Today, while mowing my backyard, I carelessly ran over a fire ant hill. Thousands of tiny stinging insects blowing towards you while you're wearing shorts and a t-shirt is definitely not fun. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, while mowing the lawn, I ran over a hornet's nest. FML
Today, I was on a nature hike and had to use the bushes as a restroom. In doing so I stepped on an ant hill and ended up with my shorts around my ankles, dancing the Twist to fend off the ants. FML
Today, I was mowing my grandma's lawn when I was suddenly swarmed by bees. When my grandma saw me covered in stings later on, she said, "Oh yeah, there are tons of bees in the grass! Be careful!" FML
Today, while mowing the lawn, I was attacked by an underground hornet nest. I now have many stings, two scared dogs, and a mower still running outside. The hornets are swarming it and some are sitting on the lever, as if to turn it off. It's like they know. FML
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 helped my parents out by tearing down the old, rusty swing set that's been in our backyard for years. Little did I know that there was a beehive hidden in the long grass, and I now have dozens of painful red bumps all over me. FML
Today, I went on a date at the park. Have you ever felt dozens of ants swarming up your legs and back? I have now. FML
Today, something flew up the back of my shorts while I was at work. I now have itchy hot welts the size of my palm coating the back and inside of both my upper thighs. FML
Today, I decided to sunbathe in my backyard in an attempt to be healthy. The result? Insect bites over my body. Somehow, despite being fully clothed the entire time, my scrotum also received several bites. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Hopefully they avoid your intimate bits and you don't do a strip tease in front of young children.

I hope you are okay though :)

I've always just run them over, never had a problem. You kind of just run it over and then walk around the thousands of ants pouring out

That's pretty cruel IMO.... Or am I the only one who tries to not even step on insects on purpose...? Except spiders and centipedes. They are monsters from my nightmare.

@27 do you even know what red ants are? they're like black ones, but have killer bites. I don't think you'd be saying that still if you were covered in little biting insects

You've obviously never had an allergic reaction to those little bastards...

I'm actually allergic to fire ants, you just walk around the mound after you run it over.

You must be a liar, as your shorts seem to be on fire

But can we not outrun ants?

Honestly you should be happy most people end up hitting yellow jacket hives.

One does not simply mow over an ant hill, though....

We had these giant ant mounds in Southeastern Indiana. You would have to exert some serious effort to mow over one of those bastards. Though, I did clip one or two smaller mounds with the front wheel of a riding mower in my youth.

Wouldn't the mower have killed the ants?
