Today, I was driving down a dark country road with the windows down. Suddenly, a giant barn owl flew through my side-window and smacked into my head, causing me to drive into a ditch. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, as I was driving, a bird swooped down, right in front of my car. I didn't have enough time to react, and so I had to listen to my wife cry the rest of the way home. She kept talking about how it bounced off the windshield and how it probably had a family. FML
Today, I spent an hour and a half washing my car. As I was driving down the highway, a large bird flew over my car and accidentally dropped the dead animal he was about to have for dinner. It landed on my windshield. FML
Today, while driving my car near a farm, I hit a man on the side of the road. I started freaking out and got out of the car to help him. It was then that I found out that I'd hit a scarecrow. FML
Today, as I was driving home from work, a bird decided to commit suicide by flying in front of my car. The shock caused me to slam on the brakes, totaling three other cars in the process. FML
Today, I was driving around my campsite at dark in the middle of a forest. My father thought it would be funny to run up to my window, put his face against the glass and scream. I drove into a tree. FML
Today, while driving and singing, I noticed a large fly inside my car. I stopped singing so it wouldn't fly into my mouth. That didn't stop it from flying up my nose, causing me to swerve and drive into a ditch. FML
Today, I was standing around looking out the window at work when it became really dark and windy and started to pour. I watched a shopping cart fly across the parking lot thinking how funny it'd be if it hit someone's car. It hit mine. I need a new headlight. FML
Today, while driving home, I swerved to avoid turning a duck and her babies into roadkill. Another car was coming around a sharp bend at the time and swerved to avoid hitting me. In the end, we both ran our cars off the road, and he took out several ducks in the process. FML
Today, I found a dead bird on my windshield. Thinking I was clever, I turned on my windshield wipers to get the bird off. Unfortunately, the dead bird fell through my open window and onto my lap. FML
Today, I was driving my parrot home from the vet. As I was driving home, I decided to let her sit on my shoulder. Something scared her, and she started flapping in my face, causing me to crash my car into a tree. FML

Owls have better eyesight than humans when it's dark. Maybe it was saving you from something out there :)

At least it didn't cut to some long-ass cutscene when you ran into him like in Majora's Mask.

Who drives with the windows open at night?

A lot of people who like the way the wind feels in their face at midnight. I happen to be one of those people.

People not trying to fall asleep on the road.

I failed to realize that driving with your windows open at certain times was unacceptable.

Owls are amazingly resilient, and I'm sure it wasn't fatally injured. As long as there aren't any broken bones or internal injuries, birds in general bounce back pretty quickly.

One time, I rode in the passenger seat of a convertible and a pigeon flew into my mouth. Scarred for life.

What part of "dark country road" made you want to leave your window open? Those three words sound like they would be part of a sentence that would include the words "serial killer" or "alien abduction."

I lived on a dark country, and I had to run on it when I ran XC

Or faceless man in a black suit and tie with dark eerie tentacle pertruding from his back and abducting you by mind control.

What do you mean? I LOVE hanging out on dark country roads. It's the best place to find victims-- cough* *wheeze*--I mean, volunteers.
