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

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!

Never open your windows driving through a tunnel. It's like sitting in a closed garage with the car running. The carbon monoxide build up could kill. That should be common sense.

clicked this expecting ignorant polish discrimination from daily mail readers, instead find ignorance from americans who: A) have never heard of tunnels B) have never heard of ferries C) think England is Great Britain in its entirety. this'd be like a british person saying the golden gate bridge doesn't exist and mocking people for saying they're driving to Marin County, and then that north america is just canada.

A) Tunnels are very common throughout the world. B) You don't "drive" on a ferry. C) No one but you has even said "Great Britain" on this whole FML. No, it would not be like that. A tunnel that goes underneath a channel of water is actually very unique and uncommon, and to a person living on the other side of the world of such an engineering feat you would expect them to have little knowledge of such a thing. Don't compare a tunnel that goes under a mass of water to a simple bridge. TL;DR stop being a **** because we aren't taught about European engineering. I found it very interesting but I had little knowledge of its existence.

Just to add to that, Robert Fulton, an American engineer, invented the ferry. Enjoy your bitch slap, mister ignorant.

Freeze - what you said in #168 is wrong.

Damn WikiAnswers. I mean, um... He made the steamboat and that led to the first steam powered ferry. Here's a link: http://www.gothamgazette.com/commentary/92.fleischer.shtml I guess technically he didn't invent the ferry. ASDFGSEDJRHSGHFGSAFHSEH.

Ah, I see where you got your info from, but that article itself is horribly misleading. For a start, Fulton didn't "invent the steamboat" as the article says. They had already existed in Europe for decades before that, and he didn't even build the first one in North America - that was John Fitch. Fulton is credited with operating the first commercially successful steamboat in the United States. That article also can be read as implying that the first ferry service between Manhattan and Brooklyn was the very first ferry service, which of course it wasn't, just the first in that location. Unfortunately, you see this sort of US-centric stuff all too often. I've read a lot of things where Americans have been told they invented cars, trains, television and a whole bunch of other things. Most recently, Obama gave a speech where he said America invented the automobile, which is quite simply not true. While Americans did invent a bunch of cool stuff, and pioneered commercialisation and adaptations for a lot of inventions, a lot of the biggies were done in other countries.

World War II??? are you serious??? sure the idea originated from that time period but the chunnel was not completed and opened until 1994. long after World War II.

Americans aren't ignorant, ignorant people are ignorant, we just happen to have quite a few of them...
