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.

******* rednecks. Perhaps if you pulled John Deer out of your ass you would recognize that there are more logical solutions to your problems than blow shit up. But I guess that's too much to ask from someone who clearly did not mature past the age of 11. You could not deserve it more, honestly. I hope next time you miss it puts YOU out of OUR misery. And yes, if having the common sense to recognize that there are more humane and logical ways to keep rabbits out of your garden than pulling out your shotgun means I'm liberal, then I am happy to be one.

Seriously? A rabbit? You realize people keep those as pets right? And you realize they are totally harmless? The rabbit was just trying to feed itself, and maybe a litter of babies as well. It has no idea that it was taking things from your garden, and that you would be upset. The rabbit sees food and eats it. Growing up my mom had a garden, and she always would get frustrated because the critters would eat her cherry tomatoes. After a while, she good naturedly planted a tomato plant for the critters, and potted a tomato plant for our family. For the record though, to all you posters who have asked in prior comments - I don't eat meat. I haven't since I was ten. My husband eats meat however, and he happens to agree with me that you not only went to the extreme, but that it was beyond uncalled for.

Hahah 254. Harsh And 250, seriously? I hate people who flip out at people for being vegetarian as if it could possibly effect them negatively. They only do it to feel superior or just to insult people. Ignorant fools. And I'm not even a veggie

Use poison next time or learn to aim. FYL I love all the "ydi for trying to kill an animal" idiots. Rabbits shouldn't be roaming through back yards, killing one is not going to suddenly wipe out the species. Take a chill pill.

way to have anger management issues...my mom is a gardener and she avoids the inconveniences of animals destroying her plants through other ways that are rather effective. you should look into some non-violent solutions to your problems.

#269- Those back yards were the rabbit's natural habitat long before they were back yards. You fail. OP- You deserve it for "wanting to get revenge" on an animal with a brain 1/10th the size of your own. Actually, no. Your brain is probably the same size. Moron.
