Today, I wanted revenge on the rabbit who ate my garden's plants. When he returned, he was standing next to my brand new above-ground swimming pool. I pull out my 22. rifle and shot at it, but the bullet missed and popped a hole in my pool. 15,000 gallons of water flooded my basement. FML

Today, I heard a gunshot not too far from the house. This is not unusual, as I live way out in the boonies and hunters tend to roam the woods. What isn't normal is a stray bullet hitting my above-ground pool, which promptly split open and released a torrent of water that flooded my basement. FML
Today, while mowing my backyard, I messily discovered that a family of rabbits has been living out there in the tall grass. FML
Today, a few freshmen jumped my fence. They decided to take a dip in the pool, so I pulled out a paintball gun. I unloaded over 100 rounds, painting their backs bright yellow. It also dyed my pool yellow, and it'll apparently cost around $500 to repair. 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, my dog proudly brought home a rabbit he'd killed. The same rabbit that belongs to my neighbor's daughter. FML
Today, I was on my back patio talking with my husband. It got dark outside, and I saw something shuffling in the back yard. I freaked out so bad that I went to run inside, only to fly face-first into the screen door. Turns out the shuffling was a baby rabbit. FML
Today, my 6 ft snake got loose. I found it. It was in my neighbor's backyard, constricting their pet rabbit. FML
Today, I shot my boyfriend in the balls by mistake, twice. First it was a paintball gun I was using with my nephew, then it was a slingshot I use to scare away the bird who keeps eating fish from my pond. He is now sat icing his groin acting like I did it on purpose. FML
Today, I drove home on my birthday, and my mom said she'd meet me there. I was a little surprised to get home and find she wasn't there, but even more shocked to see my rabbit run over in my driveway. Turns out he'd gotten loose and my mom had run him over, panicked, and left. FML
Today, after I warned my son repeatedly that if he wanted a rabbit he had to clean and feed it, I checked on it. It wasn’t just dead, it was dead and rotting in a pool of its own pee and faeces. I yelled at him, but he just shrugged and told me rabbits are boring and he forgot it was even there. FML

Not only did you try to kill it instead of just relocating it, but you tried to justify your shit aim with 'the bullet missed' instead of 'I missed'. This one calls for a YDI unfortunately.

Sounds like a Tom & Jerry episode.

#177 - That was my first thought as well. But, under sufficent water pressure the hole could tear quite fast. Especially off a ricochet?

You do realize that it would be much more efficient to just put up a fence? Then you don't have dead bunny or any other rabbits that might feel like a snack to deal with... or serious water damage and a broken pool. A little time at the shooting range probably wouldn't hurt either.

I totally understand, unfortunately most people wouldn't so I'm not sure posting it online was the best idea. Everyones like "Oh no! Save the cute little bunny eating all your veggies! I bet you were even using fertilizer you bastard! Go organic! Don't eat meat! It's not like we NEED heme iron and animal protein in our diets! If we try hard enough maybe we'll end up with the extra intestines we need to process only plant material..." So they probably won't be sympathetic to your pest control methods.

Oh, please!! Killing a rabbit is no big deal. Animals catch rabbits and eat them alive every day. You think rabbits normally die of old age? Jeez. Yet, YDI for shooting near your pool. Good thing a child wasn't standing near by, since you obviously lack the ability to think ahead.

YDI, because its easy to rabbit proof gardens and such, and theres no real way for you to know that this was the rabbit that was eating from your garden in the first place (unless it was eating out of it as you were Elmer Fudd-ing it around the yard?) Also to those questioning whether or not we kill rats/mice, there are such things as humanitarian traps that you can get to capture animals that are being pests that DONT kill them, and you can just relocate them. Theres no reason for this person to go off and try and kill the wabbit when he simply could have just relocated the animal.

I'm sure the rabbit had it coming, but seriously, lets think gun safety here. Always know your target and what is beyond. Don't go shooting at something if there is something nearby that doesn't react well to bullets. Next time you use a .22 to solve a vermin problem, make sure its a clear shot. Also most jurisdictions have a law against discharging firearms in a residential zone so make sure you aren't breaking the law in the process.
