Today, a bee flew in my car so I swerved off the road and hit a mailbox. It was a metal keg filled with cement buried in the ground. Taking my father's advice I fled the scene. Later my mailman knocked on my door holding part of my bumper. He said "Excuse me, I think you hit my mailbox this morning." FML

OP: You're a fucking idiot, so it was not surprise to me that you came from Texas.

what kind of shit head father do you have? who gives their kids advise like that? YDI for sure, your a fucking RETARD
OP...ever heard of the bee sting syndrome? basically, since most people have only been stung by bees when they were kids, it gets stuck in their heads that its gonna hurt WAAAAAY worst than it actually does...next time dont be such a pussy and just let it sting you, you'll be suprised

I don't care if you're allergic to bees. There are better ways of avoiding being stung than swerving your car into the mailbox. Furthermore, you hit the mailbox and fled the scene with complete disregard for the owner of the mailbox.
1. You're a horrible driver.
2. You're a horrible person.
Imagine if this was on a different street with more traffic. You could have hit a pedestrian or another vehicle.
a Farenheit thermometer? Or the thermometer on an oven?

your father's a dumbass for giving advice like that. and you're a dumbass for taking it.

you swerved out of the way of a bee?? you know it would slide out the way and not be harmed if you hit it dont you? thats how they avoid rain drops
#8 - On 11/11/2009 at 2:32pm by polico_wolf
why would you swerve out the way of something that hit your car
#36 - On 11/11/2009 at 3:42pm by polico_wolf
she didn't say out of the way of the bee, she just said she swerved off the road. She is probably afraid of bees, and didn't want to get stung, so she became distracted. She didn't do it to spare the bee's life.
if you leave bees alone they won't bother you. trying something as drastic as crashing made the bee more scared and more likely to sting her.
She didn't TRY to crash. If this is even real, she probably freaked out and wasn't thinking rationally.

If it was filled with cement I don't see how it'd be an issue...Ooooh you meant concrete, alright yea that would do some damage.
Cement is a componet of concrete.
To make concrete, you mix cement with aggregate (gravel, sand, ash, etc.), water and maybe some chemicals.
Ya know, even if it was actually cement, it would still do damage, right? Maybe you have never seen it, but I have seen a car drive through several bags of cement that fell onto the interstate before and totaled their car as a result. No, cement isn't the same as concrete, technically speaking, but it's still something that would damage your car if you drove through it.
Yea, I was just trying to make a point, concrete is on average 900kg/m^3 more dense than cement, depending upon aggregate content.
ok ready. a bee flew into her car. swerving the car would not help avoid hitting a bee inside the car. but if something is in your car you may be distracted and swerve.
edit this was for #8 stupid fml site...

The words "fled the scene" make this a YDI. You should have stuck around and taken responsibility. Your dad's a douche.
lol way to nail those female stereotypes...
- scared by bee
- crashed car
- proceeded to flee
- rush home and post it to website
agree. Totally the OP's fault. You shouldn't take bad advice... especially really bad advice
(intended as reply to 16)
Well, your parents made a severe error in procreating, but you can control the damage by not passing on the genes. The world isn't ready for more of you.
#23 - On 11/11/2009 at 3:14pm by Nakedsquirrel
Thanks for making Texas proud! When you report such idiotic behavior, can't you just SAY you are from Oklahoma or Arkansas or something? You know, the eyes of Texas are upon you all the livelong day.
If you are going to flee the scene, you might want to consider taking the evidence with you.
I could click YDI for just about every sentence there.

