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

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, 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

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

Today, the power was out. I tried to explain to my boyfriend that he wouldn't be able to watch any TV until the power came back on. His response was, "But we have Netflix." FML

Today, I knew my wife and kid wouldn't be home until later, and I was excited to play video games and relax. The second I turned my computer on, the power went out. It came back on as my wife was pulling into the driveway. FML

Power shortage

By Anonymous - 14/11/2024 08:00 - Mexico - Zapopan

Today, on vacation with family, the power goes off in the middle of the night. I wake up as the A/C starts dripping on my head. No air, wet pillow, can't sleep, but I decide to tough it out until morning rather than wake everyone. In the morning, I discovered my sister had hit the breaker because she couldn't find the light switch. FML

Today, the power at work was out. This would be fine, if they didn’t make me stay for another hour to wait for it to come back on in the Texas heat. FML

Today, I was driving home from a long day at work fixing people's electronics. When I got home, I got a call from work saying I needed to go back and help a customer with their TV again. When I got there, after an hour of driving, I realized I'd accidentally kicked the power cord out. FML

Why go to a hotel? Just sleep in the dark!

Unless you have some dire work to do that involves the Internet, why would you go to a hotel? My house is part of an old wiring system since the town hasn't updated it so we get tons of power outages here. We have already had 3 and it isn't even winter yet. Plus I am a high schooler so having the power out when I need to do homework becomes a problem.

That's on you. During hurricane Wilma, I didn't have power for 13 days. We managed with no air conditioning and no lights.

Im almost looking forward to the power going out this winter. My girlfriend and I agree that in severe weather she will go to my place since its closer to her job. My apartment does a good job of keeping the heat in and i have plenty of flashlights. If that doesnt work i have a spare car battery, a electric blanket and a 1200 watt inverter.

Are you serious? You can't live without power for one night? Wow.

I can't afford to go to a hotel even if I wanted to, not even for just one night. And cheap hotels are full of germs and filth and bedsheets encrusted with bodily fluids, and are much worse than my home without power.
