Today, I learned that you should always check the inside of your guitar to avoid a snake bite. Nope, strings don't help. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, while tuning my bass guitar, I noticed a very strange screeching sound. I leaned over to look behind the neck. The biggest string snapped off and cut the side of my face. FML
Today, when I warned my guests to check the toilet for snakes, I meant it. FML
Today, I went into my room and found a plastic snake on the floor. I yelled out to my sister, "Good one, Ellen!" I picked up the snake to take it to show her. The snake started moving in my hands and bit me. I had to go to the hospital. FML
Today, my boyfriend tried to cure me of my snake phobia by buying one. When he took it out of the cage, it bit him. Now he's terrified of them too. Even worse, he dropped the snake, so it's now loose in our house. FML
Today, I found out that maggots can live inside of a saxophone. FML
Today, I forgot to tune my guitar pre-performance. Surprising, because it was in tune when I frantically did it by ear backstage. Too bad two of the six strings snapped, smacking the drummer in the face. FML
Today, I was taking a hike through the Appalachians. I lost my balance in a steep area, and grabbed for a root along the trail above me. It turned to not be a root, but a large, angry snake. FML
Today, I learned the hard way not to take off your shirt with a toothpick in your mouth. FML
Today, my son's glasses were missing. My bathroom is not well lit, but I noticed something sticking out from under the toilet seat. I excitedly grabbed it, thinking I saw the band of the glasses. Nope, it was a snake. FML
Today, I had to explain to my little sister that not all guitars are supposed to have a hole in them, that when I was talking about "breaking it in" I didn't mean I'd smash a hole in it, and that she shouldn't have taken a hammer to my expensive new guitar. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I think the real FML is that you left your guitar in a place that a snake could get in. Or you house is infested with snakes. In option b, there only one recourse: burn the house down and never look back.

Get the snake to go outside by distracting it with some badgers and mushrooms!

I guess the snake just didn't enjoy your music sadly

At first I was wondering how a snake could even hide in a guitar, then I realized you're talking about an acoustic.

Pssh, foolish #4, that won't work! Guitar Snakes are immune to fire, kinda like dragons.

Idk where "Slovenia ahhh shah z shahssbsb janzhhbs" is but it sounds like there was no escaping this snake attack

Slovenia is in Europe, I live about an hour north from where OP lives, in the neighbouring country, and venomous snakes are extremely rare here, especially in urban regions. I would never think to look into stuff for snakes before picking something up and I've never met a snake while being out in the woods or anywhere here.

Guess music doesn't sooth the savage beast

Because obviously that's the first thing you should think to do when picking up a guitar. "I should just check inside for snakes before I play this."

I have a feeling maybe the snake wanted a no strings attached kind of relationship
