Today, I came home to an eviction notice after an apartment inspection. The reason? Having an unauthorized pet that could cause unnecessary damage to my suite. My pet is a goldfish. FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I came home to a lease violation and a $220 fine after a routine pest control visit. The violation: my single beta fish in a small bowl. FML
Today, it was confirmed that the "no pet rule" in my apartment complex is so strict that I'm not even allowed to have sea monkeys. FML
Today, my apartment complex added $250 to the $1,000 my roomate and I already owe because of an unauthorized pet and complaints from neighbors that our dog barks all night long. We don't have a dog, we don't even have a pet. FML
Today, I was able to land a nice apartment solely based on the fact that my puppy is potty trained. During the required pet interview, my dog 'got sick' and defecated all over the apartment office. I now have to clean the mess knowing that I will not be allowed to live there. FML
Today, I called the landlord about the mouse I keep seeing in my kitchen. He wasted no time accusing me of keeping it as a pet, and went off on me about his "No Pets" policy. FML
Today, I got home from work to find an eviction notice taped to my door, stating that I was a nuisance and had 30 days to vacate the property. I live at home with my parents. FML
Today, while doing some spring cleaning, I found the remains of my goldfish, which I was sure my cat ate last year. FML
Today, I woke up to shit on my floor and my cat hiding under my comforter. I have to get rid of my new fish because my cat is afraid of it. FML
Today, I bought a new goldfish. While leaving my fish on my balcony to go get fish food, I hear a loud squawk and splash, I race outside to see a bird flying off with my fish. FML
Today, my sister presented me with an "official pet killer" award after yet another goldfish under my care died of unknown causes. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Magikarp uses splash! It was super effective

Well, Nemo and his friends did make quite a mess of the dentist office when he tried to escape. Could happen.

Actually, your goldfish turned out to be Goldeen, which evolve into Dealing. I would listen to that notice and get rid of that as soon as possible. I know a cute ginger in Cerulean City who would take it off you hands....

*Seaking ...and that wasn't meant to be a reply. My apologies...

Hey those goldfish are pretty dangerous creatures. You let 'em out of the bowl and they will attack you gotta watch your back!
Sparks808 10
Ah, but Magikarp evolves into Gyarados, a most fearsome Pokemon. The landlord must have been thinking ahead.

It's fun to use our imagikarpations, it helps us think of the pokémon puns we are 'seaking'. On am unrelated note, when I sneeze I go "pikaCHU"! -"bless chu" Raichu are in thinking that these puns could go on forever.

How could the goldfish turn out to be a goldeen? They look nothing alike! And your missing that horn too :P Every badass out there has a Magikarp in his house like a boss! Haha

That's a fishy situation..

I dont get it why people select YDI on this post it makes no sense of deserving a suite inspection becouse of a goldfish ! 12 year old Russian kids, GTFO from this site go play COD something waste your shitty time somewhere else! Or learn proper English and develop some logic....

Hey 71- new here?

71 - Who shit on your doorstep?

OP probably should have read their lease. If there's a strict no pet policy, goldfish count no matter how silly it sounds. I'd imagine that's where the YDI's come in play.

Must have been a large goldfisg

...YDI? No. Clearly this is ridiculous. So, yes FYL OP

He's worried it will evolve into a gyarados. If that happens, good fight home.

Ah yes, the destructive power of a goldfish causing a tidal wave in the apartment.

Think of the mold that could grow if water spills!!
DooleyFTW 17
Yes 41 because when water spills most people just leave it there to soak and make mold grow you got it perfectly right.

The horror, the horror. Those damn goldfish are the scourge of the apartment world. You deserve it for having such such a horrible animal in your apartment. How DARE you risk yourself and the neighbors with your poor and dangerous choice of pets.
odexy 12
Actually, speaking from my experience living in apartments, people DO just leave their puddles to soak up on the ground. I was living in a place where someone left a pool of water on their floor that eventually leaked into my apartment and completely ruined my ceiling... I'm not the only person that I've heard this happen to either. Bathrooms are the worst though, with idiots leaving their soaked shower curtains hanging over the floor and dripping into the apartment below theirs...

Goldfish or coldswish we're all just the same, put on your glasses and steady your aim. You shouldn't have had animals inside your suite, now the landlords inspector put you out on your feet, left alone like a baby kicked off of the teet, why don't you complain or write up a tweet. Because the rest of the world hasn't missed a beat.

It's our job to see what twisted post we can make up.

Reminds me of the goldfish explosion of '82...my country was never the same again...
THE_A_TEEN 28
Which country was that? The U.S.S.R.?

9-Ah, the Goldfish Rush of 1946 was quite crazy down in Tennessee, right down in Fort Knox. Crazy government conspiracy to allow goldfish to take over the world. Almost mind boggling.

It was Chenoble.. They tried to cover up the destructive power of the goldfish, but that landlord knew better
LordMinion 9
You spelled 'Chernobyl' wrong. If you're going to reference something, at least take a second to learn how to spell it right!

Ninja goldfish?

Seems like the landlord(s) hate you and are looking for a fishy reason to legally evict you.
ByronJess 17
If the OP didn't follow what their lease agreement says about pets, then the landlords aren't doing anything illegal. My lease agreement says that I can't have any pets, including fish, without first paying $300
