Awkward, Neighbours and Fight: Sorry, I…

Sorry, I…

Today, I was doing target practice with my new paintball pistol. One of the bullets missed, and hit my new neighbor's house. I went up to the door to apologize, not realizing I was still holding the paintball gun. My ex-soldier neighbor thought I was robbing him and put me in a chokehold. FML

Today, I came home from work to find that my neighbor's trash bins were still on the curb. While returning the bins to her backyard, her kid ran out and shot me with a paintball gun. Multiple times. He thought I was a burglar and ruined my new suit. FML

Today, after breaking up with my girlfriend of two years over the phone, I got a knock on my door. It was my now ex-girlfriend who came to seek revenge by shooting me in the balls with a paintball gun at about a three-foot range. FML

Today, I went to a paintball match with my family and the family of my brother's girlfriend. A few minutes into, my brother's girlfriend's dad snuck up on me, unloaded into me from behind, and snarled, "That's for knocking my daughter up." He got the wrong guy. My back is killing me. FML

Today, the police came to my house and arrested me. Why? The neighborhood kids thought it would be fun to hide behind my house and shoot at people with paintball guns. People saw it coming from my house and called the police. I was fired from work, due to missing it without notice. No excuses. FML

Ballshot

Today, I shot my boyfriend in the balls by mistake, twice. First it was a paintball gun I was using with my nephew, then it was a slingshot I use to scare away the bird who keeps eating fish from my pond. He is now sat icing his groin acting like I did it on purpose. FML

By oww - This FML is from back in 2016 but it's good stuff

Today, while playing paintball, a shot ricocheted off a wall and slammed into my nuts. I told the other team I was out and tried to run out of the field, but as I was jogging to the door I was hit again in the balls. My friend saw this and dropped his gun, laughing. It hit me too. FML

Today, I saw my dad's friend across the street working on my neighbor's roof. To continue the airsoft war we'd been having, I shot at him with the sniper gun I'd bought. I hit him, and he fell off the roof. I ran over to see if he was OK. It wasn't my dad's friend. FML

Today, I thought it would be fun to join my friends for a game of paintball. I got shot in the same spot three times in a row. It turned out to be my own team, who mistook me for the enemy because I was wearing… camouflage. FML

Today, I played paintball with a bunch of friends. By the end of the day, my girlfriend and I were the only people left on the field. She shot me mercilessly, and I screamed like a little girl. 30 people watched, 4 people filmed. FML

Today, I was paintballing when I got shot in the stomach and winded. As I was gasping for breath on the ground, someone came up and shot me point blank in my crotch. FML

FYL since your neighbor can't seem to tell the difference between a real gun and a paintball gun.

First of all OP is a dumbass for shooting paintballs in a backyard, also for calling them bullets. And second it is a natural reaction to assume he has a real pistol because it's a paintball pistol, not a full size marker. Most of the time they have clips to feed the balls in and usually are black. From a distance you can easily mistake it for a real gun. Especially when you're a trained killer and instinct kicks in. You're not going to wait for him to point the gun at your face and shoot you.

And when he was giving you the ass kicking, it didn't occur to you to shoot him with your paintball gun? It would have stopped him long enough to explain why you were there, and have enough time to run out.

Hardly, if i was grappling with somebody I thought was threatening me with a weapon, having them shoot me once would only increase my desire to tear their head off before they could do it again. Besides, the whole point of disarm drills is that the assailant doesn't have TIME to get a shot off before the weapon is under your control.

A gun is a gun, real or otherwise. As an ex-soldier, you are trained to perceive a stranger facing you holding a gun as a threat. It's a natural reaction for a soldier to try to subdue and disarm any perceived threat. YDI for being an absent-minded dumbass for bringing your gun with you. Be lucky you didn't get your retarded ass choked out.

and klutzy they make paintball guns that look exactly like real ones. the paintball pistol has no hopper or giant air tank so no you can't tell the difference.

Aw man, that's gotta suck. While I have to agree that it would have been a better idea to put up something to block your wayward shots and not fire in the direction of someone's house, I have to respect that you were going to own up to it and apologize for your mistake. Getting caught in a chokehold usually isn't what you want when you're trying to be a little responsible, so FYL.
