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

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, on my way home, a truck driver was speeding next to me and as he passed I saw his truck was the kind that takes livestock to be butchered. I was thinking that I didn’t look to see if there were animals in there. Suddenly, brown items hit my windshield. Yes, it didn’t "hit the fan," it hit my car. FML
Today, I was driving around a parking lot, looking for an empty spot. Someone was backing out a bit too quickly as I was about to pass by, so I honked to announce myself. The driver instead panicked and reversed into my front bumper. FML
Today, I got rear-ended at a stop sign on a seldom used road in my neighborhood. As I open my car door to trade insurance information with the guy, he backs up a little and speeds away, taking my car door with him. FML
Today, I was stopped behind a pickup truck filled with junk. I told my friend that the person should have secured the junk better, since it looked like it would fall off any minute. My friend assured me it wouldn't. Right after she said that, a large piece of plywood fell off and hit my windshield. FML
Today, I was loading a very large box into my hatchback. I was really struggling, and a few people walked by and laughed. Then a car pulled up and waited for the spot. There isn't a spring to hold my trunk open, so it slammed onto my head. Twice. The car honked for me to hurry up. FML
Today, I was driving in my very own car that I bought and paid for myself, when I stopped at a stop light. Then I noticed the truck in front of me turn on his reverse lights. I honked desperately. He hits me, looks out the window and says, "I see no damage" and drives away. FML
Today, I was driving behind a tall truck when it drove through some overhanging branches. Suddenly, a huge branch fell on top of my car, leaving it scratched all over and with several dents in the roof. FML
Today, I was driving home from work and noticed the car behind me was tailgating me pretty badly. I was starting to get angry with the driver, and kept glancing in my rear view mirror at him. While I was doing so, the traffic ahead of me stopped, and I rear-ended the car in front of me. FML
Today, while driving home from work, I heard a loud crash immediately followed by the sound of wind and shifting glass over my head. My sunroof exploded for no perceptible reason 5 days before Christmas. FML
Today, while driving into work, a guy cut me off and I yelled some nasty things out of my window at him. He heard me, followed me to work, took a baseball bat out and then chased me into the office. He also smashed my windshield on his way out. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

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).

Amazing glass, dude. I wish my car's glass could dent, it only breaks when hit with a flying object. Oh, and the wind must have been pretty strong to send a box into another lane.

Your windshield wouldn't break because of a box, shatter-resistant glass has to have a very small and powerful area of contact (like a glass break on a knife) in order to shatter.

When you accelerate, you move faster. And because the truck was moving faster, it was ahead of this guy. It might not have fallen out as soon as he accelerated

You should have just waited for some boxes to fall out and make off with the goods...what's he gonna do chase you with his UPS truck.

I'm not sure how a box that flew out of the back of his truck hit your windshield if you were driving alongside of him. Dented windshield, though, I understand. I've seen it before. So while this line doesn't make it seem fake, and actually adds to the credibility of the poster... There is no way that that box swooped around their truck to attack your windshield on its own. >.>

Shit, that happened to me once when I was on my way to school. Although, we were in a turning lane so he didn't think we were passing him. I hope you called UPS and bitched! They should pay for your windshield because of his negligence

How's that possible? Your speeding up in the next lane. If a box were to fall out and hit the car, it would hit the car that was behind you before you did a lane change. Unless that box was secrectly a boomerang box and targeted your car. Just saying.
