Insects, Pranks and Health: Lost the fight

Lost the fight

By Anonymous - 24/12/2014 14:43 - United States - Herndon

Today, I found a hornet's nest in the backyard, so I called my brother over to take a look. He said "Hmm, wonder how fast you can run…" then hurled a rock at the nest and sprinted back to the house. I wasn't so fast. I now feel like someone's beaten me half to death with a cactus. FML

Today, while mowing the lawn, I ran over a hornet's nest. FML

Today, I tested out my new paintball gun by firing a few rounds into some thick bushes. Nothing could've prepared me for the angry swarm of hornets whose nest I'd apparently shot. I'm in so much pain. 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

Today, a kid threw a rock at a beehive while my friend and I where standing next to it. It fell down, and a swarm of slightly displeased bees assumed that we were the culprit. Knowing what was about to happen, my friend and I ran for our lives. He ran fast enough to escape; I didn't. The kid, the actual culprit, didn't get attacked. FML

Today, I was stung by a wasp. Startled, I stumbled and grabbed a nearby tree branch to regain my balance. The branch happened to be the location of the wasp's nest, which fell to the ground and split open. The wasps weren't happy. FML

Idiots

Today, my husband took our son into the woods with a big stick and two tennis rackets because they'd found a hornets nest. Yes, they used the stick to poke the nest and the tennis rackets to whack the hornets, like they thought it was a game. They got swarmed and are now in hospital. Idiots. FML

Today, I had to chase off the Eastern Brown snake that's been hanging around. When it doubled back, I fell over trying to move out of its way and landed in a bush that contained 3 separate wasp nests. My body feels like it is on fire and the snake is now in my chook shed, refusing to leave. FML

Wasps, what the **** do they want?

Today, a wasp somehow got into my parents' house, so I went hunting for it with my dad. I found it and, after getting into position, took a strong swing at it with a fly swatter. Unfortunately, being very uncoordinated, I missed. You can figure out the rest. FML

Today, I went to clean my roof when something buzzed by my head and a sting hit my neck. It turns out there's a small nest of, like, five hornets just chilling outside of my window. I found a dead one on the desk in my bedroom. FML

Today, in a desperate bid to avoid going to the doctor, my young son ran into and hid inside a cactus garden. I had to drag him out. FML

Easy solution: Buy a cactus and beat him with it.

Your brother is not a very nice person. Glad you aren't allergic and didn't die!

Kind of reminds me of 'Animal Crossing' for the DS when you shake trees looking for money/presents, but a bees nest falls out and 9 times out of 10 they'd sting you, regardless if you run or not! But OP, it could have been a lot more serious for you with the hornets! If you had a smaller body mass you or got more stings, you could have easily been killed! Hope your Christmas isn't too ruined and that your bro gets a kick up the ass for disturbing the nest in the first place.

Well that's gotta hurt. He should've told you to run before him, so you wouldn't get stung.

If your brother is older than 7 or 8, he should be very seriously punished. You could have been killed.

Rule #1: if it can hurt you, do NOT, under any circumstances, point it out to a sibling.

When I was little, I had a swing set in the backyard that bees absolutely loved. They built about 30 nests inside, and there were so many that we couldn't get rid of it until winter when they all died. My demonic cousin took me up there on the hill when I was 4 years old and kicked it before running away. She told my parents that I did it. I couldn't even open my eyes, as they stung mostly my face.
