Today, after working for Uber for a few weeks I realized that my driver rating was dropping. After looking into it, one of the 1-star ratings claimed "mechanical problems". The description of the reason, "He drives a Ford." FML

Autumn: Leaves and Laughter
When the leaves fall, the laughter rises. Discover autumn stories as crisp as dried leaves!
Today, I dropped off my visibly-upset Uber passengers off at a funeral. I absentmindedly said, “Good luck, have fun!” as they got out. Needless to say, I got my first 1-star rating today. FML
Today, I was fired for not having a reliable mode of transportation. I’ve only had to take the bus recently because three days ago, my boss’s son was messing around in the parking garage, lost control, and totaled my car. FML
Today, I took my car into the shop to get a minor problem fixed. I left several hours later, without my car. Why? The mechanic crashed it while out on a test drive to make sure he'd fixed the problem. FML
Today, I had to endure an awful taxi ride. He got me to my destination perfectly and on time, but spewed a racist rant about how, "all Indians are scammers" and how, "the Chinese should get out" the entire time. Then the taxi app had the audacity to ask for a rating. 5 stars? I don't think so. FML
Today, I was getting into a Uber after a long day at work. I opened the door, sat down, and started venting to the driver about my horrible day. Five minutes in, I realized I had climbed into a random stranger’s car. He didn’t even tell me; he just let me complain. FML
Today, as I was driving with my boyfriend, he pointed out what a crappy car I drive. About how the locks don't work, the vents are broken, the windshield wipers are busted, my headlights aren't bright, and a hubcap is missing. Then he said I’m a good match for my car, 'cos we have the same “personality". FML
Today, I test-drove a customer’s car to investigate a strange noise. I heard the exact clunk she'd described. It was actually a wrench I’d left under the hood sliding around and hitting things. I had to return and sheepishly explain that the problem was entirely my fault. FML
Today, my car is so unreliable that I received a letter saying that it had been kicked out of the American Automobile Association. FML
Today, I took a car out for a test drive to investigate a mysterious clunking noise. I heard the exact sound the customer had described, and then realized a wrench had been left on top of the engine and had slipped down and got caught near the battery. I had to come back and explain that the issue had been a skill issue. FML
Today, after replacing several components on my new used car, I realized that the reason it wasn't getting the gas mileage it was supposed to because my coworkers take turns siphoning my gas while I work. FML

They're seriously judging you over the car you drive? Talk about biting the hand that feeds you.

I feel you OP, and I've received similar complaints. Why do people take an issue with my Radio Flyer brand vehicle?! I'm a great puller and make REALLY good engine noises!

Some people are just rude. I hear all these stories on the news, but we use Uber all the time and drivers have been really nice. Hope Karma gets them at their job, thanks for getting their ungrateful ass safe to their destination.

I'm all honesty I mean can you blame them? it is a Ford. I wouldn't even get in the car myself. For real though that's funny as ****! ????

Good, when I'm driving by in my Ford Ranger, as you're sitting on the side of the road, with a tool box full of tools that might be able to get you on your way again I'll just drive on by because you want nothing to do with a Ford.

I have the 2016 Ford Fusion Titanium and it's the best car I've ever had. I'll take it over a Chevy any day. My husband didn't like Ford for a long time until we bought this one, they've changed a lot. You can slam on them all you want, if you haven't been in one of the new ones you have no idea how much they've changed.

I'll take my 78 Ford F250 any day. It can sit for over a year and when I need to some heavy hauling I just put a battery in it and go. I've hauled over 2 ton US in one load in the bed.
