Today, after 2 weeks of hard work in the heat planting a garden, just as I thought the most stressful part was over, my wife's mother comes over and brings a huge dog. She then threw a tennis ball for the dog into my freshly seeded garden multiple times, completely destroying most of it. FML

Today, I decided to pull some weeds in my backyard. Everything was going great until I got a concussion. My dog thought that it would be fun to headbutt me from a running start. Twice. FML
Today, I had to mow the lawn with a weed-whacker because it rained a lot the past week and the push mower was broken. I started "mowing", and forgot that I was mowing where the dogs take dumps, I absentmindedly whacked over dog poop… which got flung into my face. FML
Today, I hate my wife’s dog. It destroys everything in the house, it destroys my garden, she barks constantly in her bed, and when I walk her she tries to attack every living thing she sees, but the instant I talk to my wife about her behaviour, I get yelled at for being mean. FML
Today, I had to water my entire garden. After an exhausting hour of watering hundreds of plants, I turned off the hose and started to feel good about the grueling job. That is, until it started pouring rain. FML
Today, I was woken up by my wife calling the police because our garden had been ransacked during the night. A whole row of houses has had their plants uprooted, greenhouses broken into and garden tools stolen. The cops haven't found any leads and I feel terrible for my wife, who poured her heart and soul into that garden. FML
Today, I got super psyched up about a landscaping project my wife denied last year that she's finally game for, which will both fix a water leak into the house, and make our backyard look amazing. I took a week of PTO, then 20 minutes later my wife called to tell me a tree in our back yard fell over. We're also probably getting divorced. FML
Today, three weeks after I finally tried my hand at gardening by planting a bunch of herbs and was so proud of my work, I found out that I had actually been watering weeds this whole time. My herbs were actually the things I was trying to eliminate. FML
Today, I wanted revenge on my neighbor, whose dog craps in my yard, so I spent a day at the dog park gathering up dog shit. I piled it up by the property line and ran over it with the mower, intending to spray his driveway and car with turds. Instead, it gummed up the mower. Now it stinks too bad to fix. FML
Today, I finished building a porch I've worked hard on for the past 2 weeks, and I was very proud on how amazing it turned out. Within 20 minutes of it being completed, my pregnant dog decided to crawl underneath it to have her puppies. I had to take half the porch apart to get to her and them. FML
Today, I bent down to pick up my dog’s mangled tennis ball at the park. At the exact same moment, someone’s Great Dane ran full speed into me from behind, knocking me face-first into the mud. My dog then ran off with another family. FML

You should've yelled "STOP!".

What if his mother in law was emotionally unstable at the time?

Who gives a shit? Even when I'm feeling like I hit the lowest point of my life I never take it out on those around me. That's no excuse to destroy other people's property either.

It's a joke about another FML, people trying to excuse the op for running a dog over despite her ex yelling for her to "STOP" because she was "emotionally unstable".

This is why everyone hates their mother-in-law.

did you just let her continue doing it or ask her to stop? sounds like you didn't say anything so how was she to know? on the other hand after the first time of you telling her to stop and she continued did you tell her it was time for her to go?

Throw that ball to her face, see if the dog destroys it.

And you didn't stop her, why exactly?

Make her pay for the seeds and ruined soil and help you replant. And ban that dog from your home.

I don't get how people with pets just assume that whoever thy're going to visit, is going ot be ok with them bringing their pets. There was this woman who always brought her dog with her and he always peed on the carpet. But she never believed it when we told her and assured us he wouldn't do it again. We didn't let her in anymore after a couple of times.

Did you tell her that you had just planted a garden? If you did and continued she's an asshole. If you didn't then speak up!
