Never flip flop and drive

By Alyce - 09/10/2020 08:10 - United States - Lewistown

Today, I was supposed to deliver my S/O's keys to the garage, where he got his car fixed after a minor accident. I pulled out of my alley, only to have my flip flop catch on my accelerator, causing me to hit another car passing by. FML

Today, I was running late for work. As I hurried out the door, I managed to trip over my own feet, fall off the front porch, and key my new car. FML

Today, I was pulling in to my work parking lot gate, accidentally hit the accelerator instead of the brake pedal, ran through the gate arm. FML

Today, while arguing with my boyfriend about how I wasn't a bad driver and could parallel park, I thought it would be easier to just let him do it. Unfortunately, while getting out of the car to switch seats, I forgot to take the car out of drive and it ran into the car in front of us. He was right. FML

Today, a guy's car broke down in my street, so I helped him push it into my driveway, checked his car out, and gave it a jump start. He thanked me, then as he went to pull out, he instead smashed straight into my car. FML

Today, I sneaked out of work early. I tripped over my own feet while walking up to my car. As I fell, I managed to hit the panic button on my car keys, setting off my car alarm while I lay flat on the ground in the parking lot. FML

Too late

Today, I was at my friend's house. It was dark and downpouring so I couldn't see as I was backing out of his driveway. I made it out, but then my phone went off, scaring me, and I accidentally hit the gas pedal, hitting his neighbor's parked car. Turns out he called to warn me to watch out for it. FML

Today, after double-checking to make sure the garage door was completely open, I backed my car into it. FML

Today, accustomed to dealing with my old car's faulty accelerator, I pressed the pedal way too hard in my new car and crashed into a pillar, totaling the engine, and giving myself a concussion. I could still see the dealership down the street. FML

Today, the day after I bragged about never having a car accident in my life, I mistakenly put my car into Drive instead of Reverse and crashed into my own house. FML

You absolutely deserve it. Never wear flip flops while driving for this exact reason.

I thought it was pretty damn obvious you don't wear flip flops while driving. You're better off with bare feet.

That's quite a flip-flop. One minute the car is fine, next one it's smashed. You must have gone to Lindsay Graham Driving School.

Many states have laws against driving in flip-flops. Now you know why.

Wearing flip flops while driving is illegal in Australia for this exact reason

Actually it isn't illegal, at least not in NSW. Not specifically, anyway. There are no specific laws about the type of footwear or lack thereof you can wear while driving However, if you did have an accident and it could be proved your inappropriate footwear was the cause, you can cop an offence under "driving without proper control of a vehicle".

This is the most moronic driving-related FML I've read since that girl who complained about her boyfriend crashing into a tree while she gave him "road head". If you do stupid things, you deserve to suffer the consequences. Don't drive while wearing footwear that easily slips off, don't blow the driver while the car is in motion, and stop renewing The Masked Singer.
