Today, I thought I saw a snake while I was watering. I got my son to check it out and he agreed too. I was nervous so I called animal control, and they said it would cost $50 just for them to come out, I agreed. It ends up I paid $50 for them to pick up an old diamond weave farmer's hat. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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, my 6 ft snake got loose. I found it. It was in my neighbor's backyard, constricting their pet rabbit. FML
Today, I had to chase off the Eastern Brown snake that's been hanging around. When it doubled back, I fell over trying to move out of its way and landed in a bush that contained 3 separate wasp nests. My body feels like it is on fire and the snake is now in my chook shed, refusing to leave. FML
Today, my mother found my escaped pet snake after she had already washed and dried it with the laundry. 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, 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, my mom called me to the laundry room after she saw a dead animal in there. I took a look and agreed we should call animal control. After ten minutes of freaking out, they finally arrived to confirm that the dead animal was the hood to my winter jacket. FML
Today, I was running outside. On the last mile, I was alongside some fields. While running down the side of the road, I glanced down and saw a snake. I was so startled I jumped left in front of a car, screaming like a girl. The snake was dead. FML
Today, I was taking out the trash and I came upon a bill from a veterinary hospital. It was for $50 and it was a bill to put my dog down. My Dad said my dog was missing and I put hundreds of signs around the city. FML
Today, I spent a half hour trying to help my cat down after he got stuck in the tree on my lawn. I finally gave up and called a local tree care company to help. When I returned outside, I found my cat casually walking about by the door. The guy who showed up to help was not happy. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

YDI for thinking you have to call Animal Control for a (most likely) harmless snake.

Uh why'd you call animal control just for a snake? It was probably harmless if it was a snake.

She does deserve it. Women usually overreact when snakes are involved. But hiding behind a kid is really silly, unless he is older than I believe I am assuming. YDI

Agreed with one; take care of it yourself, you pansy. I'm a woman, younger than you OP (or I would assume if you have a son who is not a small child; you wouldn't send a small child to check out a snake YOU're scared of), and have been snatching up snakes my whole life. Haven't you watched Steve enough to know what to do?

I totally agree. What idiot pays 50$ for a snake? Seriously, for all about people talking about 'women power', girls sure are wimpy these days. (I'm a girl, so I can say that.)

Just because you are a girl does not mean you can say that.

how old is your dumbass son?

Come to my house and I'll show you a real snake, on two conditions. 1) You leave your son at home, and 2) You learn to spell "paid." MILF's are hot. Illiterate MILF's; not so much.

It's funny how you criticize her grammar, but display a lack of knowledge of the difference between making a noun possessive and making it plural.

She did spell paid right, dumbfuck.

@#28 When it's an acronym an apostrophe is used to denote plural. @#30 It was spelled "payed" but it got changed. Dumb *****.
wbrycem 0
Paid and payed are both words. Soooo
tehredbaran 0
NO NO NO! An acronym does not allow you to use an apostrophe to make it plural. It would be MILFs. An apostrophe NEVER makes something plural, regardless of whether it is a word, acronym, abbreviation, or single letter. For letters that form words when an "s" is added, the "s" must be contextually interpreted to determine the difference between the word and the plural.

Just to piss you off.... your a sack of dbag's

That is not a hard and fast rule. Whether it is MILF's or MILFs is a matter of style, although more recently the apostrophe-less version is gaining more acceptance. I'm old school, but I am slowly changing to suit the times. Thru is not a word. Originally it was spelled "payed" but somehow they fixed it. "Payed" is only acceptable for meanings of the word other than giving money. Stupid MILF!

Do you guys realise that there's no universal set of grammar rules? If it's an acronym it can be made plural with or without an apostrophe. wbrycem is also correct. It can be spelled paid or payed.

I woulda done the same thing. Better safe than sorry.

it wouldnt matter..if you have one snake, chances are there are a million....so are you going to waste $50 every time you see a snake? Also, its just a snake, go inside and do something else, it will just go away eventually

you would have hidden behind your son? god, you people are terrible parents. i don't care if you're a woman or not; you don't do that.

If she wasn't such a pussy and called Animal Control. Jesus Christ how hard is it to kill a snake? Get a ******* shovel and cut his head off.

YDI for being afraid of snakes.

You should've put on some stilettos and shoved the heel through the "snakes" head. |:< Then you wouldn't have wasted $50 and, not to mention, practiced your snake-stomping technique.
fudrick 0
@#10 Yeah, good idea. You should also do that whenever you see a stray kitten or a puppy. It's definitely awesome to submit helpless animals to agonizing deaths by stabbing, so why stop at snakes?

Exactly, now you guys are thinking. B)
