Today, I bit into a piece of homegrown lettuce from my garden. Apparently, I'm not the only one to enjoy my produce, because I took a bite out of a small caterpillar. FML

Today, I was eating at my aunt's place with all my cousins and the salad had little green and alive bugs. I didn't want to cause attention, so I tried to pick some off and just kept eating. FML
Today, I found out that my kids played around with a bunch of caterpillars they'd found in the yard, then informed me they'd eaten a few. I then had to scramble to Google "Is this kind of caterpillar poisonous?" FML
Today, I was drinking from a cup with a built-in straw. After taking a long sip, I noticed a weird taste. Upon investigation, I found a small caterpillar wedged inside the straw. FML
Today, instead of reaching for some unhealthy food, I tried to eat some dates instead. It was all fine until I bit one in half and saw a rather large, squirming maggot inside. FML
Today, after being a germaphobe for almost ten years and refusing to go out to restaurants because of it, I finally had the courage to face my fear, and went to dinner with my family. After three bites into my salad, I found a dead bug in it. FML
Today, while stocking the green beans at work, I picked up a "leaf" which turned out to be a grasshopper. I screamed so loud, my coworkers now think I'm crazy. This is only my second week here. FML
Today, I noticed a small bite on my arm. I couldn't figure out what it came from until I saw a small insect crawling out of my bra. FML
Today, my boyfriend and I were having dinner with my family. He killed a bug and ate it. FML
Today, I bit into a cereal bar and thought the inside was oddly damp. I took a look at it and saw a maggot worm wriggling around. Its friend was in my mouth. FML
Today, I bought a 3 lb bag of pears. The first two bites were delicious! The third bite revealed a worm and its thousands of eggs. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

O.o? Are you blind, or something, OP? I'm not intending this as an insult, but a legitimate question, I mean, how can you miss a caterpillar on anything?

Today, I was sitting on a piece of lettuce minding my own business when......

I tried to grow a garden the last two summers. Its alot of work to keep the damn vermin away from eating it all. From bugs to animals. I had a rabbit I assume get under the fence and take a bite out of every strawberry and cherry tomato, leaving the rest of the half eaten fruit on the vine. Birds, caterpillars, and everything flock to my yard. So the garden is covered in a fortress of nets, and a 7ft fence now.

Well atleast you've learnt your lesson about washing produce before you eat it. Next time separate the leaves you'll be eating from the head and wash thoroughly before eating or using in a salad.
