Today, I was playing video games at 2am. My guinea pig started squealing at me, and wouldn't stop until I turned out the lights and got into bed. I'm 20 years old, and I've let a rodent dictate my bedtime. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I woke up to a squeaking noise and the feeling of something furry on my cheek. I smiled, thinking it was my guinea pigs nosing me awake. Then I remembered that my guinea pigs were in their cage on the other side of the room, and opened my eyes to see the biggest rat ever staring right at me. FML
Today, around 2:00 a.m. I had just sat down on my couch when I noticed one of my cats poking at what appeared to be a toy. I attempted to pick it up to play with the cat when it started to move like a mouse. I squealed like a girl and woke up my wife upstairs. I'm a 26-year-old man. FML
Today, my daughter's guinea pig got stuck behind the wardrobe, squeaking its head off. I tried pulling the wardrobe towards me to free him, but couldn't take the weight of it all, so it fell over, smashing the TV. The guinea pig is fine. FML
Today, I made my way to bed around 4am after spending all night hanging out with my family. When I got to my bed, I started to clear a spot to lay down. Almost immediately, my hand touched something furry and cold and, fearing the worst, I turned the light on. Turns out my cat left me a half eaten rodent. FML
Today, I was awoken at 1:30 a.m. by a strange noise, and something tugging on my hair. I opened my eyes, to find a very large rat sitting on my pillow, chewing my hair. FML
Today, at around 12 a.m. I went to bed, happy that I get to sleep in because I had nowhere be in the morning. Sadly that came to an end when I woke up around 7 a.m. to my mom coming home and screaming because she saw a mouse. FML

Today, at the age of 20, I still have a bed time. It is strictly enforced by my cat via endless meows if I am up past 11 pm. FML
Today, I was playing a video game that required me to hunt a few animals. My mom walked in, saw what I was doing, then went into her psycho vegan mode and started yelling at me. She basically grounded me for "murdering" pixels on a screen. FML
Today, I realized that the only one willing to hang out with me this summer is my guinea pig. FML

I bet you he was kibbitzing. "Watch out for the guy behind the car!", "No, save your grenades for later". Give him a few hours on COD or Black Ops or something and once he sees how lousy his KD ratio is I bet he shuts up until he grows opposable thumbs.

Isn't a guinea pig a rodent? I always thought they were nocturnal... hmm.. FYI anyways for listening to a guinea pig.

Not they aren't rodents, and no they aren't nocturnal

181 - I hate to break it to you but, while you are correct about guinea pigs being diurnal, they are in the order Rodentia...so yes they are a type of rodent.

Everyone saying he deserves this read before you vote. His guinea pig is whining because its tired and wants to go to bed, not because the kid is staying up too late. L2Perspective

Just cause he happens to play it at a late (or very early rather) hour, doesn't mean OP has no life or something.

So you have to be a kid to have a certain pet? Oh, I'll just call back the adoption center and tell them that.

He didn't say he can't own one. He just says it's weird. Any one can do whatever they want, but would you find it weird to see a 30 yr old man watching Barney by him self. I'm sure I'll get thumbed down for this.

Maybe you could have tried JUST turning off the lights and kept the TV on?

All I'm saying, is if OP is posting an FML about their guinea pig, it seemed the best solution :p
