Today, I failed my driving test. I've been a legal driver in my home country for 8 years, but can't pass the test here. FML

It's alright, Spongebob didn't give up, neither should you.

Well, I can see that being annoying. But it might simply be a 'getting accustomed to change' thing, depending on where you moved from and how many differences they are. I mean, generally the overall picture is the same, but there might be little nitty-gritty things that are different and a different side of the road etc and it all adds up. Or you're a bad driver who happened to never get caught out at all for eight years, and therefore you had no inkling of any faults, which I'd deem unlikely.

same here but failed 3 times in Los Angeles!

haha well this is America, DEAL WITH IT!!

Yes but America has so many of the World's worst drivers.

yeah but OP won't have to worry about that, considering she lives in the UK...

it's probably those freaking round abouts that made op fail. I remember chevy chase had hell with them lol

Next time don't do it in Finland.

You are a woman so you can't drive, but tell you what - you do make hell of a sammich! Please make one for all the guys here.

MonkeyBusiness- Haha! Good one! You're so funny! You're a jackass. That's the second sammich comment I've read from you in the last two minutes. It isn't funny, it's sexist, and you should stop. Period.

someone call Doc a waaaaaambulance stat!!!

Gary Busey calls 911 operator operator: 911 what's your emergency? Gary Busey: It's Doc again, he's crying like a little girl that refuses to make me a sammich operator: were sending a pair of scissors out so he can remove the shrink wrap from his testes. Gary Busey: Thank you.

doc, do you want a whaaamburger with those French cries? grow up pussy and while your at it I could use a sammich so gimme one!

I'm pretty sure that in comment 49 that Doc is personally attacking another person. But yet it's not moderated?

Regular old insults aren't forbidden; the best I can suggest is to grow a pair. Sammich comments will be moderated with extreme prejudice, as will any form of sexism, regardless of any gender involved. Feel free to donate any sammiches to me at your whim though. That is all.

dude u shouldn't be talking to me. Asians are the worst drivers. if u guys stop driving millions of lives will be saved from accidents caused by ur race lol. kidding, nah im not

Sirin, I have a special sammich just for you thank for clearing that up, it makes absolutely no sense. Calling someone a jackass is more than a "regular old insult." *as Gary Busey gets banned a hush quiets the room*

Sirin, you never asked! How would you like yours?

With charred troll-meat, if that is at all possible :-)

Oh no, Gary! My comment wasn't moderated! Go run to Sirin and turn me in! What are you, in second grade? You feel the need to tattle? Guess what big guy, my comments are generally meant to be funny, educational, or supportive. In this case, it was supportive of women. I happen to respect them, unlike MonkeyBusiness and you. If you think I need a waaaambulance for that, then good luck ever getting laid. Gigglepony, yeah I get mad at people who disrespect women. Got a ******* problem with that?

One charred troll-meat sammich coming right up! Would you like fries with that?

Do fries go well with ten crates of vodka and red bull? No? No fries for me then.

Sirin, is this seat taken? I'll join you for the Red Bull and vodka. Hold the Red Bull.

By the way, if sammich comments get moderated with alacrity, I guess I have to change my rule #2. My world is out of alignment!

why is sexism worse than insults is insulting someone not worse for them than a sexist comment lol if the policy is grow a pair why doesn't everyone grow a pair and not get butthurt over what some moron said I'm not saying sexism is okay just saying why isn't an insult of any kind forbidden if one kind is forbidden plus I've seen many derogatory comments towards males such as and this is not a quote all mean are like that( insert something negative) and they never get moderated so is one worse than the other if so is this site biased to males why not delete the sexist comments that are thrown at anyone also any grammar Nazis can shove it if I messed up if I did not then have a nice day

generalasskicker 12

lol why do u assume he has a problem with people that respect women or respecting women maybe he just has a problem with the overly aggresive way u responded

generalasskicker 12

I'm not arguing I'm asking a question I even said sexism is wrong in my comment

if I was arguing I apologize if I double posted I apologize and if your looking out for me or anyone u should do it more passively now Ima drop this so like you said we don't get banned :)

to answer your question, asskicker, it's because this is America, the nation that gets more crybaby over everything every day. can't call our president black, can't say "your gay" offensively, basically can't have free speech. they're already trying to "control" the Internet with that shit... oh America, land of the not-so-free, and if it ain't free, you best believe you'll end up getting sued for it. it's what America does. gotta love the pussification of the nation.

