Today, my wife screamed to stop the car in an intersection, so I slammed on the brakes. From the left, an SUV rammed full force into us. My wife is unharmed, but I now have a broken left arm and our car is totaled. On the bright side, she caught the Pokémon in the road. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my wife came home and said, "Before you go into the garage, let me tell you what happened…" She was stopped at a traffic light and when it turned green, she stepped on the gas, but the truck in front of her didn't. The grill was smashed and the car has a 3-inch hole in the bumper. FML
Today, I was in a car accident. After screaming at the woman for running into me, I got in my car and drove off. As I was driving away, I was staring her down when I ended up rear-ending the person in front of me. FML
Today, I was driving when a woman started crossing the street against the light at the upcoming intersection, so I slammed on the brakes and stopped short of hitting her. That's when she intentionally jumped onto my car and started screaming that I had "mowed her down". The cops believed her. FML
Today, I was T-boned at an intersection. My wife got pissed when I didn't immediately check on her, but rather the other driver. That other driver was my daughter. FML
Today, I was hit by a car speeding through an intersection after the light had already turned red. Still partly blacked out, I crawled onto the sidewalk and I sat down. The woman rolled down her car window and yelled, "Watch where you're going!" as she drove by. FML
Today, I got hit by a car while walking into the hospital to visit my wife, who had also gotten hit by a car. FML
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 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
Today, I was on my way to a Thanksgiving dinner, with my dog in her seat in the front of my car. On the entrance ramp to the highway, my rear wheels spun to the left, and then my car spun completely around and hit the guardrail. My car is totaled. I'm broke, but at least my dog wasn't hurt. FML
Today, I was driving in the left lane and was suddenly hit by a woman who was in the right lane. I ran off the road, taking out a fence and totaling my car. When the cops asked the woman what happened she responded, "My tom-tom told me to turn left." FML

Don’t blame Pokémon Go - I play on both my husband’s and I’s phones while he’s driving. I would *maybe* ask him to pull over or turn around to grab a Pokémon if it were incredibly important to the game, but never in a MILLION YEARS would I endanger lives for a Pokémon. You and your wife need to have a serious talk. A very, very serious talk.

For the people saying he deserves it, if someone screams, and I mean literally screams like it's life or death, in the car for me to stop, I'm going to hit the brakes because maybe they see something that's about to go wrong that I didn't notice.

Sorry but no. As the driver you are responsible to know what is going around you. The passenger should not be screaming to stop the car for any reason whatsoever if you are vigilant and have been keeping your eyes on the road. By all means, scream at me if I'm busy texting and driving and missed something because I'm an inconsiderate driver and like putting people's lives in danger, but don't scream and expect me to react when there is 0 danger around. Grow up.

Hate to say it, but if I heard a scream then I sure as hell will stop. The incident might not be hurt n the road but on the car like a spider or snake (I’m in Australia$

I feel so angry at your wife reading this. Why the hell would you endanger someone else's life for the sake of a game? She obviously has a serious problem, she needs to get counselling if she can't even prioritise her own life or the life of her partner over a simple game. Honestly, I don't blame the game, but the people who play it.

I play Pokémon Go still and I would never try to something so asinine on a busy road like that. You can more than likely always grab it at a later date in those scenarios. The least she could have done was tell you to pull to the side of the road or to get off at the next exit and turn back, I’m sorry OP.

You need to have a talk with your wife about priorities. There is no game in the world that's worth endangering someone's life over. If this happens again, I would seriously consider divorce.

Good luck explaining that to your insurance company lol. I really dont get the craze and its sudden popularity that makes people put themselves in harms way, it wasnt "cool" when i played it in high school.

This is why I pay no attention to back seat drivers lol. I don't react to those kind of comments - I just pay attention to the road and act accordingly.

You and your wife need a serious talk. She should not be shouting to stop when you are driving and concentrating. If I was in your position I’d tell her to leave her phone in her bag if she can not control herself when you are driving.

How did a car drive full force into your driver's side just because you stopped in an intersection? Were they making a left & didn't slow down for the turn? Did they run a light/stop sign?
