Today, I was sitting shotgun in the car. A huge bug came inside, and everyone began to freak out so naturally I began to swat at it. I got the fly, but I also cracked the windshield. I paid $229 to kill a bug. FML

College Life
Packed lecture halls, a sketchy roommate and frat parties: welcome to college, the real thing.
Today, about to fall asleep, a bug started buzzing behind the screen to my window. Losing my sanity, I punched the screen, forgetting all about the glass. I now have a cracked window and one still annoying bug. FML
Today, as I was driving, a massive cockroach clicked its way across my windshield. I pulled over to fling it out the window, but it spread its wings and flew around like a hook-armed stabbing machine. I lost it in the dark car and now I can't find it. It's going to be a long drive home. FML
Today, I ruined my computer screen trying to kill a fly. FML
Today, while I was eating, a fly kept pissing me off. After three minutes of it buzzing around, I caught it and killed it. Then, without realizing it, I smeared its guts all over the front of my shirt. FML
Today, as I was hanging washing out in the sun, a huge cicada flew into my face and somehow got behind my glasses. I screamed and ripped them off and ran away. I came back to a broken pair of VERY expensive glasses. FML
Today, I thought it would be funny to pee on a small bug in the toilet. A much larger bug thought it would be funny to fly into my eye while I was doing this. FML
Today, while I was relaxing outside drinking a beer after a long day, a moth decided to fly right into my ear canal. I instinctively threw my hand up to swat it out. With the same hand holding the beer. I soaked the side of my face and down my ear. At least I got the bug out. FML
Today, I noticed an extremely large bug buzzing around my room. After several attempts, I stomped on it with my shoe. I was trying to get a closer look at my victory when it flew into my nostril. Turns out it was just playing dead. FML
Today, I was taking a break in my work truck when I saw a huge swarm of bees flying my way. I have a hand crank window so I started cranking it up as fast as I could and the knob snapped off before it closed and I got stung by the whole swarm before I could get out. FML
Today, I spent an hour and a half washing my car. As I was driving down the highway, a large bird flew over my car and accidentally dropped the dead animal he was about to have for dinner. It landed on my windshield. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Either this is a fake, or your friend was using you to get a new windshield. There had to have been a weak point to make it break.

I call bullshit. I live in a pretty bad area, and Ive seen people go at car windshields with stones and theres only been chips. A guy took a good whack at a teachers car at school once, with a baseball bat, and got only a decent fracture. Windshields are designed to take the wieght of a 5 lb impact @ 30mph or more! You do the math but thats about a ton of force or more. But even still - What the ****? 229 is hella cheap for a windshield, so dont complain. YDI.

It's a little bit different when the force comes from the inside of the car. Also notice that he didn't say he shattered the thing, only that he cracked it.

There's two possibilities here: 1. This story is bull shit, no one swatting at a bug could crack a windshield, unless: 2. You were swatting it with a sledgehammer.

Dude this is absolutely true... My friend wrote this and I saw the crack in the windshield. I have no idea how he was able to hit it that hard with just his hand, but still, it really happened. Poor kevkev.

I know it sounds absurd, but I have been in a friend's pickup when someone did this, and the same thing happened. The windshield spider-web cracked across the entire thing. Turns out, it was a faulty windshield. Better to find out this way then while hitting something! But, it's possible. Although, as I told my friend... next time? Roll down a window! It will go back out on its own. So, if they had a similarly weak windshield, it's possible.

Were you swatting at it with a hammer? If not, I find this hard to believe.

When you said you were sitting shotgun, you meant you HAD a shotgun, right? There's no way you can break the glass swatting. I'd even believe punching, some guys are strong enough, but swatting is just bullshit.

Taped tennis shoe against a picture window to kill a fly. I cracked the window, missed the fly. While driving 55 mph, a very large rock was bouncing on the road right at my car. It hit the hud of the car and bounced into my windshield right in line with my face. It did not brake!!! Same car, I was mad drunk and, hit the same windshield with just a light jab with a ring on finger, cracked it.
