Today, my crush finally let me drive his truck for the first time in a empty parking lot, after he told me he liked me. It was so dark that I ended up driving into and pole and totaled his car. Now he hates me. FML
I agree, your life sucks (4727) - you totally deserved it (21313)

oviously fake... how do u crash into a pole and total a truck... not even a car but a truck? tell me that one idiot
Oh, please. It was obviously so dark that not even the headlights could pierce it.

Did you forget the purpose of headlights? I mean come on now, people drive down dark roads without any streetlights just fine, they don't go running into poles. And if you ran into a pole because you were shocked that he liked you, then that's just pathetic

I logged on just to say that. Its called LIGHTS! They are there so this doesn't happen! Maybe next time you will think.

Kinda his fault for driving in the dark and yeah...headlights?
#4 - On 10/25/2009 at 2:43pm by Turbanator
Ok, How come you can drive his truck now? What he doesnt let you use his things? I am so confused why you would want to use his truck, when you most likely have a car.
and its a woman.. no surprise there.. god, i hate when women drivers make other women drivers look like we can't drive... its called headlights sweetie.. use them next time :)

You drove his TRUCK into a pole and totaled his CAR? What kind of magic pole was that?
Does he really hate you for ramming some other dude's "magic pole?"
Not at all, the guy brought both his truck and car to the parking lot. When she drove into the pole, it fell on top of his car.

LMAO!!!!!! :D U guys r so funny!!!!
OP: If he hates u for that, he's a lame ass!! Sure, it wasn't the most suave thing to do but he allowed u to do so. Besides, if a guy is really into u, he would be naturally perturbed, but he would still want u! ;)
Ever hear of headlights? They're this miraculous device that allows you to see when driving at night...
#11 - On 10/25/2009 at 3:07pm by vanaathiel
he was a fool for letting you drive his truck and you are a fool for continuing to drive even when you couldn't see well enough - you better pay him back with interest!
Uhm.. did you not have headlights on? Do you even know how to drive...?
#16 - On 10/25/2009 at 3:31pm by dramatic11
lol weird, i had a dream last night that i drove my crush's car and i hit another car and he was pissed and didn't want me to talk to him anymore.
;s
#17 - On 10/25/2009 at 3:34pm by betseyville
i'm going with the consensus. use headlights. i hope he makes you pay for the damages.
#19 - On 10/25/2009 at 3:45pm by the_stereotype
ok...so did noone realize this girl is probably 16 and shes JUST learning to drive so hes letting her use his truck to practice? as a guy who's let a girl learning to drive use his car before, i have to say i've seen a girl do alot stupider things than forget to turn the headlights on
I was totally going to say this. If she has a "crush" and he "likes" her, she's gotta still be in high school.
However, it's partially the dude's fault too. Who lets a first-time driver drive at night?
I thought the same thing too. The OP could be in high school and therefore not a very experienced driver. I would think that her friend would have reminded her about the headlights though.

