Today, after applying for a job at the local pet store, I picked up a ferret. It began licking my cheek, causing me to turn my head. It then latched onto my ear and hung like a giant furry hoop earring. I screamed, then quietly left the building. FML

Today, my brother got a pet ferret. He told me it had a flexible spine, so I bent it backwards. It farted, and clawed my face. FML

Today, I was on a job trial at the local pet shop and, naturally, was doing all the disgusting jobs. As I was cleaning the kittens' litter in the cat enclosure, someone thought it would be funny to lock me in there. I sat in a giant cage in the middle of the store with people laughing at me. FML

Today, at work, a lady came in to have her glasses fixed. When she opened her case, an earwig crawled out. Instead of trying to kill it, she just left it and watched as it crawled over my desk and behind my computer. I later found the earwig in my hair. FML

Today, I was at a pet store cuddling an apparently overaggressive chinchilla when it decided to bite me and run out of my hands. It is now nowhere to be found and I have to pay for it. FML

Today, I picked my dog up and nibbled her ear. On the tip of her ear was a large tick, which burst, sending blood into my mouth. FML

Today, I got my tongue pierced, then went to a pet store. A clerk came up to ask if I needed help. I showed him I already had some fish, and said, "No thanks." He must have thought I was "special," as he bent down and in a baby voice, said "You got fishy? FISHY FISHY FISHY!" while poking the bag. FML

Today, while at work for a dog groomer, I picked up a new puppy that came in for a groom. I held it up at face level with me, baby talking it, when it promptly began peeing. Luckily, it didn't get on my clothes. Unluckily, it got onto my face and into my mouth. FML

Today, I rushed to a job interview, but my cat rubbed against me, covering my suit in fur. I grabbed a lint roller, tripped over the cat, and knocked out a front tooth. I showed up sweaty, disheveled, and missing a tooth. I didn’t get the job. FML

Today, I had a job interview. Everything was going well until I noticed a picture of a dog hanging on the wall, which reminded me of the ending of Marley and Me. I started crying and had to be escorted out. FML

Never never let birds or rodents you don't trust passed chest level. That does happen. I'm sorry you weren't warned OP :(

So when do you start? Word of advice, stay away from the pit bulls!

But pittbulls are the biggest babies ever in the pet shop I work in. Wants a cookie and slobber all over you.

Pitbulls are big babies. They want to cuddle and lick you.

Well if you would've known better, ferrets always lick something before biting it

Lol xD That's awesome....I want a ferret but one thing that's almost always brought up is that they smell bad. Is this true??

Yes. They have a strong musky odor. Even after baths they smell.

The less you bathe, them the less they stink. The better the quality of food, the less they stink. Keep the litter box and bedding clean and the smell is minimal. They do have a musky smell but it's not very strong. I had a few sets of towels of blankets for them to sleep on and I washed them once a week. As long as I washed the bedding weekly, the ferrets didn't stink.

I remember when I reached down to pet a ferret in the pet store, one ran up my jacket sleeve and another ran up on the outside of my coat and into my hair behind my neck.
