Today, I walked into my apartment and smelled something extremely repugnant. I asked my roommate what had happened and she said, "I didn't know how else to kill it!" She'd trapped a bat that was in our apartment, put it in the oven, and set it to 400 degrees. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, there was a horrible smell in my kitchen. I tried to find the source, but failed and had to leave for the day. That night, my brother informed me that the smell was coming from a dead mouse stuck in our toaster. FML
Today, I saw a bat in a cabinet. I slammed the cabinet as hard as I could, which knocked the bat off the door and got its head stuck between the two doors, decapitating it. Its two beady eyes were judging me. I haven't even had my coffee yet. FML
Today, I found out that I have mice because my landlady got rid of the community cats that were keeping them outside, and apparently my cats aren't taking care of them. I found out when I turned on my oven and my apartment was filled with an awful smell that turned out to be burning mouse crap. FML
Today, I baked a cake. After feeding it to my entire family, I opened the stove, planning to temporarily store the cake inside. I then noticed a mouse, burnt to a crisp. FML
Today, I finally found out what that weird smell in my apartment was. My ex-boyfriend had been breaking into my apartment and hiding rotting fruit all over the place. I found this out when a ceiling panel fell and a swarm of fruit flies attacked me. FML
Today, I was laying in bed when my sister came running in, scared. I took my bat and went into the kitchen where the suspicious noise was coming from. It was a rat, right in the middle of the floor. I jumped on the counter and shrieked, just as my girlfriend walked in, who then actually dealt with it. FML
Today, I walked into my apartment after work, only be to greeted by an awful smell. I searched every inch of the place, convinced something had died. After an hour of searching around, I found the source: a single forgotten boiled egg in one of my backpack's pockets. I will never forget the smell of sulphur or whatever it was. FML
Today, I found out that the horrific smell coming from somewhere in my kitchen was a rotting dead mouse that somehow got stuck in my dishwasher. I have been eating off plates washed in dead mouse water for the past week. FML
Today, while attempting a DIY pest removal, one of our tenants lit a skunk on fire. FML
Today, I came home to the vilest stench I've ever smelled. I had to open a floor vent and scoop up the turd that was inside. Funnily enough, today was the day my scumbag roommate moved out, but I'm sure he had absolutely nothing to do with it. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Why would it even be necessary to kill it?

Why not just capture it and release it outside?? It would be less messy and more humane..

I'd prefer not to come across these FMLs. I want to laugh not feel extremely sad.

Poor bat. What she did was cruel and inhumane

Reminds me of poor Tiger Lily the kitten who had the same fate a few years ago. :'( I will never understand animal abuse, out of malice or irrational fear. The bat didn't deserve such a sick and cruel death.

You called animal control or someone to have them charged, right?

Poor bat. Stupid roomie deserves a similar fate whenever her time comes to meet her maker.

I hope law enforcement gets involved. What she did was terrible and cruel. This time it was a bat, next time...? I'd be freaked to live with someone so stupid and heartless. Keep her away from other living things, especially animals and small kids.

She cooked it alive?! That's horrible!

That poor little creature! That's seriously abhorrent behaviour. Why did it have to be killed in the first place? And if it really must, there HAS to be a kinder way to do it. Stick your roommate in the goddamn oven, see how much she likes it.

One can only imagine the screeching that poor creature must have been producing. How awful for a person to do that! That's going way too far. Your roommate needs to seriously rethink her ideas of pest removal. Next she'll be lighting a blowtorch at a spider...
