Today, I found my company car wrecked in a ditch. Apparently, leaving it parked on an icy hill all night was a bad idea. I have to pick up my manager from the airport. FML

Today, I drove into the parking lot at work, and discovered too late that there were patches of ice everywhere. As I turned to enter my usual spot, I lost control of the vehicle, and despite my pleas, praying, and profanity, it glided straight into my boss's car. FML
Today, I parked my car in the company lot and walked down the street to a mandatory company training. While I was at the training, everyone back at the office decided to leave early and locked the company lot. My car is now stuck there for the night and I'm walking home. FML
Today, I lost control of my car on a patch of ice and slid off the road, messing up my car. I was working on a news story about bad road conditions. FML
Today, while leaving late for work, I walked out to my car only to find the back window broken. Worst part was, I still had to go to work because no one who could cover me showed up. FML
Today, I crashed into a ditch on my way home from work. I had to walk 2 miles in -25 below zero weather before I could pick up a cell phone signal to call a tow truck. When I got back to my car, a cop was waiting for me with a ticket for leaving the scene of an accident. FML
Today, my car broke down dead in the middle of the highway. As I was unable to get it out of the road, it was impounded, and my insurance won't help. Now I'm further in debt and struggling to get to work. FML
Today, my boss reported to the police that a suspicious car has been parked outside the store late at night. I walked outside and my car was gone. He had my car towed. FML
Today, my boyfriend wrecked our car. Now I can't get to work in order to make the money we need to buy a new one. FML
Today, I was in a car accident on the way to work. I called my boss and told him I had to deal with the police and the accident report and didn't know how long it would take. He got mad and said I "should have picked a better time to do this". FML
Today, I got stuck in the snow in the middle of street. As I was just beginning to get myself unstuck, the snow plow came by and buried the front end of my car. FML

At least the car didn't hit anyone on the way down

an act of god is what insurance companies refer to when it's natures fault, like a tree branch falling on your car, deer running into your car, etc.

I guess emergency brake wouldn't work in that situation, maybe chains or bricks behind the tires next time.

Seriously? didn't you ever learn about turning the wheels so that it runs into the curb?

You think that would work on a sheet of ice?

#28 If everything is icy and the wheels are locked up from the brakes, the car will slide straight down regardless of which direction the wheels are pointing.

At least it didn't hit any other cars in the process of sliding down the hill (or I'd assume that would deserve mention here). Then again, that's probably only because everyone else was smart enough to park elsewhere,

Apparently, having you as the owner was also a mistake. Why the hell would you park your car on an ICY SLOPE? Those two words put together just scream trouble.

Twitlight, I think the question is more HOW would you park a car on an icy slope? Surely it'd start sliding down as soon as you slow down/stop as opposed to waiting all night to start going down the hill? And OP...I'm hoping for your sake that it wasn't icy when you parked the car, otherwise you're a total idiot and should go learn the meaning of common sense. YDI

hurry up and rent a car... and think about how to remedy your stupidity... before another innocent automobile falls victim to your evil. >;[

Time to pull yourself up by your bootstraps, buy a wheelbarrow, and start walking to the airport.

No lickmyjock, in these icy conditions a wheelbarrow is too much like the luge. We've already lost one too many at that sport :(

ONE too many? People have died on the luge before that one accident. Do a little reading.

Wow! Parking a car on a icy slope is a perfect idea, your car won't even crash into a ditch. Think next time buddie.
