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
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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?

I had an ant infestation that got so bad I would wake up, pour some cereal, pour milk, and start to enjoy my breakfast when I noticed small red dots were floating in my milk. Do you really want it to get that bad? It's either kill them with poison or eat them alive. If the little boogers would have stayed outside, your problem would be solved.

That's kind of sad. I can totally see that as a movie from the ants perspective. But I think Hollywood had enough with ants after Bug's Life and Antz.

Think about it like this, you weren't a villain in an epic tragedy, you were a God bestowing judgement on the foul beasts of the land that pillage it without hesitation.

Do you think hell is a place where you are reunited with the souls of everything you've killed? I'm actually worried about this, I had a fly/maggot problem in my house.

Just you you know, you've probably never seen a male ant. Their sole function is to breed with the queen (with a few species only being an exception to this rule). Everything else is done by the hardworking ant ladies. Also, they'll just take the corpse back to put in the exact same place with all the other dead ants (yes, like a cemetery) - and in most cases, with every other bit of junk they don't want in their nest. Hilariously enough, if you drop a certain chemical on a live ant, all the other ants become convinced it's dead and gently but firmly take it away to the dead ant repository, where it, obviously feeling a kinda rejected, tries to wander back to rejoin the main group. They just keep taking it back to the ant graveyard until the chemical wears off. C:

Some Buddhists or Hindus wear masks so they don't accidentally inhale and kill bugs.

Omg.. The comments and "logic" in this thread are killing me. I don't like ants in my house... I just sprinkle some cinnamon and when they bring it back to their queen and she sends them away because they don't like it. It doesn't hurt them tho.. Just keeps them out of my house
