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

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, my daughter brought home her class hamster for the weekend. It escaped and we spent hours searching for it. We later found it in the fridge, eating our leftover pizza. I never knew hamsters had such a refined palate. FML
Today, I accidentally left my sister's hamster's cage open and it escaped. My dad recently put mouse traps down. Guess where I found her. FML

Today, I was babysitting my neighbour's six hamsters. My cat got in the room and opened the cage. I came home to no hamsters in sight and a very satisfied looking cat. FML
Today, my sister brought her class hamster home from school. Somehow it escaped from its cage, and ran into my room. My boyfriend, thinking it was a mouse, stomped on it. I'm stuck cleaning hamster guts from my carpet, and have to explain to a kindergarten class what happened to their pet. FML
Today, I found my beloved hamster, Toofie. Toofie escaped from his cage. 4 years ago. FML

he didn't notice the hamster in there when he put the food in?

I'm not sure how you could not notice a frantic furry animal in your microwave.

It's not like either of them did it on purpose.

We don't know that.

My guess would be the hamster was in the food before it got placed in the microwave. Either way, that's unfortunate. Sorry op.

good logic. I wouldn't have thought of that.

Wow. That sounds pretty nasty.... My stomach is churning just thinking of the mess

I'm having a hard time figuring out how the hamster got inside in the first place, and secondly how it wasn't noticed!

I'm sort of tall and I cannot see all the way into our microwave unless I stoop a bit. I never think to make the extra effort to properly look into the microwave, although after this FML I probably will from now on to make sure nothing is in there that shouldn't be.

What a mess to have to clean up... and who doesn't check the microwave before using it?

What a mess to clean?! I'd be tossing the microwave and getting a new one. With a clear door and a child lock.

Do you leave your microwave door open? How did the little guy get in there in the first place?!

One should not operate such sophisticated equipment while drunk.

My first thought was that the hamster bit through the wires of the microwave which could have created a pop sound

I kinda wanna cry now. Poor little hamster's last moments were terrible.

I suffer emotional detachment and don't feel for people, but animals I feel a great amount of love for, and this makes me want to cry as well (I rarely cry). That poor wee mite suffered in his last moments. :(
