Here's a really sad Minecraft story for you guys. I was done mining one day, and went to my mountain-side house. Little did I know I was being followed. When I turned around to close the door, I saw a creeper. I closed the door quickly, but accidentally clicked again letting the creeper into the house accidentally. I knew this was the end. I went into a corner, started slashing with my sword, and I hear the ssssss. And that's the end.
I never saw my house again. Ever.

So what? Why are you telling us this story? What makes your sob story any different than the thousands of others we've all heard? Please, tell me.
Please don't be such a jerk. He's new here, so at least show some sympathy.

Here's my sad story. I once built a great village in a superflat world. It was complete with houses, village breeding, farms of every kind including animals, a cobblestone farm, and walls. I had built up almost a DC of enhanted weapons, food, and other resources. To complete my world I had only one thing left - to create a mob grinder to generate XP and collect mob drops. So I build a mob drop tower in the center of my village for convenience.
However, I built it too tall, so they didn't allow me to generate XP. To remedy the situation, I estimated a rough location to build a secondary platform where the mobs could fall, and then be pushed by water into a second drop that would be about the right height. But I underestimated the fall height and even more greatly underestimated the proficiency of mob spawning in broad daylight on superflat.
After I completed the tower, which had a cobblestone base, mobs immediately started spawning and falling. It only took the first time that a skeleton hit a creeper and didn't quite kill it for it to blow up. Immediately, there were mobs falling and chasing after me in every direction. Every time I would get close to a skeleton, it would hit a creeper, and that creeper would explode as well. No matter how much armor I had and how powerful of a sword, and could kill anything in a single hit, I couldn't stop creepers from spontaneously exploding all over the place.
I tried to get close to the bottom of the tower to repair it, but mobs were falling faster than I could kill them and skeletons would keep hitting me back. Pretty soon there was a hole down to bedrock and about 15x15 blocks around where all three layers of dirt had been exploded away. Three of my wheat farms started to leak water into the bedrock floor, and my nearby enhanting room was almost gone. They blew up nearby houses and farms, until finally a creeper made it into my main storage area, and with one explosion, wiped out almost all of my most expensive resources, including enchanted weapons, armor, food, gold, diamonds, emeralds, and random traded goods. Boy was I upset!
After ten minutes I finally got the situation under control by doing guerilla jumps into the mob tower and adding a few blocks here and there until I finally got the bottom sealed off. Then I walked around and got rid of the rest of the remaining mobs, and reviewed the damage. Most of my nearby wheat farms were gone, half the enchanting room was gone, I lost half of my main resources, and village houses were in ruins. I licked my wounds and vowed to never let it happen again.
So I built up my resources and slowly began rebuilding the missing parts of the village. I moved my main resources into a house on the opposite side of the village and repaired the wheat farms. And finally, I used a redstone-obsidian farm to build up enough obsidian to build a solid checkered wall 3 blocks tall and surrounding the entire bottom of the mob tower. Once completed, I cleaned up the mob tower, and started letting them fall again. Now I can attack them through the wall holes, and if they explode, it just harmlessly destroys a few items or nearby mobs, without affecting the rest of my village, and my village is in peace once again
True story, just happened last week, and I'm still playing on this world as my main world. Wish I had filmed it, would have been epic!
...that's the saddest thing I've ever heard. My eyes are watering right now... I'm trying not to cry... IT'S NOT WORKING! THE TEARS ARE COMING! I BETTER END THIS POST BEFORE I ACCIDENTALLY TYPE THAT I'M CRYING RIGHT NOW!
Today, I was walking to my blacksmith in my tiny handmade village and a creeper crept up on me next to my wall.
So what did I do?
I stabbed it with my knife. He died. He will be remembered among the Creeper Empire for his heroic and brave actions. (We put his rocket launcher gunpowder somewhere safe.)

Did something happen to you in your childhood to give you this unreasonable fear of rutabaga?
Very long story that I cut short here because quoting a huge block of text would annoy readers more than anything.
Wow that was even more epic of a sad story with a happy ending than that one time I spent 3 hours hunting chickens and making sure ocelots wouldn't eat them anymore. Good off you to be this determined and persistent. I might have had raged quit that world and started all over again (Or kept the epic hole to bedrock and all torn apart village in it's wrecked state and rebuilt elsewhere, to keep it as a permanent historical landmark.I'd leave a note on a sign saying : **** Got Real.)
I haven't lost a building to creepers in a long long time. Not since dashing was introduced, all mobs get dash attacked no matter what. Also I simply don't leave anywhere mobs can spawn in areas where I have important things.
However, the area where I DO fight is littered, absolutely covered in creeper holes. The land is only flat in a few places any more, and there are holes with holes with holes in them. But I also have a lot of records!
Once I had a pig.
Then he died.
It was delicious, delicious murder.
Once I saw a dog. It looked at me, cocking it's head to one side with the cutest look on it's face. Then it started to run toward me, wagging it's happy little tail, and it ran up to me, smiling, if dogs could smile. So I killed it. The sucker never saw it coming.
Once I saw an ocelot, and I held a fish in my hand. It came towards me, slowly, suspecting danger, but I was too smart for it. I gave it the fish, so that it would become a cat and not flee from me. Then I killed it. Thought it could outsmart me, but it couldn't.
Two sad stories, both true.
@OP: get used to it. It happens. Click my sig to learn how to fight creeper spawners! Lots of creeper spawners. With the 1.3 update, you even get to fight charged creepers!

I used to have a dedicated desert for record farming, MAN that thing was covered in craters! XD good times

You don't really want to post "everyday things that happen to people on a daily basis"

I needed to hear a story like that today... for the 7th time.
