Today, my favorite fish died. To make things better my parents thought to take me out to dinner. We ate sushi. FML

A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

Today, my mom was criticizing how I can't handle taking care of any living thing because I'm too irresponsible. We had a huge argument so I went back to my apartment, only to find that my fish had died. I forgot I had a fish. FML

Today, I received a few new fish for my aquarium as presents for my birthday. It just so happened that these fish were carrying diseases that left me with a tank full of dead fish. Happy birthday. FML

Today, my family asked where I wanted to go for my birthday dinner. They shot down my every suggestion and decided on sushi. I'm allergic, so the only thing I could eat was a veggie appetizer. Dad said I need to "expand my palate." FML

Today, while I was working at a sushi restaurant, a guy told me he wanted the table next to the "koi fish tank", because he wanted to let the fish know what happens when they "cross him". FML

Today, I bought a new Siamese Fighting Fish. I was so happy with my new fish so I bought him an expensive lovely bowl, some weeds, and a toy for the bowl. I left the room to get the fish food. When I returned, the fish was gone, and the cat was sitting on the table. FML

Today, was very chilly. My little sister felt sorry for my two goldfish swimming in the cold water. She decided to put them in hot water. They died. FML

Today, I came home after having traveled abroad for the last two months. Before I left, I'd asked my dad to take care of my fish, and he promised they'd be safe with him. I found them all decomposing. FML

To all the people saying "it's a fish, grow up": You're all idiots. To you it may be a fish, but to op it was a frikin' pet, A PET!!!!! You don't know op, or his life, or his human-animal relationship with his ******* pet. Honestly if you're saying this, you either: 1) Horrible fish owners 2) Tryin to fill that hole in your heart by insulting people who own a pet 3) View fish as a food source Either way you guys should shut the **** up!! Morons....

Wait, how is viewing fish as a food source bad? Fish are tasty and wonderful sources of protein!

And yet in the end isn't it still a fish?

The point is that that fish was a beloved pet to the OP. Would any of you eat your pet dog, or cat? Some people view those as a food source too.

Because fish is food and some people will think that owning a fish is rediculous and the people who own them as total idiots.

I didn't say anything bad about the OP losing a pet, it's indeed sad.. but that still doesn't answer the question as to why thinking of fish as food is a bad thing?

^ I'm kinda curious about that myself. My wife has pet fish, we eat fish, we have no problems with this. But, as a side note, for someone who acts so hostile, he does seem surprising compassionate towards people suffering loss. Interesting. :)

Fish are friends! Not food!

A dog is a pet. To some, even a cat is a pet. Fish are food.

bringing your own fish is cheaper

I'm not big on fish being a viable pet to feel emotion over since you can easily obtain a bunch of them for free, but it is understandable to feel a connection to something so small especially if it is OP only form of companionship. However, associating sushi with a pet fish is a bit silly since sushi can be something other than raw fish and OP could have easily ordered a variety without fish if he/she felt so emotionally attached to the fish.

So you can understand being emotionally attached to a $400.00 koi fish? But it's the ones that are free that can go to hell.... Hmmm...ok. Stay in the shallow end; pun intended.

Regardless of price, which never determines emotional connection, I did say I understand why someone would be emotionally attached to such a pet; therefore, my comment did show some sympathy for the OP.

How could anyone say YDI on this one? What the hell could this person possibly have done to deserve it? Seriously some of you need to get a life and stop randomly pressing YDI on every story because you think it's fun. seriously, that's lame

You can get sushi without fish in it, so...

When you care fora pet every day, you get attached and mourn when it dies. My dad has a koi pond with a dozen koi inside. One in particular named "molly" is 29yrs old and huge. As long as I remember, he had Molly in his pond. It would be sad to visit one day, and Molly doesnt swim up to you mouthing for food. You can pet her and she doesnt swim away.
