Today, my family and I were on a road trip. Everything was fine until we discovered that my dad, the driver, was not only fast asleep, he was also snoring. We were in the middle of the highway. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my uncle was driving my mom and me to his house. We caught him nodding off numerous times, and I'm pretty sure he actually fell asleep at least once. We were on the highway. The car suddenly started swerving several times whenever he was getting sleepy. I think I have some grey hairs now. FML
Today, I fell asleep in a taxi. So did the taxi driver. FML
Today, after a long work shift, I was so tired that I took a nap in my car to avoid driving half-asleep. When I awoke, there was a huge truck in front of me. I thought I'd fallen asleep while driving and was about to die. I only realized it was stationary after I pissed myself. FML
Today, I was on a plane flying home and fell asleep. I woke up to my own snoring and everyone on the plane looking at me. FML
Today, I was watching a movie with my boyfriend and his parents, who I haven't known very long. I ended up falling asleep. That doesn't sound so bad, until I woke my drooling self up by snoring extremely loud. FML
Today, I discovered I have narcolepsy. During a driving test. FML
Today, I was really, REALLY tired at work. I went to the restroom to take a little break, and must have dozed off, because I was awoken by my boss, knocking on the door of the stall. Apparently, I had been snoring. FML
Today, I was in a bus headed to another city and fell asleep as did everyone else. I must've woken up last, because I half-snorted as I woke up and everybody heard. Now we’re on a coffee break and I can see them all snicker about it outside. FML
Today, I fell asleep on the bus after a long day. I woke up to the driver nudging me, saying, "End of the line, mate." I had no idea where I was, and it was raining. FML
Today, I farted myself awake, in a car full of my boyfriend's family. FML

I'm glad you guys managed to get out of that situation assuming no one got hurt. But that was pretty irresponsible of your dad like that, if he felt tired he should have pulled over to a resting area or swapped drivers.

Not saying that's a bad idea, but it's not that easy to just pull over and swap drivers and there isn't always a rest stop or place to stop. But I do agree that pulling over if he COULD would be a smart idea.

Getting off the highway and pulling over on the side of the road for a 20 minute nap is what he should have done. There's always a place to pull over, even if it's the side of the road somewhere, except for on the highway of course, or even a parking lot anywhere!

This is where drivers ed comes in handy, OP.

That is how I want to die, in my sleep. Not screaming in fear like my passengers.

I'm thinking that he sent this FML when he noticed his dad was sleeping. then woke him and and he freaked and crashed. that's y he hasn't done a follow up yet. (hope I'm not right)
