Today, I came home to find that while my husband and children were mindlessly watching TV, one of our dogs got into the cupboard that stores the deep fryer. He got the lid off, ate all of the old oil and barfed everything up on the couch. FML

Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

Bon appétit, boys

Today, I made dinner for myself after a long day full of annoying family drama. I had the pan sizzling away when I went to grab some herbs from the fridge. As I turned around, I tripped on the rug, sending the entire frying pan of food flying into the air. It landed directly in front of my never-endingly hungry dogs, so I watched as my ruined dinner disappeared. FML

Why do you have oil in the frier sitting in the cupboard??? It should always be drained before storing away

wow if I was the husband and my wife came home to that she probably kill me for not noticing something like that.

Lol I don't think you're in the right FML.

I'm gonna go with... wrong post??

19 I'm gunna go with illiterate.

I think your dog may be some kind of cat variant.

TV really does kill brain cells.

Gross.. Time for the new couches you ways wanted!

YDI for not cleaning out the old oil from the fryer. You should always clean out the old oil, even if you might reuse it.

That's why I have no pets.

Why did you leave the oil in there? That's gross and unsanitary,

I'm sorry, but I'm not following that train of thought. How can it be unsanitary when the oil would be re-heated to 200-300celcius? Gross and disgusting yes, but all germs would die.

Time to put baby locks on your cupboards... Especially if you're going to leave something so tempting at dog level.

I like when people add insulting adjectives to other people's activities that they probably also do themselves. When the kids watch TV it's "mindless." I'm sure the OP watches TV too, but calls it something else. Like, if she'd been home when this happened it would have been "when I was relaxing in the living room, the dog got into the fryer in the kitchen."

I think OP meant mindless in that they weren't minding what was going on around them. I have a tendency to zone out, or be mindless, when I watch TV, too. Once, a former bf realized this and started calling me a "retarded kitten." I didn't notice until everyone started laughing. Still, I think a dog vomiting on the couch would snap me out of it.

For everyone commenting on how gross or unsanitary it is to keep used oil in a deep fryer, unfortunately, you are wrong. If you follow the directions, you are supposed to filter the oil, wipe the fryer with a damp cloth, then put the oil back covered and kept in a cool dark place, The only problem I have with the OP is she left it accessible to her dog. If you're going to keep something where a dog or child can get to it then you should use a child-proofing device

It's just an indication of who still lives with their parents and doesn't do their own cooking. They'll learn eventually.
