Today, I heard a loud crashing noise. I ran into the kitchen to see what it was. My cat had knocked over my fish bowl and had my Beta in her mouth. After scolding her and rescuing it, I decided to clean its bowl. When I went to dump some of the water in the sink, my fish went down the drain. FML

Today, I bought a fish bowl and a fish for $15. I brought him home and sat him on my desk. Everything was going well until the shelf gave out and his bowl slid off of the shelf... onto my $2,000 computer. The computer is fried and is not covered by the insurance, the fish is fine. FML

Today, I finally found out why my fish were dying in their tank. My younger sister had been spraying detergent in there because she wanted "to make the fish smell like lemons". FML

Today, I bought a fish. I put the tank on top of the fridge so my cat wouldn't get at it. I'd forgotten to buy some things for its tank, so I quickly ran out to get them. When I got home, I saw the tank destroyed on the floor, and my cat devouring my fish. I had the fish for less than an hour. FML

Today, I was walking to the pet store to buy a month's worth of fish food for my fish so I wouldn't have to come back for a while. For fish food it was expensive. It was also surprisingly heavy and I had to carry it back to my house. When I got home, I saw my fish floating at the top of its bowl. FML

Today, I found out my friends replaced the water in my bottle with vodka when all my fish died. Any water I don't finish the night before, I pour into my tank the next morning. Thousands of dollars and years hard work, gone. FML

I'm hypothesizing that the fish died... Right?

Even if it was accidental I want to know how that could even happen.

Exactly, why was dropping into the tank even a possibility?

Her fish tank is obviously kept in the pantry. While grabbing some things for dinner she bumped the instant mashed potatoes and it poured into the fish tank. Could have happened to anyone....crazy enough to keep their fish in the pantry.

What the hell were you even doing with instant potatos over the top of you open fish tank?

Expensive fish demand mashed potatoes made by hand with butter, bacon bits and 6-year-aged Cheddar. That's why I buy Walmart fish. They eat French fries and Pringles.