#28 - On 11/11/2009 at 3:22pm by lostfaithinpppl
That's called a hit and run, and if you had a little common sense you would've known better. But I don't think you do, seeing as you swerved off the road because you were scared of a bee. :|
OP, why in the hell would you take your father's advice? He's an idiot! YDI big time...
#32 - On 11/11/2009 at 3:30pm by ProtoBuster_1
A bee flies into your car. Your survival tactic is to swerve off the road and into a mailbox. What the hell is that supposed to do? The bee's going to say, "Oh my god, this person is a TERRIBLE driver! I'd better get the hell out of here!" ? Geesh. It's a fucking bee. The worst it will do is sting you. Oh, ow. Owie ow ow. Running off the road can kill you.
If I were a bee, that's what I would think! Seriously though, some people are allergic (though I doubt the OP is, she would have mentioned it)
I almost had an accident once because a spider was crawling on the ceiling of my car while i was driving. At the time I had a hugh spider fear and when I saw it, I swerved a bunch till I could pull off the road. No other cars were on the road or I probably would have hit someone. It all happened in about the space of 5 seconds.
The only thing I can think of, of why the Op left the scene is that since the mail box was made out of cement then there was no damage to it from her car.
But still, if she hit hard enough to dislodge part of the bumper then why the hell wouldnt she get out to even check and see if there was damage. Very YDI
Dude, #33, she was probably trying to like swat it or get it out or something, and either a) took both hands off the wheel b) stopped looking at the road c) probably stepped on the gas to kind of push herself away from the bee or d) all of the above.
And the OP shouldn't post an FML, she should be grateful because she didn't get arrested, it was unbelievably stupid for her to flee the scene of an accident, no matter what her dad says (mine says that NASCAR is the greatest sport on Earth. Yeah fucking right) . Seriously, if this is true, this is one of the stupidest FMLs ever to have taken place. The OP deserves everything that comes to her.
Because, we are the Master Race, of course.
(of course, before all you uppity self-righteous douchebags start calling me a nazi, it was a joke. I'm superior to everybody, including other German descended people.)
#113 - On 11/19/2009 at 5:11pm by _THE_MASTER_
stop with the stereotypes about women. men as bad drivers as women are.
#42 - On 11/11/2009 at 4:16pm by blackberry1993
Men tend to have more accidents than women, but most of them are caused by aggressive driving. Women have far more accidents caused by raw stupidity.
How does it feel to be a living, breathing, driving stereotype?
I hope you get arrested for leaving the scene -- and being a dumbass.
#43 - On 11/11/2009 at 4:20pm by ozymandias
So I assume that your mailman lives in your neighborhood? Didd he see you hit it or did he just carry the piece of bumper around till he saw your car? Either way thats still weird and you OP, still deserve it many times over....
The OP totally deserves it, for all the reasons above. But for those who make fun of woman drivers... they are half right. Women do have more car accidents than men. BUT Men KILL many more people with their cars than women. I'd rather be a bad driver than a killer (although I'm neither).
#46 - On 11/11/2009 at 5:03pm by margie4peace
What a coincidence that it was the mailmans mailbox! Wonder does he collect his own mail. At least you got your bumper back.
So you chose to crash your car because a tiny INSECT flew in your car? I'm a woman and I'm appalled by stereotypical female behavior when it comes to crap like this just because I can't believe how true it often is. Someone should revoke your license for being such an idiot.
It's a fucking bee... Unless you are allergic, the worst that could happen is that it eould sting you and most likely die... If you had simply remained calm, pulled over, and rolled down your windows, the fucking mailman wouldn't have brought part of your car to your house.
#55 - On 11/11/2009 at 6:00pm by larcenousturco
A bee flies inside your car, so you swerve into a mailbox?.... hhmmm
#63 - On 11/11/2009 at 7:46pm by eoghanface
You and your father are goddamned morons. Selfish goddamned morons. I certainly hope that Texas is a state where leaving the scene is a license-revoking offense, although I won't hold my breath on that one. It's such an epic fail that you both think it's okay to go around being inattentive and destructive, and that you feel you should be able to get away with it. I hope someone damages your house or car someday, then runs off like an asshole. I doubt you'll think it's so cute or that they're entitled to freedom from consequences then. YDI ten times over.
#65 - On 11/11/2009 at 8:05pm by pope_suburban
If your father told to jump off a bridge would you do that too? Stop using your father's stupid advice as an excuse for what you did. Accept the fact that the decision was yours to make, and you made a bad one.
#66 - On 11/11/2009 at 8:17pm by computerpete
When you get in a car accident, you DO NOT flee the scene... You're legally supposed to wait for authorities to arrive
#68 - On 11/11/2009 at 8:27pm by menschmaschine5
