Today, I walked into my apartment and smelled something extremely repugnant. I asked my roommate what had happened and she said, "I didn't know how else to kill it!" She'd trapped a bat that was in our apartment, put it in the oven, and set it to 400 degrees. FML

Today, there was a horrible smell in my kitchen. I tried to find the source, but failed and had to leave for the day. That night, my brother informed me that the smell was coming from a dead mouse stuck in our toaster. FML
Today, I saw a bat in a cabinet. I slammed the cabinet as hard as I could, which knocked the bat off the door and got its head stuck between the two doors, decapitating it. Its two beady eyes were judging me. I haven't even had my coffee yet. FML
Today, I found out that I have mice because my landlady got rid of the community cats that were keeping them outside, and apparently my cats aren't taking care of them. I found out when I turned on my oven and my apartment was filled with an awful smell that turned out to be burning mouse crap. 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 finally found out what that weird smell in my apartment was. My ex-boyfriend had been breaking into my apartment and hiding rotting fruit all over the place. I found this out when a ceiling panel fell and a swarm of fruit flies attacked me. FML
Today, I was laying in bed when my sister came running in, scared. I took my bat and went into the kitchen where the suspicious noise was coming from. It was a rat, right in the middle of the floor. I jumped on the counter and shrieked, just as my girlfriend walked in, who then actually dealt with it. FML
Today, I walked into my apartment after work, only be to greeted by an awful smell. I searched every inch of the place, convinced something had died. After an hour of searching around, I found the source: a single forgotten boiled egg in one of my backpack's pockets. I will never forget the smell of sulphur or whatever it was. FML
Today, I found out that the horrific smell coming from somewhere in my kitchen was a rotting dead mouse that somehow got stuck in my dishwasher. I have been eating off plates washed in dead mouse water for the past week. FML
Today, while attempting a DIY pest removal, one of our tenants lit a skunk on fire. FML
Today, I came home to the vilest stench I've ever smelled. I had to open a floor vent and scoop up the turd that was inside. Funnily enough, today was the day my scumbag roommate moved out, but I'm sure he had absolutely nothing to do with it. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Why would it even be necessary to kill it?

Why not just capture it and release it outside?? It would be less messy and more humane..

Ma'am, no. OP should bury it.

Wow imagine that a sense of humor finally! Everyone else acts like they would've given the bat CPR.
JunglePanfa 11
"Humour" doesn't come in to this; this FML is not a joke, it's something that actually happened to a sentient and innocent being, and as decent people, the commenters are horrified that OP's roommate is such a monster.

Are you serious? We are just marveling at animal cruelty and human stupidity.

what the hell is wrong with you
magickitten 26
That is all kinds of crazy. Unnecessary and cruel.

That's horrible! OP, your roommate is a jackass. Why did she need to turn the oven on?! She could've left it off and NOT burned it to death, and called either animal control or a sanctuary to come get it. Or better yet she should've kept her cool and tried to coax the poor thing outside until she succeeded! It was probably more terrified than her, and I can't believe it seemed necessary to her to roast it alive. How utterly despicable. **** the BAT'S life, which was cruelly cut short by an idiot :T
ohishkabibble 21
I actually just realized it says she caught it THEN put it in the oven. Why didn't she just throw it outside? Is she a COMPLETE dimwit?
DanielleinDC 33
Or is she a complete lunatic who doesn't think that if she can catch a bat, she can find a way to get him/her outside without hurting him/her. You might want to consider looking for a new place where you don't have to live with someone who is either completely stupid or completely insane.

and just when you think you have read it all on this site some idiot sticks a bat in the oven.

Don't be silly, there's always more to read on FML! There will never be a shortage of stupid people. ;)
elcee1987 18
Right? This was my thought. I'll never get tired of this site

Poor bat!
FemskyD 26
Hmm if it flew into the oven i see her point but otherwise.. Here a suggestion open a window?
arandomusernameaa 20
1) Who on earth leaves the oven doors open. 2) Unlikely that that bat would fly in. 3) Why would you shut the door on it and bake it.
MrMcRooster 17
She didn't have to kill the bat when it was in the oven. She could've called animal control or even her roommate to get it out There was no reason why that animal had to die.
hordriss 14
Your roommate is a cruel bastard. Why not set it free outside after capturing it. Cooking the poor thing alive? Despicable.
catanita 18
Put him in the oven at 500 degrees. That is pure evil. Did you asked him why he didn't released it after trapped it?
soulebelius 17
*her.

Poor bat, they aren't even that scary! They're just little puffs that have wings.
metalcrazed 21
They are rabies carrying animals with sharp fangs.
smokecloud_ 37
Most animals have sharp teeth.
Raesin 21
Not every bat has rabies genius. Dogs also carry rabies and have sharp teeth, maybe we should have them all destroyed, just in case.
nevereyes 31
More likely to get rabies from a dog them a bat.....
