Animals: Today, my friend is furious with me because while I was watching...

Today, my friend is furious with me because while I was watching her various fish for two weeks, I failed to feed her favorite fish and it died. The reason I didn't take care of it was because she never told me she had it, that it was in her room unlike the rest of the fish, so I never saw it. FML

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 went to see a fortune teller. She said one of my closest friends will die soon because of me. Frightened I hurried home to avoid meeting anyone I know. At home I found my goldfish floating on its back. Apparently I forgot to feed my closest friend for the past 3 days. FML

Today, I excitedly showed my new roommate my pet fish. She then told me about how she purposely starved her last fish to see how long it would take before they started eating each other before starving to death. FML

Today, my neighbor called me on vacation to tell me that she let my mother into my house to feed my fish. I don't have fish, and my mother passed away 3 years ago. FML

Today, my 9 year-old little sister is coming back to town with the rest of my family. She specifically asked me to feed her fish. I totally forgot until she called me 10 minutes ago to tell me she was on her way home and couldn't wait to see her fishie. He's dead. FML

My regret

Today, my little sister put me in charge of keeping her fighting fish alive. It would've been an easy task if it weren't for my crazy ex-boyfriend drunkenly forcing his way into my house, vomiting into the fishbowl and killing the fish. Only ten more hours until my family gets home. 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, I bought a fish. I put the tank on top of the fridge so my cat wouldn't get at it. I'd forgotten to buy some things for its tank, so I quickly ran out to get them. When I got home, I saw the tank destroyed on the floor, and my cat devouring my fish. I had the fish for less than an hour. FML

Today, I was making the daily commute to work when suddenly my mother calls me, crying that there's been a death in the family, then abruptly hangs up. I speed home, to find my mother holding the tiny corpse of a fish that she got 2 weeks ago. I got fired for being late to work. FML

Next time she can buy the automated fish feeders on amazon instead if she is going to blame you for her mistake.

Sounds more like your friend's problem than yours. It's not your fault that you didn't snoop around their house, and actually demonstrates some character that you didn't. Hopefully your friend will grow up and get over it.

So, she's mad at herself for being able to prevent it but didn't, & this is somehow YOUR concern? How rude!

I bet that is exactly what happened. She's probably mad at herself because she killed her own fish and forgot to tell you about it/clarify her instructions, and instead of facing and dealing with that, it's easier to blame you. So not ok. I bet you might still feel a bit guilty thinking maybe you should've noticed or done something differently, but this is not on you op. And if your friend can stop blaming you for a moment, she can realize that her miscommunication and clarification was just an accident on her part too. It's no ones fault; accidents happen and it's unfortunate this one did.

Oh gee, someone who would rather shift the blame than take responsibility for their own mistakes. Honestly though, that seems to be the modus operandi these days. Definitely wasn't your fault, OP.
