Today, while mowing my backyard, I carelessly ran over a fire ant hill. Thousands of tiny stinging insects blowing towards you while you're wearing shorts and a t-shirt is definitely not fun. FML

Today, I was on a nature hike and had to use the bushes as a restroom. In doing so I stepped on an ant hill and ended up with my shorts around my ankles, dancing the Twist to fend off the ants. FML

Today, I was mowing my grandma's lawn when I was suddenly swarmed by bees. When my grandma saw me covered in stings later on, she said, "Oh yeah, there are tons of bees in the grass! Be careful!" FML

Today, while mowing the lawn, I was attacked by an underground hornet nest. I now have many stings, two scared dogs, and a mower still running outside. The hornets are swarming it and some are sitting on the lever, as if to turn it off. It's like they know. FML

Creepy crawlies

Today, I was working, ripping siding off a house. I pulled off a sheet that was over my head. I got rained with what I thought was wood chips that were behind the siding. Turns out they were dead grasshoppers. Guess what I found in my bra after work. FML

Today, I saw a wasp on the ground, apparently injured and unable to fly. It was being mobbed by ants and looked certain to die, so I stamped on the ants to save its life. At this point it sprung up, stung me, then flew off. FML

What do I get?

Today, I helped my parents out by tearing down the old, rusty swing set that's been in our backyard for years. Little did I know that there was a beehive hidden in the long grass, and I now have dozens of painful red bumps all over me. FML

Today, I went on a date at the park. Have you ever felt dozens of ants swarming up your legs and back? I have now. FML

Our insect overlords

Today, something flew up the back of my shorts while I was at work. I now have itchy hot welts the size of my palm coating the back and inside of both my upper thighs. FML

Today, I decided to sunbathe in my backyard in an attempt to be healthy. The result? Insect bites over my body. Somehow, despite being fully clothed the entire time, my scrotum also received several bites. FML

Hopefully they avoid your intimate bits and you don't do a strip tease in front of young children.

I've always just run them over, never had a problem. You kind of just run it over and then walk around the thousands of ants pouring out

That's pretty cruel IMO.... Or am I the only one who tries to not even step on insects on purpose...? Except spiders and centipedes. They are monsters from my nightmare.

@27 do you even know what red ants are? they're like black ones, but have killer bites. I don't think you'd be saying that still if you were covered in little biting insects

You've obviously never had an allergic reaction to those little bastards...

I'm actually allergic to fire ants, you just walk around the mound after you run it over.

Honestly you should be happy most people end up hitting yellow jacket hives.

One does not simply mow over an ant hill, though....

We had these giant ant mounds in Southeastern Indiana. You would have to exert some serious effort to mow over one of those bastards. Though, I did clip one or two smaller mounds with the front wheel of a riding mower in my youth.
