Today, I had just finished writing my rough draft essay, so I went to sit by the pond. A giant moth suddenly flew down and attacked me, causing me to drop my binder in the pond, ruining the essay. I discovered in the aftermath that the moth was actually a leaf. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I saw a moth trapped in a spider web. Feeling gracious, I gently freed it, and then took it to the window to let it out. When I opened the window to set him free, my $300 air conditioner fell two stories and smashed on the sidewalk. The moth flew away. FML
Today, I got up and started getting ready for work. As I entered the bathroom, I noticed a moth in the shower. Feeling generous, I caught the moth in a cup and took it to the front porch. I released the moth and watched it fly away… into a giant spider and its web. FML
Today, a moth was flying around my house. Annoyed, I picked up a shoe to crush it with. The moth landed on a light fixture on the ceiling, so I made my move. Dead, the moth slipped gracefully through air and onto my head. So did the light fixture. FML
Today, I woke up after a long night of trying to catch a moth. I'd knocked down furniture and screamed up the house to do so, but I finally got it. What did I see first thing this morning? Another moth. FML
Today, a friend and I were walking around a festival when out of nowhere a giant bug hit me in the face. I went into instant ninja mode, screaming and flailing. When I stopped, I realized it was just a leaf and everyone was staring at me. FML
Today, I was taking a final exam and I reached into my pocket to get out a pencil. I felt this thing in my pocket so I got it out and put it on the desk. At first I thought it was a leaf but then it started kicking and trying to run around. It was a cockroach. It had been living in my pocket. FML
Today, I was sitting at the computer when this really annoying fly kept landing on the keyboard. After a while, I took the bottom of a pen and squished it. Twenty minutes later I absentmindedly started chewing at the bottom of the pen. FML
Today, while I was relaxing outside drinking a beer after a long day, a moth decided to fly right into my ear canal. I instinctively threw my hand up to swat it out. With the same hand holding the beer. I soaked the side of my face and down my ear. At least I got the bug out. FML
Today, I took a dump in the woods at a secluded lake. I used the leaves of a seemingly harmless tree to clean myself. However, I was unaware that the leaf was poisonous. It feels like a thousand hornets are attacking my ass-crack. FML
Today, I smashed a spider with my pencil eraser. Later, I absentmindedly chewed on it while doing my homework. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Too bad it was just a leaf though, because if it was in fact a moth, then your actions would have been totally justified and understandable.

Where did you write the essay -indoors? Why did you then take it by the pond? YDI.

Why didn't you use a computer to write/print the essay?

Because her laptop got ruined when she threw it in the pond the last time a butterfly ''viciously attacked her''.

It does suck (I would have the same reaction to anything that I perceived as being a spider heading toward me, but moths are almost as bad). The bright side - at least it was a binder that went into the water and not a laptop. :)

Perhaps it was required to hand-write it, it's not uncommon in certain areas really.

If you have a fear of moths, any motion toward you can seem like an attack.

But most people with irrational fears still have enough sanity to avoid claiming a moth ''attacked'' them as they know no such thing ever happened.

Reminds me of a Calvin and Hobbes cartoon. Calvin is wanting Hobbes to jump into a huge pile of leaves and Hobbes mentions there are probably dozens of slugs under the leaves waiting to crawl up Calvins pant legs. Then Calvin is seen jumping out of the pile exclaiming there is always something in nature waiting to sting or ooze on you to ruin your day lol

There's nothing wrong with handwriting essays. Nothing wrong with sitting by the pond. There's nothing wrong with being freaked out by a leaf you thought was a moth. These things happen. The reason this is YDI is that word "went". You finished your essay and WENT to the pond. Why the hell did you take your binder with you? But also, that does suck, so FYL.
