Today, I went to the military base to save $10 on a haircut. On the way out the gate, the glare of the sun blocked my view of a star barrier. Instead of saving $10 on a haircut I now owe a $500 deductible to fix my car. FML
I agree, your life sucks (11300) - you totally deserved it (4694)

I don't think this is a "YDI for being cheap" since we all like to save (at least those of us who HAVE started trying to save).
This is a "YDI for being stupid". If you can't see while driving, stop. That could have easily been a person regardless of circumstances.
Also, it's 'now' not 'know'.
I don't think you can complain about being uptight when you won't say GOD
Unless you're being ironic.

Irony: the use of words to convey a meaning that is the opposite of its literal meaning: the irony of her reply, “How nice!” when I said I had to work all weekend.
::eyeroll:: Oh no, it's the irony police. Ironic means doing something that one would not expect. For example, in this situation, saying "Gosh!" while calling someone uptight: you would not expect a laid-back person to say "Gosh!", so they are likely saying it ironically.
Anyway, if you know what someone means, then language has served its purpose. Words and meanings change and chastising someone for using a word in a way you don't like has no benefit and makes you look arrogant at best.

if you're trying to save money, you should start remembering that using your car costs money, too (not just if you have an accident).
Well, possibly if you had not gotten that hair cut, it would have been your long scraggly hair blocking your view instead of the glare of the sun. :]
At least now, you have a stylin' new 'do!

Did you get a shave? lol. While this does suck a lot I say fyl and ydi. Fyl cause you can't spell and ydi for driving when you couldn't see to well.
Common sense would dictate that you drive with a blindfold on to protect your eyes from the glare. Stupid people these days...

Am I the only one who's never heard of a star barrier before? Makes it hard to tell just how much he deserved it when I can't tell if he crashed into something small or more like a wall.

This is what you get for not sleeping with your military base.

I was a witness. It was very unfortunate.
It's true though, he was smiling as he was gasping for air.

Dude, the barriers aren't that hard to see, I drive through them every day, sometimes with full glare. YDI for trying to take advantage of privileges you haven't earned.

Yeah, because I'm in Afghanistan and you're not? When does the chairforce deploy? Learn to use english better, that way you don't sound like you're a cheap scumbag.

YDI those barriers are at every military post in the world. If your military you would know that, if your not why use our benefits?
Why the fuck would you even do it, every post I've been too, it's cheaper, or the same price off post. They usually do a better job too. Especially at Fort Hood... You're probably some fucking douche bag PX Ranger.

this is probably fake. don't army haircuts cost a ton of $ unless ur IN the army??

what, no one is going to say "Damn male drivers?"
Their high frequency of stupid wrecks like this is why they have to pay more for car insurance than women drivers do
There's a lot of people here who have no freakin idea what they're talking about. How does he not deserve the benefits? If he can get on base that means he is 1) a military member, 2) a military member's dependent, or 3) former military. Anyone else needs a military sponsor and a pass that their sponsor must get for them from the visitor's center. They don't just let anyone on base for a haircut. I can see how that goes:
"Let me see your CAC card."
"I don't have one. I'm only here for a cheap haircut."
"Oh. Go right in, sir. Oh, but you should know that since you're not military your haircut will cost $3,000."
Morons.
