Today, while I was working replacing a windshield, some jerk off hit my truck. A truck carrying 2k in glass, including the windshield I was about to install. The driver gets out and says, "Sorry man, I had to text my girlfriend." FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, for the second time this week, a jerk in a big truck let a big rock fly out of their uncovered back and damaged my windshield. Both times the cops refused to do anything and I can't afford to fix it as I was demoted at work. FML
Today, the driver's side window of my car was busted, and inside was a note that said, "Sorry, thought this was my car." FML
Today, I just got my windshield fixed due to a rock hitting it off the highway. Just one hour later on my way home, a large stick flew off the back of a landscaping truck. My windshield is cracked again. FML.
Today, I parked my truck next to a rather large SUV at school, went to class for 8 hours straight, came back and found my passenger side door crumpled from where they had backed out and hit it. They left a note on my window that said, "Sorry about your truck, but I don't have insurance." FML
Today, I was stopped behind a pickup truck filled with junk. I told my friend that the person should have secured the junk better, since it looked like it would fall off any minute. My friend assured me it wouldn't. Right after she said that, a large piece of plywood fell off and hit my windshield. FML
Today, while driving into work, a guy cut me off and I yelled some nasty things out of my window at him. He heard me, followed me to work, took a baseball bat out and then chased me into the office. He also smashed my windshield on his way out. FML
Today, I accidentally hit someone's car while in the supermarket car park. I left a note, went shopping, and when I came back my windows were shattered, my tires were slashed, and "FUCK YOU" was written on my windshield. FML
Today, while driving to a client's home, I received a text. Since I loathe those who text and drive, I pulled into a convenience store's parking lot. While I was texting, a car sped into the lot, rear-ending my car. FML
Today, the snowplow truck backed into my truck. The window got smashed out, and the door is wrecked. The guy was a scumbag and just left. I didn’t realize he'd hit the truck until hours later. So there’s one inch of snow inside my truck, not to mention that it isn’t driveable. FML
Today, I was driving to work, following my girlfriend's car. I looked down to change the radio station and felt a large bump. I rear-ended my girlfriend. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I hope you made him pay for the loss. That really sucks.

Ugh, no excuses for texting while driving. Dumbass.

I hope his insurance company (if he has one) pays you and then drops him!
bodyguerdson 16
I'm fairly certain he has insurance since it is illegal in manitba Canada to drive without insurance
Ilmoran 20
It's illegal in various places. It doesn't actually stop them.

You should say, "Sorry man I just have to call the cops."
InfiniteSunshine 32
He actually probably did. This is Canada and if the crash is over $1000 dollars in damage, which sound like it was, it is an obligation to call them. On top of that, it would just be a good call in this case. The guy clearly admitted to being at fault, meaning he now has to pay for all of it, and he'll get a big fine and penalties on his license for distracted driving.

I would have punched him square in the face to be honest.

Believe it or not about 90% of all the wrecks I get called to are from people who were on their damn phone. Its getting worse every year....and its not always younger kids.

MidnaLink 35
Oh, like Canada's never had it's fair share of lawsuits. I'd really like to see this one on TV.
leogachi 15
@16 The only reason this shouldn't result in a lawsuit is if his insurance company (if he has one) is willing to pay for the damage.

"Had to." You know what else he had to do? Crash into a ditch because he was dumb enough to text while driving.

Sorry but impolite Canadians dont exist.
Kitagora 9
Oh yes they do. Try working retail in Erie Pa and you find that out real quick. (They literally come here in buses to shop because it's cheaper thanks to lower or no sales tax.)
brezzyanna 17
It's just cheaper in general there. Even if they had the same taxes, it would still be cheaper
Ilmoran 20
Well, he did say sorry, so he was being polite. What he wasn't being was responsible.
InfiniteSunshine 32
Oh that's not true. I find this is especially when driving, we can be real assholes on the road.
jebron 13
This is why using your phone whilst driving is an offence in the UK
MandieL 27
It is in Canada too, well at least where I am in Canada it is. Doesn't stop people from doing it though :(

I've had my teachers tell us it's okay to text and drive because "it's no big deal, you just pay the fine". Idiots.
MidnaLink 35
Your teachers should be shot for that way of thinking.
kittykat1501 31
in the US, too
jmagd781 16
well if you're from Alberta it's a $1000 fine now. so if you're teacher is able to afford that and willing to pay he's a real moron. I'd rather go on a trip with that type of money.
InfiniteSunshine 32
Oh we definitely have them in Canada too. This is Manitoba, which has the stiffest "distracted driving law." You get 5 points off your license if caught, the less points you have, the higher the premium you have to pay in order to keep your license to drive. This means if you already have lots of "demerits," as we call them, you could have to pay $100-$3500 a year just for the ability to drive, or you can get your license taken away altogether. You also get a fine on the ticket, usually about $200.

#30, that would make me irate! It's not just fines, you can kill someone!

With so much broken glass he's lucky you didn't stab him. Sorry OP
