Mine was a horrific tale. I was partially paralyzed in my legs and required a wheelchair. As I was going down the sidewalk I noticed thousands of army ants marching behind me. I spun the wheels as fast as I could and kept looking back as they were still coming at me. I thought I had them beat and in front of me was an ambush platoon of ants carrying a stick. They threw it in my wheelchair spokes and tumbled me forward out of the chair. By then the main ant force started stinging my legs and somehow stimulated them to work again.
At that point I began stomping them as they retreated. However I kept after them as the remaining last ones made it to their mound. I then dropped a large firecracker down the hole and declared that victory was mine.

Are you sure it wasn't red ants?

Hello there fello paraplegic ant victim. My gosh I am surprized to have run into you on this site. Your recollection of that horrible event brings to mind a Tuesday night in Miami, Florida, when I was mugged by a lovely lady of the evening outside an emporium specializing in spirits and high volume sounds. I too lay on the pavement, however, as I recall, it was not due to any antaction. I was on the gound because the hooker pushed my chair over as she darted away with my wallet, glasses, and my hypotrithalmide pills. I have often contemplated the hooker's reason for taking my glasses "and" my super tripster whiz bang pills. But that's another story. Laying there on the wet pavement I could, after several minutes, just barely make out a line of something that looked like little tiny 6 legged men with machetees marching toward me in a long, thin, gray line. As they began crawling up my legs I started screaming. i screamed for fourty days and fourty nights until i woke up here and found your message on Yahoo. Thank God someone else has seen them. I think we should get together and go inform the President about this.

I am baffled.
Why do people think that this is a strange occurence?
I get attacked daily by ants.
Did you know that ants can carry like 100 times their body weight?
So, does it surprise you that I get carried away by hordes of ants?
I mean, I get carried away all the time.
Just today I was carried away, but just a little bit until I put my foot down.
Anyway, there are so many different types of ants.
Some of the most commonly know types are red ants, black ants, army ants, and queen ants, for example.
I speak with ants. Did you know that? I speak to them using my pheromones. It's like I communicate with them using my body's natural odor. I started a fight between two ants the other day because I forgot to shower. That sucked. Imagine how bad it could be if I farted? Or burped up some pukey smell from my tummy?
Did you ever see two ants fight?
Can they slap-fight?
Or do they pinch-fight?
Well, I have to go or else my mommy is going to ground me from going to work tomorrow.
Bye

No, but once, I was on an airline flight. Apparently, and I discovered this later, there was an important person on board who required assassination. This guy was so elusive that there was no other option but to sneak some dangerous snakes on board. A whole variety.
You think your ants were bad? Imagine the sound of a million snakes chasing you down the street?
I'm sick of seeing questions on here complaining, when there are so many worse things. Snakes mate. Snakes.
10 points!!!

I did. I was at my son's brand new house and using the computer in his guestroom. I'd just come back to Tucson, Arizona, from England that day having just been there for the funeral of my fiancee', who lived in Wales. I felt something on my feet but didn't realize that ants congregate on a battlefield before one of the officers calls out to attack! Therefore, I received dozens of bites all at once . They had gotten into the walls of his new home and came out via the electrical socket. Thankfully, my son got an exterminator in as the next day we read where in Phoenix, Arizona, ants had attacked and killed a baby sleeping in its crib. My son had his one month old newborn son sleeping in the room across the hall. I'm glad they got me and not him.

You story was worse than mine...
I was on a sabbatical, doing an archealogical dig in Mexico, and got attacked by some rather nasty ants of a breed I do not know.
The odd thing was, I didn't notice the co-ordinated attempt by them until it was too late...they were verty small, and hundreds of them got onto my feet and legs before I noticed they were there, then as it dawned on me, they bit me all in unison, hop and bounce I did as the pain hit me..I ran away and jumped in a stream quickly, they all jumped off at that point but it was a nasty business that left me in pain for days....
