Today, my 25-year-old daughter, who normally doesn't drive, was out using the family car when she came back annoyed and emotional over the "stupid" cars heating being broken. She said no matter how high she turned it up it was still blowing cold air. I checked and it was set to A/C the entire time. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I took my car in because the AC had stopped working. The mechanic turned it on, pressed one button, and cold air started blasting. I'd seemingly switched it to heat three months ago. FML
Today, I visited my mom because I don't see her much due to her living 30 minutes away from me. They just recently fixed their AC. A few hours before I was about to leave, it broke again. I tried to be patient but it heated up to over 80 degrees inside, and I'm really sensitive to heat. Thankfully they weren't offended. FML
Today, the AC broke in the car I bought brand new last August. My 3.5-year-old hates wind, even from the sunroof being open, and there's no fix for the "manufacturing defect" so far. FML
Today, my mom made me go shopping with her. It was freezing out, but she didn't wear a coat, boasting that she doesn't feel the chill like I do. By the time we drove home she was whining about freezing to death, and now I'm stuck in a house whose heating is set to "inferno". FML
Today, while riding in the car with my mother, we got into an argument, at which point she pulled the vehicle over, took the key out of the ignition and used it to turn off the passenger airbag. She then continued driving in silence. FML
Today, I had to share a car with my dad and stepmother. My stepmother managed to get hammered at lunch and spent the hour-long car trip drunkenly mistaking the heating controls for the radio. FML
Today, my daughter got upset because, even though I bought the car for her when she got her license, I told her it was her responsibility to pay the tax, insurance and MOT every year. End result, my daughter is a selfish brat and I returned the car, but lost a bunch of my deposit money. FML
Today, I took my grandmother for a spin in my new car. Apparently, she had no idea that seat-warmers exist and that hers was turned on, because fifteen minutes into the ride she started shouting, "My ass is on fire!" causing me to swerve into a pole. FML
Today, I climbed into my junky old car and was pleasantly surprised that the AC came on. I patted the dash and said, "Thanks, buddy." Ten minutes later, as I was tearing down the highway, the engine threw a rod. FML
Today, I took my 15 year-old daughter driving. I yelled at her for not going safely around corners. On the way home, while demonstrating how to drive right, I went around a corner and hit a cement truck. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Medical conditions can be a major hindrance to trying to drive. Try driving down the interstate and having your shoulder dislocate while you drive 70 MpH and having to make to to the next rest area before you can relocate your shoulder. Or being so anxious that the person next to you having a bout of road rage sends you into a panic attack. Some people just can't drive, and nor should they.

Driving isn't for everyone. Some people can't afford it, with the cost of a car, insurance, gas, and any repairs, it can be expensive. Sharing or borrowing someone else's car has its risks too. Some people just get driven everywhere, so they don't need it. Also, others just don't like driving. One of my aunts didn't get her license until a few year ago, when she was like 45, cause it made her nervous so she just took transit everywhere.

Most likely doesn't have a reason to be driving all the time. Maybe work is close to home or other essentials that are retrievable within walking distance. Maybe she just doesn't like driving. Who knows but age definitely is irrelevant. Comparing it to your own self is pretty ignorant too. Not everyone is like you.

Hmm... I always have my car on A/C and on heat and always blows hot air... I use A/C so my windows don't fog up as much, and so it isn't so humid in my car...

I'm trying not to be bitter, but DAMN, I've submitted much better FMLs and not gotten published. Sadness

Oy, think you kinda failed at the whole "not trying to be bitter" thing...

in my car, a 2010, i leave the A/C button on and only fiddle with the temperature knob. i find that if i turn it off, the air smells and feels weird, which according to other comments is humidity, so mystery solved for me i suppose. :)

That awkward moment when knowing A/C can be hot and cold... its not called cold conditioner, its called air conditioner... it mostly removes mositure out of the air and can be either cold or hot depending what you want. Sounds like you have a broken blend door. Tips from a mechanic. Yes I know this is a year old.
