Today, my neighbor brought a ruined napkin holder over and claimed that we drilled a hole through his wall and ruined it. I apologized, not telling him that it was actually a bullet that my boyfriend shot through the wall. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I was at my friend's house. We were looking at her dad's guns, and I was explaining gun safety and how you should never put your finger on the trigger. I then shot a hole in the floor of her house. FML
Today, I found out that the loud "firecrackers" I heard the night before were actually shotgun blasts by my neighbor murdering his girlfriend. FML
Today, I confronted my boyfriend about him and his female friend’s friendship making me uncomfortable. He responded by throwing the mother of all fits and punching a hole in the wall. He said I have to pay for the repair, because I "made him do it." FML
Today, I was doing target practice with my new paintball pistol. One of the bullets missed, and hit my new neighbor's house. I went up to the door to apologize, not realizing I was still holding the paintball gun. My ex-soldier neighbor thought I was robbing him and put me in a chokehold. 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, my boyfriend and I went shooting. While I was showing him how to properly hold and adjust a rifle, he accidentally pulled the trigger. The gun kicked back and hit me in the face, breaking my nose. FML
Today, I arrived at work to find a bullet hole in the window of the storefront we're leasing. Security assured me it had always been there and the glass shards on the floor had somehow been missed in my many vacuum passes and the pre-lease inspection two months ago, so no need to worry or fix it. FML
Today, after a full year of work getting my house decorated, it was finally finished. I stepped back from the last painted wall to admire it and my neighbour on the other side of the wall, who was doing some decorating of his own, drilled too far and punched his drill bit right through the wall. FML
Today, my boyfriend took me to his house and introduced me to his parents. He also showed me around his bedroom. I think he forgot to remove the dartboard on his wall, taped to which was a swiss-cheesed printout of one of my Facebook photos. FML
Today, I got home to my wife surrounded by plaster, old cement and bricks, and a fucking massive hole in the kitchen wall leading through into next door's kitchen. Apparently she tried to put up a shelf and the wall “fell down”. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

It doesn't matter if the shot was accidental... OP, run... away from your boyfriend... fast!!!!

This may be a shot in the dark, but I'm guessing if you leave this guy, you would be dodging a bullet.

if the story is actually funny, thats one thing, but it wasnt. so you're basically just teaching people who arent experienced with guns that "these things are bad, and we shouldn't have them."

Sounds like you need to not have guns in your house if your bf is that stupid and careless.

It's idiots like your boyfriend that makes the rest of us not able to own guns

There's no such thing as an "accidental discharge", only "negligent discharge" if you're not capable of handling a weapon safely then for your own sake and those you love.... Don't pick one up! OP's boyfriend should seriously think twice before handling another firearm.

I feel like some big parts of the story are missing here.. first off, if that happened to the neighbors house ops boyfriend must have been right up next to the house because the neighbor though he drilled a hole into the wall. second of all would the neighbor have at very least heard the gun fire or found the bullet? also if I thought someone drilled a hole into my wall id be quite upset to say the least.. thank god no one ended up injured or killed from this! I hope there is a follow up to this because either way this could have ended very badly.

There are many types of homes, like townhomes and duplexes that share walls. Some have rather thin walls, like where I grew up. So drilling through accidentally is possible. Though most people would even get with their neighbors for something like that. I understand being scared of a bullet going through the wall, but suck it up, make sure everything is ok and take responsibility.

what size round was it....call me crazy but guns are not dangerous if you are safe hell I just took my 8 year-old cousin shooting today first time he ever shot a 12 gauge he was so happy (yes I had to help him hold it an yes I took the shock in my shoulder not his )

OP, is your boyfriend "special"? Only an idiot would be unsafe enough with their own weapon to accidentally discharge it. To your boyfriend, you sir, are a careless imbecile. Sell your firearm to a licensed dealer, do not purchase a replacement.

I really wish the neighbor had noticed it was a bullet and called the cops. And I'm really, really, really grateful it was a napkin holder and not someone sitting down at the table or a baby in a highchair. All guns are ALWAYS loaded. Always. Even if they are apart and in four pieces and you can see the empty chambers, you ALWAYS treat a gun as if it is loaded. There is no possible excuse for having a loaded gun go off in an apartment, other that it being dark as he tried to shoot a rapist in his apartment. And even then...you DO NOT shoot towards anything but the outer wall and you still hope to hell no one is on the other side of it. IMHO, you use knives and such in an apartment. Never a gun. Hopefully, he will Darwin Award himself soon before it IS a baby on the other side of the wall!

I live in an apartment, on the first floor corner, and keep a shotgun with a lighter load. Small space means I'll still protect my family and have less of a chance of penetrating the wall. Thankfully the way the floor plan is laid out I shouldn't ever be firing, God forbid I'd have to use it, towards my neighbors. To the op; take him to a gun safety class at the local range.
