Today, I hit a car while trying to answer a phone call from my mom. I quickly answered the phone and shouted "What!?". To which she replied, "I just had a bad feeling in my gut about you so I wanted to make sure you were ok." FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was hit by a car. I called my girlfriend from the hospital and asked her if she could pick me up. She responded by saying "Fuck you, you aways tell me what to do!" and hung up. FML
Today, while driving, I got a call on my cell phone. Trying to be safe and avoid an accident, I pulled into the nearest parking lot before answering. While I was turning in to park, someone rear-ended me. FML
Today, I was driving home and got a phone call from my mom. She called to tell me that there was a cop at the bottom of our hill, and to be careful. I got a ticket for talking on my cell phone while driving. FML
Today, I checked my inbox and realized I got an email from a potential employer, saying they were having trouble getting a hold of me by phone. They called while my mom was using my phone to look up directions to a place, and she answered, kindly hanging up when they asked for me. FML
Today, while on the road, my dad called twice before I pulled over and answered the phone. He first got mad at me for not answering, and then again later for "paying attention to my phone" while driving. FML
Today, I wrecked my car because my mom texted me, telling me not to text and drive. FML
Today, I went on a date, and halfway through I started getting nonstop calls from “Mom” on my phone. Annoyed, I silenced them. Later, I checked my voicemail. It was actually my mom calling from the ER because she had slipped and broken her ankle. FML
Today, my mom didn’t answer the phone when I called. My husband promptly said, with a straight face, “Would you answer you?” FML
Today, while in the car with my mom, she gave me a lecture about how bad of a driver I am. During that process she ran a red light and hit a car. FML
Today, I called my mom for the first time in a few weeks, just to chat because I miss her. When she picked up, the first thing she said was, "Why are you calling? What's wrong? Do you have swine flu??" When I told her that I didn't, and I just wanted to chat, she hung up. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

My biggest pet peeve is people driving like ******* idiots because they are occupied with their phone. You deserved it.

You people know that you've all done it before. Do you really want to throw the first stone here?

#22, If im on the highway I will take my hands off the wheel, my alignment is good and im not going for any turns. I also drive a manual, I will still talk on my cell phone while driving and avoid crappy drivers like you who keep your hands at 10 and 2 and are far too uptight to be behind the wheel.

#24, FML is for situations that suck and the reporter wants some sympathy laughter to help get along with it. This guy that got hit? He deserves an FML. The original reporter deserves to be treated like the moron that s/he is. We need to make the guy that got hit feel better about having to share the roads with someone as irresponsible as this. Why not blow dry your hair while driving, or shave? Because you're in control of a two ton piece of metal going many miles per hour, thats why. Do you need to actually murder someone before you realize the gravity of what I'm saying? and once again, to all those people who say "you've done it," no, I have not. And I DO have a cell phone. And I DO have a car, and it is a manual. And no, no member of my family or friend circle has been killed by some idiot who talks and drives. Like I said before, Common Sense.

Yes, blah blah blah, it's the OP's fault. BUT it's funny because of the irony - the mom calls because she has a "gut feeling," and thereby "causes" the accident. Let it go... I'm sure they've figured out by now that answering the phone was a bad idea.

For the righteous police in this thread: get off your high horses. Most of you have used a phone in the car before. The only difference is, this guy was not coordinated enough to do it without crashing, which makes him a loser. The problem doesn't lie in phones, but rather in not holding your wheel straight or not looking at the road while trying to answer a call. I can eat, drink, drive a stick, and talk on the phone while driving. Has it gotten me into an accident? Not even close, I know my limits. This guy did not. As for the actual FML, you did deserve it but it has a special irony about it. It's like in the Matrix: "Would you still have broken it if I hadn't said anything?"
