Today, I woke up to find my power was out. After taking a shower in the dark and being unable to make myself lunch, my power came on two minutes before I had to leave for school. FML

Today, as I was shampooing my hair in the shower, the power went out. Since my house has well water, no power means no water. FML

Today, there was a power outage at my apartment. I ended up deciding that the power wasn't going to come on any time soon, and that I should go to a hotel for the night. Just after I unpacked at the hotel, my neighbor called to say the power had come back. FML

Today, a strong storm knocked the power out at our office. I was dismissed five hours early, had my desk locked up and was walking toward the doors to leave when the power came back on. FML

Today, the power went out at school. If it's out for more than twenty minutes, standard procedure is to let us go home. They came back on almost nineteen minutes later. FML

Today, I woke up to go to school. I was unbelievably tired, but I gathered the courage to go take my shower. I then took a long shower, cleaned up my room, got dressed, and ate breakfast. Going back to my room, I looked at the clock, which read 3:22 AM. FML

Snow Day

Today, my power went out due to a huge snow storm. I was in desperate need of candles and flashlights. I had to walk to the store since the roads were closed. I walked 4 miles in the blizzard. When I got home, the power came back on. FML

Damp, dark night

Today, I'm staying in a hotel. The power went out while I was having a shower. So I waited for it to come back on, until an announcement came over the fire alarm, "Due to generating failure, the power will be off for the rest of the night. Sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused, and have a good night." FML

Today, I had a planned 12-hour power cut for maintenance work, which I'd forgot all about. In need of a shower before work, I spent 45 minutes boiling pots of water on the stove to take a lukewarm, 6-inch deep bath, before realizing my water heater runs on natural gas and was working fine. FML

Today, the power in my village went out. This caused the back-up battery powered alarm to go off. Nobody in the house even knew our alarm worked, let alone how to make it stop. It's been going off for over an hour now. FML

I think your school finds it a proper excuse why you were late if you didn't make it in the end. It sounds like the black out wasn't only in your house so they can even look it up if it is that horrible your late

33- exactly. It cracks me up that some are so eager to call names and accuse some of being stupid, when THEY are the ones who didn't do the research. I'm not perfect, so I don't plan on calling anyone stupid on here. ha, well, we'll see. :)

So my question is why would you take a freezing cold shower since no power equals no hot water. Why couldn't you make a lunch hello there's this thing during the day called the sun

49 and the other retards. just because power goes out dosent meen you instantly loose hot water. its a tank and the water will stay hot for many hours after loosing power. it cools off very slowly.

That assumes that the power just went off. OP said he woke to find the power out. If it happened early at night, the water could easily have been cold by the time he was ready to shower. Also, since this is in Canada, he could be far enough north so that its still a little dark out in the early morning.

water will stay warm over twentyfour hours. some homes have timers that only let tank heat at night during off peak hours. rember op was saying he took a shower others were doubting it because of the cold water. i bet it was a warm shower.
