Today, I saw a photo on my mother-in-law's Facebook, proudly showing off the horrible job she'd done of painting her car. I sarcastically commented that I wouldn't inflict that on my worst enemy's ride. An hour later, she came by and emptied a bucket of paint over my windshield. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, my husband has been painting our house all weekend and plans to finish the job after work today. I decided to surprise him by completing the job myself. Painting the last window frame, I dropped the open tin of white paint, right onto our car roof. FML
Today, my wife keyed my car and spilled wine on the seats because she saw I commented on a female friend’s picture on Facebook. I told her how repairs are gonna be expensive, and she responded, “You should have thought about that before complimenting other bitches on Facebook!” FML
Today, my mother-in-law threw bricks at my car. Her defense? I shouldn't have parked in her "brick throwing spot", in my own driveway. FML
Today, I finished a big art project. It was a self-portrait done in acrylics. Proud of my piece, I showed my mom. After some thought her first comment was, "well, I'm either going to insult your art or your face." FML
Today, I was really excited that I'd made it the two weeks I'd borrowed my mother-in-law's new car without putting a scratch on it. I got off work to discover a customer's child throwing rocks in the parking lot. They cracked the windshield. FML
Today, every time I think of having any children, I remember that an idiotic neighbor let her kids paint all over my car with permanent marker, so I eventually forget about it. FML
Today, my pissed off girlfriend used window marker to write racist comments on my car window. This included Nazi symbols, "white power", and a few others I won't mention. I live in a predominantly black neighborhood. FML
Today, while painting a wall, I handed a bucket of paint up to my friend who was standing on the top rung of a ladder. She said she felt dizzy, and came crashing down on me, along with the paint on my head. FML
Today, I was sitting in my old rusty truck in an empty parking lot, when some old lady parks beside me and opens her door, hitting my truck. Having a used up truck, I didn't mind. But you could tell that it made her mad, when she came back with the manager demanding that I pay for her paint job. FML
Today, I was painting the garage door. After 3 hours, I finally finished the job. As I was walking back inside, accidentally pressed the button that opens and closes the garage door. Not only did the paint job get messed up as it went up, the paint also dripped onto my parents' brand new car. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

YDI you brought that on yourself, you could've just kept your comment to yourswlf and avoided all of that.

Well, while that was uncalled for, there's no need to be openly rude, especially to one's inlaws...

You seem to be a cyber bully. Most cyber bullies do it because they can get away with no repercussions. You got caught. Think about what you say and do in future.

Everyone here is saying something to the effect of "YDI. Keep your comments to yourself!" Yet here we all are…

Have you heard of the saying, "If you don't have anything nice to say, then don't say anything at all"? Or at least, if you have something to say to someone else, do it in a polite and/or not so rude manner. Its a rule that I follow. Honestly, I wouldn't really be surprised if this puts a greater strain on your relationship with your in-laws and possibly even your wife. I don't think you deserved it but I'm not going to say that it is entirely your mother-in-law's fault when your comment is what basically triggered a reaction from her. Both of you are in the wrong and two wrongs don't make a right (cliche saying but I still felt like I had to add it here).

How are so many people here saying YDI? Chances are, based on his in-law's reaction, she isn't exactly a pleasant person. He made a smart-ass comment, but so do a lot of people. She DUMPED A BUCKET OF PAINT on his windshield, effectively costing him a ton of cash, over a comment on facebook. Are all of you people slow?

It is hard to convey sarcasm on Facebook so not sure what you think you were doing...
