Today, I drove the six hours to LA to attend my Uncle's birthday party. When I tried to get off at the exit, it took me two hours just to get onto the street where the club was. By the time I showed up, the party was already over, so I ended up going to a Denny's. I drove eight hours for a Denny's. FML

Today, I drove six hours with a friend to see one of her favorite bands in concert. We were turned away at the door because the online site didn't say we had to be 21 to enter. I drove six hours back with nothing to show for it but an empty gas tank and useless tickets. FML

Today, I spent six hours driving between two airports to try and catch my flight. Two trailer accidents, two construction zones, three detours, and one police escort later, the airline wouldn't let me on the plane. FML

Today, I went to visit my aunt who lives 6 hours away from me. Her car was missing from her driveway, but she's unemployed and barely leaves the house. Turns out, she moved in with her new boyfriend and didn't tell anyone, so I had to drive 6 hours back. FML

Today, my friends and I rented a party bus, which broke down on the highway 45 minutes into the ride. I paid the guy for the whole four hours. He said he was going to flag down a car to get someone to help us. We saw him get into a car and leave. FML

Today, I drove 3 hours to go to an award ceremony. When I got there, I had to wait an hour for the hall to open, then sat listening to speeches for two hours, got my "award", and drove 3 hours home. The award was a small pin that I already had. FML

Today, after finishing work, my friend was having a party next door and my driveway was blocked. I parked 6 houses down and went to the party for 20mins. After coming out after 3 beers, I went to move my car back to my house and go to sleep. I got a DUI for driving 30 feet. FML

Today, after planning 4 months in advance and spending almost $600 to cover everyone's tickets to the event center, all of my siblings decided to bail on my 30th birthday celebration because driving 3 hours is too much. FML

Today, I'm on a road trip with my wife and in-laws. After 8 hours of driving we stopped at a hotel to rest overnight. I was elected to go to the grocery store to get dinner. While I was gone, they ate at a restaurant without me. I spent $80 on groceries for the trash can. FML

Technically, you drove 14 hours for Denny's, because you still had to drive home, right? Which sucks even more.

You could have joined four waiters in the men's room for a Grand Slam. That could have been worth the drive.

I'd drive 8 hrs to go to Sonic or Waffle House but not Denny's. I do miss Sonic... oh oh, I feel a road trip coming on! LOL, spoken like a true fat kid.

Tell me about it. My closest Sonic is a 7 hr drive yet we get to see the ads all the time. I want open one just so I can eat there.

You should've driven there the night before and stayed at a hotel.

Am I really the only one who understands why it took OP so long to get anywhere? LA is a ******* MAZE! And Mapquese sure as hell dun help! It's easy to get lost. Even if you live there!

She still should've left with enough time to get there. I doubt the party was 2 hours, so she wouldve been late anyway.

Sucks, but YDI. For long trips, you plan ahead, especially to places where you aren't used to the driving conditions. For example: if you're trying to get to someplace by 8:00 p.m. then aim to get there around 4:00 to leave room for unexpected events. And were you really planning on driving six hours just to go to one party and then come back? I'd understand if you were staying for a while, but driving six hours to do something for two hours then drive back for six is a colossal waste of time, even if you love your uncle dearly. If you're going to spend over four hours on the road, make it worth it.
