Today, I learned that it doesn't matter how good you've screwed a satellite dish onto the side of your house, it won't stop the wind the ripping it off and taking half the wall with it. FML

Today, I was taking my architecture project to school. I'd spent days preparing my little model house. I stepped outside with it in my hand, and right at that moment a gust of wind ripped it away. It's currently lying in my neighbour's garden, smashed to pieces. FML

Today, after spending $850 on having our siding, roof and windows powerwashed, a 5-minute storm blew the siding clear off the house. FML

Today, to save money, I wanted to fix my own leaky roof instead of hiring someone. When I got on the roof, the ladder fell. As it was falling, it broke three windows and snagged the siding of my house ripping over half of it off. FML

Help, I'm stranded!

Today, at work, it was so windy that it started taking the door off its hinges. The door now won't close all the way. I can't leave until someone comes to fix it. FML

Today, I purchased a brand new television. Not long after the professional who hung it on my wall left, it came crashing down on my hardwood floor. I'm now left with a busted TV, a tear in my living room wall, and a severely drained bank account. FML

Today, I was woken up by my TV falling down. Good news: It still works. Bad news: I don't know how it happened, so I'm worried it could happen again at any time and potentially break for real. FML

Today, as I came home from school, I saw a little rock in the road. I kicked it, intending to send it sailing into the bushes in front of my house. It went wide and sailed straight into a window instead. FML

Good morning

Today, I lifted up my blinds, only for them to detach from the wall, hit me on the head, knock a pile of paper over, spill a can of Pepsi, leave plaster all over the floor and a gaping hole in the wall above my window. FML

Yeah I don't think the satellite dish is the worst of your problems right now

Even the wind was like "I've warned you countless times to get cable but you just didn't listen. Oh it's on now" haha.

Nothing a tarp, duct tape and a few nails can't fix!

That wasn't wind, it was the Big Bad Wolf! I TOLD you not to use straw to build your house, but did you listen, little pig? Nooooooo!

That's just another reason to roll with digital cable!

How it happened was is the dish is concave and the wind must have been blowing just in the right direction that the dish caught it and took it down.

Wait until you get the repair bill -- that's when you'll really know what it means to get screwed to the wall :D

If you do not know how to install something properly, hire someone who does. The dish I merely "screwed into the wall" survived both hurricane Katrina and Wilma in 2005 - in south Florida. I was in the eye of Katrina. How strong were your winds?

Must have a weak house. We had 80 mph winds here one day. The dish is still here along with the house.

Lag bolts + framing = solid. Idiot + bad carpentry = hole in the house. Call a professional or a handy neighbor or ****, at least look up how to do it right on the internet. But check MULTIPLE sites.
