Today, I was driving behind a UPS truck. All of a sudden his back door opens up exposing some boxes ready to fall out. Like a good driver I speed up to drive beside him to tell him. He thought I was trying to cut him off so he accelerated. A box flies out and dents my windshield. FML

I know some are going to either say "Mind your own business, YDI" or "Sorry to hear about that." I think it was actually nice of you to do what you felt was right. In a normal situation the UPS driver's irresponsibility would've exposed other drivers to potential hazards. Since most of us don't have UPS customer service on speed-dial, there's not much else you could've really done to help. BTW: I won't say "first" like the other losers out there who claim that they do this mainly because they've never been first at anything in life (No joke, one guy said that and caused others in the comments to admit his comment was more FML than the OP's).

Wow. Dented glass. You, sir, have an amazing vehicle. You should call your manufacturer and thank them. They've sold you a prototype.

Windshields have an layer of plastic or something, so it wont fall apart if something hits it. That way it is possible to have a dented windshield.

I don't know why his comment got voted down so much. It's true. They're made to be shatter resistant, so it could crack and warp into a convex shape, or as some may say, a dent.

bricks obviously would have smashed the windshield!

A dented windshield? Where the Hell can I get a windshield that gets dented instead of cracked?!

maybe he was about to change lanes and the box fell out of the left side of the truck

a lot of windshields nowadays aren't fully glass like a glass window in your house, but super flexible safety glass. That way they won't totally shatter if hit and have glass shards going everywhere. If you ever see an action movie where the windshield's hit and it just cracks all over but stays as one piece, it's like that. Also, while I did say FYL b/c you really were trying to do a nice thing, depending on what state you're in (say NY or NJ), I would probably think that someone's trying to cut me off in a situation like that, too.

Wow, the comments are written intelligently today. Or well, #1 and #9. Nice thing to do, but I agree with #9 completely. I would've thought the same thing.
