Today, I had a bad feeling about walking to work because of the weather. Instead, I drove. My car slid on the ice and I created a four-car pile up. All three of the other people involved have decided to sue me. I should've walked. FML

Today, I slid on ice and hit another car while driving to work. My car was totalled, and my leg hurt, while the other car had very little damage. Not two minutes later, the salt truck drove by, spraying the road. FML

Today, I thought I'd wear my snow boots so I wouldn't slip on the ice at work. I crashed my car because I can't feel the pedals with my boots on. 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, I tried to walk on the sidewalk. Actually, it was so slippery that I had to shimmy across it. Then I shimmied too quickly and fell down. Now everything hurts. Maybe next time I should bring a sled. FML

Today, I walked to the end of my driveway to pick up the newspaper. I read the front page that was talking about people who have been getting hurt from slipping on ice. Laughing about that thought and walking up my driveway, I slipped. FML

Slippery

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 was walking home from work, when I slipped and fell on a patch of ice. I clambered back to my feet, made it three feet, then slipped and fell again. A guy who'd witnessed the whole thing stuck his head out of his car window and yelled "Dumbasssssss!" FML

Today, I offered to stay late at my delivery job because it was snowing and several people called out. An hour later I got rear ended. FML

Today, I stepped out of my car and slipped on a fresh coating of ice on the ground. I tried to catch myself by grabbing the car on my way down, but unfortunately, I was trying to grab with the hand that was holding my car keys. I key-scratched my own car. FML

Today, it was snowing. I slipped on the ice and fell in the middle of the road, dislocating my left shoulder and knee. As I was screaming in pain and trying to stand up, two boys on the pavement threw snowballs at me while everyone in the cars just drove around me. FML

That's not really your fault though. Cars do slide on ice. No one knows when it will happen.

Wow, so much misinformation here. First off, yes they can sue you for damages caused by your negligence while driving. This is why we have auto insurance. Accidents do happen, but typically somebody is at fault. If you lost control of your car, then you will be liable for the damages that resulted from that action, both direct (the car you hit) and indirect (the cars that were hit on up the chain). Laws vary by state, and some states have what they call "no fault" insurance. If you do not have insurance, #1 shame on you, and #2 as long as the damages are within your policy limits, you should not have to pay a nickel, except to repair your own car, if you so desire.

Just so you know how insurance works, yes you do indeed pay for it with increased premiums for several years. Additionally their vehicle is probably damaged enough to warrant repairs which comes out of pocket for the person at fault assuming they don't want to claim it and pay even more premiums, and they have to cover their deductible.

Apparently you can't drive so you should turn in your license and sell your car and buy a bus pass. For the future, icy road means drive slow. I SAID SLOW, OMG YOU'RE GOING TOO FAST YOU'RE GOING TO *screeeeee* *BANG!* yeah... get a bus pass.

Where I live, if you read-end someone (no matter the weather), it's automatically your fault because you were following too close. If you were at the front of the pile-up, no way is it your fault they hit you. They should have kept a safer distance for the weather conditions.
