Health, Transportation, Cars, Ecology and Animals: The irony stings

The irony stings

By Anonymous - 08/05/2009 02:07 - United States

Today, I was driving home, it was 80 degrees out. Making a rare attempt to be eco-friendly, I turned off the A/C and lowered the windows. A bee then flew in through the window, hit my cheek, and stung me. That's what I get for attempting to be eco-friendly. FML

Same thing different taste

Today, I was taking a break in my work truck when I saw a huge swarm of bees flying my way. I have a hand crank window so I started cranking it up as fast as I could and the knob snapped off before it closed and I got stung by the whole swarm before I could get out. FML

Today, I was going to set up my air conditioner in the window. As I opened up the window, I must have disturbed a wasp nest, because a dozen wasps flew in and several of them stung me. The rest are now somewhere in my house with my terrified girlfriend. FML

Panic on the streets of…

By Anstice - 05/10/2009 03:07 - United States

Today, I was at a stop light and a bee landed on my leg. I screamed and started swatting it. It flew into my jacket and I started to strip my jacket off, taking my foot off the brake. I hit the car in front of me and deployed the air bag, breaking my nose. Then the bee stung me in the back. FML

Today, I got up feeling refreshed and positive for the first time in ages, so I happily threw my window open to greet the beautiful morning. A bee flew into my eye. FML

Today, the weather was nice so I decided to eat outside. I quickly found out that my new, expensive hair conditioner attracts bees. Lots of bees. FML

Fixing a hole

By NOT THE BEES - 15/05/2024 07:00 - United States

Today, I thought I'd patched up the hole in my window pretty well. That is, until I heard a buzzing noise in my room. There was a huge ass bee that somehow got inside and was trying to escape. I would've helped, but I'm terrified of bees, and I'm now afraid to enter my room. FML

Today, I left the windows open because I live in Florida without air conditioning because the asshole landlord won't fix it. There was nice cool air from the rain. I've killed about 100 flying ants that have made their way inside. Now I have a hot house with closed windows and flying ants. FML

Invasion

By Anonymous - 26/08/2020 14:01 - United States

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 was riding my motorcycle on the highway and wearing all of my gear - boots, gloves, jacket, and full-face helmet. Somehow a bee found the only spot not covered on my body and stung my neck. I'm allergic to bees. FML

Bees, wasps, that sort of thing

By HURRY UP - 24/05/2023 17:02 - United States

Today, I was waiting in the car for my roommate to come outside so we could get to work. He was taking his sweet ass time. And there was a large wasp flying around. And I have a fear of bees. And the window refused to roll up. I sat there, frozen in fear, until he finally came out. FML

Today, my friend and I were out looking for nectar, when a gigantic beast rumbles by and sucks my friend into its gaping jaws. He hits some flesh inside the mouth, and sacrifices himself for the hive by stinging the horrid beast. FML

Ironically, at that speed, it's better for the environment to roll up your windows and use the AC. Opening the windows creates enough drag to worsen the MPG.

Three things: 1. It has been proven that there is no environmental advantage to having your windows open verses running your AC. They are about equally environmentally friendly/ detrimental. It makes little difference in the long run whether you roll down the windows or turn up the air conditioning. 2. Why is everyone getting down on environmentalists? It's not hard to be "eco-friendly." Turn off the lights when you aren't using them, recycle, and don't leave the water on when you aren't using it. None of these things are hard AND they can save you money! :) 3. I am sorry you got stung by a bee, that really does suck.

Everything has a price. If we want to truly live in harmony with the rest of nature around us, we need to accept the fact that our lives won't be quite as comfortable and cozy as they would be if we continue the strain of living through environmentally destructive means.

People should be beaten for promoting that "green" nonsense. You got what you deserved.

Your house/car is just as much nature as a bird's nest.

#4 is the only one who has commented this with any truth or bit of sense If you want to be "eco-friendly" or save a tablespoons worth of gas, drive with the windows up with no AC. don't accelerate faster than 2 mph per second, and turn your car off periodically to coast down hills. basically be a "hypermiler" look it up, and STFU

lol only 80 degrees, try driving in 100 degrees no AC and a smoke from a wildfire covering the sky, so opening windows isnt an option either. sorry just 80 is nothing even though bees suck
