way out here to live with him in the first place because he asked me to. FML
Today, my roommate served me with a two-week’s notice to vacate the apartment, the day before I leave for 10 days of working in a completely different city 150 miles away. FML
Today, I finished hauling all of my possessions from another state, because I was supposed to move in with my girlfriend. I was just waiting to find a job. Almost as soon as my stuff was delivered, she broke up with me and told me to figure out getting it all back by myself. FML
Today, I was finally starting to relax after a stressful and expensive move, where I had to give up half my belongings and furniture, as well as my cat. All the stress came rushing back as my new landlord told me that he's selling the building and I've got 30 days to vacate. FML
Today, my friend informed me that I’m not moving in with him anymore, and that his sister is taking my place. Unfortunately, I'd finally gathered the money and a car to move out of state with him. Just when I thought I was going to get away from this hellhole, I’m sinking further into never leaving. FML
Today, I ended things with my hometown, on-and-off-again ex-boyfriend. I leave for college soon and felt other things took priority over him (selfish, I know). I met practically every single one of his family members in the street, heard his name being screamed in a department store, and had an overall shitty day. FML
Today, after telling my parents just exactly what I thought of them and that I was moving out, the person I was supposed to move in with called to say they'd decided they would rather live alone. FML
Today, I found out the person that I’ve been casually seeing has decided he wants to live with me. I found this out when I asked him to go home after two weeks sleeping over, and he told me he'd already moved out of his mom’s. I sublet a single bedroom and have barely enough room for myself. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Wait, didn't you had to sign a contract or so?

At least you weren't half way there. You only just left.

Yeah, you're pretty lucky you hadn't actually left. But didn't you have some sort of contract with the guy? Or did you pack your stuff before confirming you could actually LIVE there?

Everything happens for a reason.

Yeah, the reason that happened was because of some piece of shit.

2 - I am going to have to disagree with you. The fatalistic attitude takes power away from people who do want to make changes. I do believe in making the best of whatever the situation is but just because shit happens doesn't mean there is some sort of huge plan behind it.

That's BS. You get pancreatic cancer and spend the final two years of your life in agony and tell us that.

Nominating "Everything happens for a reason." to DocBastard's list of useless/annoying replies.

Everything does happen for a reason! For the good or bad. For all we know, if they ended up there they could have been murdered or some shit.

23 - Obviously an accidental error, leave it out.

The difference between being a douche and being a grammar nazi, when you jump on someone for an obvious accident instead of ignorance.

Oh, I don't mind him pointing out my mistake. After all, I'm not in high school anymore, so how am I going to write correct English if no one's correcting me? Plural verb after 'didn't', got it.

You can go to court over that and win. I am Assuming you had a contract.

There will always be more opportunities, so don't be easily discouraged.

41- It's already bad enough that that wasn't funny. But then you also had to go and make your own spelling error.

Actually 48, "misspelling" is spelled correctly. Did you know that "misspell" is one of the most misspelled words in America? I didn't.

If you guys signed a contract he legally can't terminate it till the set amount of months or years are over! But I wish you all the best OP(:

Pretty sure that's illegal

Find another room to rent!

Maybe you should get a realtor to help you find a rental in your dream city. It may be better than you searching alone...

Wow, that would make me one sad camper.
