Today, my boyfriend thought it would be romantic to make me dinner surrounded by a candlelight setting. By the time I got home, we had 7 firefighters surrounding our house. Turns out one of the candles fell on the carpet and lit up the curtain as well. FML

No, this happened in Australia, and no it was not featured on the news of any sort. It happened on 30 June 2012, aha.

I bet you were both concentrating on the practice of safe sex for the evening. Little did you know, fire safety would have been more practical.

I think there may be a couple other things "in" if this fml keeps going the way I think it is :D

If they were Mr. January through Mr. July of the Firefighters' Calendar, it could have been a very romantic evening for you (and a sore one.) Your stupid boyfriend would end up folding his own hose.

My favorite is Mr. May. He's especially spicy. ;)

#110, but my birthday is in January ;) My half-birthday is coming up soon -- we can celebrate then.

As long as you provide the refreshments, I'll be there! ;)

What!?!? All candles are artificial. It's not like you can pick them off of a candle tree, or have a trained pig find them for you in the soil.

that's why I hate when my gf lights candles. one of my biggest pet peeves. I go to stuff like this all the time (hints my name)

Were they actual firefighters or strippers?

Atleast he was trying to be nice! Give him some credit! But he did burn your house ....

No idiot. Read the post. The curtains went on fire, not the whole house. Get it right.
