Today, an idiot decided it would be fun to light up a firecracker in front of our house. It ended with firetrucks, a black yard, and yet somehow the weeds survived. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, some idiots set off fireworks close to my house. I was a bit worried, but my uncle assured me it would be fine and left to run an errand. Just minutes later, I looked up to find the tree right next to my wooden balcony engulfed in flames. FML
Today, I put out a fire. Sadly, it was on my doorstep because someone had lit a bag of dog poop. FML
Today, my husband managed to set fire to half of our garden setting up mosquito repellents. FML
Today, I woke up to a small fire on my roof, burning up small twigs and branches. The cause? Last night, I threw a sparkling firecracker up very high, only to have it blown onto my roof by the wind. It's going to take $2,000 to fix the damage. FML
Today, while attempting a DIY pest removal, one of our tenants lit a skunk on fire. FML
Today, I watched on camera as my son tried to light a bonfire and set fire to my shed. Props to him, he ran to get my mini fire extinguisher from the car, but he pulled the pin then THREW THE EXTINGUISHER INTO THE FIRE. The dumb SOB thought mini extinguishers worked like grenades. FML
Today, a neighbor called the cops on me and my friends because we were "starting a fire" in the backyard. We were using a barbecue. FML
Today, my idiot redneck next door neighbor decided to throw an empty whipped cream spray can into a fire to watch it explode and scare half the neighborhood. That idiot redneck next door neighbor is also my 65 year-old dad. FML
Today, my idiot neighbor decided the best way to dispose of the poison ivy in his yard was to pile it all up and burn it. I'm severely allergic. It was so bad that one of my eyes is still swollen half shut. FML
Today, my son dropped a firecracker in my flour storage bin, probably thinking the pop would make flour go everywhere. I guess he’s never heard of a dust explosion because what he actually did was set fire to the flour, causing such a violent shockwave it blew the kitchen window out of the wall. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

What is your definition of a firecracker? I know we are in a heat wave in the us but still what we call a "firecracker" wouldn't be able to do that bottle rockets don't either.

Mortars can do damage if you use them improperly. If the tube falls to the side the bomb could really cause some fire troubles

Firecrackers and fireworks and whatever else you call them should just be considered the same thing. You set them on fire, they make a loud noise and some sparks. All does the same thing. So it doesn't really matter what it really was.

Clogging the tube works just as well

At least it wasn't a few M-80s.

I was saying my definition of a firecracker really isn't that big

I used to be a good neighbor, like statefarm! Then I took a firecracker to the lawn.

Nope. Just the weeds.
Inheritance 10
^don't cut weeds you pull them :) so OP will be getting black while pulling weeds
TriflingAllDay 6
"getting black". I feel this was a disguised racist comment.
SwagPuppet 3
Did you kick his ass? Torch his yard? Anything? That would have pissed me off!!
tehcyberman 9
I would just pull out the weeds and replant them in his yard.

Weeds. Resilient little buggers.
yankfan89 27
They are like cockroaches.
MrSassypants 34
Luckily they aren't too much like cockaroaches and stay still.

6 - is it weird that I read that in Crazy Fluttershy's voice?
tehcyberman 9
I did too, Goldenchest. Don't question it. Embrace it.

Common sense: you're doing it wrong. People like this baffle me. How in the world do you get the bright idea to light off fireworks in front of a house, ESPECIALLY someone else's?
tehcyberman 9
Either he has terrible judgment, or he should be in a mental hospital for being an arson.
TheDrifter 24
Well you certainly wouldn't want to do it in your own yard, you might set the lawn on fire.
tehcyberman 9
True. Why screw with your own yard when you have a neighbor with a perfectly vulnerable yard. Since OP is posting this on FML rather than getting revenge, maybe this dude knew in the first place that she wasn't the kind of person to fight back, and that's why he did it on OP's yard.
unknown_user5566 27
Well you two are being FAR too reasonable, clearly. ;) I'm so used to responding to idiotic comments that I'm not really sure how to handle this thread anymore!
metalwolf 17
There is a point where even the most passive of people want revenge. OP, if you want to borrow the firework gun my friend and I built, just ask. Just watch where you point it when you light the roman candles.

A bottle of axe and a match should work

Can't you press charges? You should call a lawyer.
igive 29
yes she can, hopefully she knew who it was.

Better call Saul !
whitey53 5
Hey look on the bright side, it didn't reach your house and that moron could possibly get an arson charge.
TrueTriage 16
Adding a new color scheme to the lawn are we?
onlychildFTW 34
Yes, the chard black look is very in now. It's very modern!
linkinpark98 24
That's why it's illegal for fireworks and firecrackers to be used in my city. I'm glad I won't have to go through that again!
42istheanswer 27
Its illegal to use them in my city as well, but nobody told the people down the street. :(
daps29 11
Again?
