lollymay13 tells us more.
Just so you all know, I am not afraid of my pet snake. The FML was a mixture of a) the snake had been in an obvious hiding place, a dark enclosed space, all along. And b) because anything that falls on your bloody head outside is going to give you a fright! He is healthy and happy, he didn't die, and has not escaped since! :) And as for all the St.Patrick comments.... 'driving the snakes out of Ireland' was a metaphor for the Catholics driving all of the Pagans out of Ireland. Of course there are real snakes here.... actually pagans too. Well there ya go! lol :) x

Under my Umbrella-ella-ella eh eh eh...
yes, I find your comment rather shallow and pedantic.
IM TIRED OF THESE MOTHERFUCKING SNAKES IN THESE MOTHERFUCKING UMBRELLAS!!
Lmfao this is pure win
Agreed!! With 74
i would be scared of anything that falls on my head:)
It's raining snakes, hallelujah it's raining snakes...
#74 nowhere does it say the OP was scared of her snake, but having anything drop on you unexpectedly gives fright.. besides, the FML could be that after she spent a week looking, it was in her umbrella all along.
How is it an "fml" if you found your sake
Haha 82 :)
At least it wasn't in your boot?
Surprise headhumper! (Someone please get the reference)
42- that was the joke xP.
Haha, that sucks. How'd it get in a CLOSED umbrella?
How did it get outside?!
Your snake was just so happy you found him, it decided to surprise you!
"Driven out", #5? Our climate couldn't have supported snakes in the first place... only reason people can have them as pets is sun lamps and the like.
Not all snakes are tropical.
St Patrick, patron saint of Ireland, is recorded in Legend as having driven all the snakes from Ireland. Probably about as accurate as St George slaying the dragon and rescuing the maiden, but its a good story. Also, snakes can survive in Britain - we're at the same latitude so we should have similar (not identical) climates. Temperate, warm in summer, freezing in winter and all-year-round precipitation. :P
Cheers 28, didn't know that. :o 29: Yeah I get its a legend and all that. 32: Oh, I wasn't cuffing him. I just can't read sarcasm. :P
5, of course they haven't all been driven out of Ireland. It'd be damn hard to get the car through all that water.
It could've been worse...you could have found it with your ass on the toilet
True
I don't see how this is an fml. You found your lost pet, that's a good thing!
Was it dead? If not, then why is it an fml? You found it...
Surprise!
Happy birthday, you're adopted!
