Today, my roommate and I got charged $100 for having a cat in our apartment. I was only babysitting the cat so my neighbors wouldn't get caught and fined. We got caught because my roommate reported the people downstairs for having a noisy dog, so they reported that someone else in the building had a cat. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my apartment complex added $250 to the $1,000 my roomate and I already owe because of an unauthorized pet and complaints from neighbors that our dog barks all night long. We don't have a dog, we don't even have a pet. FML
Today, my landlord came to my apartment because of complaints from my neighbors, saying that animals are not allowed inside. Turns out my roommate makes cat-noises when she's bored. My landlord still doesn't believe me. FML
Today, I got a call at work. My cat somehow managed to lock my boyfriend and dog out of the house. The rental manager charged us $25 to open the door. The cat seems quite pleased with herself. FML
Today, my door broke. My normally reclusive, antisocial cat, who runs and hides at the slightest noise, decided to come out and get friendly with the maintenance man. Now I owe a huge fee and my rent is increasing for having a pet I’m not supposed to have. FML
Today, my elderly neighbor called the police because my cat was in her yard. I now have a citation and a court date. Apparently, there is a leash law for cats in my town, and it is taken very seriously. FML
Today, I was doing homework in my room when my roommate started meowing all of a sudden. Not only was he meowing, he started to make loud cat noises that resembled a cat being run over by a car. He's gonna be my roommate for the rest of the year. FML
Today, my roommates adopted two kittens without consulting me. We're not allowed to have pets in our apartment and I'm severely allergic to cats. Oh well, it's not like I needed to be able to breathe this summer. FML
Today, I got scolded for how I treated my aunt and uncle's dogs while pet sitting. I was told it was my fault they had explosive diarrhea for "locking" them in the room they'd told me to put them in at night and doing everything they said when I reported they were sick. FML
Today, I received a lovely letter from the council telling me I have to cease the act of "breeding and selling cats" because someone from my Facebook reported me. I'm pretty sure I've never owned a cat or had one in my house. FML
Today, I got caught trying to steal my own cat back from my neighbor. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

YDI, but I'd hold a grudge against your roommate and the people downstairs.

The people who make these rules are just worried about people bringing tigers in.

GJ on finding that error; however, contigously it says "fine", but it should read "fined". G-Nazi FTW.

For some reason, I don't think you understood the whole situation of this FML at all. Don't post stupid, pointless comments

On his head, the only hair-growing place visible in his picture, but if I were like the majority of people on this site, I would've replied, "THREESOME!".

It was nice that you were trying to help, yet you shouldn't complain. You broke a rule. Even though some say rules are meant to be broken. YDI

Babysitting a cat isn't against the rules and you contradicted yourself when you said even though some rules are meant to be broken.

If the rule is "no cats in the apartment" they violated it. Whether the cat lives there or not is immaterial. Ask your neighbors to pay the fine.

If the same rules apply to you and your neighbor, why were you babysitting the cat to stop them from getting fined? Shouldn't they have asked a friend in a different apartment complex?
