Today, I learned to check inside the oven before you preheat it. Sometimes children hide their pet rabbit in there. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, after 30 minutes of pre-heating the oven to make a special meatloaf for my husband's birthday, I remembered that I had hidden the cake in there. FML
Today, I learned where my mom's "special hiding spot" that I'll "never find" for the Halloween chocolate is, when I preheated the oven to make cookies. FML
Today, I watched our very clever cat turn on our oven with ease. I now fear for my children's lives. FML
Today, I was trying to cook a pizza for lunch at my in-laws. I preheated the oven and took my dog out to go potty. I come back in to find the house filled with smoke, the detector going off, and a fire in the oven. Apparently, my mother-in-law left a tray of glass candle holders in it. FML
Today, while house sitting, I went to take my pizza out of the oven, not realizing that the oven mitt had a hole in it. 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 learned how to use a fire extinguisher. Too bad it was on my brand new oven. FML
Today, my 8-year-old son microwaved his pet hamster. FML
Today, after meaning to do so for a while, I began cleaning my oven. I sprayed it with the foam cleaner stuff, closed the oven for the foam to soak in, then forgot about the whole thing. Later, I preheated the oven for a pizza and triggered a smoke alarm, which brought the fire department to my door. No pizza, just shame. FML
Today, I found out you really can burn down a kitchen by boiling an egg. FML

Wow, thanks for the protip... but then I imagine *anyone* with small children should probably check the oven first before preheating. The more you know.

That's animal cruelty to put a rabbit in the oven anyway. You're children should not have pets. I mean, the rabbits feet will hurt after that because their toes will have to spread out over the oven racks/coils and there is no fresh are in there. Your kids are assholes.

This has to be fake. A rabbit would be making a lot of noise in there, banging against the door trying to get out. There's no way the OP wouldn't see/hear him.

The person who did this was a CHILD. I would guess a small child. 4 would be my guess if you wanted a number, though I have no proof of that. Are you really going to call a little kid an asshole because it didn't occur to them that the bunnies feet might hurt? Kid's very rarely think in terms of the consequences of their actions, especially when those consequences effect someone other than themselves. It's just not the way their minds work at that stage.

Are you suggesting then that if a young child kicks a puppy, that's okay too because they don't think about the animal? And yes, I really called them assholes. Cause they are.

No because kicking a puppy hurts them instantly, while putting them in the oven takes a few minutes before it starts to hurt them. The worst it does immediately is scare them, but kdis don't usually think it's about emotional reactions of others either. kids think about immediate physical reactions, not long term consequences. And for a 4 year old 5 minutes is too far in the future. I'm not saying it's a good thing. Infact, it's pretty horrible some of the stuff that kids get up to because they haven't figured out that other things have feelings, or that actions have consequences besides the immediate, but it doesn't make them an asshole. It just makes them the same sort of fool that every other kid is.

All I can say, is that rabbit in oven is not nearly as hilarious as Little Audrey in oven.

who says the rabbit died without a fight? it probably did bang around and then OP found it and felt horrible when they couldnt save it.

Agreed, any sane person always checks the pre-heat shelf height or you spend time defeating the purpose of heating the oven whilst the door is open. Some people actually can remember where they left the shelf and do not need to look and make sure. Almost the only time I ever open the oven before pre-heating is if I KNOW that the shelf needs to be moved. The other times are when I'm babysitting, because I have cooked too many non-food things before with my younger sisters. Thankfully I have never had that happen with anything living.

Well, if your kid id dumb enough to put an animal in an oven, then he really should not have a pet. If your kid is over the age of ten and NOT developmentally disabled, then he's a complete moron who is a future danger to society.
