Today, while mowing the lawn, I was attacked by an underground hornet nest. I now have many stings, two scared dogs, and a mower still running outside. The hornets are swarming it and some are sitting on the lever, as if to turn it off. It's like they know. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, while mowing the lawn, I ran over a hornet's nest. FML
Today, I went to clean my roof when something buzzed by my head and a sting hit my neck. It turns out there's a small nest of, like, five hornets just chilling outside of my window. I found a dead one on the desk in my bedroom. FML
Today, I made a joke about my electric lawnmower sounding like a bunch of angry bees. It was verified when I ran over a beehive in my backyard. FML
Today, I was mowing my grandma's lawn when I was suddenly swarmed by bees. When my grandma saw me covered in stings later on, she said, "Oh yeah, there are tons of bees in the grass! Be careful!" FML
Today, I saw my neighbor's son mowing their lawn when suddenly he started to do this crazy dance. Chuckling at his antics, I waved and walked back into my house. His mom called me from a hospital later to ask if I could put the mower away; he had been attacked by bees. FML
Today, while mowing my backyard, I carelessly ran over a fire ant hill. Thousands of tiny stinging insects blowing towards you while you're wearing shorts and a t-shirt is definitely not fun. FML
Today, I had to mow the lawn with a weed-whacker because it rained a lot the past week and the push mower was broken. I started "mowing", and forgot that I was mowing where the dogs take dumps, I absentmindedly whacked over dog poop… which got flung into my face. FML
Today, I found a hornet's nest in the backyard, so I called my brother over to take a look. He said "Hmm, wonder how fast you can run…" then hurled a rock at the nest and sprinted back to the house. I wasn't so fast. I now feel like someone's beaten me half to death with a cactus. FML
Today, I tested out my new paintball gun by firing a few rounds into some thick bushes. Nothing could've prepared me for the angry swarm of hornets whose nest I'd apparently shot. I'm in so much pain. FML
Today, my husband warned me we had a yellowjacket swarm move into our basement. He wasn't kidding. I'm phobic after I was swarmed as a kid, I'm watching our bug zapper literally smoke with how many it's killing, and my can of wasp spray seems woefully insufficient. They can have the house! FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

you make them sound like evil genius', also I hope your stings get better, try holding some folded kitchen towel soaked in cold water on them.

Ok well you should have a safer mower like one that turns off when you let go of it. But FYL indeed

Ouch. I can understand your pain. I was once attacked by something that looked truly prehistoric (and was about twice the size of any hornet I've seen). Worse, it was on a friend's firing range, while I was out setting targets. For a few seconds, I thought I had been shot. If you want to get rid of them, I suggest diesel fuel or gasoline to the nest. If it doesn't drown them, light the suckers. Then run. Really fast.

It's a simple solution - Plug it off..

Today, I went to school only to find my boyfriend kissing another girl. He then said he was checking for a temperature? FML

Is because he doesn't have much experience. We all know he should check the temperature with his hand much lower below the belly :)))

This made my day. Sorry you got stung though.

Don't lawn mowers turn off if you get off?
KiddNYC1O 22
Some newer models, no?

Only if you leave the "safety features" connected. I personally never have, they're way to much of a pain in the ass. Lol

way to give darwin a hand! (or maybe just some fingers/toes.)

I know what it feels like

It'll run out of gas at some point. Don't bother turning it off
