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.

YDI dummy. Don't shoot near your pool. Put your garden into a huge wire cage, with a couple inches underground. And please ditch the gun with your aweful aim.

First off, by definition, that bunny is far from innocent. It was eating this guys food, therefore it is not innocent. Bunnies can be major pests in a lot of places just like rats and mice and roaches. And since this rabbit specifically terrorized his garden, the op had every right to shoot it. As for all of the "you are a terrible person for shooting a rabbit boo hoo hoo etc" bullshit, you folks need to learn a few things about caring for a garden with food in it. Yeah the op should have put a fence up, but not at the moment when he decided to shoot it. That would make no sense. But, ydi for shooting at it when it was by your pool.

What is it with the retards bitching about trying to kill a raddit, how else do you keep it from coming back? Rabbits chew through fences, you retards.

YDI for having horrible aim. These PETA retards here really need a reality check though.

Ok, first of all, the comments here are like nerds on youtube. Stop calling this person a redneck, ********, dick, animal killer, f***er, etc. THIS PERSON DOES NOT DESERVE IT. Yeah, he/she could have chosen a better way to fix this problem. Being a vegetarian, I know this better than most. What should not be happening is all of you people judging this person. Sure, he/she had a "blonde moment", who doesn't? Is it not enough that this person had their basement flooded, undoubtedly with personal belongings inside? Are the repair costs not enough? Is the local ridicule not enough? The fact that this person is sharing this extremely embarassing story with us shows extreme humility. Admittedly, you should not have tried to kill the rabbit, try some of the above mentioned tactics next time. When I read all of your comments saying "Karma's a bitch, ain't it" and the like, is this ridicule not enough to lower your good karma significantly? It is much more productive, much less time-wasting, and much better for self-esteem when people provide constructive criticism rather than calling people (who they have no experience in meeting except for 50-ish or less typed words) hippies, retards, and the like. Wishing you the best, Jerrrr!
