Today, I had to endure a long drive from Poland to England. We weren't allowed to open our windows. My mum threw up. Twice. FML

Wild Nights Out
Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, whilst driving, I had the sudden urge to vomit. As I pulled over I wound my window down, stuck my head out, and emptied my stomach. At least I would have if I had wound down the driver's window instead of the back window. FML
Today, I drove over 200km from Dublin to Galway, with a broken window. It rained for most of the journey. FML
Today, I opened my window due to the good weather. I was lucky enough to listen to the sounds of someone violently throwing up for over an hour. The window got stuck open. FML
Today, I went on a long flight. I was fortunate enough to sit next to a great girl. However, she must have thought I was not so great, because she moved to the empty seat across the aisle. Next to my dad. Who then told stories about how I always get motion sickness on airplanes. I then threw up. FML
Today, my mom picked me up from school due to me being sick. Afterwards, she took a detour to the DMV, and I waited in the car. I ended up vomiting everywhere, clothes included, and had to sit in the car for three hours while the taste and smells lingered. FML
Today, my boyfriend and I are on our way back from vacation. It will be an eight hour drive. It just so happens I got food poisoning the night before we left, and there's roadwork everywhere. We're at a dead halt with no signs of moving. FML
Today, after we drove to France to go to a jazz festival, we'd arrived in the evening after a 600 km drive, and my wife made a misstep and broke her ankle, it's the next day and we drove back home. After the first toll booth, the electric car window would no longer go up, so we drove with the window open for the remaining 500 km. FML
Today, the two and a half hours it took our poorly air conditioned taxi to go 20 miles in stop-and-go traffic was highlighted by our son projectile vomiting all over my wife, a suitcase, and the car. It ended with me having to pay both for the ride, as well as for cleaning the inside of the taxi. FML
Today, I drove my mom home from the salon because she was feeling sick. I'm not the best driver, but I was excited that I was helping. Everything was going smoothly until I hit a bump in the road. My mom blew chunks all over. I found out very quickly that she had spicy chicken for lunch. FML
Today, I was driving along, and went to spit out my window. My window was up. This happened in heavy traffic. People saw. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

There is one reason I bothered to read the comments on this post. I wanted to see how many people made dumbass comments about how you can't drive to England because it's on an island. Thank you for entertaining me with your cluelessness!

That's horrible! You should have gotten one of those little pine-tree air fresheners and stuck in on your nose!

YDI for driving. YDI for having a mom. YDI for taking a dump in your pants and causing your mom to throw up from the stench.

You can't DRIVE to England. It's a damn island. However, it does have an underground/underwater metro you can take from France. I guess y'all took that. Hell if I know. I'm AMERICAN. I'm supposed to be stupid, aren't I? :|

#60 - It's possible to drive to Manhattan ISLAND via the Brooklyn–Battery Tunnel. It's possible to get to Galveston ISLAND by taking the Galveston Island Ferry. In both cases, you'd say you'd driven there despite the fact that you'd crossed bodies of water in the process. Same thing in this case. There is a train tunnel that runs under the English Channel that takes cars. You drive from a starting point in continental Europe to a finishing point in the UK with only a tiny section taken up by the Channel crossing. Oh, and in France, a Métro is specifically a mass-transit rail system within a city. The trains that run through the Channel Tunnel are a totally different concept.

Most people go to Galveston Island via the bridge. At least, I do. Just throwing that out there. There is a ... considerable difference in the distance that must be crossed over the ocean. Not all of us know what the Channel Tunnel is, but I wish it was taught to us.

Exactly Freeze. Your #65 post was polite, enquiring and understandable. People can't be expected to know everything about everything, hence my straight answer to that one. #60's post was argumentative, belligerent, and most importantly - wrong, so I was less polite in my response. You're totally correct that there's a big difference between the Galveston Island Ferry and the Channel Tunnel, and I know it's not the main route to Galveston Island, but #60 is from the Gulf Coast, so I was looking for an example close to home. For a massive water crossing by car in the US, there's always Route 1 in the Florida Keys, which is a hell of a lot further than from France to the UK. The main point about saying it was a 'drive' to England still stands. This was a thousand mile journey, of which only a tiny part is done by ferry or train. The OP didn't catch the train from Poland, didn't fly, walk or whatever. There really is no other way to say it in this context.

#60...thank you for perpetuating the idea that all Americans are stupid and uninformed about the rest of the world. If you are uneducated on a particular topic at least take the time to google it before you make such a comment.

Well, I was kind of thinking that, too. I remember seeing something on the Discovery channel about a train being built in a tunnel underground so I had to go search and refresh my memory on it. What I don't understand is that the tunnel is a train, not a road, so OP driving there seems... off. I guess driving to the train makes sense, but it wouldn't really be a drive to England.

65 - It is a train. You can board the train or hook/board your car onto the train. A lot of people choose to do so. However the ride isn't long.

#65/Freeze - it works by you driving to the terminal on the French side of the Channel, putting your car on the train, and driving it off at the other side in the UK. It might be easier to think of it with the analogy of a car-carrying ferry boat, only the transport method is different. In the case of this trip, the Chunnel represents about 30-some-odd miles of a journey of about 1000 miles, and you're with your car the whole time, so it's totally reasonable to think of it as driving there. Alternatively, there are several actual ferries that cross the Channel, depending on what the most convenient start and finish points are for you. Up until a few years ago, you could also do the trip by hovercraft.

They probably took a ferry over the English channel. It’s actually quite common.
