Today, a hornet thought it would be fun to fly into a candle that I had lit. As the hornet burned to death, it flung its charred body at my face, which is more painful than it sounds. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was having trouble blowing out the last of the several candles on my bedside table. Exasperated, I blew as hard as I could, which sent hot wax from the other candles shooting into the air, all over my face and into my eyes. FML
Today, I burned my nose. How? I tried sniffing a lit candle. 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 was at a fire roasting marshmallows. When mine caught on fire, I pulled it back so I could blow out the flames. It flew off the stick, and, still flaming, landed on my face. 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, there was a gigantic wasp in my room. It stupidly flew upwards and got hit by the rotating fan. It then immediately decided to take it's revenge by stinging me. FML
Today, while mowing the lawn, I ran over a hornet's nest. FML
Today, I was sitting next to my friend as he blew out the candles on his birthday cake. Some asshole got the bright idea to shove his face in the cake, but they missed and pushed me in instead. The candles were still lit. My hair caught fire. FML
Today, I saved a honey bee from drowning in our pool. It promptly stung me and died. FML
Today, a wasp knocked me out, broke my glasses, and left a gash over my eyebrow. It did so by flying under my glasses while I was playing my guitar, causing me to reflexively bat at it with the hand that was still grasping the guitar neck. FML

Hornets are not a part of nature, but instead created by Satan himself.

Damn nature, you scary!

#33, hornets aren't from Satan. Wasps are. However, a flaming Hornet is just as bad, and hilarious too...

karma 'stings' like a bitch
Imhere4fml 24
What karma? OP didn't light the hornet on fire..
CallMeMcFeelii 14
Ok, not calling you out I swear since others have said similar things, but, how the **** is this karma!? Do you guys understand what karma is? Apparently not. Oh OP lit up a candle so karma decided to throw a ******* burning wasp at his face? Totally makes sense now! Oh 17, you sneaky bugger. You beat me to it!
ylirne 9
oops my bad! guess I need to read these a little more in detail before trying to be witty..

Well guys go soft in her. She must be like 16-17 yrs, she does not know the meaning of karma. She would have heard someone else use the word and tried to use it, unfortunately she got it wrong.
CallMeMcFeelii 14
My comment really wasn't directed entirely at her. People on this site like to use "karma's a bitch" or something similar when it has absolutely nothing to do with karma. It's a bit ridiculous. "Oh you fell off your bike because you thought you saw your sister? Well that's karma!" No. No it ******* isn't.

#35....go soft in her? That doesn't sound like very good advice.
jerryj 27
Right, especially when the next sentence states that she's probably 16-17 years old.

#44 Glad i'm not the only one thinking that..

Too late for that now.

#35 I knew what karma was when I was 6....
SaySayGurl 10
If you're 16 you should have known what karma was for several years.
ylirne 9
okay I know what karma is. I've known what it was for several years and already said that I made a mistake and read the post wrong.

The hornet was probably saying "If I'm going down, I'm taking you down with me!"

Nothing like a toasted hornet to keep warm on a cold day.
mkymouse90 17
No to me that definitely sounds painful.. Burning Hornet on the face.
AurumPotestasEst 16
OP's saying that, even though it sounds painful, it feels worse than it sounds.
