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, 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

FREEDOM

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

Yeah, OP. It's only your home and probably most of your possessions. Get over it. OP is perfectly entitled to complain about it, 34.

"Yeah OP, you only lost all your clothes and anything that could ever mean anything to you along with the place that you slept and kept you safe - but that doesn't matter, stop being a sook." #36 I think you misplaced your heart

Plus,one of his family members may have still been in there as well. But it doesn't matter,right?

34-- it is not the house itself that makes op sad; it is the memories, the stability, the home. Op is probably grateful to be alive, but they still have every right to mourn the loss of familiarity and safety.

Wtf is wrong with you 34? If your house burned down, would you be so peachy about it? Probably not.

Even worse, the local news channel played this in the background: The roof, the roof, the roof is on fire. We don't need no water, let the ************ burn! Very unprofessional! (At least you have a leg up for Perfect Attendance at school :))
