Today, I was walking to work when I saw an empty pop can. Angry at whoever left it, I kicked it out of the way. Turns out it wasn't empty; it was filled with hornets. I had to run 2km to work while being attacked by a giant swarm of wasps. 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, this huge wasp started flying around me. I freaked out and started running from it. Then I slipped, landed face-first in some dog poo, and got stung by the wasp on my leg. FML

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 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, 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

Today, I had food poisoning. When I was finally able to drag myself to the kitchen for some Gatorade, I got stung by a wasp. 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

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, whilst out on a walk with the dogs, I decided to explore a different part of the woods. Suddenly I felt a sharp pain in my bum. Then another. And another. I realised it was wasps and ran. I've been stung 11 times and have to go back tomorrow for the coat I dropped. FML

You were angry because someone left a can of pop on the ground? Lol. FYL about the hornets though, that sucks.

if you were angry because some one left something on the floor, would you not pick it up and throw it in the bin than kick it? which isn't solving anything. YDI.

i agree with everyone saying you should have picked it up.. kicking it isn't going to clean it up

Since when do hornets or wasps (can't make up your mind?) follow someone a full 2km before giving up the chase? Last time I accidentally upset some hornets they stopped following me after a few meters. Oh well, you deserve it anyway.

Okay: First, why would you kick a popcan instead of recycling it, if you were angry about someone littering? Second, hornets and wasps are two different things. Third, there wouldn't be a "huge swarm" because maybe only 4 or 5 could be in the can at once. Fourth, they wouldn't chase you for 2 kilometers. Maybe 200m? So I have to say you extremly exaggerated this story.... FAIL.

Ok, for everyone including you whining about wasps and hornets being 2 different types of bees, who cares? You still get the point

If you were angry that somebody left it, why would you have kicked it, instead of picking it up and throwing it away? You deserved it. I hope you got stung a bunch of times. Besides, I call a fake story. Pics or it didn't happen.
