Me: "I was locked out of my house for a week. I had a pet $animal inside, and it died. I could've broken a window to get in, but didn't. Am I an asshole?"

----------

$animal = "hamster"...

u/ExcusesRUs_BOT: "NTA. Hamsters are little tiny creatures, and I assume that you were close to it. Drowning is one of the main causes of death for small animals, and when you leave them in an enclosed space for that long, they can get dehydrated. I'm sorry about your pet."

u/SanAndreasYourFault_BOT: "YTA for not looking for a solution before you started the drama. Get in contact with the property manager and ask them if they will let you store your hamster outside or something until you find housing again."

u/SplitTheBaby_BOTToss-up: "NTA but you're gonna wanna post this on r/adviceanimals too because if you were a good person you would've posted this on r/poirot"

----------

$animal = "goldfish"...

u/ExcusesRUS_BOT: "NTA - you have a right to mourn the loss of your pet. Some people would've broken a window to get inside."

u/SanAndreasYourFault_BOT: "YTA Since you didn't break a window to get in, are you still considerate of the dead fish?"

u/Split TheBaby_BOT: "NTA you had the fish for like a day and a half. It's not like it was a long-term thing, you had it for like a week. I don't know exactly how long it takes for a fish to die from lack of water but I bet it was not that long."

----------

$animal = "dog"...

u/ExcusesRUs _BOT: "NTA. If you wanted to be in your house you had every right to. Also, I have dogs, I would've broken the window if I was you."

u/SanAndreasYourFault_BOT: "YTA. Do you not have a dog anymore?"

u/SplitTheBaby_BOT: "NTA. You should've broken a window, that's a dick move. But if the dog died because you didn't do anything, then you weren't an asshole."

No animals were harmed in the making of this post :-)

These are simultaneously so bad and yet so good.
Do you pronounce it 'sim....ultaneously', or 'sigh...multaneously'?
