Today, I moved into my new apartment. I was feeling really excited until my new neighbor knocked on my door and left me what looks like rabbit ears on my welcome mat. He just stared at me expectantly as though I should be thankful. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I moved into my new house. I went over to my neighbors' house to introduce myself. As they opened the door I saw a telescope pointed at my house. FML
Today, I moved into my new apartment complex. I left some items including a cherished painting my best friend made for me outside the front door while I moved furniture into my bedroom. When I went back outside, someone had kicked a huge hole in the painting. Welcome to the neighborhood. FML
Today, I moved into my new apartment. My neighbor is apparently crazy and thinks I'm trying to 'steal' her husband. She watches me and is super paranoid. I have a two year lease. FML
Today, after months of enduring my neighbor's relentlessly yapping schnauzer, Molly, I moved into a new building. I was greeted by my new neighbor and her yapping rat terrier, Molly. FML
Today, some new people moved into the house next door to mine. The previous occupants were very loud and obnoxious day in and day out, so I was looking forward to some sanity. When I went outside, I noticed they'd parked their cars on my lawn. FML
Today, I heard noises outside my front door. I looked out through the window, only to see my boyfriend encouraging his dog to take a dump on my welcome mat. FML
Today, I received an envelope with my name written in beautiful writing in my mailbox. I just moved in the day before and hadn't given the address to anyone or met my neighbors yet so I was a bit surprised by it, even more surprised to find nothing but a dick pic inside. FML
Today, I got home and noticed people were looking at my next-door neighbor's house that's for rent. Peering closer, I realized my ex-boyfriend and the girl he cheated on me with a few months ago were inside. After they left, the "For Rent" sign came down. I've got new neighbors. FML
Today, I left my apartment window open for some fresh air. When I returned, my idiot cat was on the balcony staring at me... from my neighbor’s apartment. FML
Today, as I sat on the toilet, I heard a noise outside. I peered through the window and found myself staring directly at my neighbor. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Tomorrow he'll throw eggs at you to complete the welcome experience

You're going to have the BEST time living near him! I predict more FML's in the future.

That's horrible. Please call the police- if you mean real rabbit ears, then he needs to be arrested. Don't open your door to him again, or he might try to go for your ears next. Seriously, that's insane behavior.
greenie213 23
Yep. Because its a horrible, punishable offense to go rabbit hunting.
CustardAndPie 13
#32, Horrible? Yes. Punishable? Sadly not. And while I agree that involving the police is a little far, I do think that just leaving the ears is kind of worrying. Unless OP's new neighbour is a cat, I'd expect a whole rabbit and a stew recipe, or no rabbit at all. Maybe a foot, if the neighbour is superstitious. Rabbit hunting is kind of horrible, though, tbh.

18 - I deer hunt... So... Are you gonna call the cops on me?

64- So you hate Elmer Fudd?

64, Hunting for your meat is actually more humane than buying it from a grocery store, unless you can afford free range meat, because the animals you hunt live full and free lives until you shoot them, which usually kills them instantly with little to no pain. Slaughter animals are raised in tiny filthy spaces, often abused, and are killed inhumanely. Now if you're referring to killing a rabbit simply for its feet or ears, then yes, I'd have to agree that is indeed horribly, and giving your neighbor severed rabbit ears is indeed very strange and disturbing.

32 How do we know if this is a wild rabbit or a domesticated rabbit? It could be some little girl's pet or something. It is illegal to torture animals, so unless OP elaborates we can't tell if it is illegal or not. I'm not bashing hunters, they are the backbone of economic health, but people who intentionally abuse animals are scumbags that don't deserve the air they breathe.

DUCK season!

65- no but let's just say that if deer one day decide to go human hunting you'll be on their list...
SApprentice 34
-65, 32 Wow, okay, I'm glad to know that all of you are amazingly good at taking things out of context. My family hunts, and I've helped to skin and butcher the meat. I have no problem with hunting. The OP never said anything that makes me think this was a 'hunting' incident. If the OP has close neighbors, more likely than not this is from a city, and you can't hunt in a city. Even if this was a hunting situation, being a hunter is no excuse to be a sociopath. It's not excusable for any hunter to pop up at his new neighbors with body parts from an animal, in order to introduce himself. I never said a word against hunters. For me, this FML sounds like it was from a city, and I was thinking it was a PET rabbit, and yes, it is still against the law to slice the ears off a pet rabbit.

True

125- talk about a double standard.
ForeverAloneGal 23
He's showing he's a man who can hunt and provide for you. Be thankful!

So I suppose I'm the only one who saw "rabbit ears" and thought of a TV antenna? Yes kids, TVs used to have antennae.
bunny911 16
Nope, that's where my mind went too.
ForeverAloneGal 23
Well, damn.
RedPillSucks 33
Yep. It mean's OPs older than dirt. Or as old as DocBastard, anyway
ilovesarcasm 18
I'm hoping people here are assuming actual, bloodied, hacked-off rabbit ears solely for the comedic effect. That and the fact I won't feel so old at 33. I aim high sometimes, I know.
SenselessPattern 12
What's this 'antenna' you're talking about? Is it a type of smart phone?
ElricMustang 23
I first thought of actual ears, but the possibility of the TV antenna did come to mind. Maybe he's old-fashioned
nancyschmancy 9
First thing I thought, makes us really old, eh Doc?
devydev92 5
Well he tried..just say thank you..?
kewpiesuicide 29
I once read that leaving rabbit parts on someones doorstep was a death threat from a witch 0.0
RentaName 15
At least he didn't bake it into a pie.
Namenlos_fml 20
Don't be mean. Say thank you. Maybe he's got some sort of mental handicap.
Zaros_fml 24
I can't think of a single mental handicap that would justify leaving rabbit parts at somebody's door.
