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

70% off something you didn't need, a stampede and a cart that crashes at checkout. Thanks, Black Friday.
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
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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

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

They won't win as it's considered an act of God due to weather so ur good insurance will take care of it

Not entirely true. It is possible op was going to fast for the current weather conditions for the car to go out of control.

I feel bad for you OP it's not really your fault you got in a car accident when it was icy I mean it is called an "Accident" I don't see how anyone could sue you for that best of wishes with your cases though

So, in your mind, if you accidentally drop a beer bottle from your 9th floor balcony, and it ended up hurting someone, it is somehow not your fault?

Technically, the driver is also fully responsible for judging if the weather conditions are safe enough to drive.

I can almost gaurantee that this is a lie

I'm pretty sure most people walk after deeming it too unsafe to drive; I've never heard it the other way around, but I guess I now what happens when you do think of it that way :P

You could be driving grandma slow and still spin out on a patch of ice. Ice is ice. That's nobody's fault. They're just upset because they didn't leave enough room to stop which, in my state, makes them at fault. Sorry OP :/

Well if they hit you you can sue them. The back car always pays

possibly you could of been involved in a 4 car pileup but without you in a car and instead in-between so this could of been a positive

In what universe is the possibility of slipping on ice more concerning than the possibility of careening into a solid object and causing thousands of dollars in damage in a steel cocoon?

Who knows, if you had walked, maybe you would've caused a FIVE car accident. Doesn't seem as bad now does it? :P
