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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my mum asked me how the guinea pig was doing. We don't have a guinea pig. Turns out she had volunteered me to look after the next door neighbor's guinea pig when they were away and 'forgot' to tell me. They have been gone two weeks. FML
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
Today, I learnt that my guinea pig can shoot poop across the room like a tiny brown torpedo. How did I find this out? It landed in my coffee. It wasn't until after I'd finished my coffee that I noticed it. FML
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, I found out that my beloved guinea pig has impaction. For the rest of his life it will be my duty to clean out his rectum manually every month, or every week/day if it gets worse. FML
Today, I was cleaning out my new guinea pig cage for the first time because one of them had babies last night. After using a spatula to shovel up the 3 inch layer of crap and placenta, I decided to hose it down. The hose came on so hard, it sprayed the dung and birth water all over my face. FML
Today, I agreed to buy my girlfriend a piggle for Christmas. The pig is miniature. The noise it makes is not. Oh, and I just found out it's not living with her, but with me. FML
Today, I found a decomposing hamster deep in my closet. My daughter had hidden "Peach" after accidentally killing it and said it had ran away a month ago. And I'd believed her. FML
Today, I was at my uncle’s farm and his pig had piglets. They looked super adorable, so I picked one up. The poor thing started shrieking bloody murder. Mama pig wasn’t too happy. I have the stitches to prove it. FML
Today, my husband was using the microwave when we suddenly hear a huge 'POP'. The good news is we found our daughter's missing hamster. FML

Better the TV than the guinea pig.

Aw, just get another TV. A life is more valuable than a TV, even if it's not a human life

Why didn't you clear off the dresser first? YDI for not thinking it through. But now that you don't have the tv maybe you could use that time to work out so that you can handle this situation in the future!

D: I was so scared you were going to say the wardrobe fell on the guinea pig. So glad you didn't.

Did anyone else misread "Today, my daughter's guinea pig got stuck behind the wardrobe, squeaking its head off." as SQUEEZING its head off? I did when I first skimmed this, and thought this was a much more... gruisome... fml then it turned out to be, haha. That aside, it could have been worse. I'm sorry you lost your TV but at least you saved the guinie pig. Remember, a young child would probably have had to go through the entire grieving process if it lost its pet. I know you hate losing the TV, but it's certainly better than watching your daughter go through all that! haha.

Why didn't you take the TV off the wardrobe? Then you would have a good TV and a good guniea pig. YDI for not using common sense

piggies are nice pets, I used to have one.. but yeah I can imagine how annoying the squealing must have been with it stuck behind the wardrobe.. still is your fault for not being careful enough while trying to move it
