I'm from southern Indiana in the US. When something shits the bed it means something malfunctioned or something went horribly wrong. And, believe me, horrible is and understatement. I had to wear a respirator while I cleaned this up!

not sure what "freezer shit the bed" means. so I'm just going to assume it stopped working & your meat spoiled
I think it's a southern USA setting. For what I've read, it comes from the fact that a persons bowels release on death, and that they were in their deathbed already. So they shit the (death) bed. But it can also refer to a major failure in an object, coming back to the shitting in the bed due to some sort of illness or lack of muscle control. In short- "shit the bed" means broken.
This is probably the weirdest sounding FML I have ever heard...
50 pounds of meat.. sorry for your lo$$.
We're docking you points for inappropriate and confusing usage of the phrase "shit the bed." You really shit the bed on this one.
except australians dont use pounds.

Dude. People comment with personal opinions and preferences on this site all the time. Don't be rude.
Seems like an appropriate expression in this situation.
Homeowners insurance covers things like that sometimes, you should check your policy.
"Shit the Bed" is a very common phrase here in New Zealand (Australia too I believe). It basically just means it broke down (spectacularly).

I'm from southern Indiana too and I've never really heard this. I kinda put 2 and 2 together tho so it made sense
