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?
Thank you, your FML was submitted, and will appear the moderation soon!

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.

You are a sorry liar. There is a absolutely NO WAY IN HELL that you could have put a hole larger than a PENCIL into one side of that pool! The bullet could not penetrate more that 4 feet into water. At MOST, water would have leaked in a steady stream. You could have stuck a pencil in the hole to stop or virtually shut off the flow of water. You sorry liar. There was enough time to have gotten a shovel and dug a freakin trench to drain the water away. I don't know what is more pathetic... you for being a sorry liar, or the animal loving lemmings who go overboard at your post.

Hey you idiots, I'm a HUGE animal lover but stop ******** on people for shooting animals. Cultural diversity makes it the norm for a cushy city/suburb person to never want to hurt an animal as long as it's cute and fuzzy; you don't know his story, he could be living out in the country and that garden could be his FOOD source, not just pretty flowers. I wouldn't just keep giving up my food and hard work to one single tiny animal when I might have a family to feed. If you have mice eating and pooping in your house, you set up mouse traps and kill them. I bet hardly any of you bother to trap and relocate them. Mouse traps can be less humane than a quick bullet, by the way. Anyway, I still think the OP is an idiot for shooting near his pool, and is probably a dumb hick. But that doesn't mean it's NEVER OKAY TO KILL A WILD ANIMAL OMFGZ. It's not like he's killing it for fun and mounting its head on a wall as a trophy.

WOW . i cant believe you would do that .. what kind of sick twisted person are you? are you okay? I am so happy that your pool burst and all goes bad. I hope the rabbit some how gets back at you.... you dont deserve a pool. i agree with some one who commented... you SHOULD BE LOCKED UP. and i too feel frightened some one like you can have contact with other humans.. you disgust me.

I have no problem whatsoever with you shooting at the rabbit. All of the people commenting about "don't shoot the bunny" can kiss my ass.

#572- There are very, very few places, if any in the United States where a person would have access to internet, but not food. Neither the rabbit NOR the garden were a significant source of food. Enough with the "it was threatening his survival" shit.

hahahha it does such that your pool flooded but still, YDI big time dumby, its called A FENCE. shit, put an electric fence around your precious lilacs or tomatoes or what have you. Shooting a little bunny is dumb as hell, there will be more bunnies unless you put a fence around your garden.

cockroaches, other bugs, mice, etc. are pests and it's ok to kill them. rabbits are pests as well, but it's not ok? hypocritcal douchebags. #575: actually we don't know for sure. some people actually do need to have their own gardens because something in the store stuff is bad for them. so they are required to grow their own food. therefore, stfu, ok?
