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

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

i'm tired of people bitching about how others don't care about their damn pets. some of us have more important things to worry about, like school, work, and taking care of our families. if you love your pet that's fine, just don't expect the rest of us to.

People who have pets but don't care about them,people who complain about those that do care about their pets, people who seem to feel that pet or not no one should care about an animal's safety. Those are the things people really complain about and not so much the people who don't care about pets that are not their own. Sure there are some people who bitch when others don't care that their cat can do back flips or open a door but they actually aren't the main stream.

#128 you'd be surprised how often I get berated for not loving my friends' animals, especially when it comes to cats, which i'm allergic to.

I wouldn't necessarily be surprised because they are the pets that belong to your friends. Friends tend to have these weird thoughts that if they care about something then you should too simply because your their friend. Caring about them = caring about everything they care about, basically. It doesn't usually work out that way but it seems to be a lot of people's thought process. I don't know your friends so I can't really judge but I do know my friends, various family members friends, and friends of my friends and this is usually how it works. If you were constantly being berated by random strangers for not caring about their cats that would be more surprising.

YDI for having a soulless creature like a cat.

Cats are no more soulless than a dog, human, or any other living creature.
