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

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
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?

LOL. I don't know who to f the life of: you, your mom's or the guy you hit. But yeah. WHY DON'T PEOPLE USE HANDSFREE. -_-" In Hong Kong, everyone uses Handsfree because everyone knows it's really stupid and ignorant to pick up the phone while driving. Also, they don't think holding a phone while driving looks cool because they know it leads to accidents, so it's pretty dumb. So yeah. Get a handsfree (aka earphones for your phone) so all you gotta do is click. :D Taxi drivers in HK do that all the time and you don't see them crashing into randoms XD

I love how a high percentage of FMLs are people who hit other cars or got into an accident who are trying to make excuses (e.g., your mother) and not taking the blame for themselves. If you get into a car accident, and your car hit another car or an inanimate object, then it's your fault. Own up to it and stop trying to milk us for sympathy.

I've been in a couple near accidents due to people talking on their phones and not paying attention. It's a hazard to not just your safety, but others on the road too. How selfish of you. Imagine if you got in a horrible accident cause of that, and perhaps you ended up killing a child. Would that be the only way for you to realize how wrong it is of you to do that?

YDI for answering your phone while driving and answering rudely to your mom.
