Love, Health, Fire and Miscellaneous: Easily distracted

Easily distracted

By Jeanine - This FML is from back in 2009 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, I returned to my apartment to find everything reduced to ashes, hidden in black clouds of smoke. Turns out there was a blackout, and my fiancé lit a candle on top of a stack of all our wedding papers. When he smelled the smoke, he got hungry for a taco and left instead of calling 911. FML

Today, I woke up to my apartment filled with smoke, fire alarms blaring. My roommate set my kitchen on fire while making hot dogs. This is the fourth time this has happened. FML

Today, we were having a little bonfire. At some point, while I was inside, my stupid roommate filled a beer can with lighter fluid and threw it in the fire, resulting in it spewing 5-foot flames, catching the pile of wood and the chair next to it on fire. FML

Today, my car broke down in the middle of nowhere. I walked about 3 miles to the nearest house to call a tow truck. When I got back to where I left my car, it was gone. FML

Happy New Leg

Today, instead of spending New Year's Eve having a romantic night out with my fiancé as we'd planned, I'm spending it sitting beside him in the hospital because his friends convinced him to go off-road ghost-riding in the dead of night. FML

Today, after coming home from surgery, I discovered that the heating in my entire building had failed. I called my mom asking if I could come and stay with her for a few days. She told me to "think warm thoughts." FML

Today, my car broke down. My colleague came to get me and then, later, my husband picked me up from work. We went to collect my abandoned car, but it was gone. It took 10 minutes of me panicking and thinking it had been stolen before he crumpled in laughter and told me he'd already collected it. FML

Today, I was at my boyfriend's house waiting to surprise him when he got home from work. I was laying in his bed when he called to tell me we were over. I couldn't leave before he got home. FML

so let me get this straight -- there was a black out, and your fiance lit a candle and set them on a stack of papers and then left because (through some divine force) he began craving tacos after smelling smoke. i'm not sure if you're familiar with the distance that light can travel, but i'm pretty sure that it can travel farther than the length of a room - and the last i checked, it takes a little more than just setting a candle on top of a stack of papers to start a fire. bless your soul because you must have lost so many important things and yet you find it important to submit this story to fml. sorry but i don't believe it. however, if it's true, i'd call your fiance a dipshit; but hey, it could be worse - he/she could be obsessed with WoW.

Bail on that sucker now! Next time it could be your kid! "Oh, well, the baby started making choking noises so I went to call 911 and left the house again. How was I supposed to know she'd get baked like a cake if I left the house?!" ):
