Today, I found out why my cups of tea have been tasting a bit funny. It turns out my kettle is full of ants, so every time I boil water to make tea, the ants get re-boiled along with it. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I went to take a shower. When I turned it on, no water came out. Only ants. FML
Today, I found some Nesquick Chocolate Milk mix in my pantry which sounded good. While making a glass, I got angry because not all of the mix would disolve. Frustrated, I downed the drink. When I finished I looked in the glass and realized the mix that wouldn't disolve was actually tiny ants. FML
Today, I made a horrific discovery; the months-long gnat epidemic in my spotlessly clean home has been emanating from my coffee pot. They've been procreating inside it all this time. I use it every day. FML
Today, when going to fill up the kettle, I noticed a bad smell and pieces of something coming out of the tap. Turns out there was a dead snake in my water supply. FML
Today, I was making some tea for my colleagues when I accidentally dropped the tea bag into my cup of coffee. I thought, "Why not?" and took a sip. It tasted like a caffeinated botanical disaster, and the whole office got to enjoy me retch for 10 minutes. FML
Today, I found a horde of ants in one of my socks when I put it on my foot. FML
Today, I made a cup of tea at work. Whilst talking to a workmate, I took a sip of the tea, which I had forgotten was boiling hot, and laughed at the same time, causing it to come out of my nose. I have blistered my whole mouth and even burnt my nostrils. FML
Today, I woke up to find that my cat had knocked over a $35 can of powdered baby formula, and there were TWO different colonies of ants warring over the bounty all over the counter. FML
Today, I poured boiling water over my instant noodles. A freshly boiled cockroach also rolled out onto my noodles. FML
Today, I found thousands of ants in a secret nest in an unused corner of my apartment. They were feeding on the baking mix I forgot in a box from moving in two months ago, and the queen has been laying her eggs on my wireless router. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Lesson learned. Next time, always rinse your kettle out. :l

this wouldn't have happened if you had let your mom wash the kettle and dishes with bathroom cleaning chemicals.

Add some honey and cinnamon and you got yourself a tasty treat.

At least boiling the ants made them sterile.

If it's anything like my kettle there is a little mesh filter that lets them get in but not out (easily).

ydi since it took you so long to actually go and check .

This happened to me too. Unfortunately, I don't know how long they were in there for before I noticed, but when I did I threw it out and bought the kind that you can totally open the top and have a good look inside. I still get ants in there everyday because, as someone else pointed out, it's a water source for the ants, but I rinse the whole thing before using it. Problem solved! =)

It's a kettle, not a dish!

But you still have to though. Otherwise you get weird gunk in your tea or whatever from not rinsing it out.

I know how long have they went without washing that kettle, also It doesn't seem like ants would have that distinct of a flavor
