Today, I had a really bad day at work and the only thing that was getting me through the day was the idea of taking a nice, hot, relaxing bath. When I got to my front door there was a shut off notice from the gas company. I won't be taking any hot baths until I come up with the $500 bill. FML
I agree, your life sucks 23 926
You deserved it 49 186

director416 tells us more.

The gas bill includes another security deposit of 150$ and a turn on fee of 50$. So, it was 300$ that I was past due on and I was doing the budget plan which was about 150$ a month. Only 2 months behind. As for the roommate, it's not her fault she lost her job due to down sizing and she is has been getting money from her parents... we've just used it for food. It's not a matter of whether or not I "deserve" to have my gas shut off. I do. I didn't pay the bill. I agree with that. The FML part of it is that my day was crap and then it got even crappier. Stop preaching and just read the stupid FML so you can say "Hey, at least I'm not that poor bastard." Get over yourselves.

you shouldve improvised, had a nice warm bath, the water provided by your tears. ):

everyone who hit YDI is probably a student and has never tried living alone during a RECESSION. come on people - this is real life, if you haven't heard of the exponential growth of normal people not being able to make ends meet - you'll find out soon enough.

YA YOU JUST NEED TO GET USED TO TAKING COLD SHOWERS, SOME PEOPLE IN THIS WORLD DON'T EVEN HAVE THAT, SO CONSIDER IT A LUXURY WHILE YOU'VE STILL GOT IT. THE NEXT FML WE SEE FROM YOU COULD BE, I LOST MY JOB, GOT EVICTED AND NOW I HAVE TO GO BATHE IN THE FREEZING COLD RIVER.

pay your bills and live within your means and you can take as many hot baths as you want...

Paying bills on time, let alone paying for utilities, is not science, champ. Anyone that can't handle this is a ******* loser, job or not.

Microwave a few bowls of water then dump it into the not heated bath water.

What's with Fmylife being a "Preachy" site nowadays? Stop preaching people, did it ever occur to you that maybe the OP's short on money? Like honestly people, stfu. I feel bad for the OP, she obviously had a long, hard day, and the last thing she needed was to have her hot bath cancelled by the gas company