Well women may be overall worse drivers than men.. but men murder, rape, and rob waaay more than women...
nuff said. bitchez.
#76 - On 11/11/2009 at 10:11pm by PonPonPattaPon
are you seriously that scared of a bee? if you dont bother them they wont bother you
#77 - On 11/11/2009 at 10:20pm by ApolloandDixie
OP I cant understand how you can be so stupid. Would you flee the scene too if that had been a person rather than a mailbox that you had hit? Really? Come on grow some brains and stop blaming other people for your actions.
#78 - On 11/11/2009 at 11:10pm by Reality_bites
Once a bee flew in my car. Irritating, it was. When I came to a Stop sign that wasn't busy, I shooed it out. OH IT WAS SO DIFFICULT TO AVOID COMPLETELY SHITFITTING AND-- oh wait no it wasn't.
Also, fleeing? Are you serious? Cars have a number of identifying bits on it, not to mention your stuff's in there.
OP, you are one dumb ass broad.
Also your father is also fucking retarded.
#79 - On 11/11/2009 at 11:11pm by DameGreyWulf
um... get your tubes tied, you stupid cunt. you definitely shouldn't propagate your bloodline. also, tell your dad to get a vasectomy. also, this is another example of making yourself a stereotype. y'know, cause you're a terrible driver and are also a woman. you disgrace all women and further that stereotype. luckily, I am a man, so my extra appendage gives me an uncanny ability to have some common sense and, oh, i don't know, slow the car down, put it in park, roll down all the windows, open the sunroof(if i have one) and let the bee fly out. then, go about my merry way, without crashing into a mailbox and fleeing the scene leaving a piece of my bumper behind. your dad is a complete retard, and so are you, and you both need to go die in a fire.
#81 - On 11/12/2009 at 12:14am by _THE_MASTER_
on a completely related note, I hope you get swine flu.
#112 - On 11/19/2009 at 5:09pm by _THE_MASTER_
That's because you'd bone ANYTHING with a vagina that would let you. And probably a few things without vaginas too, IF they'd let you. Unfortunately for you, they never will :(
#85 - On 11/12/2009 at 3:14am by UsernameHere_
If you thought it was bad before, wait until see how much "better" it is now that you face hit-and-run charges as well. BTW, your father is a moron, and you're a fool for listening to him.
#84 - On 11/12/2009 at 1:38am by blastvortex
Once again, a woman driver causes a traffic crash because of a tiny insect. Congratulations on re-enforcing a stereotype.
"Taking my fathers advice i fled the scene!" Wtf type of advice is that...??
#88 - On 11/12/2009 at 9:05am by Danny_Boii
hit-and-run assholes like you piss me off to no end, so it makes me happy to no end to know that at least one of you pricks finally got caught. Maybe your dad should have actually been a man in life, and told you to take responsibility for your actions.
#89 - On 11/12/2009 at 11:23am by Nemephosis
you are either a liar, a gigantic pussy, or the biggest coward ever.
#90 - On 11/12/2009 at 11:23am by Subjectzero
ok, mandatory restatement of everything everyone said before me, except the women driver parts.
but also - you're an idiot for fleeing the scene and leaving your bumper behind.
#91 - On 11/12/2009 at 12:55pm by concealedhavoc
your Dad told you to flee the scene?? And you thought that was good advice? wow, your family is a special kind of stupid
#93 - On 11/12/2009 at 1:34pm by starzchick
So, when a bee got into your car you swerved into a mailbox, then decided to cancel out any insurance to cover damages by running away? and still getting caught? your IQ might just be lower than your sperm count.
Okay so how exactly is swerving going to help you avoid the bee?
Idiots these days...
#98 - On 11/12/2009 at 6:36pm by youfaililaugh
It was likely more of a panic move, rather than to avoid the bee. If I see a bee flying close to my arm or any bare skin, I instincively jump aside very quickly. Of course, I would never do that while driving a car, but there are some people out there...
Leave it to the mailman to have a tank of a mailbox. He's probably seen so many knocked over he tried to make one impervious to such things...
A bee flew in the window so you swerve into the mailbox? You're lucky nobody was on the sidewalk you dumb bitch
you are the biggest fucking idiot in the world. who cares that a fucking bee flew into you car??? second why the fuck would you flip out about it, only pissing off the bee and making it more likely to sting you, and third, when you go to pull you car over from the road (esspevially for pointless readons like this) slow down first so you dont hit a fucking stationary object like a dumbass. fail x3!!!! YDI!!!!! fucking idiot.
There's obviously something wrong with your father. You don't ever flee the scene of an accident, regardless of how minor it is. It is a crime. Had the accident been a bit more serious, you could've possibly faced criminal charges. That might just be the most idiotic piece of advice I've ever heard, and YDI for listening to it.
#108 - On 11/15/2009 at 1:05am by zachmassacre
Hurrah, you got caught. Your dad is a jerk, and so are you for fleeing the scene. What kind of good advice is it to flee the scene? Never reproduce. Oooo, a bee flew into the car. Big fucking deal. You do not lose control while driving.
NEXT TIME YOU SHOULD RUN SOMEBODY OVER TO AVOID GETTING STUNG