134- "This is America." I didn't know the Internet is considered America since any Country can use it. We do have freedom of speech so I don't know where you came up with that. Also, not everyone sues and when people do sue, it doesn't mean the Judge agrees with the reason and passes it.

that's very true. god when will other people understand

Soviet Russia doesn't count.. there, car drives you!

Chaos, I like to think of it as more of a double standard rather than self-righteousness. :)

lol I thought the site was based in America though (correct me if I'm wrong it was an assumption and I hope I didn't make an ass of myself)

Nope #158 it was created, and is still run, in France.

KaySL- harsh. you COULD have explained it nicely... not everyone has read and studied the FML bible.

Sounds like you need to speed up the learning process and take a turn for the better on the good ol' learning curb.

either that or where she used to live was full of bad drivers :/

yup I come from London to America, I usually pass the test right away, but for the whole time the instructor was screaming saying something stupid like "I'm on the wrong side of the road!" I total should have passed, FML!

AKBO47 agreed defiantly and cinn remember me you were the little snitch that got me banned on other acc.

how long did it take you to type that. if it was under 2min then your a nerd

lmao, I laughed so much at this comment.

oh chin your comments are always soo boring, I think you try too hard to sound smart.

I think you try too hard to sound smart, it's hella anoying.

I agree. If it's not a wise comment that's even funnier than the FML don't bother.

Oh wow; FML really has turned to shit. Just look at all of you pricks...

Hey, there might be some funny comments out there, but Cinn's comments are the only comments that are actually helpful. at least, I think so. Gotta be better than listening to the sammich guy, am I right? lol

I strongly disagree with all of you, with the exception of zmeilerr, I completely agree with his comment. I don't think Cinn deserves any grief from you all for her being eloquent, if her comment bothers you so much, then don't read it. By the way, I enjoy reading your comments Cinn, they're always so entertaining.

Draminicaus, You're exempt from my comment.

I'm formulating a theory that the trolls crawl out of the woodwork during the night-time... Yes, I'm a nerd, and I view that as a good thing. Also, if you don't like my comment, skip the damn thing. I notice one familiar name there, haven't you learnt yet? I also didn't know that I had to be stupid, I thought using my brain was a good thing. Also thanks, Zmeilerr, Draminicaus & PaperDragon. And any that I missed in the middle.

Sorry, InDenial, but I can't see another comment by you. Also, I did say any that I missed in the middle.

The UK testing service has an unspoken limit on how many drivers are allowed to pass per week - apparently. Also, you never learn to drive until AFTER your test - you've probably picked up some bad habits that help you but aren't allowed.

thats not actually true I thought that. and my advice book your test on a saturday about 12pm the instructors wana go home so they will give you a quick test :)

Around here we have a theory test (identifying signs, picking which lane to use in given situations, etc.) that you take for your learning permit, then you take a skills test 6+ months later after you've had experience and formal training.

#11 It is actually true that they have a limit. DVLA deny it but the instructors can confirm it - mine did, as did 2 others I know. And I also learned in Edinburgh, so chances are OP went to the same test centre. OP - when you rebook your test go for the start of the month. That's what I did and the instructor was rather lenient as her quota was nowhere near filled. Of course they may be slightly harsher on you as you already drive and 'shouldn't' make mistakes.

People here in america are assholes. Im not saying I like it, but it's true.

Hm, there's a language in which United Kingdom translates to United States?

on my personal list of complete idiots, u just bumped Pee-Wee Herman out of the #1 spot

I'll give you three guesses who is #1 on my list.

Me? Please let it be me. Please God (Doc), let it be me.

If your #1 is Gary Busey I'm going to have a hard time sleeping tonight