Actually, my first time driving was at night. All the poles in the 5 mile radius were still intact...but some of us know what headights are used for. Obviously the OP should not be behind the wheel.
#53 - On 10/25/2009 at 8:14pm by ohJeeznotme
Well, I'm glad it worked out for you, but that's pretty dumb. Human vision is much worse at night (you can't see color, it's harder to make out depth, and because of that it's harder to judge your own speed and that of others), and if you're not used to handling a car, it's about as safe as driving drunk, even with headlights.
Headlight FAIL.
Depending on how fast you were going and how much damage you caused, he's probably a douche for hating you after that.
On the other hand I can't figure out how you managed to do that, so I'll say Y probably DI
#22 - On 10/25/2009 at 3:58pm by DynamicDave
HDI (he deserved it) for letting a woman drive his truck
#23 - On 10/25/2009 at 3:59pm by Hillbilly_Deluxe
If it was too dark for you to see... do you think you should have been driving?
(Answer: No.)
#25 - On 10/25/2009 at 4:07pm by IllegalLight
Dumb decisions beget even dumber consequences. It sounds like you're a smashing couple, pun intended.
#28 - On 10/25/2009 at 4:28pm by blastvortex
YDI for trying to impress him. I'd get really pissed as well, frik now he has to pay for his broken shit.
So you crushed your crush's truck and now you're flushed? Don't be surprised if the next time you see him he brushes you off! Just hush and don't rush him into talking to you again.
Sounds the perfect end to a perfect evening! *blush*
#31 - On 10/25/2009 at 4:57pm by Witchcraft
Shit! I just let my lady-friend drive my truck and she didn't turn her lights on *jumps out window to stop her* Dammit she just hit my light pole. Bitch get back in the kitchen and make me a sammich!
LMAO. Sorry, like everyone else... headlights! You know, those magic things that make it possible to drive after dark... ;)
good thing you dont live in the middle east. you can get the death penalty for letting a female drive your car.
#36 - On 10/25/2009 at 5:13pm by ladiesman14
Headlights? This FML makes no sense.. It's dark you would turn your lights on!
#39 - On 10/25/2009 at 5:21pm by luckyducky123
how can you TOTAL a car in a parking lot??? Lets just say you were going fast enough to total the car, why didnt the cars owner turn the headlights on? I dont believe this one, thousands of people live in the country with no street lights etc and somehow dont manage to total cars 'cause they didn't see a post.
#44 - On 10/25/2009 at 6:53pm by patticake1601
You should always be aware of your surroundings and modify your speed to be safe for road conditions. If it's night, use headlights and keep your speed low enough that your stopping distance doesn't exceed your range of vision.
#47 - On 10/25/2009 at 7:09pm by cthulhu1138
why the hell would you drive HIS car.
you idiot.
you totally deserve it.
#49 - On 10/25/2009 at 7:37pm by shesosweet24
Wow...well, that's more his fault than yours. Haha. NEVER let some1else drive your car unless you're too drunk to do it.
#51 - On 10/25/2009 at 7:53pm by KillaKanibus
Why would you drive a truck in an empty parking lot? If you don't have your licence then it is just stupid of the both of you. If you do then still you should have noticed the pole, but it can happen. He is a jerk if he would hate you for that. A car can be repaired.
No, if it's totaled it means the repairs are so expensive that it costs less to get a new car. Hopefully he can still get insurance to cover it; if not, he might be able to sell the old one for parts if enough of them are still intact.
Insurance won't pay him a cent; if she's not a registered driver for the vehicle (or worse, doesn't have a license at all), then any self-inflicted damage doesn't fall under the umbrella of your protection.
The insurance /should/ at least cover the repairs to the pole she hit, since it's liability and not personal damages.
Lesson for today: Don't give Road Head when you're the one driving.
#59 - On 10/25/2009 at 9:58pm by Schlampe_34
when i read the post i automatically assumed it was because he was teaching her stick... I don't know why else she'd have to beg to drive and and need to drive it in an empty parking lot. well, this happened to me once but not as bad. my new boyfriend got a car and tried to teach me stick the day he got it in a parking lot... well its old and diesel and i guess if you don't put the clutch in when braking it will not stall and it will not stop either so i hit a fire hydrant. but i definitely didn't come close to totaling it. anyways i figure this situation is similar to mine but she still deserves it. just like i deserved it.
#60 - On 10/25/2009 at 10:08pm by EmoKidsFail
i agree with everyone else, HEADLIGHTS!!!! Jeez! You totally deserved that. IT WAS AN EMPTY PARKING LOT! It's not "FML". It's "you're and idiot who doesn't know what headlights are and drove into a pole in an empty parking lot."
The real reason he hates you is because your headlights aren't big enough for you to have avoided this.
On the bright side, you got to ram a pole, just not the one you were hoping to.
OP is obviously being metiphoric. The guy she likes agreed to have sex with her for the first time in an empty parking lot and she accidently crushed his dick because it was too dark for her to aim her pussy properly as she was mounting him. Drive=fuck, pole/truck=cock, "and" was supposed to be his, and totaled=snapped in half. (also I just accidentally submited this as a fml so ignore that)
you must really be a ditz in person. who the hell hits a lightpole in an empty parking lot, muchless totals a car?! that takes some work.
He hates you because you apparently misunderstood what he wanted.
He probably said he wanted to drive you in his truck. That's why he told you to keep the lights off.
#69 - On 10/26/2009 at 4:45am by FerrariCake
Not fake, cause it's not any stretch of the imagination for me to see my teenage sister and her friends pulling this off. Their lives revolve around two things: use some exaggerated language (like totaled when it might have a crumpled headlight) and blame everything stupid you do on something else. Never take personal responsibility. It was dark, you hear? Dark! I'm totally innocent.
Not. YDI.
#71 - On 10/26/2009 at 9:57am by Improbability
this doesn't really....wait...dumbledore must've been there with his deluminator to take away all of the street lights and the car's headlights! now i get it! it makes perfect sense!
#73 - On 10/26/2009 at 4:37pm by cLaAaNdEsTiNe
1- If its dark why the hell didn't you turn on the head lights?
2- every single parking lot i have ever been in has street lights, not to mention lights from the building(s) the lot is for, or surrounding buildings.
3- HOW THE HELL did you manage to TOTAL a truck by hitting a pole in a parking lot? Were you going 60, and the pole was the size of a street light pole or something? if so then it must of been pretty visible.
#74 - On 10/26/2009 at 10:06pm by CaptainPat
It's both of your faults.
Yours for not using the headlights.
His for letting a woman drive when there was a perfectly able-bodied guy there to do it.
#77 - On 10/27/2009 at 10:32am by phatdaddy
If it wasn't a new car then it makes sense. Totalling a car is just when the cost to fix it would be more than the cost to replace it. If this was an older truck that wasn't worth much in the first place, then it could have easily been totalled. Now, I do agree with the others' confusion about why headlights were not used.
I don't understand why this is a FML. I thought it was convention that women do such things at the wheel :S
okay, im pretty sure we get that headlights were a wonderful invention and that OP should have used them, it would be great if we could stop reitterating the same concept 1500 times
Dude. you're missing the point.
...She didn't even turn the headlights ON!!
#82 - On 11/09/2009 at 4:00pm by phatdaddy
bahahahhaha! never let your boyfriend teach you to drive. disaster always happens when you're trying to show off how good you are
