Today, I was working as a service writer in an auto service shop. A really cute girl came in to buy a headlight, I offered to install the bulb for her. My hand got stuck behind the headlight, she had to ask one of our mechanics to come remove the air box from her car to get my hand out. FML

Today, after parking my car, I was informed by an incredibly hot girl that my tail light was faulty. I tried hitting it to make it work again. Guess who has 5 stitches and a smashed tail light? FML

Today, I pulled over to help a girl with her car. I thought my limited mechanic skills would help look like a hero. She only needed her coolant cap unscrewed. With top down, shirt off, I was confident as I got out of my car. 10 minutes later I left because I couldn't unscrew the f***ing thing. FML

Today, I went out with a girl I've been dating. I dropped her off and she finally asked me if I wanted to come in. When I did, she asked me to change a light bulb in her kitchen, and then promptly sent me home. FML

Today, I thought I'd be a suave gentleman by opening the car door for my date. The handle came off in my hand, and I had to spend the next 15 minutes pretending I was doing an impromptu repair on my piece of shit car, when I had no idea what I was doing. FML

Today, a nice couple came in to buy a car. I offered to drive it out from the line of cars for them, since it was a tight squeeze. They then watched as I managed to back it straight into another car, causing a large amount of damage to both. FML

Irony at a base level

Today, I was standing around looking out the window at work when it became really dark and windy and started to pour. I watched a shopping cart fly across the parking lot thinking how funny it'd be if it hit someone's car. It hit mine. I need a new headlight. FML

Today, my girlfriend decided it would be cute to leave a love letter in my car while I was at work. She left my lights on. I got a dead battery. FML

Today, I went in my car to a very important job interview. I was out of gas, so I had to get some on the way. When i was done pumping, I went to get back in and the door handle broke off on the driver's side. Then I blew a tire on a piece of metal. Needless to say, I lost my chance. FML

Today, I waited 3 hours and paid $360 to have a routine tuneup done on my old car. As I pulled into my driveway, about to turn off the engine, one of my headlights blew. FML

I think it's cute when a guy tries to impress a girl and goofs up, you're only human.

I would say you deserve it, had you not been trying to do something nice for someone else. Still, don't try to show off with tasks you aren't adept at!

#5 It doesn't really sound like he was being nice, it sounds like he was chasing tail. Why else mention that he found her attractive? Sounds like YDI.

18 - I think OP was just trying to do his job, and the fact that she was cute made it even more embarrassing.

I hope you don't get a job mopping up in a hospital . . . suddenly "really cute girls" start dying like flies because they are getting surgery from some overzealous janitor!

LOLLLL hilarious. Yeah its definitely a ydi, cute girls shouldn't be getting free stuff for their cuteness. That's unfair to all us men with broken down cars!

You could've turned this into a positive situation with the use of humor about the size of your hand. It could've been funny. Instead, you turned it into a pity party, and this is why you touch yourself at night.
