Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Same thing different taste
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, 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
Lost the fight
Today, I found a hornet's nest in the backyard, so I called my brother over to take a look. He said "Hmm, wonder how fast you can run…" then hurled a rock at the nest and sprinted back to the house. I wasn't so fast. I now feel like someone's beaten me half to death with a cactus. FML
Invasion
Today, I went to clean my roof when something buzzed by my head and a sting hit my neck. It turns out there's a small nest of, like, five hornets just chilling outside of my window. I found a dead one on the desk in my bedroom. FML
Today, I made a joke about my electric lawnmower sounding like a bunch of angry bees. It was verified when I ran over a beehive in my backyard. 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 using a portable restroom at the park, I discovered all too late that some very hostile and territorial hornets had made it their home. FML
Spring cleaning
Today, I had to mow the lawn with a weed-whacker because it rained a lot the past week and the push mower was broken. I started "mowing", and forgot that I was mowing where the dogs take dumps, I absentmindedly whacked over dog poop… which got flung into my face. FML
Ouchies
Today, I was stung by a wasp. Startled, I stumbled and grabbed a nearby tree branch to regain my balance. The branch happened to be the location of the wasp's nest, which fell to the ground and split open. The wasps weren't happy. FML
Today, I mowed over a bird while mowing the lawn. It wasn't dead, so I had to mow over it a second time to put it out of its misery. Now there are pieces of dead bird all over my lawn and I can't sleep. FML

What about the scenario where OP's lawnmower sheds all of the hornets and gets rid of the nest.

I'm certain you can out run bee's or wasps but hornets can catch up, there pretty fast. Sorry OP, hope you feel better and FYL

Happened to my dad once too, and he came running at the door pounding, and we all thought he was crazy until we saw the hornets...

Wouldnt you be able to see a nest on a lawn, I mean with the lump and the hornets flying around

They frequently burrow into the ground and you can't see if you're not expecting it. Believe me, I know...

Not to mention hornets nests can be pretty small as well, or OP could have tall grass. I still feel pretty bad for OP.

Its called a ground nest. It will be a small hole in the ground anywhere from 3-10 inches diameter depending on the age of the colony. Running it over with a lawnmower is definatly not recomnended :)

Oh my... Good luck with the result of what I'm sure ensued after that. Im sure there's some cream or something out there that could help you.

I've been told a lukewarm bath can help neutralize it as wells. Good luck OP, hope this doesn't end like My Girl!
