Today, after moving in with a couple of vegan zoologists a few weeks ago, I discover that they don't believe that we have the right to kill cockroaches, and will not allow me to do so. The house is infested, and it's spread to my bedroom. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my pregnant girlfriend and I moved into our first home together, signing a 1-year lease. Less than 12 hours later, we've discovered that the place is infested with cockroaches and we have a mouse. The landlord won't let us out of the contract. FML
Today, after months of my girlfriend crying about cockroaches, I finally called and paid for an exterminator. Now she's furious at me for "making decisions for her" and she keeps pointing out that, since she owns the house, what I did was technically illegal. FML
Today, my boyfriend finally moved in with me, after being long distance for months. Our apartment just became infested with mice. FML
Today, an exterminator sprayed for cockroaches in my dorm room. After classes I got back to find three large cockroaches on top of my bed. Now that the exterminator has sprayed everything, all the cockroaches are coming out. FML
Today, my girlfriend won't stay over at my apartment anymore. Why? Because she saw a few roaches. Pest control comes every week and I spray every other day, so there's only so much I can about it. The worst part is now it's extremely difficult to spend time together because she lives with her mom and sister, who argue nonstop. FML
Today, I moved in with my new roommate. She's a vegetarian, and won't let me put my meat in the fridge because it will "contaminate her food". FML
Today, I’ve lived in my apartment for more than five years and never had more than the occasional housefly. Three months after I got new downstairs neighbors I’ve been hit with a massive roach infestation, and they decided to bring their lovely ant friends with them. FML
Today, I've lived in my apartment for over 5 years with no bugs, as I'm phobic of them. I broke up with my ex, who smirked at me and declared war. I now have thousands of roaches that I can't get rid of. Coincidence? FML
Today, my girlfriend and I moved back in after over a month of couch hopping and $2,000 of heat and chemical treatments for a chronic bedbug issue. I just found bedbugs on my legs. We've used all our favors and have nowhere to go. FML
Today, for the third day in a row, I have been volunteered to kill and dispose of the bugs entering my apartment. I live with two "manly" men who can't use a flyswatter. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Kill them anyway?

I don't care if they don't want cockroaches to die; I would go nuclear on those nasty creatures.

This might sound kinda mean, but I would put some roaches in their bed so they realize how terrible the infestation is. Cuz sooner or later it WILL end up in their bed.

Would the vegans be missed if there were an unfortunate accident? Vegans irritate me... they are like an advanced stage of hippie.

I think you accidentally write the word "advanced" somewhere. That doesn't seem right.

True zoologists understand the idea of needing to kill an animal to study it. I say this as a zoology student who believes in animal testing and who keeps a bug collection (yes, dead ones).

First of all, kill the cockroaches! -They don't pay rent -They are trespassing -They are violating your private quarters Second, don't shack up with vegans -They are evil -They deny us our basic right to eat critters that are nutricious and tasty -They think they are better than everyone else... ...actually, kill them too. I won't mind!

This fml made me recall an 80s movie, I think it was by Stephen King called "Creepshow." It was several short movies. One was about this germophobe grouchy old man who lived alone and ended up with a severe cockroach infestation. They ended up overtaking his home and ate him. And another movie called Joes Apartment. His roaches could talk.

Didn't you realize the issue while moving in?
