Today, I had to water my entire garden. After an exhausting hour of watering hundreds of plants, I turned off the hose and started to feel good about the grueling job. That is, until it started pouring rain. FML

Today, I found out that the peaceful rain I'd been listening to all night was really a broken water-main flooding my entire yard. FML

Today, I looked outside with a grimace at the very heavy rainfall through which I had to trudge a long way. I waited ten minutes for it to let up, only to find it was getting heavier. So, I started walking anyway. After getting soaked to the bone, I walked through my door, and it stopped. FML

Today, three weeks after I finally tried my hand at gardening by planting a bunch of herbs and was so proud of my work, I found out that I had actually been watering weeds this whole time. My herbs were actually the things I was trying to eliminate. FML

Today, I was sitting on my balcony reading a book. My upstairs neighbors thought that would be a good time to water their flowers. I'm now drenched in water, as is my book. FML

Showered

Today, it took me more than four hours to set up the back yard for my daughter's baby shower. It only took my husband one push of a button to turn on the sprinklers. FML

Today, in the middle of a localised drought, and an accompanying hosepipe ban, my mother has decided that she still needs to water her lawn. To balance out the water usage, she's placed a complete ban on the use of our shower until the weather lets up. FML

Knock it down, boys

Today, I finished a fence around my house that I have been working on all week. About an hour after I finished, a water company truck pulled into my driveway. They told me they would have to take down my fence to make repairs on a water pipe. FML

Today, my husband let me sleep in while he worked on the landscaping by our backyard pool. Ready for a shower, I stripped naked, opened the back door to let the dog out, and stepped out to ask him how it was going. Turns out he'd finally hired a landscaping crew. FML

Today, I had to mow the lawn with a weedwacker because it rained a lot the past week and the push mower was broken. I started "mowing", and forgetting that I am mowing where the dogs go to the restroom, I absent-mindedly weedwack over dog poop. Which got flung into my face. FML

Today, I left work at 11pm. It was cold and dark, and I was anxious to get home, so I cut across some soccer fields to get to my car. About halfway across, the sprinklers came on. FML

YDI for failing to have checked the weather beforehand. Now you've learned a harsh lesson!

Apparently you are unfamiliar with the new faggled object called the "sprinkler." Buy one.

You kinda DI for not checking the weather. But hey at least you got some good exercise!

Don't buy a sprinkler! What so you can waste water and power at the same time? Plant some succulents instead and get used to desert plants because they're going to be all that will grow in a few years time! Americans are screwing themselves and the rest of the world, it's ridiculous how much power, water and gas you waste and you are all so clueless, even if you are one of the lingering idiots who doesn't 'believe' in global warming you can't deny that human actions are polluting the planet. Just because you aren't feeling the effects directly now you will be in a few years and other people (who are far less well off and well equipped to deal with it than you) are dealing with it right now.

Just be grateful you got to spend time in a garden with hundreds of plants.

YDI for not checking the weather. However, how hard is it to stand with a hose in your hand? was it really that much work???

How chunky r u? Watering plants IS NOT exhausting. Here's a better way: get a cheap sprinkler and put it to the furthest part of your lawn then every once in awhile pull the hose in just a bit :)
