Today, I walked into my apartment and smelled something extremely repugnant. I asked my roommate what had happened and she said, "I didn't know how else to kill it!" She'd trapped a bat that was in our apartment, put it in the oven, and set it to 400 degrees. FML

Today, there was a horrible smell in my kitchen. I tried to find the source, but failed and had to leave for the day. That night, my brother informed me that the smell was coming from a dead mouse stuck in our toaster. FML
Today, I saw a bat in a cabinet. I slammed the cabinet as hard as I could, which knocked the bat off the door and got its head stuck between the two doors, decapitating it. Its two beady eyes were judging me. I haven't even had my coffee yet. FML
Today, I found out that I have mice because my landlady got rid of the community cats that were keeping them outside, and apparently my cats aren't taking care of them. I found out when I turned on my oven and my apartment was filled with an awful smell that turned out to be burning mouse crap. FML
Today, I baked a cake. After feeding it to my entire family, I opened the stove, planning to temporarily store the cake inside. I then noticed a mouse, burnt to a crisp. FML
Today, I finally found out what that weird smell in my apartment was. My ex-boyfriend had been breaking into my apartment and hiding rotting fruit all over the place. I found this out when a ceiling panel fell and a swarm of fruit flies attacked me. FML
Today, I was laying in bed when my sister came running in, scared. I took my bat and went into the kitchen where the suspicious noise was coming from. It was a rat, right in the middle of the floor. I jumped on the counter and shrieked, just as my girlfriend walked in, who then actually dealt with it. FML
Today, I walked into my apartment after work, only be to greeted by an awful smell. I searched every inch of the place, convinced something had died. After an hour of searching around, I found the source: a single forgotten boiled egg in one of my backpack's pockets. I will never forget the smell of sulphur or whatever it was. FML
Today, I found out that the horrific smell coming from somewhere in my kitchen was a rotting dead mouse that somehow got stuck in my dishwasher. I have been eating off plates washed in dead mouse water for the past week. FML
Today, while attempting a DIY pest removal, one of our tenants lit a skunk on fire. FML
Today, I came home to the vilest stench I've ever smelled. I had to open a floor vent and scoop up the turd that was inside. Funnily enough, today was the day my scumbag roommate moved out, but I'm sure he had absolutely nothing to do with it. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Why would it even be necessary to kill it?

Why not just capture it and release it outside?? It would be less messy and more humane..

Merylwen 24
It wasn't. And she did it in an extremely cruel way too.
girlrome 19
She could have just let it fly out the window instead of baking it.
speckledots 29
Bats are actually a sign of good luck. I don't think baking it is going to help with that.

This is proper animal cruelty. Why the **** would you put an animal in an oven? Jesus Christ.
Genociiide 15
I'm actually sad now..

put your roommate in the oven see how they like it
kirasant 19
Seriously, what an awful thing. Your roommate is a monster. I hope you show her these replies, sounds like this moron has no ability to think past her own dumb ass reaction to an animal being in the house. How disgusting.

Poor little thing. In Minnesota this time of year it was probably hibernating and woke up for some reason.

Oh, god, this FML just makes me think of Single White Female when the roommate kills their puppy :'(

I would have left and called animal control or the local police or something. why did the oven get turned on? obviously it was trapped and that's safe enough.. its even dark in there so the bat probably would have been somewhat comfortable waiting in there for the proper authorities to arrive.

115 I don't think you read carefully. The roommate trapped the bat and baked it intentionally. Why someone would bake a bat is beyond me though, what a horrific way to go.
buttcramp 21
you're right.. I just figured the roommate meant she wanted the bat out of there. I'm all for killing a bug that comes in my house but if its a rat or animal (thank god it has never happened to me) I'd call a professional.

Bats carry rabies.
sadsociety101 3
It was a kitten.
nevereyes 31
Your more likely to get rabies from your pet dog than a bat......
xBethanyC 15
and what makes it even more sad is that bats are on the brink of becoming endangered...

I got bit by a bat a few years ago, they're actually the #1 carrier of rabies, they recommend that if you wake up and find a bat in your room you should catch it, kill it, and freeze it so it can be tested... that was a cruel way of doing it though
Razi_tail 25
Only if actually bitten and after animal control is called can it be killed. The AC officer has to be the one to kill it. It is super illegal to kill a bat. They are a major carrier of rabies, but that doesn't mean every bat is infected with it.
jjmiller1001 17
the last time someone put living things in an oven it caused a war
rockaroths 15
198, actually raccoons are the mammals most likely to carry rabies

Nothing deserves to die like that... I mean like bats are practicaly hamsters with wings... would you do that to a little defenseless hamster? Just because a form of life is in another form doesnt mean it is any different than us. Animals build houses, communicate, and are alot similar to us. I mean, like, its okay to swat a fly here and there, but baking a ******* bat? jesus.
AurumPotestasEst 16
That's terrible! There was a blight not that long ago that severely reduced the number of bats there are and bats are very important to the environment because they eat a lot of mosquitoes. It was also inhumane.
arcanesentry 14
This is just awful :(
juturnaamo 29
I don't know if cruelty laws apply to pest animals. Glue traps are pretty ******, but they're allowed.
Oh_bother44 11
Bats are not the number one carrier of rabies by any means.

you proved a down vote nazi wrong, so you paid the price

ohishkabibble 21
Because that would apparently take humanity and brains that OP's roomie does not possess.
annihil8or 15
Cuz OP's roomie is the Joker and wants to kill batman
You_Screwed_Up 7
Maybe the roommate didn't have anything to cook for dinner and wanted to try something new.
allplayedout 20
Because apparently OP's roommate is a female version of Joffrey from Game of Thrones.
camsterjoe 12
It truly was a half-baked idea.
712sash 26
Run, woman. Run far.
magickitten 26
Well, yeah, if that's how her roommate chooses to kill a defenceless bat, just imagine what she'd do to you if you pissed her off!
buttcramp 21
yeah I'd get a roomie with some brains lol
jazzmin1997 16
Indeed! People who kill animals are more likely to be serial killers. Fact.
thatkidmal 15
Animal cruelty is frowned upon
sarcasticlover 30
And also human stupidity...
cocainewhore 30
OPs roommate is messed up
\ 28
Perhaps she took the phrase "kill it with fire" a tad too literally...
thesinginguy 18
Honestly, I'm pretty sure that at that point setting it on fire would have been more humane than shoving it in an oven, at least death by fire would be quicker than death by being baked by a psycho.
Dmc169 9
Hey you know what they say about bats. They're chicken of the cave
yellowaholic 25
Well if you think about it a lot of animals are killed cruely, such as lobster, we boil them alive which is equally terrible in my opinion. I feel bad for any animal that had a slow painful death because of human kind.

Oh, that sucks! your roommate is kind of an idiot! haha this post is just great though!
Godsofdracos 15
Yes... Slowly roasting ones foe to death at 400 degrees when it's defenseless is great....
smokecloud_ 37
No. There is absolutely nothing great about this post. I can find humor in almost everything in life that most people would be horrified by. This FML just makes me sad.

This is the funniest thing I've read this week.
cryssycakesx3 22
can we prepare you like a twice baked potato then? image how hilarious that would be!
leary96 15
I think he could be referring to the other comments. What OPs roommate did was awful but these responses are awesome.
Matilda19 7
that's not even cool!

It's more like **** the bats life.

This isn't even funny. How the hell is this funny??? She was burning and cooking it to death, what the hell is wrong with you people???
domolovesyoshi 33
she cooked a defenceless animal to death if it was a kitten or puppy I bet they wouldn't find it so funny.
Sandsh8rk 36
I got sad reading this FML :(
