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.

Wow. I agree with #125. Haha. But really, your fault for missing. Also for shooting so close to your pool. You should've seen that coming. And, definitely **** all you who are crying about shooting the rabbit. Animals are here to provide food for us. I don't see you all complaining about when they eat each other. And at least shooting them is more humane than ripping them to shreads with our teeth and claws. And we still use them for food. So get the hell over it. Seriously. And I realize he wasn't shooting it for food, but you don't know that he wouldn't have eaten it afterwards. And even if he didn't, it's a rodent. You trap, poison, and kill rats, what's the difference?

YOUR FAULT! first rule of shooting, always know what is behind the target and understand what a shot missed means. YDI. Idiot.

OP: Congratulations, your life is f***ed. Why? Because you are a retarded redneck who not only is too lazy to find a more effective solution to your rabbit problem, but is stupid enough to, 1. Either not notice that the rabbit was standing close to your pool until you'd already shot a hole through it, or 2. Think that you are a good enough shot to hit the rabbit and miss the pool. I can't believe this FML passed mediation.

well, you deserved it, but I'll tell you what you did NOT deserve... The trillions of vicious and ignorant comments from PETA fans and others who are screaming animal abuse at you right now. I didn't even read them, but I'm sure they're there. I never would've posted this if it happened to me for that very reason. Nothing wrong with defending your garden - in many areas rabbits are overpopulated anyway and stuff like this is always a natural part of their population cycle. Haha, but unfortunately its still a YDI for shooting too close to your pool.

YDI for having terrible aim. And im not a gun expert, but I thought you cant shoot guns that close to other peoples homes. Unless u live in the middle of nowhere?
