Today, it was confirmed that the "no pet rule" in my apartment complex is so strict that I'm not even allowed to have sea monkeys. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I came home to an eviction notice after an apartment inspection. The reason? Having an unauthorized pet that could cause unnecessary damage to my suite. My pet is a goldfish. FML
Today, my landlord came to my apartment because of complaints from my neighbors, saying that animals are not allowed inside. Turns out my roommate makes cat-noises when she's bored. My landlord still doesn't believe me. FML
Today, my roommates adopted two kittens without consulting me. We're not allowed to have pets in our apartment and I'm severely allergic to cats. Oh well, it's not like I needed to be able to breathe this summer. FML
Today, I came home to a lease violation and a $220 fine after a routine pest control visit. The violation: my single beta fish in a small bowl. FML
Today, I was denied an animal adoption because I said "babies" instead of "kittens". Apparently that means I'm not serious about pet ownership. What?! FML
Today, I learned that my new apartment complex does not allow "altercations in community areas". This includes pulling my child out of the pool and reprimanding him for holding his cousin under water. I can't parent outside my apartment. FML
Today, my apartment complex added $250 to the $1,000 my roomate and I already owe because of an unauthorized pet and complaints from neighbors that our dog barks all night long. We don't have a dog, we don't even have a pet. FML
Today, my condo board refused to lift the new policy, which requires pet owners to carry their dogs in common areas after someone's dog kept peeing in the hall. I can't physically carry my two dogs, so I'm now forced to wheel them through the building in a borrowed baby stroller. FML
Today, I called the landlord about the mouse I keep seeing in my kitchen. He wasted no time accusing me of keeping it as a pet, and went off on me about his "No Pets" policy. FML
Today, my upstairs neighbors, in my supposedly pet-free apartment complex, got a puppy. It’s a Great Dane. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Sad, I dunno what I'd do without my dog. Pets are wonderful as long as they're responsibly kept, that's most likely why they don't allow them. They can't trust anyone. FyL :(

And ydi because you should've known this upon moving in.. If you want general freedoms, stop renting.

So totally presumptuous, it seems that pets are not allowed in your house, which does not seem such a bad thing, given the fact that the enemies of freedom invariably say come in peace, which is obviously not to convince the heads of wood. Am I mistaken?

Pet rocks?

I am mortified astonishment at reading this phrase: "pet rocks". What may well be the meaning? Should we read it in a Sartrean sense or mauracienne? And how to understand the maturation-related pet? We are in antithès overall and I am totally helpless

Yes I am wondering why people are trying to bully people off this site like they own it. No matter your personal opinion of Layla you have no right to tell her to leave. Stalker much? So piss off and mind your own business keeping in mind this site is for entertainment not to pick on little girls. Not sure why mods allow those comments but half of mine like "bacon bits" gets deleted. Nice job mods.

Call them "service sea monkeys" and that you need them for some medical reason. Now they are not pets (they have a job) and the ADA law will back you up. Problem solved.
