Today, while I was waiting to pull out of a parking space, my boyfriend decided it would be funny to put the car into reverse instead of drive while I was waiting for traffic to clear. I don't think the people who own the car behind me were laughing. Nor is my now ex-boyfriend. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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, I noticed I parked behind a boy I like. Trying to impress him with my driving skills, I ended up forgetting to put the car in reverse and rear-ended him. FML
Today, I was driving around a parking lot, looking for an empty spot. Someone was backing out a bit too quickly as I was about to pass by, so I honked to announce myself. The driver instead panicked and reversed into my front bumper. FML
Today, the person I was driving behind put their car in reverse and backed straight into me. I was then yelled at and told, "I had my reversing lights on! Why didn't you move?!" FML
Today, I stopped at a red light, when I noticed the car in front of me was in reverse. I honked at the driver, hoping he'd realize and place the car in drive. He thought the light turned green and immediately backed into me. FML
Today, at a restaurant, I noticed a really hot girl leaving with her friend. A few minutes later they came back, laughing uncontrollably, and announced that some moron forgot to put on their parking brake and the car was rolling into the full parking lot. It was my car. They watched me chase it. FML
Today, my boyfriend came to my work, at a drive thru, in my car, and then got mad at me because I wouldn't give him free food. In his anger, he put my car in reverse and backed out of line very quickly, only to smash into a paying customer. FML
Today, I pulled into a parking lot and waited for a car to back out so I could take their spot. The apparently batshit insane psychopath in the other car managed to completely overlook me waving him out, and backed straight into my car. FML
Today, my boyfriend, who doesn't have a license, backed up my car in a Taco Bell parking lot. Someone else was also backing up and smashed right into my car. If they ask to see the camera footage, they're going to see he was driving and not me. FML
Today, while in the drive-through for Taco Bell, I hit the car behind me after forgetting my car was in reverse. It was in reverse because I was worried the old lady in front of me was going to forget she was in reverse. She didn't. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

He deserved to be thrown in a lava pit, not the curb. He coulda killed someone! :/

He's an idiot....but doesn't your foot need to be on the brake before you can change the shift especially if it is in park...or the clutch if it's manual

"I was waiting for traffic to clear." Her foot was on the brake.

But shouldn't she have then tried to shift her gears from park to drive... Or was she in drive and he shifted it back up. In that case would she not have heard, or seen, the gear shift?

I do it to my friend all the time. I put it in neutral. Thing is, she must have stepped on it. No reason to do so. Letting go of the brake moves the car slowly and you'd feel it going back. She had to have stepped on it. And the people in back were honking, i bet, and she thought it meant go. Still, what a douche of a boyfriend for putting it in reverse.

This would be impossible in a manual transmission. And you must be an idiot, because I have a friend who does this to me and nothing bad ever happens. It's funny everytime.

Maybe he dumped her, because he didn't want to help pay for expenses due to the car?

59-she was waiting for traffic to clear. When she saw a break in traffic I'm sure she stepped on it to get in otherwise she'd be waiting all day

59, 125 - You guys are the reason I have to drive extra careful on the road. I think the IQ test needs to be part of the process in getting a license.

She might have still been in drive with her foot on the brake... He switched while she was looking away and when she saw a break in traffic, floored it and rammed the car behind her. Ok maybe she didn't floor it but you know what I mean.

Finally an FML where I don't have to endure 10x 'dump him'

I know. What an asshole, backing into a spot. I hate when douchebags do that. YDI.

Hope you aren't injured! That wasn't really funny of your now ex. :P
dylanmurre 4
Yeah cuz you know, your gonna get injured from a little fender bender......
WCARlover 35
Actually, 11, you very well could be injured from a "fender bender"...
lexa1love 16
Someone tapped me and set my airbag off last year. I could have easily broken my nose if I hadn't put my hand up.
Blacksabbath211 9
Woulda been better if he had tossed it in neutral:)
dylanmurre 4
I got read-ended pretty hard once.. That didn't hurt me at all... And I do demolition derbies and I have yet to get hurt.... Sooo yeah I'm pretty sure you wouldn't get injured. @41 your air bags are obviously defective. Mine didn't go off when I got rear ended.
dylanmurre 4
The dumb asses that don't wear a seatbelt deserve to eat a steering wheel.....
I_lost_the_game 25
Her airbags are defective? Yours didn't go off when you car got hit 'pretty hard'. Call me crazy, but aren't they supposed to go off in a situation like that?
doctorhook86 25
#82 says he got rear-ended pretty hard once and it didn't hurt him at all--he must've just had a fresh lube job. Based on his comments, #82 seems like he's probably been rear-ended many times...over and over again.

