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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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, I walked to the end of my driveway to pick up the newspaper. I read the front page that was talking about people who have been getting hurt from slipping on ice. Laughing about that thought and walking up my driveway, I slipped. FML
Today, I tried to walk on the sidewalk. Actually, it was so slippery that I had to shimmy across it. Then I shimmied too quickly and fell down. Now everything hurts. Maybe next time I should bring a sled. FML
Today, I went on a hike. It had snowed the night before so I wore warm clothes. They didn’t help when I slipped and broke my leg. 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, 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, 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
Today, it was so cold that I had to put slippers over my slippers. FML
Today, I made the long drive to work, got out of the car, and realised that I'd forgotten to put shoes on before I left the house. FML
Today, I laced up my fabulous new boots and walked outside to find my hot neighbor, with whom I carpool every morning. I struck a pose, feeling quite confident. Upon taking my first step down the stairs, I fell forward. I woke up an hour later with 7 stitches in my head. FML

So your choice of footwear caused an accident, an excuse usually reserved for q-tips that drove thru a plate glass window. From now on please don't leave the house without being checked over by a responsible adult. ;)

It's not hard to drive in Snow boots; hell I'm from Scotland and I can do it. One pedal makes the car go faster, the other makes it brake, considering you're in Canada you probably don't even have to worry about a clutch. For the record - They're called pedals.

What's with all the confessions lately about morons that can't drive?

Um, I wear my snow boots all the time and don't have trouble feeling the resistance of the pedal. My girlfriend drives with her boots and they are even better then mine, built for negative fahrenheit degree weather. YDI either you have ridiculous boots or you're just blaming your boots for your lack of driving skills.

Can't feel the pedals with your boots on? What are they, ski boots? I wear my snow boots all the time and have never had a problem driving with them. You should have realized you couldn't feel the pedals when you got in the car, then went and got an extra pair of shoes to drive in. YDI.
