Today, my friends and I went paintballing. The instructor showed us the sound of an unloaded gun by shooting at my face. It wasn't unloaded. 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 went paintballing with my siblings. Once we were done, they realised I hadn't been shot at all. They cornered me in the forest and lit me up. I have welts all over my legs. 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, 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, me and my girlfriend went paintballing. I made sure we were on the same team, so I could protect her and be manly. The first time she got shot was by me, I shot her finger. It broke. FML

Today, I played an intense paintball match, with me and my friends versus my boyfriend and his buddies. When we won, my boyfriend went mental and said he only lost because of "lag". When I pointed out we weren't in a video game, he reacted by firing a paintball straight into my chest. FML

Today, I went paint-balling with my girlfriend. As we drove she was scared about getting shot a lot, especially in the head. I reassured her that with all the protective gear it was unlikely. First round, within a minute, she gets shot 3 times in the back of the head. FML

Today, I went paintballing with my girlfriend and her family. Her dad ended up shooting me, and I doubled over in pain. I thought that was it, until he stepped back and shot me several more times in the stomach. "Just double-tapping," he smirked. More like quadruple-tapping. 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

Today, I was at my friend's house. We were looking at her dad's guns, and I was explaining gun safety and how you should never put your finger on the trigger. I then shot a hole in the floor of her house. FML

Honestly, I would report him. That is incredibly unsafe, you aren't supposed to aim at people's faces regardless.

Continue the education. Show the others how to crouch down and hide by kicking him in the balls.

Why would he/she shoot at your face? Why not your arm or foot or something that's not alive?

ItsAUnicorn 27

Tuesday 14 October 2014 10:50

Yeah because arms and feet don't hurt at all.. I'd go for the latter

Tuesday 14 October 2014 10:52

Pretty sure arms and feet are just as alive as your face, and the rest of you..

My comment would only be wrong if I said "...something ELSE that's not alive."

He wrote it as three things apart, not calling feet and arms not-alive.. I read it wrong the first time too

Well that a pretty stupid of the instructor to begin with. Why would anyone shoot at someone's face. I hope you kicked him in the face

Rule #1) Always treat your gun like it's loaded. Rule #1) Never point your gun at anything you do not intend to destroy. They are both rule #1 because they are equally important. Clearly your paintball instructor is a wannabe who is too much of a wuss to learn how to handle a real gun, or else he would have known better than to aim a projectile "weapon" at a human being's (I'm assuming) unshielded face.

This. Not to mention it should've had a barrel cover or plug on the end while not actively being used, had that been the case OP never would've got shot.

What an idiot instructor, did he think that you were a crash test dummy or something?

Today, I called back a number I'd recently missed a call from. To my surprise, it was my boyfriend's fiancée's number. I've been with him four years, he's been with her for six. Turns out, not only is he a cheating jerk, but technically I'M the other woman. FML

Today, I was at the park with my autistic son when I noticed a teenage girl imitating him by flapping her hands and walking on her toes.
