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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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).

65, what the ****? please speak english, before you go around calling others "retards", at least make sure you don't look like a retard yourself. ps. i love how people overreact and over analyze FML's so much.

I used to work for UPS and I can tell you UPS truck doors don't just open up by them selfs. It takes quite a bit of force to open them from the driver. Second the packages are kept on the sides of the truck not in front of the door. Third how do you dent a windsheild? Fake FML, YDI.

Um you can't dent a windshield. You either break the windshield or it's fine. So I agree it's fake.

These comments are better than the FML! OMFG WHAT IF THA WINSHEILD DIDN"T WORK RIGHT ZOMGWTFDAWG!!?!!!.... FYL. All of them. Citing physics in an attempt to sound intelligent merely points out your TOTAL lack of reading comprehension, as other people have pointed out. Windshields denting might have been a mistake (not everyone rereads something before they post it..), a combination between a dented hood and cracked windshield, or a substantial chip out of the windshield that didn't shatter the whole thing. Have you ever tried to pick up a box travelling at highway speed towards you while you're INSIDE a MOVING vehicle? You can't exactly catch it and keep it unless it goes THROUGH your windshield into your car, in which case you'd most likely panic and lose control and have a substantially more morbid FML (posted by estate?).

UPS drivers are the worst. I swear, the company must hire people either right out of driving school or right out of prison.

So that's why my package is late. At least UPS has deep pockets.

For you little nit-pickers...the UPS truck sped up, moving him in front of the other car. The box did no sort of magical feat by flying backwards. Don't always assume everyone is lying and wrong. No need to find faults in all of their posts..it is the internet..and not an important site at that. Anyone live in Mass.? Anyone find my cigs. in Mass last night? *sigh
