Today, I got screamed at, threatened, cursed, and spat on by an elderly couple for "running them off the road". I was driving an ambulance, lights and sirens on, with a 4 year old in the back who couldn't breathe. They were going 20 in a 50mph zone for 2 miles straight. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I got screamed and honked at by a driver who felt I was in the way of his turn. I was on foot, and on the sidewalk. FML
Today, some aggressive asshole was tailgating me on my way home, bumping into me twice. I got scared and kicked my car into high gear and got out of there. Seconds later, a traffic cop came out of nowhere and pulled me over for speeding. FML
Today, I was driving my grandpa to the store because his car is in the shop. I was well within the speed limit, but he kept yelling at me for "speeding", then accused me of trying to give him a heart attack, and eventually pulled the e-brake, getting us rear-ended. He refuses to apologise. FML
Today, my neighbor yelled at me for driving recklessly. I was going 35 mph, and she was stopped in the middle of a road around a blind curve. My "reckless driving" was slamming on the brakes so I wouldn't hit her. FML
Today, I had a “Fuck you” shouting match with a guy who'd tailgated me in the slow lane through an active school zone. I flipped him off when he finally passed, which admittedly wasn’t my best move. He ended up beside me, windows down, where we verbally sparred like teenagers in a dick swinging contest. Regrettably. FML
Today, a cop almost rear-ended my car, slammed on the gas with no warning, swerved around me, flipped me the bird, then cut me off and then drove a full ten miles under the speed limit. When I changed lanes to overtake him, he pulled me over for road rage. FML
Today, my car broke down at a red light. A man pulled up next to me and yelled at me to get out of the fast lane. I thought he was gonna offer help, as I was a young woman on her own, but he just yelled at me and sped off. FML
Today, I was walking down the street, when a car started cruising alongside me. I looked over, annoyed, at which point the driver started screaming obscenities and telling me that I'm "gonna get it" for "betraying" him, before angrily speeding off. I'm too scared to even sleep now. FML
Today, as I was driving to work, I witnessed a kid apparently getting jumped. Being a good citizen, I got out and started yelling at them. I ended up alongside the kid in the hospital. FML
Today, I was going into a store and saw a woman roughly handling a screaming toddler. I kept walking, until I heard the kid scream, "Help! You’re not my mommy!” I called 911 and stood behind the car to keep her from taking off. The cops arrived to see me fending off blows from a very pissed off grandma. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

This is fake. An ambulance driver would have immediately called out Police to stop and ticket the elderly driver if they were running code and the elderly driver was impeding traffic.

No, not fake. Happens all the time. Cars today are insulated better than ever, coupled with a driver likely hearing inpaired. I do beleive the 20 mph for 2 miles is an exaggeration though. Over the course of 2 miles, there should have been ample opportunity to cross lanes and pass. Also, stop blaming only old people. I have had too many near misses and been blocked in my ambulance too many times by teenagers with the windows down, radio cranked while simultaneously talking on a cellphone. There are idiots of every generation. Although, the elder generation is less likely to judge.

That's why all roads need a MINIUM speed limit also, driving too slow is just as much of a danger to everyone else as driving too fast

Pass them???

I would have had dispatch send out a cop to take care of the problem. Doesn't just happen to the elderly, seen this problem myself with all ages and races.

This problem happens with rude, inconsiderate drivers of all ages. The really arrogant ones intentionally drive slowly and refuse to let the emergency vehicle pass. I read where one middle-aged guy did this, intentionally keeping the ambulance from getting past him, until he got home and realized the ambulance had also been trying to go to his home to get his elderly mother who'd had some major medical crisis.
