Today, there was a forest fire in my town. I was still forced to go to school, as it was safer. A lot of people decided not to go, and we ended up doing nothing but watching the news reports. There, I got to see my house burning on live TV. FML

Today, my house caught fire right before I was supposed to present a school project. My teacher told me to, "just suck it up and do it anyway." FML

Our house, was a very very very nice house

Today, my house caught on fire. After it was put out, I realized the damage wasn't bad, mainly smoke damage. I went to my parents' for the night because my house smelled. While there, I received a phone call from my neighbor. Apparently, my house caught fire again. It's now a pile of ashes. FML

Today, my neighbor from across the road phoned me at work telling me there was a fire engine outside my house and a lot of smoke. I drove home in a panic, smashing a rear light on a post and getting flashed by a speed camera. It wasn't my house. The firemen were putting out a bonfire next door. FML

Today, my boss told me to not burn the place down while she was outside. When she came back inside, I accidentally started a fire. FML

Today, police knocked on my door in middle of the night. They said there was a fire in one of the houses in our street, so they were evacuating houses. They wouldn’t let me go back and get dressed. As I was only in my underwear, they told me I could wait in their car. FML

Today, I was home alone and tried to make some popcorn so I could watch a movie. Thirty minutes later, my parents came home and found me talking to the firemen. FML

Where you been?

Today, since I had no lessons until 1 p.m., I headed out to the store to run errands. Our school has a strict policy against leaving the campus during school hours. I returned to a fire drill taking place. The fire assembly point? The student parking lot. All 900 students watched me drive in. FML

Today, some idiots set off fireworks close to my house. I was a bit worried, but my uncle assured me it would be fine and left to run an errand. Just minutes later, I looked up to find the tree right next to my wooden balcony engulfed in flames. FML

Well your parents were right, you were safer at school. Sorry about your house though. Hopefully your parents were at work, and any siblings in school or they got out on time. Otherwise your life might become like "A Series of Unfortunate Events." :(

Well the bright side is you're alive. If you'd stayed home you might have gotten trapped. So count your blessings.

I'm sorry about your house. Thats sucks, but at least you were at school not at home.

Well, no use complaining about the fact you had to go to school, and not stay at home like you wanted. That fact probably ended up saving your life in the long run, considering.

I can't believe some people decided to click on the "YDI" button. I mean this is really a sad FML! I hope your family is okay and that you could save some of your important stuff.

Thank goodness you are okay! You can recover from your destroyed home. It consists of mere objects, which can be replaced. But you, my friend, are irreplaceable.
