Love: Today, my girlfriend dumped me and left me with the responsibility...

Today, my girlfriend dumped me and left me with the responsibility of the turtle that I never wanted but she insisted we buy "together." A little bit of research has revealed that Andre will live for "at least 30 years." FML

Today, I bought a turtle after wanting one for years. I was told that he was scared, so he would be put in a box for me to take home. It wasn't until I got to my car that I noticed that they sold me a dead turtle. I'm not getting a refund because they claimed I killed it in less than 5 minutes. FML

Today, I just came back from the vet. I spent a lot of money on a pet tortoise at the local pet store and it didn't come out of its shell when I bought it. The owner just said it sleeps in the day and it'll be shy for a week or so. Turns out it was dead. FML

Today, my boyfriend and I broke up. He now argues that he should keep the dog. We only dated for three months, and I've had the dog since I was ten. FML

Today, my girlfriend of 3 months broke up with me via text and said she was keeping the cat. I've had the cat since for seven years since she was a kitten. FML

Today, I had to convince my 20-year-old boyfriend that not only is his aquatic turtle a reptile, but that it's also cold-blooded and thus can't regulate its own temperature just by going into its shell. He still thinks I'm the stupid one. FML

Today, I came home to find my girlfriend crying. Concerned, I quickly asked her what was wrong. She told me tearfully that she couldn't understand why her pet lizards hadn’t grown into dinosaurs yet, and that pet store had cheated her. I’m still concerned now, but for entirely different reasons. FML

Put an ad to sell it/give it away on Craigslist or something and quit whining.

43 posts and not a single "I like turtles"? I'm disappointed. But in all seriousness, turtles are awesome.

Expose it to toxic waste. Make sure you have pizza nearby. Don't worry a giant rat will come along to relieve you of your burden shortly afterwards.

#47, I think you need to gain an understanding of what happens when an animal's owners have no knowledge of its needs and don't want to take responsibility for it. Seriously, go volunteer at a local centre for a few weeks. See the animals that come in for stupid reasons, see them sit around for weeks and months in a place that simply doesn't have the resources to do anything more than meet their most basic needs, see the abuse and neglect cases, see the people that dedicate their whole ******* lives on low or no pay to cleaning up these messes. Then come back and tell me I need to calm down.
