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

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

This is just wrong. I feel so sorry for the poor bat. That was just so inhumane, and cruel. I'm really upset by this. Op please tell us you called the cops on this person.

Holy crap that's terrible! She cooked that thing alive.. Throw her ass in the oven and set it to 400 degrees. What a terrible person!!

she should have cooked it at 350. 400 will dry out the meat.

Why would you kill it?? They're adorable! I've had bats land on my head or on my arm. They just have the shock factor, I haven't seen a bat in the US yet that's super hostile.

I absolutely love bats! This fml angers me so much. I helped band a bat for a a DNR worker once.

Though she probably shouldnt have killed the bat, at least she was able to keep her wits enough to "diffuse" the situation....I probably would have called the cops or locked myself inside of something until OP came home

Slaughtering an animal by burning it to death is not "keeping your wits about you" in the slightest.
