Today, I woke up, got dressed, and left for the 1 hour drive to the nearest vet. When I arrived, I realized that I left my cat in its carrier on my kitchen counter. FML

Today, I took my cat to the vet for a regular check-up. In the waiting room, she escaped from her carrier and created chaos, knocking over supplies, and hissing at everyone. FML
Today, I had to take my cat to the vet. On the way there, he managed to get out of his cage, climb into the front seat, onto my chest, and howl in my face as I tried to drive down the highway. I ended up with stitches and still got charged for missing my cat's appointment. FML
Today, I'm moving. While packing, I realized I hadn't seen my cat in a few hours. I called her and realized she was inside one of the hundreds of boxes in my house. I accidentally packed my cat. FML
Today, I opened my car door on reaching destination and my dog escaped. I never found him. My destination was the vet's office to get him micro-chipped. FML
Today, I closed my bedroom door before I went to work this morning so my cat wouldn't chew on the cords in there. When I got back, I couldn't find my other cat anywhere. I went to my bedroom and heard her yelling. She was in there, stuck there all morning and afternoon. Oops. FML
Today, I went to pick up my dog from the vet after she had surgery. I somehow managed to lock my keys, my purse, and my dog in the car. FML
Today, I opened my closet to get my uniform to get ready for work, and found the cat my step-mom was looking for the night before. Apparently, it snuck in there and was too stupid to miaow to be let out, but had no problem pissing all over all my stuff. FML
Today, at work I got an urgent message from my boyfriend that there was an emergency and I should come home immediately. I took my last personal day of the month and drove the half-hour home. The emergency? The cat had vomited on the comforter. FML
Today, I went searching for my cat who'd escaped. Of course, I searched the entire building and somehow she'd got back in through my front door of my apartment. FML
Today, I looked out the window just in time to see a coyote carrying off my cat that I had just let outside five minutes before. FML

Common sense doesn't seem to be so common anymore

How do you forget the only reason you are driving to the vet?

Unless OP has Alzheimer's, this has YDI all over it
imawesomeokay 15
If Op has Alzheimer's, it's not Op's fault.. You do know Alzheimer's is a disease, right?
imawesomeokay 15
oh shit i read that comment without the comma... I'll take the thumbs down with pride.
peacejunior 12
Common sense or a little of healthy paranoia?
juststephhere 23
Sometimes people have attention problems... Don't judge them.
michaelaranda 28
this isn't really a common sense problem. op just forgot. it happens to the best of us.
potatoboy33 11
Maybe start remembering more stuff, op!

What does common sense has to to with forgetfullness?
blade4080 7
Its the "forgetfulness" like this which causes infants to die in the car when left unattended in a parking lot. YDI.
Since1998 20
its more irrispobisibility and a little bit of lying to make it seem the fault of forgetfulness. Really after being in a routine for so long, its pretty hard to forget about your baby in a car. Also, its an extremely low hit to make a comment like that.

#111, it doesnt matter what the excuse is, even in routine, people still forget that stuff. When innocent children die because of idiocracy, it doesnt matter what the excuse is. It is still a parent that left their child in the car, and this is exactly what this person has done in a sense. They left their pet at home when making the drive FOR the pet, which in my mind is completely stupid of the op.

Whoops?

Time to lay off the mind altering drugs?

**** the cats life. that sucks.
imawesomeokay 15
No. **** Op's life. Op has to drive back to get the cat, which takes one hour, and then drive back to the vet. That's three hours of boredom and wasted gas.
ViktoriaaKills 13
but the cat also had to sit in that carrier with no food, water or litter for that same amount of time.

#26: It's not going to die in two hours.

My dog has stayed in his crate for hours while my whole family was out at school or work.. He was fine.

Most likely it won't be that big of a deal for a dog, especially if they were "crate trained" properly. I know my cat would be miserable if he was stuck in a carrier longer than he had to be. And it sucks that the OP didn't even check on his pet during that long drive to make sure he was okay. Dogs love car rides, cats do not.
Mifflicious 18
"Dogs love car rides, cats do not." Seriously, do you know anything about animals? There are tons of dogs that hates car rides so much they'd rather eat a hedgehog than go into a car, and cats that are enjoying going for a ride. Talking like every animal of the same species are alike makes you sound a bit too uneducated considering that you have a cat of your own.

The cat will get even. They always do, OP check your shoes for poop every morning.

#37 how do you know your cat would be miserable? I wasn't aware cats have facial expressions
botanistjessica 24
Wow 79. There's no reason to get that upset. It's gonna be okay.

Technically 4 hours

I like #29's view of life. You're either perfectly fine or your dead. That makes everything so simple.

Maybe whining, crying, meowing?

@ #79 Actually... Even my cat extremely dreads car rides while my dog loves them. Every turn we take and every time we brake, he would let out an uncomfortable mew and look depressed. My dog on the other hand extremely enjoyed them and loved to stick his head out the window in the summer wind. Yes some animals are different, but from the majority of the people I know who have either animal, their cats usually dislike car rides while their dogs love them. I feel this is an educated answer, and hopefully you feel the same.
Mifflicious 18
And that's not how it is for me. My dog doesn't mind car rides, yes, but most of my friends dogs have problems with it, some of them since they haven't been trained properly. My cat on the other hand enjoyed car rides. It's still quite a narrow-minded thing to say that "All of this kind of species does and think like this".

Wouldn't you have heard in going nuts in the car if you had it o.O
alycion 38
Not all cats go nuts in cars. I had one who use to quite enjoy car rides. Fell asleep like a baby.

Every animal is different. My last cat, Jello, would try to go everywhere I went. She'd ride on my shoulder and make herself dizzy watching objects fly by. I don't know if she'd like a carrier though.

Maybe the cats not the only pussy that needs attention?
Welshite 39
Can we please just have ONE FML without any of these overused "puns"?
perdix 29
#23, no, because if we did, that would be a ... shitty situation. Swag!

kjones99 11
I honestly don't see how you didn't notice sooner...
GutiCorp 4
So you drove for an hour without once checking your cat? BS
Dracoboxer357 35
And the moral of the story is to always make sure to give your pussy the time and attention it deserves? ;P Hopefully, lesson learned. ;)

How do you forget the cat??? Lol. Way to go, genius.

How do you "forget" a cat?
Fernando83 19
The same way anyone else forgets about anything else you stop thinking about it.
