Today, I was trying to clean the belt of my register at work at a grocery store. I noticed two strips of rubber stuck in the corner of the belt, and after pulling on them periodically all morning one finally came loose. It was a foot. I had been pulling at a dead rat trapped in the belt. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, at work, I found a used condom in the fax machine. I'm the electrical maintenance repair for the company. I have to untangle it from the belts. FML
Today, I found out how it feels to get your nut-sack caught in a belt buckle. FML
Today, while running an event, my belt loop got caught in those metal whorls that outdoor chairs have. I couldn't get it undone and had to greet guests by standing up and bringing the chair with me, hanging from my ass. My coworker finally had to cut the belt loop to set me free. FML
Today, I got my hand caught in a belt sander while sanding down what was supposed to become a "Caution" sign. FML
Today, my water wouldn't go down my shower drain. Confused, I stuck a metal stick expecting hair, but instead stabbed and pulled up a rat that was dead in my drain. FML
Today, I noticed my shower drain wasn't draining well. I cleaned it out, thinking it was just a rat's nest of hair. Wrong. It was an actual dead rat. FML
Today, I finally found out what the horrible smell at work was. A rat had decided to make its home in our emergency exit sign and had been fried by the electricity. I now have to fix this. Hello scorched dead rat. FML
Today, I went through a self-checkout at a grocery store. The machine kept repeating, “Please remove the unexpected item in the bagging area.” After five attempts, an employee came over and discovered the “unexpected item” was my own elbow resting on the counter. FML
Today, after three weeks of holding out, my stingy boss finally called animal control about the birds in the air vent above the register. While I was working, they rummaged through the vents, causing live maggots to fall down right in front of me. FML
Today, I dropped my remote behind the bed and went to reach for it. Instead of the remote, I grabbed hold of a rat carcass that must have got in when builders were working in my bathroom several weeks ago. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I do not believe how everyone here can comment about this and not only say this reeks of bs. How many people have seen how big a rat is? Not a small mouse but a rat which when living in the wild small ones are generally close to a foot, longer overall with tail.I don't see that rat getting caught in the belt and simply being stuck in a corner. These posts are just ridiculous to try and get put up. Come on.

Um, no. A small one would be about half that. A huge one would be more like a foot long, nose to rump. Unless you're thinking of a Gambian Giant Pouched Rat, of course, then a small one would be about a foot. :P But yeah, no way would a rat get caught there. If this is real, she, like most people, doesn't know the difference between rats and mice and just said rat to make it seem nastier.

It's a rat. Get over it. Some people eat rats for breakfast.

Just because that's true (and you have no idea how much I've wanted to try rat), it doesn't mean it's not nasty to find a rat (though it's more likely that it was a mouse) stuck dead to a register belt.

Can you tell me what grocery store you work at so I remember to not go there?

I hope you washed your hands before bagging any groceries.

Holy crap, how'd something as big as a rat get stuck there? You sure it wasn't a mouse?
