Today, I saw a poor helpless cat in the middle of the road while driving. I pulled over and scooped it in my arms to bring it to safety. Not only did I get mauled and scratched by the cat, my car also wasn't put in park and rolled away hitting a parked car. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, while driving, I witnessed the neighbors dog viciously shaking a black cat. So I slammed on the brakes and jumped out of the car, frantically chasing around the huge dog screaming "Help, someone please help!" I finally managed to tackle him and release the cat. It was a stuffed animal. FML
Today, my cat got outside and had the bright idea to walk in the middle of the road, right as a car was coming. The driver didn't notice him, so I had to sprint over there, leap into the road, and toss my cat to safety. He's fine, aside from being soaked (he landed in a puddle), but I've felt better. FML
Today, I had to take my cat to the vet. On the way there, he managed to get out of his cage, climb into the front seat, onto my chest, and howl in my face as I tried to drive down the highway. I ended up with stitches and still got charged for missing my cat's appointment. FML
Today, I swerved to miss hitting a kitten, over-corrected, hit and killed the cat, and totaled my truck by hitting a parked car. FML
Today, I ran over a cat while driving home. I tried to keep myself together but couldn't help but cry because of how bad I felt. Through my tears I failed to notice a porcupine in the middle of the road. Yep, I hit him too. FML
Today, I was walking my husky when she saw a cat and bolted toward it. I couldn't let go of the leash because my hand was tangled up. Forced to run along, I ran into a parked van at full sprint. I lost my dog, broke two ribs and have to pay for the dent in the van. FML
Today, I got into my truck after a long day at work, only to notice that a large section of the seats and doors had been destroyed by a feral cat that had somehow gotten trapped inside. I’m still not sure how it got in. FML
Today, a stray cat climbed up into my car's engine for shelter at some point last night. Guess how I found out this morning. FML
Today, someone did a hit and run on my car hard enough to knock it onto the curb from its parking spot, destroying the bumper. They didn't leave any info behind. After taking care of police reports and such, I got home and took off my shoes just to step in a puddle of my roommate's horrible cat's diarrhea. FML
Today, I was driving down the road when a dog suddenly ran across the street. In attempt to spare its life, I swerved to the side of the road and rear-ended another car. The car I hit belonged the family who owned the dog. Now I have to pay them because I saved their dog's life. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Wow, its so amazingly disgusting how so many people would throw an animal's life away so casually when it could be saved. There are people here who actually suggested running the cat over yourself, that's so cruelly inhumane I felt sick after reading it. Its obvious a lot of people here don't know the slightest thing about cats apart from the stereotypes they see on TV. Firstly, cats will get run over, as will dogs, neither of them know about cars or car safety. Second, people who keep cats aren't insane. Third, most cats you see will be domesticated and will behave quite normally when picked up, its only a rare few that will actually scram you if you go near them, some cats are just skittish and run away when approached. How does attempting to save an animal's life make someone a hippy? Does it really sound like this person takes recreational drugs, travels in beat-up vehicles (their current vehicle's condition notwithstanding) and protests regularly? Or are the people on here just jumping to stupid, ignorant conclusions based on this person's compassion for an animal's life?

This is the internet. You've changed no one's minds. You're wasting your time and ours. Leave the net to the professional trolls.

YDI for not putting the car in park and for picking up a cat that could have disease without anything to cover your hands, etc., with, but it was very honorable for you to stop and pick up the poor cat. It would have been run over otherwise.

good intention, but trying to pick of an obviously scared cat in the middle of the road... not a good idea
