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.

He eats your plants so you attempt to take his life? YDI There are ways to keep unwanted creatures out of your garden. Invest in them. Do some research. A simple Google search would take you far. Also #433, I am a vegan and I wouldn't be surprised if there were at least a good number of vegetarians on this site.

You can't take revenge on an animal. I don't mean it's wrong, I mean it's impossible. Animals don't do revenge. They do survival. Get a dog to protect your garden.

I love how everyone is bitching about the rabbit. To the people who are telling this guy that he should die, take a deep breath and suck it up. It's a simple misuse of a gun, it doesn't justify anything that severe. Then again, there are tons of better ways to protect your garden than killing the culprit. Get a dog, they keep rabbits away nicely. Ever since my family got a German Shepherd, my mom's garden has been rabbit-free.

5 gallons of water is about 2/3 of a cubic foot. So 15,000 gallons is 2,000 cubic feet. Most pools are about 4-5 feet of water. Let's be pessimistic and say it's 4 feet deep. That's only 4 feet by 20 feet by 25 feet. That's not that big a pool, folks. As for the rabbit, don't give me that animal rights nonsense. I'm sure he was shooting to kill. It's only "abuse" if he tortures the poor thing. As someone else pointed out, you don't go all nuts over mosquitos, now do ya? It was on his property, it was creating a nuisance. If he wants to shoot it, there's nothing wrong with doing that. It's not like rabbits are an endangered species. (Dogs are more effective, though...) That said, YDI. The first thing you learn in every single firearms safety class is not to point a gun at something you don't intend to shoot. If the pool was in your line of sight, (that's "sight" not "site" folks), then your pool was going to get shot. Simple. Besides, ANY leak in your pool was going to flood your basement. You need to figure out how you're going to prevent this from happening again when you trip while holding a screwdriver and puncture the pool again. Same result without all the fuzzy animals. @440: jess, you need to learn to spell. Seriously. This ain't texting. You can use whole words on the Internet.
