Today, I finished painting my living room. I had to leave the house in a rush. When I got home, I found smears of paint all around and the carpet crusted with paint that had dried. My cat had rubbed up against the walls and tracked it around. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I finished a painting I'd spent 3 weeks working on for an exhibition. When I came back from lunch, my cat was perched above it on my desk. He looked at me, then down at the painting, then jumped down onto it. He slipped and smeared the wet paint everywhere, ruining the whole thing. FML
Today, I painted my daughter's bedroom. When I wasn't paying attention, the cat walked through the paint tray. There are now Barney purple paw prints all over the house. FML
Today, while I was painting, my little nephew came in and started watching me. I left to clean my brushes. When I came back into the room, my nephew had spilled paint all over the carpet making a rainbow. It took me 5 hours to clean it up. FML
Today, I spent the afternoon painting my bedroom and was really pleased with how it turned out. When I moved the furniture back, I noticed a large patch behind the wardrobe I'd missed. The paint shop had closed, and I had no idea which shade I'd used. FML
Today, I was quite happily glossing my new bathroom door, when my useless, alcoholic, housemate came rolling in, knocked the paint over, stood in it, and without realising, walked it all the way down the stairs. I had just had a brand new carpet fitted. FML
Today, I was painting my bedroom walls, when I was struck with an uncontrollable bout of diarrhea. I had to watch helplessly from the en-suite bathroom as my 2 year old daughter painted a lovely picture for me, all over my new $500 sofa. FML
Today, I painted my daughter's room with the new paint we bought. It's an oil-based paint which hides all blemishes on the wall, but apparently makes me sick. I'm now throwing up everywhere, but at least the room looks good. FML
Today, I babysat my niece and thought a quick shower would be fine. I left her watching cartoons with a blanket and returned to find she’d used washable paints on the carpet and her hands, leaving tiny colorful footprints to the couch. Her proud smile made me forgive the mess, but I spent the evening scrubbing. FML
Today, my husband and I cleaned our house. We swept, mopped, vacuumed, dusted, and scrubbed. We moved the furniture and got in the cracks. We were extremely thorough. At 9 p.m., our cat had diarrhea and he got it all over himself. He didn't know what to do, so he ran through the house, spraying poop everywhere. FML
Today, after three weeks of hard work, I finally finished painting my room. Apparently my 6-year-old brother thought I wasn't done and that he should help me out. I now have little red handprints all over my white walls. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

YDI for leaving your cat in the living room with all the paint fumes, which could have killed it. F the cats life, not yours. He/she probably rubbed up against the walls for revenge.

My cat steped in the paint pan and tracked little white foot prints across the whole house. As that wasn't enough. he did it again the next day when were finishing up. I feel for you OP. I'm stating to think we should have installed the doors Before painting the walls.

123: you do know that every time you smack your face with a hammer a kitten dies, right? It has to be a hard smack, too, not just some light tap. Break some bones!

#19 people like you deserve to die for thinking anyone should care about a damn cat. ever.
Person1233 13
Why should anybody die for caring about an animal? When you get a pet, you become attached to it, no matter it be a cat, dog, turtle, etc.
rasta_pasta 4
It's an animal, it doesn't care about you anymore than a damn rock does. People need to stop anthropomorphizing their pets and trying to convince others to the same. No one cares how "cute" your stupid animal is and no once cares about your damn pet stories.
illmatic2 16
61- There are lots of pets out there that do care about their owners. I have heard stories of pets actually saving their owners life.
rasta_pasta 4
My heart's in my damn chest pumping my blood where it belongs. and 68# just because an animal can grasp the fact that its owner is its meal ticket does not mean they "care". They're animals, not people.
rasta_pasta 4
There's no such thing as the "grinch", grow the hell up.
illmatic2 16
Haha I agree with candy. and yeah I heard that story.

rasta_pasta sounds like he hasn't got any in years... if ever. Stop being a grouch, dude. You're acting like the Grinch, which ironically is what you were bitching about earlier.
