Today, my dad took my phone away because I "had to be texting while driving in order to wreck my car." I was too ashamed to tell him that a huge bug flew into my face causing me to veer off the road and into a brick mailbox. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I wrecked my car because my mom texted me, telling me not to text and drive. FML
Today, my dad took a call while driving. He always yells and curses at people who talk on their cell while driving. I asked him to get off the phone because it's dangerous, and told him he's being a hypocrite. He shook his head at me and continued talking. Seconds later, we got into an accident. FML
Today, a bee flew into my car, I panicked, swerved off the road, and hit a mailbox. It was a metal keg filled with cement buried in the ground. Taking my father's advice, I fled the scene. Later, my mailman knocked on my door holding part of my bumper. He said, "Excuse me, I think you hit my mailbox this morning." FML
Today, a motorist yelled at me for texting and driving. I was too ashamed to admit that I'd been admiring the bogey I'd just picked from my nose. FML
Today, while on the road, my dad called twice before I pulled over and answered the phone. He first got mad at me for not answering, and then again later for "paying attention to my phone" while driving. FML
Today, I was using my dad's cell because I had broken mine. I was texting my boyfriend all day when my dad needed his phone back. I forgot to tell my boyfriend that my dad would be using the phone. My boyfriend then texted graphically what he wanted to do to my dad. FML
Today, I left my phone on the roof of my car after pumping gas. I drove off, and it wasn't until I heard a thud that I realized what had happened. Now my phone has a gash in the screen, and it's receiving angry texts from my girlfriend that I can't answer. FML
Today, I was driving home and got a phone call from my mom. She called to tell me that there was a cop at the bottom of our hill, and to be careful. I got a ticket for talking on my cell phone while driving. FML
Today, my dad let me use his phone. Five minutes later, he had my mom call it because he thought he'd lost it. FML
Today, I left my phone outside on the grass while I went inside to get a drink. I didn't expect my dad to run over it with the lawn mower. FML

There was really nothing to be ashamed about OP, we all make mistakes and you should be honest about it:).

I'd rather say that than give in to stereotypes

I'm sure if you tell the truth you dad will be more understanding and not see you as an irresponsible driver. And who knows you might get a laugh out of it.

Better he thinks your silly for freaking out than stupid & irresponsible for texting while driving. I'd have freaked too if a bug got in my face.

Hell... A bug flying in your face is one of the most acceptable, non-jackass reasons to have an accident. YDI

I live in a subdivision. All of the mailboxes are brick from the ground up. Same brick they use on the house. Its kind of cute actually...

I remember this one time my sister got into a car wreck, and she was too embarrassed to tell the real story, so she told everyone that a water bottle rolled under her break peddle. Everyone thought she was on her phone, but in reality, she was checking herself out in her rear view mirror. Lmao
