Today, my car wouldn't start, so I had to wait for AAA. Then, hurrying to pick up my brother, I got a $161 speeding ticket. Twenty minutes later, I got a call from him saying he didn't need a ride anymore. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, on my way for a vacation, my car started misfiring, so I called a tow truck. Forty minutes later, the tow truck arrived. He then said that he had just gotten another priority call, so he was leaving, and someone would be back in another hour to get us. FML
Today, I returned home from a 2-day trip. Before I left, I told my brother to move my car across the street when the street cleaner passes by. Turns out, he used all my gas and got so wasted he forgot to move my car. I got a big ticket that he said he'd pay for. He's unemployed and lives off me. FML
Today, I got a speeding ticket in the mail, at the same time as my car was getting towed. FML
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
Today, I went out to my car to run some errands. It wouldn't start. I called AAA, only to find out my battery wasn't dead, it was stolen. FML
Today, my car is still in the shop, so I asked my psycho brother to drive me to the mall. He sped up to nearly 20 km/h over the speed limit, so I shouted for him to stop before he got us both killed. He hit the brakes in the middle of an intersection, and wouldn't move again until I got out. FML
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, after I just finished a 16-hour double shift, my brother asked me to ride with him to do an Instacart. While delivering these people’s groceries, his car overheated and oil light came on. He had no money, so I had to fix and pay for the parts. FML
Today, I had to drive down to my parents' house. On they way down, I needed to fill up on gas but unfortunately I'd forgotten my wallet at home with all of my cash and credit cards. I then had to call triple A and explain to them in all seriousness how I ran out of gas at the gas station. FML
Today, coming home from a trip in the mountains, I got a cracked radiator and my car overheated. My dad came to get me, he drove my car and I followed in his. I got pulled over and ticketed for his expired registration. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

She may not be on all the time, but the moment you say something against the rules, she is. So be careful.

Vanni may not be on all the time, but there are many moderators. As I understand it, it's watched all the time; the mods just don't say much or interact with users often. If you have a pertinent question, you can PM her directly. Otherwise, I wouldn't expect an answer to a question like the one you've asked.

What makes you assume she's on all the time? I hardly ever see her post. I would send her a personal PM, like Jane said, because I doubt she'll respond.

Aah, read Vanni's profile, Anna. zp5: The profile says she's almost always online, not necessarily moderating. Again, email or private message her if you need to. If you're on the app, you have to send PMs from the Your Account section of the website.

I understand your situation and I'd be pissed too if I got a ticket trying to help someone out but think about it. What if a cop hadn't pulled you (or maybe someone else like you) over for speeding and instead you had been able to speed towards your brother. Then instead of seeing this post here I instead saw the following post from another person: Today, I decided to take my 5 year old son to buy some ice cream from across the street that I had been promising him for days. While crossing the street a speeding car hit us and now my son is in critical condition. FML.
