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

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
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

I saw YDI for caring more about a TV than your daughter's pet.

it makes me really sad that people apparently don't seem to value the lives of all living creatures, just "legitimate" pets like cats or dogs. everything else seems to be fair game to mock or abuse and say "lol who gives a shit".

I rescued my cat from the engine of my car, I was kind of frantic and ended up doing a lil bit of damage under the hood and payed a bit in vet bills, but he's a happy cat now, his name is "Hemi." While it cost a bit, I don't regret it one bit. And as seeing the TV was in her bedroom, I highly doubt that was the only TV in the house, so I don't see the big deal.

thats why you take the TV OFF the wardrobe BEFORE you move it. duh

you had a tv on top, you pulled it toward yourself, and it tipped over... so by pulling it toward yourself you mean that you tipped it towards yourself? as in you angled it, WHILE there was a heavy, fragile, expensive tv on top of it... unless i'm really not understanding how this played out you're REALLY mechanically disinclined.

yeah, because a fly is the same as a guinea pig.

Its your own damn fault for those kind of actions, a guinea pig is very small so only a few cm's of tilting the wardrobe would be enough. And even a 5 year old can support that weight.