A little fender bender laid me up for a few days with muscle issues. I do have a pain disorder that I'm sure made it worse, but it did throw my back out. If you take a jolt just right, you can get injured.
CoconutOil 7
Getting rear ended by another guy while standing in a line doesn't count!

Finnick :)
siickman 7
I would have made him pay all the damages and blah blah and stuff but not dump him... Well then it comes down to if this is the first incident...if it is then i dont think you cared about each other if you broke up over an argument .. If this is the 2nd immature thing he has done then i applaud you for dumping him :)
mattorama 15
Somebody doesn't arbitrarily do something that immature, dangerous, and stupid out of nowhere. Why the heck would she want to stick around until he inevitably does something equally dumb?
DogsPaw 16
34- His "first" incident could have been both OP and her boyfriends life.
siickman 7
They wer in a lot... No one is gonna die... Just damages..jesus you guys act like it was gun point or something
downtime 13
136, If someone is so careless that they are happy to cause expensive damage to not only their girlfriends property but also the property of strangers over a bit of a joke then that person is stupid. There really is no two ways around that. Normal people generally don't want to be dating stupid people, so dumping him makes perfect sense. He seems to be missing a little frontal lobe development. Considering he was capable of this without a second thought, who is to say he isn't capable of worse?
doctorhook86 25
136 - You're right, it wasn't gunpoint...it was worse. Stupid drivers kill way more people than guns. The OP's bf would've hardly been more dangerous even if he was waving a gun around. A fatal accident can happen to anybody, even you. Don't **** with moving vehicles!

"R" is actually the racing gear. He just thought he'd speed things up a little, that's all :)
kooochris1995 14
No. R is for Radio. He was trying to turn the radio on.
SeaMen 3
R is recline...he Just wanted to lay back and Relax
zakkyzebra 11
R is for rectum... He was just implying he wanted to try something new
SliceOfCake 9
You're all wrong. R is for remember. He was just trying to reminisce all the great times they had.
domking1315 20
Is it time for a combo breaker?
SqueakyChipmunk 22
C is for cookie, and that's ok with me!
DynamicDave 11
Q is for quintessential, and thats the quintessential soon-to-be ex-boyfriend prank.
eiddam1234 4
Don't listen to any of them. R is for retard. He is a Retard for putting it in reverse... He is also a D. That stands for Dick....
childproofpizza 19
F is for friends who do stuff together

What an immature thing to do. I'm glad you dumped him.
SkoomaKi 28
All that for a joke? Well at least he's your ex now.
WCARlover 35
Wow...in glad you mentioned he's your ex now though, a lot of FMLs fail to tell us that
WCARlover 35
I meant I'm glad, not in sorry
dude1122332 9
Don't you hate that? We want the full story!
DocBastard 40
You can always claim they rear-ended you. Just hold your neck, claim you have whiplash, and sue! Oh wait, you mean you're not American? Never mind then.
snowwhite92 5
Love this!
ant1ion 12
What is your pic docbastard?
SLEinTN 7
It looks like a hip replacement gone bad.
DocBastard 40
It's a chronically-dislocated prosthetic hip.
I_lost_the_game 25
It looked like part of an ear phone to me with the bud. Obviously not...
pinkelephantz 2
You would, no matter what the front of their car is in your cars rear bumper. They "rear ended you".
Drew167 8
That's ******* immature.
ManInTheMachine 20
Like you posting a picture of yourself pointing at your almost-visible dick? Yeah, I'd say that's pretty immature.
asl_for_life 6
if that is really you. you're ******* hott.
asl_for_life 6
Dang I got moderated. hmm let's rephrase this so the douches don't moderate it again: you have a hecca nice body!
