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

What a cozy moment

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, around 2:00 a.m. I had just sat down on my couch when I noticed one of my cats poking at what appeared to be a toy. I attempted to pick it up to play with the cat when it started to move like a mouse. I squealed like a girl and woke up my wife upstairs. I'm a 26-year-old man. FML

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

Sobering

Today, I made my way to bed around 4am after spending all night hanging out with my family. When I got to my bed, I started to clear a spot to lay down. Almost immediately, my hand touched something furry and cold and, fearing the worst, I turned the light on. Turns out my cat left me a half eaten rodent. FML

Today, I was awoken at 1:30 a.m. by a strange noise, and something tugging on my hair. I opened my eyes, to find a very large rat sitting on my pillow, chewing my hair. FML

Today, at around 12 a.m. I went to bed, happy that I get to sleep in because I had nowhere be in the morning. Sadly that came to an end when I woke up around 7 a.m. to my mom coming home and screaming because she saw a mouse. FML

Today, at the age of 20, I still have a bed time. It is strictly enforced by my cat via endless meows if I am up past 11 pm. FML

Today, I was playing a video game that required me to hunt a few animals. My mom walked in, saw what I was doing, then went into her psycho vegan mode and started yelling at me. She basically grounded me for "murdering" pixels on a screen. FML

Today, I realized that the only one willing to hang out with me this summer is my guinea pig. FML

They aren't classified as a rodent. They r in their own species group until connection can be made with another animal

Actually, they're cavies. Order Rodentia. Technically rodents. There are at least 5 other species in the Cavia genus, so C. porcellus (guinea pigs) aren't alone. Sure, they're their own species, but so are their close cousins, capybara and wild cavies. Rodent is the order and it includes hamsters, gerbils and, yes, rats. Each of those have their own species as well. Just goes to show you - when your roommate's guinea pig dies and you end up with all her care books to cut pictures from, you learn a little something, too.

If you girls would just TRY and play a game, you'll learn they're really fun, especially when playing with a friend/boyfriend. Don't just assume all gamers are geeks because they enjoy doing what's fun to them.

OP - My guinea pig just wanted the lights off... He continued to eat for another hour, chuckling to himself as he did.

That sounds like one selfish pig.

Solution: Get a luminescent keyboard so you can play in the dark and get decent headphones for the sound.. Maybe then, when Mr Guinea Pig sees only darkness (except maybe a faint glow) and hears only silence he will think you've gone to bed and shut the hell up...
