Today, I slid on ice and hit another car while driving to work. My car was totalled, and my leg hurt, while the other car had very little damage. Not two minutes later, the salt truck drove by, spraying the road. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I lost control of my car on a patch of ice and slid off the road, messing up my car. I was working on a news story about bad road conditions. FML
Today, it was snowing. I slipped on the ice and fell in the middle of the road, dislocating my left shoulder and knee. As I was screaming in pain and trying to stand up, two boys on the pavement threw snowballs at me while everyone in the cars just drove around me. FML
Today, I had a bad feeling about walking to work because of the weather. Instead, I drove. My car slid on the ice and I created a four-car pile up. All three of the other people involved have decided to sue me. I should've walked. FML
Today, the roads were OK, so I cleaned the ice and snow off my car so I could go out. I rolled my window down a little bit while I was driving to clear the snow off the base of the window. A chunk of ice flew off my hood, in through the window, and hit my eye. I then hit a snowbank. FML
Today, I drove into the parking lot at work, and discovered too late that there were patches of ice everywhere. As I turned to enter my usual spot, I lost control of the vehicle, and despite my pleas, praying, and profanity, it glided straight into my boss's car. FML
Today, I had two accidents in my car: one when a truck drove into its rear end, the other immediately after when my own rear end released its load onto the seat. FML
Today, I stepped out of my car and slipped on a fresh coating of ice on the ground. I tried to catch myself by grabbing the car on my way down, but unfortunately, I was trying to grab with the hand that was holding my car keys. I key-scratched my own car. FML
Today, as I was driving to a conference two hours away, a giant piece of ice fell off a truck and did severe damage to my car's hood and busted the front light. The car was a few months old with around 5000 miles on it. FML
Today, I thought I'd wear my snow boots so I wouldn't slip on the ice at work. I crashed my car because I can't feel the pedals with my boots on. FML
Today, as I was crossing the slush covered street to catch the bus, I slipped and fell right in the middle of the road. A woman in a car rolled down her window. She didn't ask if I was okay but just laughed and took a picture of me covered in cold, wet slush. FML

Nothing like adding a little salt to the wound?

My thoughts exactly :) This actually crossed my mind BEFORE realizing that salt melts ice. (I live in a very hot country, not too familiar)

You hit someone because you were driving too fast for the conditions. it sucks, but it is your fault; deal with it. If the salt truck passed by two minutes before you instead of two minutes after then it probably wouldn't have made any difference because ice doesn't just disappear in an instant. You're a bad driver and you hit someone. Learn to drive better and stop blaming others for your mistakes. YDI

No but it's her fault for not slowing down in conditions like that.

Ok- have you people ever driven on ice? you don't have to be going fast at all, or doing something stupid. just a week ago, i was going a whole 12 Miles an hour, (and didn't turn or brake) and the ice took my car into a spin clear across the street, spun around and then back to other side.. nothing i could do except thank whoever's out there looking out for me that there were no other cars around. So def FYL Op, glad ur ok.

Remember, this isnt your fault, it was just poor weather condition. I had the same experience just last friday, i was driving 40 km/h on a 60 and ironically, i skidded and was trying to turn left and braking to prevent the accident, but i crashed into a wall that was right outside a store. if you get sued, you can take this up to city hall.

The only reason I'm saying YDI is because if you were driving slowly, your car wouldn't have been totaled. Dented, maybe. You are either exaggerating, or you were speeding on ice, which is asking for trouble. It's not your fault if you slide a bit on ice, but it IS your fault if you were driving fast when it's slippery.

You definitely live far enough north being in Ohio to understand that you must drive carefully in winter. If you cannot grasp that and continue to go fast enough to total your freaking car you are a raging moron. Salt is not instant and doesn't give quite enough traction to halt blatant stupidity like driving fast on an icy road YDI

Inexperienced drivers might wanna buy ice tires. Thicker grooves, more handling, and better grip on icy roads.

Oh, sucks for you. I would have cussed out the road crews.
