Branching out

By Anonymous - 08/12/2012 09:28 - Australia - Weston

Today, I thought it would be nice to park my new car under a big, shady oak tree to prevent it from heating up in the sun. The big, shady oak tree thought it would be nice to shed a massive branch on top of my new car. FML

Today was my first day at my new job of being an oak tree. I dropped a branch on someone's new car. FML

It's December. How hot is it really gonna get?

It's summer in Australia....which is where the FML is from. Edit: #2 beat me to it.

My app doesn't show me where the FML is from. Once again I apologize.

It was about 30-40 degrees celsius (86-104 fahrenheit) the last 2 weeks. That's how hot it gets in December here. Even hotter actually because Summer has only just started.

I know this sounds like a really stupid question, but I'm still curious, 11, so you guys celebrate Christmas in summer then? When it's all hot and everything?

yeah 29, they do. Christmas is Dec. 25th regardless.

Yeah, I feel really stupid about posting that first comment. I think it's just that I've always imagined Christmas being celebrated when it's all cold, never in the heat. Please excuse me, everyone.

Perspective is a crazy part of being human. And I love it. I've grown so much by changing my perspective on things.

In the southern hemisphere there winter is at the same time as our summer and vice versa, it's funny how many people don't know/realise this. Xxx

We don't all have the same app, dumbass.

This year is my first Christmas in Australia (from NY, USA) and it does not feel the same : /

It doesn't feel the same because it isn't what you are use too. Just like an Australian would think it feels different if it is snowing. And asking if they celebrate Christmas in the summer is a stupid question.

Wow, 74, thank you for clearing that up. If it weren't for you I would have never figured out WHY it didn't feel the same... And, no question is stupid. He was brave enough to ask.

Since they live in Australia, meaning its summer there, it'll probably get pretty damn hot.

be glad you weren't in the car when it fell! :)

At least the whole tree didn't fall on it.Hopefully insurance will cover it.

At least this...At least that..... People are always saying that. At least a T-Rex didn't come and eat it then kicked the rest of it into the sea.

At least T-Rex's are extinct so that won't happen...

Atleast T-Rex's are epic and even though this conversation was a waste of time, atleast it was about T-Rex.

Insurance will only pay what the car is worth at the moment if it is completely totaled.

Depends on the type of insurance the OP has. There are policies out there that will replace your car with one that is one year newer than the totaled out car. In America of course, have no idea what type of insurance policies you can get in Australia

Did you try calling Nationwide for a shiny new car?

I don't think Nationwide covers damage caused by Treebeard.

Like a good neighbour, State Farm is there.. With a brand new caaaaar.. :)

It would've been funnier if instead of Bob Barker, they had Xibit bring some ridiculous thing and say "check out yo BRAN NEW RIIIDE!"

Nationwide IS on your side, of course.

Does Nationwide cover Mayhem? Might wanna try Allstate, you'd be in better hands.

Nation wide doesn't cover damage sustained in Australia on Australian registered vehicles.

Well if it is that hot, the tree was just being generous and thought you needed a sun roof and tried to make you one.
