Today, I accidentally stepped on a dead bee. The stinger was still intact. How do I know? It stung my foot. I'm allergic to bees. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, a bee landed on my leg. I didn't realize it was there until my friend yelled out, "Bee!" kicked me in the leg, and ran off. I fell to the ground screaming and clutching my leg. She missed the bee and it still stung me. FML
Today, I started my job as an assistant to a beekeeper. I forgot to put gloves on, and got stung like crazy. My hands swelled up to the size of baseball gloves. Turns out, I'm allergic to bees. FML
Today, I was at a stop light and a bee landed on my leg. I screamed and started swatting it. It flew into my jacket and I started to strip my jacket off, taking my foot off the brake. I hit the car in front of me and deployed the air bag, breaking my nose. Then the bee stung me in the back. FML
Today, I pulled a bee off of my friend's dog because we were worried he could be allergic. Of course I got stung, and of course the dog wasn't allergic. Turns out I am. FML
Today, I was started my week of camping alone in the woods. I took my shoes off to go to sleep, but I had to come out to get water. I stepped on a wasp, and while I was standing on one foot looking at the sting, I realized I was in an ant pile. I'm allergic to both. FML
Today, I saw a wasp on the ground, apparently injured and unable to fly. It was being mobbed by ants and looked certain to die, so I stamped on the ants to save its life. At this point it sprung up, stung me, then flew off. FML
Today, I found out I was allergic to bees, the hard way, at my wedding. FML
Today, I saved a honey bee from drowning in our pool. It promptly stung me and died. FML
Today, I went to the zoo with a guy I like, when we were there we saw a swarm of bees. I told him that if I got stung he would have to watch me because my dad is deathly allergic to bees and I have never been stung. Jokingly, he nudged me into the bush and said "let's see". We did. I'm allergic. FML
Today, I was stung by a wasp. Startled, I stumbled and grabbed a nearby tree branch to regain my balance. The branch happened to be the location of the wasp's nest, which fell to the ground and split open. The wasps weren't happy. FML

"Today, I accidentally stepped on a dead bee. The stinger was still intact. How do I know?" The sole of your foot has a photoreceptive surface that scanned the stinger for structural integri— "It stung my foot. I'm allergic to bees. FML" Ah, that makes sense too.

Well, on the bright side it would appear that you found that epipen

Now how many people can say they got stung by a dead bee? Ouch. Sorry OP. No idea what i would do. Put some vinegar on it perhaps?

I stepped on a dying wasp. Feel for you ON. Luckily I'm not allergic though.

If you accidentally stepped on it. How do you know it was dead before stepping on it? It might have just been chilling on some flower and suddenly - incoming!- here comes your foot. And with no time left it did a hail Mary sting in hopes you would recoil. Or because it is a asshole bee who believes in fight over flight. Or... I guess it could already been dead... I wasn't there and/or a bee autopsy would be just a little extreme... besides not being a thing.

Jeez, dude. Do you have a life outside of this site?

No, so I lash out by asking strangers dumb and vaguely judgmental questions on the internet. Wait…

Aw, honey, you're just trying to deny that you killed the poor bee.

Perhaps this might be a lesson in not walking around barefoot outside.

And without an epipen handy if you know you're allergic to bees.

"Say, was you ever bit by a dead bee? Cause they can bite ya just as bad as when they was alive, especially if they was kinda mad when they died."
