Today, whilst vacuuming, I stupidly decided to vacuum the bathroom drain to see what would happen. Turns out it will cause stinking septic water to get sucked into the machine and spew all over the walls, ceiling and vanity. It also causes the vacuum cleaner to stop working. FML

Or at least an adult who knows how to adult.

OP, don't play with adult toys, especially without supervision. If you thought your drain really needed cleaning, there are multiple ways that do NOT involve disabling your vacuum, and I'm sure a quick google search could've told you that.

Are you over 18 OP? If so, you officially failed adulting.

Shit, if going to bed one night at the age 17 and waking up the next morning as an 18-year-old is supposed to somehow magically make you an adult, then I'm ******. That whole process completely bypassed me. I guess I'm screwed for the rest of my life because I have no other opportunitues to become a mature adult.

35, I'm pretty sure even most 17 year-olds know not to vacuum a bathroom drain.

^That wasn't my point at all. Mine was that just by turning 18 you don't magically become an adult. Off-topic, sorry. I grew up with cleaning ladies and had never touched a vacuum cleaner until I got my first job. I'd never think of sticking the hose in the pipe lol.

Actually you do magically become an adult. You don't, however, become a RESPONSIBLE adult.

Legally. Yes. But I'm in my early 20s and I still haven't figured out the process of adulting lol

There's being bored, and then there's not thinking. Good luck with the cleaning OP, rather you than me!

I don't know what you do in your showers. But if poop is in your shower drain, you are doing something wrong.

Yeah, what the heck? It isn't like all drains go the same place or anything.

#36, re-read the FML, says septic. Your toilet, shower just about every drain in your house goes to the septic tank. So yes, there would be shit.

There are some bad decisions. And then there's just plain stupid. OP successfully managed to make them both

At least you admitted it was a stupid idea. That's more than most people will do.
