Today, my mum asked me how the guinea pig was doing. We don't have a guinea pig. Turns out she had volunteered me to look after the next door neighbor's guinea pig when they were away and 'forgot' to tell me. They have been gone two weeks. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my daughter's guinea pig got stuck behind the wardrobe, squeaking its head off. I tried pulling the wardrobe towards me to free him, but couldn't take the weight of it all, so it fell over, smashing the TV. The guinea pig is fine. FML
Today, my potbellied pig ate my neighbor's award-winning flower garden, that she has been growing for almost three years. She'd told me that she was bringing the judges of the competition, in which she was in line to win $300, to her house in two days. I have yet to tell her. FML
Today, I found out that my beloved guinea pig has impaction. For the rest of his life it will be my duty to clean out his rectum manually every month, or every week/day if it gets worse. FML
Today, I went to check if my neighbours were home to return their dog, having looked after her for a few days. I looked in the window and the place was empty. They'd moved house and stuck us with their dog. FML
Today, I agreed to buy my girlfriend a piggle for Christmas. The pig is miniature. The noise it makes is not. Oh, and I just found out it's not living with her, but with me. FML
Today, I realized that the only one willing to hang out with me this summer is my guinea pig. FML
Today, I learnt that my guinea pig can shoot poop across the room like a tiny brown torpedo. How did I find this out? It landed in my coffee. It wasn't until after I'd finished my coffee that I noticed it. FML
Today, I woke up to a squeaking noise and the feeling of something furry on my cheek. I smiled, thinking it was my guinea pigs nosing me awake. Then I remembered that my guinea pigs were in their cage on the other side of the room, and opened my eyes to see the biggest rat ever staring right at me. FML
Today, I got back home and my hamster was dead. I left notes two weeks ago everywhere to remind my parents to feed it while I was overseas. Apparently, my parents even didn't realize I was gone. FML
Today, I was playing video games at 2am. My guinea pig started squealing at me, and wouldn't stop until I turned out the lights and got into bed. I'm 20 years old, and I've let a rodent dictate my bedtime. FML

I hope you went to check on it straight away. There's a chance that it could still be alive. If it is, give it water and food and take it to a vet straight away.

Just buy a new one and do the classic switch-a-roo. Be sure to find that old one though! Color and size does matter!

I think they have nothing on you that's more like their fault...

Poor thing

There's a very good chance he/she could still be alive. The neighbors probably left Fluffy well stocked with food and water.

After two weeks I don't think it's a very good chance at all, no matter how well stocked it was.

Your mom is an idiot, and this is her fault. First of all, she shouldn't have volunteered you; she should have told them she'll check with you. Second, she should have told you that you've been asked to care for the neighbor's guinea pig. SHE needs to apologize to the neighbors for not having told you about checking their pet.

Guessing the guinea pig is dead... You should buy a car under moms name and forget to tell her.

I don't think the cost/comparison is a good fit here. Plus, it's not even OPs fault, so why set himself up to get into trouble for nothing? Not saying a pet is not expensive, but it's just not the same thing.
