Today, it's been two weeks since I honked, screamed, and cussed at a cyclist on the road. Since then, my car has been keyed, my tires have been slashed, bricks have been thrown at my windows, and my number has been put on Craigslist as a gay prostitute. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I accidentally hit someone's car while in the supermarket car park. I left a note, went shopping, and when I came back my windows were shattered, my tires were slashed, and "FUCK YOU" was written on my windshield. FML
Today, I broke up with my boyfriend because he has anger issues. Tonight, my tires were slashed. FML
Today, a woman who I have spoken to approximately twice in my life, asked me out. I turned her down in the most harmless way I could. Three hours later, I found my car keyed and my windshield wipers gone. FML
Today, I walked out of my boyfriend's house to see my car window smashed in and my steering wheel cover stolen. I was only staying at his place because there had been a rash of vehicle break-ins in my neighborhood. FML
Today, my motorcycle was stolen. If that wasn't bad enough, the thief drove past me. Twice. 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
Today, I came out to my parents as gay and they reacted better than I expected. Then I found my car destroyed with a note that said "fag" on what used to be my hood. I never thought I'd have to sue my own family, but I'm lucky I have security footage. FML
Today, I rode my bike to work. While biking on the road, I gave a hand signal for turning left. A car passing the opposite way veered towards me and attempted to give me a high five. I now have cuts all over my body and my bike is in two pieces. FML
Today, some blowhard on a motorcycle yelled at me for jaywalking, causing him to almost hit a dumpster. He picked up and threw an empty beer can at me when I started giggling at the sticker on the front of his helmet that said, "If you can read this, I have lost my caravan." FML
Today, I was walking down the street, when a car started cruising alongside me. I looked over, annoyed, at which point the driver started screaming obscenities and telling me that I'm "gonna get it" for "betraying" him, before angrily speeding off. I'm too scared to even sleep now. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

In my area cyclists constantly say "share the road" however they routinely ignore traffic laws and cut people off and ride in travel lanes instead of the shoulder, they will cross through intersections despite the light being red (they are supposed to wait for a green light, just like a car).

thank you, this happens to me all of the time. sometimes, they'll ride side by side in the middle of the road and motorcyclists will pass on a double yellow line. I just stand my ground, I can't do anything about it. but it's not my fault if they get in a crash

Looks like the cyclist knows you very well. Adress, phone number... Don´t you recognize the guy?

There's never any need to yell and cuss at anyone. Furthermore I'd like to know why OP felt the need to do this? Who was in the wrong here? I always respect cyclists in the road because that's where they belong, that being said I've been cut off by a few morons running reds on their damn bikes. Honk and get on with your life.

How did the cyclist get your phone number...?

You can get an alarming amount of information on someone from their license plate.

I don't like driving by cyclists either, but you shouldn't be an ass about it.

Maybe learn your lesson and don't act like a dick to others for no reason. Being s cyclist on the roads is pretty dangerous thanks to people like OP. If you're in a car you're way more protected than if you're on a bike, respect cyclists and keep your distance.

1. Anyone who says that OP deserves to have their property vandalized is a complete moron. 2. Yes, cyclists have rights to the road, just like motorists. Neither group owns the road and they have to respect each other. When I'm in my car, I try to present as little danger to cyclists as possible. When I'm on my bike, I try to present as little danger to motorists as possible. The ultimate goal is minimizing my risk. 3. Is honking, screaming and cursing excessive? Yes, but I'd rather a driver honks, screams and curses at me than make me into a hood ornament. 4. OP, get a surveillance camera. Catch the guy in the act and send the video to police.

I love how you presented both sides. Most people were one sided about it, while I was kind of on both. I know lots of people on bikes who don't follow the laws and make things dangerous and very frustrating, especially since the car would likely be held accountable regardless, at least where I live. I've also seen many, many drivers that make things dangerous and frustrating. Regardless, OP doesn't deserve harassment and destruction of property just for being honking and cursing.

Karma, squitch. ?

Despite the offense to the cyclist (who may have actually deserved it), this consequence is disturbingly disproportionate.

I think honking on its on would've been enough... Side note: How'd they get your phone number?
