FML - The follow-up

Today, I found that windshield wipers on my car had been stolen. I bought a pair of new ones for around $10 but when I was trying to put them in place, I failed to hold a wiper holder and it slipped down on the windshield, causing cracks. Now I have to replace the windshield which will cost approximately $150. FML

Hi to all! I'M THE AUTHOR OF THIS FML :) Thanks for your votes and conversation! Some remarks: my car is Skoda Fabia (2002), windshield was Ok before this thing happened, and the windshield was cracked by the wiper holder (wiper arm), without a wiper itself. It of course didn't break into pieces - just the inferior layer of the glass got a "star" of cracks 10-15 cm each which are gradually growing :( P.S. In my country (Ukraine) average month salary is probably ~$250 and up to 1/3 of people live for half of that. P.P.S. I myself was surprised to see my wipers stolen as those old ones cost $3-4 max :) And I thought that steeling such things was left somewhere in 1990-s

So true- I had a friend that lived in a somewhat bad neighborhood and he couldn't even have a porch light because people would steal the lightbulb. Damn druggies

#6 Anti-flood is a device that some flood prone countries install beneath their doors, so as to stop any water from coming in! Some insurance companies do not pay out flood insurance if the 'anti-flood' device wasn't installed! Its still a fairly new concept, and there should be some coming in a store near you!

Not everyone can afford to hire people to do every little thing for them. I replace my own wipers, change my own head/tail lights, change my own oil, and anything else that comes up that I can figure out on my own. I would rather spend my money on things I enjoy.

I was simply stating it in a way that if OP didn't know how replace the windshields correctly, to hire to someone to do it, or get someone they know to help them out, instead of doing it themselves, resulting in fail.
