Today, I found out that a water pipe at my work had burst over the weekend. There is absolutely no water in the building, including the bathrooms. It's a 9-hour day, and I took a laxative this morning before I came in. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my apartment management notified me that my water was going to be shut off all day so they could fix the plumbing. I took a laxative last night. FML
Today, we had to turn the water off due to a massive leak in the kitchen sink that the plumber was currently fixing. I managed to wait two hours before my uncooperative digestive tract said it couldn't wait any longer and I had to take a mega dump in the bathroom. I couldn't flush the toilet or wash my hands. FML
Today, a pipe leaked in the store I work at. I had to smell sordid waste for more than 8 hours. FML
Today, my work finally hired someone to replace some leaky pipes. I work in the basement by myself, and just as I walked under the newly-fixed pipes, I got soaked with what appeared to be water. Apparently it was connected to a toilet. My boss couldn't find a replacement, so they made me work covered in piss. FML
Today, I returned to work after a restful week-long holiday. Before I left, I'd finished a huge assignment which is due this week. I walk in to find a water pipe has burst just above my desk, flooding our office with water and ruining my computer. Happy New Year to me. FML
Today, I woke up to find that there has been a water main break in my neighborhood and there is no running water until the break is located and fixed. I had chili with beans late last night and it is wreaking havoc with my lower gastrointestinal tract, and the toilet won't flush. FML
Today, at work I had to spend two hours cleaning up stinky toilet water. Why? Because yesterday, I forgot to turn on the septic tank pumps. The tank overflowed, and so did all the toilets. My boss is not happy. FML
Today, my apartment building shut off our water for a short period of time because the pipes were being worked on. It was also the morning my dog had diarrhea on my cream carpet. Not only did I have to clean it up without water, I couldn't wash my hands afterward. FML
Today, I took a dump at work. When I went to flush the toilet, it clogged and began to overflow. I left the bathroom as it was and as I walked out, my boss came in. FML
Today, while using the bathroom I gave the toilet a courtesy flush, only for it to overflow and soak my pants. That would've been bad enough even if I hadn't been at work, with five hours left on my shift and no change of clothes. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

That is true - it's illegal to work in a building that doesn't have working bathroom facilities. But I hope your work is willing to pay for your new pants!

Being illegal doesn't magically stop it from happening, unfortunately. The OP could have "volunteered" to work in the building. The risk of possibly being laid off or a misguided sense of duty can cause people to get coerced into working in less than ideal conditions. I hope the OP at least got paid time and a half as compensation for not having a toilet.

do you honestly think your job is gonna pay you to take craps all day? and why would you want to blow up the bathrooms at your work? Im pretty sure that's something you should take care on your own time! YDI

the smart thing would be to take it once you get home. Who would chose to have the ***** at work on purpose?

Why would someone want to take a laxative and go to work... ???? you WANT to crap your brains out in a bathroom shared with your co-workers? yikes.

Taking a laxative does not mean crapping "your brains out." The OP could take just enough to ease constipation.

I know a few people with digestive problems who take laxative as part of a daily routine otherwise they can't go or it's always painful.

It is also illegal in the US to have no plumbing in a public or private work place.

You can still crap, you just can't flush. FTheJanitorsLife.

Omg this made me laugh so hard, imagining the janitor and the look on his face. I'm sure he'll have a few choice words.
