Today, I saw a spider in my bathtub, so instead of killing it, i decided to bring my dog inside the bathroom to kill the spider for me. Turns out that the spider was a black widow, and my dog was bit. The dog killed the spider. The spider killed my dog. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I learned that my big, tough, strong dog is terrified of spiders when he jumped, knocked over a table, and then peed on the spider to drown it. FML
Today, I tried to have a relaxing soak in the tub. The giant wolf spider that was already in the tub didn't like me trying to set it free outside. It ran right across my feet and back into my house when I dumped it out of a cup outside. I screamed like a little girl. FML
Today, I saw a huge wolf spider in my room. It ran off and hid before I could kill it, but after two hours looking for it then giving up, I finally found it, with my foot, as I put on my shoes. FML
Today, I saw a spider crawling on the floor but had nothing to kill it with and it hid somewhere. So, I got dressed and went out and come home for a shower, and as I'm taking off my undies, something crushed and black fell out. It was the spider and he had been in my underwear the entire day. FML
Today, we found a tarantula type spider in our shed so big it could only have been someone’s escaped pet. This thing was so big, even my husband said, "NOPE!" In the end, we used our neighbour's crossbow to kill, it because I think it grew that big by eating dogs and small horses. FML
Today, I found a big spider on my wall. I have arachnophobia, and I was trying to kill it with my shoe. I pulled back and hit myself in the face, causing me to fall backwards. The spider is still alive somewhere in my house. FML
Today, I found the same spider which I had let live yesterday hidden in my bath towel. I didn't find it until it was smeared on my face. FML
Today, I asked my husband to deal with the very large spider in our kitchen. Rather than a newspaper or a slipper, he went after it with an aerosol can and a lighter. The spider is now dead, but so are the wall and cupboards in my kitchen. FML
Today, I saw a big, black spider on the floor of my bathroom. I promptly jumped up on the toilet seat, slipped off, and slammed my head against the wall. The best part? It was a tuft of my hair. FML
Today, I spotted a huge spider in my bedroom. I freaked out at first, but I managed to confront my arachnophobia and killed it with a book. I was ecstatic and went to tell my boyfriend. By the time I returned to my room, the "dead" spider had vanished. Now I'm too scared to sleep. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I have to agree that the OP is either stupid for making this up or stupid for getting his/her dog killed. Afraid to kill a spider, sending a dog to kill the spider, not taking the dog to the vet? Real smooth.

#205, that's ridiculous and you make them seem even dumber. I've owned a dog and I actually killed spiders and removed webs from the parts of the backyard she would lie around. Maybe a bit overprotective but I did come across the occasional black widow. "Eww, a spider. Lucky will squish him up for me. 'Get 'im Lucky! Yay!'" *THUMP*

Right on #159. What the hell were you thinking? Why would you have your dog kill the friggen spider? Roll up a magazine, go grab some RAID. I feel bad for your dead dog.

I didn't read all of these (mostly rage-filled) comments, but I just want to point out that not all black widows are easy to recognize. Only females have the red hourglass, and even then the mark is on the underside of its abdomen, not on top. Females are large, while males are considerably smaller. Therefore, if it was a male or young female and thus rather small, that alone makes it hard to recognize. Most spiders in suburbia are black or brown to blend in with the environment (the vibrantly colored critters live in more exotic areas, usually), so a black widow to an inexperienced individual could have looked like any other harmless spider. One other spider to look out for, btw, is the brown recluse. They live in dark little hiding spots--shoes, for example. They're very poisonous, please don't feed those to your pets either. Another thing. This isn't a proven rule or anything, but I've noticed that if a spider is round, smallish, and puffy, it's probably harmless. If the spider's body is elongated and its first and last pair of legs are longer than the middle two pairs, it might be poisonous.
