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.

Fake. First, where do you live that it Is okay to pop off a 22. Second, you basement would be underneath 15000 gallons of water. Third, I am guessing that you have a normal pool, 5+ feet deep. A bullet, less likely a 22 would even hit the bottom. It would desintagrate within a few feet hitting the service. Finally, you suck asshole at aiming.

I agree it is a fake one. A .22 would NOT make more than a 1/8" hole and that could be patched before the basement got flooded. #239 is way off on the accuracy of a .22 also, I've shot squirrels in the head as far as 80 yards out. And yes, I am a responsible NRA member with all the burdens of trying to negate the irresponsible actions of idiots like this person.

It's the same issue if a feral cat or dog were in his garden or trash probably; an animal that's gone wild or just is wild, on his property. Wild rabbits aren't delicate, shy little creatures like a pet bunny. Wild rabbits ARE mean, and they WILL hurt you if you catch one and you're not careful. While I in no way agree with his attempts to kill the animal, I understand his viewpoint. Because rabbits are touted as cute, cuddly pets, even wild rabbits fall under that. It's the same with the friendly cuddly kitty they see at the pet store versus a feral cat or even a wild smaller cat like a bobcat. A bobcat would mess you up if you threatened it. It's the same thing with a wild rabbit. As to why the rabbit was in his garden, think about where he might be living. If he's got a really expensive pool, I'm thinking the far-suburbs in somewhere like OUTSIDE all the city in New York, where rabbits are considered a pest. So the rabbit would be complacent from nibbling gardens and maybe being fed, but this guy wouldn't be. Although my gut reaction is to RAGE at the intent to harm a bunny, I realize that they're wild, and mean, and death is the way of the wild. (Also, they DO scream like a dying baby, but not only when they're dying. My pet rabbit got stuck in some wire and screamed like that, but when I got him free he was just fine, expect a little shaken.)

You know what - serves you right! Put a fence around your garden or something but I don´t really see why you should be shooting innocent animals!!!!

I can't understand how you try to shoot at an animal with something that can go through a lot of water, your pool's wall, some dirt/sand whatever and then your wall. You're sick. And yeah, I do understand that this is a fake. But still.

I'd rather let bunnies live rather then your ******* basement

Too bad it didn't ricochet off of a wall and hit you square between the eyes.

Revenge versus an animal while maybe understandable because of your obvious frustration is utterly pointless. Animals don't know right from wrong, the rabbit won't be thinking if only I didn't eat that poor guys vegetables I deserve to die. So you kind of deserve this for losing self control.
