Today, I dragged my grill outside in the freezing cold to cook a steak for New Year's day. I left my spatula in the garage, and I set the still-wrapped steak on the grill. I was only gone 45 seconds, but that was long enough for my cat to open the wrapper and run off with my steak in his jaws. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, my husband and I cooked our first dinner of the year, some grilled steak. The moment we turned our backs to put out the fire, the dog snatched half of it. FML
Today, I put my perfectly-broiled steak portion in the microwave to keep it from the cats while it rested. I accidentally hit "cook" instead of "timer". My perfect rare steak is now almost perfectly half-leather and half-charcoal. FML
Today, my grandpa decided to charcoal-grill some steaks. Inside the house. FML
Today, I made several beautiful steaks on the grill, then set them to rest. While I left to use the bathroom, my four year-old decided they looked yucky and poured syrup on them. My wife was too busy giggling and recording it to stop her. FML
Today, my mom sent me home with some delicious-looking BBQ ribs because I'd missed a cookout due to work. I set them on the counter, intent on putting them in the oven, but had to make a quick run to the bathroom. I came back to find my roommate's cat sitting in the plate, covered in sauce, as he helped himself. FML
Today, I dropped my phone in the frying pan whilst cooking my steak. I had to rinse off the oil immediately and clean the phone, then had to eat a cold steak. FML
Today, I made dinner for myself after a long day full of annoying family drama. I had the pan sizzling away when I went to grab some herbs from the fridge. As I turned around, I tripped on the rug, sending the entire frying pan of food flying into the air. It landed directly in front of my never-endingly hungry dogs, so I watched as my ruined dinner disappeared. FML
Today, I took mine and my sister's dog for a walk in the park near my house. The dog managed to find a large piece of rotting, frozen meat buried in the snow and tried to eat it. I had to pry it from his mouth and can't get the smell out of my gloves and coat. FML
Today, I spent my entire day off making a brisket. It had been cooking for 8 hours when, just before dinner, I went for a quick jog. In that time my girlfriend came home and ruined it by trying to make it the way she wanted. I'm a chef and she's an office worker. We couldn't eat it. FML
Today, to save money, I bought some meat in bulk. When I got home, I was told that power to the neighborhood was out, and probably would be for days. Rather than let the meat rot, I barbecued it all and gave it away to my neighbors. The power came on while everyone was eating. FML

Either you were cooking a small steak or you have one big cat.

My cat stole a steak out of my hand once as I moved it from the fridge to the grill. He's never looked at me so viciously as when I tried to take it from him.

This may seem like a stupid question, but why were you grilling outside in the cold during winter? Usually people use BBQ's during the summer, I thought? Although, that does sound like something my mother or granny would do, to avoid the smell of cooking travelling through the whole house...

Winter BBQ's are the best kind of BBQ.

My dad also bbq's in the winter in the snow. Some people just really crave a bbq'd steak or something and they just bundle up.

Cats are pretty sneaky when it comes to food

"Honey, get my gun!" "Why, what's wrong?" "Imma kill me a ****** cat!"

Maybe the cat's own food isn't good enough?

I guess your cat had a Fancy Feast

I voted both, because that sucks, but you could have closed or put the cover on the grill while you were away.

Really? He was gone for 45 seconds. Who goes to the bother of covering the grill for such a short time just in case ninja kitty comes and swipes the meat?
