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

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
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

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!

I'm surprised to see how many people are talking about the obvious difficulty in driving to England. Technically speaking, you drove from Poland to France... and I would hope that your mum changed her clothes or at least cleaned up before getting on the train to England!

it's a good job your grandparents weren't all as dumb when they crossed the channel to liberate Europe onD'Day with us, they then managed to take tanks and armoured cars and allsorts of shit with them, then drive all the way to Poland to Auschwitz. But i bet they were allowed to open the windows if someone threw up.

The Allies that crossed at D-day only made it to Germany. The Soviets took Poland and Aushwitz.

your parents are stupid. Opening windows is one of the first things we used to do to combat my brother's travel sickness.

Sheesh maybe they were travelling by coach and they *couldn't* open the windows! In high school I used to go quite often on coach trips with my school and there was always someone who got car sickness. It sucks, but there's not much you can do about it. Sorry, OP!
