Back to public transport

Today, I got the repair estimate for my car. It's going to cost me $3,000 to rebuild the front end. It was wrecked because a couple decided to have a lovers' spat in the middle of the freeway. I had that car for exactly four hours. FML

Today, I finished installing a brand new engine in my old car. It cost just over $6000. Later, I was waiting at a red light and an uninsured drunk driver smashed into it head on. It's completely totaled. I got to drive it 5 miles. The car is worth $1000, even with a new engine. FML

Today, as I was talking to my girlfriend about how I need to find another job to be able to afford school next fall, I hit a deer causing about $3,000 in damages to my car. FML

Today, I got my car back from the repair shop. After paying $400 for them to fix the scratches on the driver's side door, some one decided to key both sides of my car while I was on my lunch break from work. FML

Today, I finally got my paycheck from working at my minimum wage job for the last three months. I was delighted when I saw it was worth $846. On my way to cash it, I destroyed my car's suspension. It's going to cost almost $800 to fix. FML

Road safety

Today, while driving to work, some asshole stopped sharply on the 60 mph highway because he almost hit the car in front of him. Even with maintaining my distance, and slamming on the brakes, I still ruined the front end of my car on his dented bumper. I haven't even had the car for a year, and I'm still the one at fault. FML

Today, I got woken up by my parents telling me I had to go buy a car so they could have transportation. Neither of their cars work, so I was letting them use mine, and then they wrecked it. It needs nearly a thousand bucks in repairs to be drivable again, but since it was my car, I have to replace it now to appease them. FML

Today, at 4:30 a.m., I hit a deer on the freeway on my way to work. I've only had this car for 6 months and it's totaled. I had to wait hours for a tow. On his way to pick me up, my husband's radiator blew and his serpentine belt shredded. I also missed a day of work. FML

Today, my car was damaged in an accident. At the garage, I happened to find out that if some big insurance company is paying for the repairs, they only charge half the hourly rate they charge people who have to pay from their own meager salaries. FML

If it's not your fault, shouldn't insurance be paying?

well if this car is being financed than this is fake you are required to have full coverage... if it's not financed than I would say if you can afford to buy a brand new car cash than you can afford to fix it... I do see the fml in this though you are happy just bought your new car than boom it's gone hope it all gets resolved for you

First of all, everyone is ASSUMING it's a NEW CAR. Maybe the OP bought it used, paid for it in cash and had liability insurance. You people are stupid.

Seriously, everyone who's talking about insurance, please shut up. He never said he didn't have insurance, and if he hit them on the freeway, he was going pretty damn fast so whole front of his car is probably gone. Insurance deductible or not, that's still a ton of damage to fix. So shut up. FYL dude.

totally. to be honest if they were the problem why were they not the guilty party? if they were, they'd be paying for it. buy a new car, scrap that one.
