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

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
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?

And yet they get blamed if anything unfortunate happens while they are already more commonly under appreciated by the general masses.

This is why elderly people need to best tested after a certain age to see it they are still fit to drive

Already implemented in some countries/states. But more still needs to be done.

I really hope the child is okay, and those two elderly obviously shouldn't be driving. Or being allowed on the streets. Unreasonably aggressive, much?

But they could still see the ambulance

im under the impression that blocking an ambulance is illegal. if they didn't get out of your way, as per the law says they HAVE to... then the hospital should be able to press charges. a fine at minimum. apparently that couple didn't understand that if that child died because they obstructed the ambulance, they THEY can be charged with manslaughter.

Maybe people don't realize that their driving could mean life or death when it involves getting out of an ambulance's way. You'd think the sirens and lights would be an indication.

Apparently there are still people who missed the memo: "If it's big and has sirens, then it goes first".

you should've called the police on their asses. slow-driving asses. i guess they didn't know that they're supposed to move when they see an ambulance.

I feel you brother. I ain't enough that most people dont notice the warning systems, some that do CHOOSE to ignore it. If I a had a dime every time I ran code 4 in the back of some jack@&& who wouldn't give it...

even if they're in the wrong by not moving out of the way, thay does not give you the right to run them off the road. you could have caused another emergency situation

Really? Really? Can you not see implications in the text? Okay, I'll make it clear: He was stuck behind them, lights and sirens going. He may have been a little close, and then probably pulled around them as soon as there was room to do so. The fact that those words - running them off the road - are in quotation marks is implying that they were over reacting and stretching the truth to make themselves the victims. Do you REALLY think that an ambulance driver would purposefully run someone off the road? You've got to be kidding me, or you just fail at common sense.
