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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

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.

I wouldn't be surprised if many people were either; I'm also a vegetarian. Still, what I was saying is that I doubt every person who wished him disaster upon him is even enough of a hardcore vegan to justify it--although, frankly, it wouldn't justify their comments, but it would explain it.

Is this for reals? This sounds like something out of a cartoon...or a movie...

People, it's a RABBIT. Sure, killing it due to being angry is horrid, but killing it to get rid of a pest that can cause massive damage isn't. I hope a mod locks the comments because this is ridiculous Also, al. Vegans/Vegetarians: We are OMNIVORES. Those canines are there for a reason. You can go on not eating meat, but don't berate the guy for shooting an EXTREMELY COMMON PEST! And, btw, my family has a pet rabbit, so no, I am not being an ass. The rabbit wrecked his garden. It is a pest OP: YDI for shooting in the direction of the pool. If you have other things that could be wrecked by shooting, try planting some plants that repel rabbits. Less property damage that way

YDI for being so white trash for even having an above-ground pool. plus you're the reason that so many more gun-related accidents occur in the US than any where else!

you are the one that put your house in the rabbits territory. you diserved that and a lot more misfortune to come. as a matter of fact, you deserve to be shot at and almost hit.

#445- Again, the diet of the people commenting is ENTIRELY irrelevant, as the OP was not killing for food or survival, but out of "revenge". If the man was starving and needed to kill the rabbit to eat, people would not be reacting in the same manner.

#452: I think it's kinda ignorant to say that he put his house in the rabbit's territory. He didn't choose to put it there, because he didn't BUILD it. He simply bought it, and might have not expected rabbits to hang around.
