Today, my car broke down. I pulled to the side of the road to call a tow truck. After waiting what seemed like hours, the tow truck showed up, and then ran into the back of my car. FML

Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my car broke down on the highway, and I had to call for a tow truck. It finally showed up, only to break down too less than a mile later. Cue nearly freezing to death while we waited for help to arrive for the both of us. FML

Today, my car was towed. After taking a cab all the way to the lot for $45 and paying the $250 fee to get my car back, my car broke down in the impound lot and needed to be towed to the nearest shop, where it took another $200 to fix, and $50 for the towing. I still have a 3-hour drive home. FML
Today, my fiancée wrecked my car so I had to use my other car to pick her up. Ten minutes after I did, my other car broke down in the middle of the road and I had to get it towed. My insurance covers none of these incidents. FML
Today, while on my way to work, I had a tire blowout. I got the car towed and borrowed my mom’s so that I could still get to work. Her car seized and died on the expressway ramp. It’s not in any tow truck’s jurisdiction. FML

Today, my car broke down dead in the middle of the highway. As I was unable to get it out of the road, it was impounded, and my insurance won't help. Now I'm further in debt and struggling to get to work. FML
Today, our boat broke down in the middle of a lake at sunset. We called our friend for help, and his truck and trailer got stuck in mud at the boat ramp. We called the sheriff's office to tow his vehicle out of the mud. The tow strap broke. FML

Did you need to call a tow truck for the tow truck?

Hope you have insurance! It clearly wasn't your fault anyway so if not they'll have to pay for it.

Ohio? Slick snowy roads? I can see that happening. I can't imagine what it's like to drive in those type of conditions. I'm in Miami, FL and it's 81 degrees here!

#26, that's too bad. Getting rear-ended in the snow can be a lot of fun. ;)

idk where you live but in Houston tow trucks are like sharks. they get to the scene of an accident before emergency response! lol its a common joke where we live actually. its because our tow truck guys get paid by the number of tows they do.

I feel like, as a tow truck driver, they should be better drivers than the average commuter. Sorry that happened to you, car insurance is a pain >.
