Today, my father took me out for some driving lessons. Out of nowhere, a huge, apparently suicidal bird dove into the windshield, putting a crack in it. My father yelled at me as if it was my fault, and is demanding I pay for the repairs. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my husband thought it would be funny to drive my car through a flock of vultures eating road kill. Since a bird hit the mirror and broke it, I now have to pay for a replacement. FML
Today, as I was driving, a bird swooped down, right in front of my car. I didn't have enough time to react, and so I had to listen to my wife cry the rest of the way home. She kept talking about how it bounced off the windshield and how it probably had a family. FML
Today, I was driving my 7-year-old daughter to school, when out of nowhere a bird smashed into the windshield. Instead of screaming or being traumatized by the gore like me, my daughter started laughing, eventually calling the bird a "stupid bastard". FML
Today, as I was driving home from work, a bird decided to commit suicide by flying in front of my car. The shock caused me to slam on the brakes, totaling three other cars in the process. FML
Today, I was driving home on the highway with my wife and her parents. As I overtook another car, a rock got kicked up into our windshield. My wife screamed about the crack it created, while my mother-in-law goaded her on and mocked my "piss-poor driving." FML
Today, I spent an hour and a half washing my car. As I was driving down the highway, a large bird flew over my car and accidentally dropped the dead animal he was about to have for dinner. It landed on my windshield. FML
Today, my dad was driving me to college. I'd cracked a joke about how old people like him shouldn't be allowed to drive, and I guess he took it personally, what with him speeding straight up to the parking lot wall, and only braking after I started shrieking in terror. FML
Today, my father took me out for some driving lessons. I accidentally reversed while still in the driveway, and I instinctively hit the brakes. In my panic, I accidentally let go of the brakes, and ended up reversing straight into our house, all while my father yelled "NOOOOOO!" FML
Today, my son broke a window at school playing football. Not only did he break one, he broke the other window next to it. His excuse? He tried making it look like a bird flew in one way and flew out the other. I have to pay $800 to fix it. FML
Today, I was driving my parrot home from the vet. As I was driving home, I decided to let her sit on my shoulder. Something scared her, and she started flapping in my face, causing me to crash my car into a tree. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Your dad is just trying to save face because there really is no one to blame for it. Try and explain to him it isn't your fault, otherwise you would have gladly paid. Don't flip him the bird though.

It's like Angry Birds in real life.

That sucks, man. So not your fault. Sometimes people lash out at someone who's nearby because they don't know what else to do. Maybe offer to pay half?

Birds like to **** with you. This is my fear when birds swoop in front of my car.

with all respect op, your dad is a ******* asshole, tell him to **** a catus, explain him i is not your fault and don't pay. if possible, keep distance from him.

That's okay, OP! Yesterday I ran over a nail (which I naturally could not see from inside my truck), but it's apparently all my fault that my tire popped. Dads are just like that sometimes.

Did you say you were soar-y?

Study's have shown that birds can judge how fast cars are going, hence why they always get out of the way at the last minute, if you've hit the bird, it means you were speeding, so you're obviously at fault, though it does suck to be you

if birds can judge how fast a car is going, speeding really wouldnt make a difference.

Holy dimbat, check this dude out. 'You must have been speeding cause you hit a bird!?' Erm.. What?!

I bet it was a swan trying to do a swan dive.

My mother spoke of how in a love affair between two swans, that if one of them died, the other committed suicide, thus why they're such powerful symbols of love

Your fault because you didn't bother calling the suicide hotline

yeah not your fault, but if you want to use the car, seems reasonable that you're responsible enough to repair it.

Not always. That's just a rediculous assumption to make. What if it's the only car they have, and the OP has no choice but to learn in it for one reason or another? A learning driver is bound to make all sorts of mistakes and cause at least SOME damage to the car, and if that's a risk you're not willing to take, fork out money for professional lessons. When I got my license, we only had the one car. I backed into our fence and took paint off it, and my mum said not to worry about it when I offered to pay for it to be repainted. I was the one who had been driving the car when I came out of McDonald's to find someone had smashed the back window, and again I offered to pay for it but was told not to worry about it because it wasn't my fault. Hell, even a few weeks ago I got rear-ended, and the car's unfixable because of how hard I was hit. Again, my mother and her boyfriend don't give a single shit about the car because I was okay. TL;DR Only a **** of a father would make their child pay for something that wasn't their fault.
