Today, the maintenance workers finally came to my apartment to fix the shower-head that kept falling off the wall. I was annoyed because they had replaced it a few weeks ago and since then, it'd been a problem. They went into my bathroom, turned the shower head around, and left. FML

Today, I woke up to a repairman at my door who was simply supposed to turn my water back on in my apartment. Two hours and 5 repairmen later, all I have now is a large hole in my ceiling. Still no water. FML

Today, I was taking a shower for the first time in my new apartment. The shower head broke off the wall and slammed onto my head, while spraying water everywhere. I tried to stop the water, but only stopped the cold and got burnt by the hot. FML

Heavy sleeper

Today, maintenance was supposed to come in to replace my broken washer. I worked late last night until 4 AM, and then dozed off. I slept so soundly that they managed to enter the apartment, haul away the broken washer, and install the new one, all while I was fast asleep in the next room. FML

Today, after having a pretty rough day, I decided a nice, hot shower would be great. Ten minutes in, the shower head apparently couldn't take the water pressure anymore, and it flew off and hit me in the face. FML

Today, I was getting ready to go out when I noticed that after several months of annoyance, the faucet stopped dripping. I started to dance around my bathroom when all of a sudden I slipped and hit my head on the sink. The faucet is dripping again. FML

Today, when I got home from work, my fiancé was finishing up with the plumber who had just installed new fixtures for our shower. I decided that I was going to be the first to break it in. I went to the bathroom, got undressed and went to start the water. The OTHER plumber was still in there. FML

Today, my dad went to a hardware store to replace the broken shower head in my bathroom. He got the cheapest shower head he could find, and so when I took a shower, the shower head burst out and hit me square in the face. FML

Today, I woke up to a fog. Literally. A pipe burst in my apartment and scalding water was everywhere. To make matters worse, when I called maintenance he told me he'd come by later, hung up on me, and turned his phone off. He did eventually show up, but it was 5 hours later, well after I'd paid a plumber $200. FML

Today, I read an FML worded so badly that I wasn't entirely sure what happened in it. FML.

wdf this should have been posted by one of the guys that came to do the repairs, not by you. then it would have been a FML. still, thanks for sharing. i feel better all of the sudden for fixing myself the door bell and some of my sockets and for putting up some shelves with the drill press - while being a woman :/

It was probably one of those detachable shower heads with the cord and when they installed it the holder was upside down. She probably felt dumb for not turning it around, hence the FML. Don't call her a moron for not thinking of that because clearly the maintenance guy forgot to install it correctly as well.

but it says "THEY**" replaced it a couple weeks ago. so wouldn't it be their fault..? && what I was thinking was maybe they came in, unscrewed it, turned it around, && screwed it back in.. but that'd be a little impossible, wouldn't it..? even if so, OP should've explained a little bit better... details please.!(: lol.

I figured this out. It's a detachable shower head. The OP was putting it back into it's holder the wrong way, so it kept falling out. So they just turned it around and stuck it back in correctly.
