Today, I ran over a newspaper with the lawnmower, instantly volunteering myself to pick up confetti for hours. 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 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
Today, I found the $3,200 engagement ring I dropped in my yard. I ran over it with my lawnmower. FML
Today, after spending three hours raking leaves, I went to the store to get some supplies. I came back to find my neighbor had decided to blow his leaves all over my yard. FML
Today, I ran out of breath while mowing the lawn. I was on a riding lawn mower. FML
Today, while trying to pick up dog poo, I tripped and landed in the pile. FML
Today, my neighbor waved at me while he mowing his lawn. Wanting to be friendly, I waved back. In doing so I tripped on the curb, fell onto my own trash can, and rolled halfway into the street. He didn’t stop mowing. FML
Today, my elderly neighbor used his snowblower to send all of the fallen leaves in his yard into mine, which I'd raked earlier that morning. FML
Today, while I was mowing the lawn in my backyard, I ran over a glass bottle. My legs looked like a disco ball. FML
Today, I wanted revenge on my neighbor, whose dog craps in my yard, so I spent a day at the dog park gathering up dog shit. I piled it up by the property line and ran over it with the mower, intending to spray his driveway and car with turds. Instead, it gummed up the mower. Now it stinks too bad to fix. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

You must've had some tall grass to not notice a newspaper.

I would have just sprayed it with a hose, it's biodegradable.

I've ran over paper before and what you do is you keep going back over it with the lawnmower and eventually the pieces will be so tiny and blended up theyll be stuck between the blades of grass and will be barely visible.

Um, why did you bother? Newspaper can be excellent fertilizer for a lawn. Also, try a rake next time. YDI.
