Transportation: Today, I backed out of the driveway of our newly built home....

By jaded_woman - 27/12/2009 06:58 - Australia

Today, I backed out of the driveway of our newly built home. Being unfamiliar with the driveway, I ended up getting bogged in the mud and slid halfway down the steep slope of the front yard, trying free myself. I haven't met my neighbours yet. They stood in their front lawns watching me. FML

Snow day

By Middle Age Divorced Dad - 05/02/2023 18:00 - Canada - Kanata

Today, driving out of my neighbourhood, I encountered three snow plows heading towards me. I tried to turn around in a stranger's driveway but wasn't fast enough, and they left a wall 4-feet high of ice and snow, blocking me in. I rang the doorbell, borrowed their shovel and dug out their driveway. Its -32 with wind-chill. FML

Today, my new neighbors moved in across the street. Also today, they began to park at the end of my driveway. Not used to a car being there, I backed out and promptly hit it. Welcome to the neighborhood. FML

Today, I was driving slightly off road for work to clean a well. I didn't want to get my boots muddy by walking the last 20 ft through mud, so I tried to drive through. I spent the next four hours on hands and knees digging my way out. FML

Today, I slipped on my icy front porch, fell back and hit my head on the step. I tried to get up, but lost my balance and fell halfway into the bush next to the steps. I then looked up to see my very hot, British, Ex-Special Forces next door neighbor laughing so hard he dropped his snow shovel. FML

Misjudged

By VelociTheRaptor - 23/05/2017 02:00

Today, I was leaving work after a storm. They're building some new offices outside, so I had to walk on an uneven path near the construction zone. I came to a big puddle and tried to jump across to what I thought was a piece of asphalt. It was mud. I slipped and fell backwards into the puddle. FML

Today, I was driving on roads that were bad from two days of snow. I spun my car out, and ended up half-way in a ditch. Thinking that I could push my car out of the snow, I got out of my car, landing in waist deep snow. When trying to get back in, I fell neck deep into snow. FML

Today, I tried to back my car into my parking space while some of my neighbors were out by their cars. I accidentally rammed into the retaining wall behind my spot. I was hoping the neighbors didn't notice the huge crunching sound, but they did. FML

Today, I walked to the end of my driveway to pick up the newspaper. I read the front page that was talking about people who have been getting hurt from slipping on ice. Laughing about that thought and walking up my driveway, I slipped. FML

Too late

By Anonymous - 08/06/2009 13:25 - United States

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

Stuck

By muddygal - 25/06/2011 19:10 - United States

Today, while driving with my family, the car got stuck in a large patch of mud. My family of seven decided that I, the fifteen year old girl, would be best suited to push it out. After slipping, falling, and getting completely covered in mud, they finally called a tow truck. FML

"Unfamiliar with the driveway?" So EVERYWHERE else that you drive, you're familiar with, and THAT'S why you screwed up this time? It's got nothing to do with being used to it... it's a matter of watching where you're going and knowing how to back up properly.

Female drivers...... Ugh. Thanks for proving the stereotype for all women yet again. Are you blond by chance to?

Woman drivers jokes are only an escape goat for us men. If you have a penis then you can expect to pay more for insurance since men are technically worst drivers. It's hard to imagine, but it's true.

24788 defintly(sp?) is a blonde woman, she sounds like one of those blondes who think they are smart because they use words like escape goat, and one of those who thinks blondes are super "intellmigent!" and women text,call,put on make-up, and do other shit while driving, my brother can text fine with his 2009 Cadillac CTS I dont know why women have an issue.

Hair color doesn't make a difference, asshole. The three smartest kids in my grade are blonde, including the guy who completely aces every spanish test, the infinite pool of knowledge that seems to know everything, and the chick who picks up information incredibly quickly and retains it. So **** you.

i agree, it has nothing to do with being familiar with the driveway..if you were driving along in town and strayed into an area you were unfamiliar with would you suddenly forget how to drive and end up through a shop window? doubtful, but if you would, you seriously shouldnt be on the road..although at least that would be more understandable, there would be people about, and other cars and stuff, but a driveway? with just you? thats terribley bad driving

Even if we were to accept her lame excuse, how much time does it take to get "familiar" with a driveway? A driveway's a driveway, there's not usually much difference from one to the next.
