Today, I went to the circus with my family. When we were looking at the animals during the break, an elephant took my purse with his trunk and ate it. It crushed my cellphone, camera, keys and wallet. After that, the circus director yelled at me for feeding poisonous stuff to his elephant. FML

Today, I took my kids to the circus. We were having fun, right up until the point they saw an old man dressed as a clown, at which point they screamed, grabbed onto my shorts, and managed to accidentally pull them down. FML

Today, I learned that Guru Tugginmypudha was right, two elephants humping is the ultimate distraction, as in, when two elephants started humping during my kids' trip to the zoo, a mad crowd of idiots rushed to watch, and somewhere in the middle of it all I clearly felt a pickpocket steal my wallet.

Today, I went to the zoo to see all of my favorite animals. When I got there, I realized they must've all been on strike or something, and refused to come out of their enclosures. FML

Today, I took my daughter to the zoo. I threw a piece of my sandwich towards a very cute chimpanzee. As a thank you, he threw a piece of crap at me, which exploded all over my shirt. FML

Tasty treat

Today, my family and I went to feed carrots to the giraffes at the zoo. After I finished my first cup of carrots, I turned back to get some more. Suddenly, I was jerked back and a chunk of my hair was ripped out. The giraffe mistook the orange barrette in my hair for a carrot. FML

Today, my family and I went to a beach where you could swim with dolphins. I was a little scared to swim with them so the trainers had a 5 minute chat to me about how they were harmless creatures. Once I got in, the dolphin attacked me and bit me. FML

Today, I went to eat out. When I sat down, I realized I forgot my straw. I took my purse with me, not wanting it to get stolen. Someone stole my food instead. FML

That's pretty funny. It was probably the elephant's way of giving the finger to everyone for making it perform in a circus.

It's your fault for supporting those places that conduct animal abuse..

YDI for patronizing a circus that features trained elephants. Trained elephants are always abused with hooks and bully sticks. It's pretty sad.

Don't go to circuses with animals. They are all cruel and completely unnatural for them. I honestly can't believe that in these modern times things animal circuses still exist, and that people still don't have any awareness regarding the cruelty involved in it- or the more unfortunate option, that they simply don't care. Also, as some people have stated, if you're that close to the elephant, it's way too dangerous. People seem to think of elephants as these gentle giants, but it's very much the opposite. Elephants are incredibly dangerous, as much as they are unpredictable.
