Today, I sprayed down some ants in my house. In the sea of ant corpses was a single living ant seemingly cradling a dead one in its arms. I'm convinced I just became the villain in an epic tragedy. Now I have to live with my ant problem because I can't bear to tear another family apart. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I saw a wasp on the ground, apparently injured and unable to fly. It was being mobbed by ants and looked certain to die, so I stamped on the ants to save its life. At this point it sprung up, stung me, then flew off. FML
Today, I realized why my sister refuses to let me clean her side of the room. She's secretly been trying to revive dead ants. FML
Today, I came home after a long day at work, and decided to tidy up a bit before finally settling down to relax. I went to take the garbage out, when the bag split and out fell the trash along with hundreds of tiny red ants. FML
Today, while trying to take my Christmas tree down, I learned that at some point during the last few weeks, it became home to a colony of green ants. I'm now covered in bites and terrified to go anywhere near it. FML
Today, despite putting all the food in the fridge, taking all the rubbish outside, cleaning the house top to bottom and setting up bait, we're still dealing with a bloody huge ant problem. I've now got a rash all over from being bitten while I sleep. 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
Today, I kept finding ants crawling all over my face. After a while, I realized that they were all coming from my beard. I have had a population of ants living in my beard. FML
Today, after losing a battle with ants in my apartment, I just pulled one off that was biting me in the vagina. FML
Today, I walked outside my house to find my father in nothing but his underwear, spraying ants with ant-killer, laughing like a maniac and screaming, "Die bitches! Die!" FML
Today, I saw a dead ant. It made me think about how brief and fragile life is, why we're all here, and whether it has a point. It was a piece of lint. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

First, they're. Second, just about every species on this planet is more deserving of existence than humanity, and you do a fine job proving that.

He's just trying to move it. Ants bury their dead.

Ummm actually no they don't, they consume their dead. It was bringing it back to the colony. Don't you think it would be a little inefficient for ants (a species with huge population numbers), who have a lifespan of a few days to bury their dead?

Um...they don't eat their dead. They move them away from the colony.

Ants don't feel the way we do about family and friends. So don't feel bad. Go ahead and murder all of them!

For some reason, I don't believe you.

Don't feel like you're alone in this! I'm that way too! Now if it were a colony of spiders... DIE! DIE! DIE!

I am not sure if you are saying that you like spiders or hate them. either way, My altwo cents is this: Spiders are nature's best insecticide. I dont let my husband kill any of them on my house.

why??? I would kill all of them, but I am way to scared to go near most of them. That's my family's job while I take care of all of the scorpions. They can go anywhere else, just not my house. haha I will probably get thumbed down. I understand that they kill other insects, but I can handle any other insects.
