Today, my friend's van ran out of gas on an expressway off-ramp. After pushing it to the shoulder, we walked to a gas station and got a can of gas. We got back to the van to find that the battery had died from leaving on the lights and hazards to avoid an accident. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I went out with two friends for lunch. The van we took ran out of fuel, so we pushed it to a nearby gas station, a gas station suffering from a gas shortage. FML
Today, I picked up my car from the repair shop, drove two miles, and ran out of gas. I then walked to get gas, put a gallon of gas in the car, and tried to start it. The battery was too weak to start the car, and died on the spot. FML
Today, after my car died a mile from my house, I huffed, puffed and pushed it back to my house off the street, so I wouldn't get a ticket overnight. After getting it towed to the shop in the morning, I got a call telling me they put gas in it for me and it starts up fine now. FML
Today, I pulled into a parking lot, for the car to simply shut off because I ran out of gas. Then I couldn't get the key out of the ignition, so I called my dad, who walked all the way to where I was, only to find out that the car was still in drive. FML
Today, I pulled up to a stoplight and blew past the car beside me to merge into one lane. About 30 seconds later, I ran out of gas right in front of them. We were on a bridge, and I had to push my car all the way across. FML
Today, my car ran out of battery. I'm writing this from the middle of the road. FML
Today, I was driving to a gas station because I'd noticed I was almost on empty. Literally a block away from the gas station, my car broke down in the middle of an intersection, and I had to push my car to the side of the road, only to be questioned by police for "suspicious behavior." FML
Today, my minivan broke down on the side of the highway. I'm out of work and can't afford a cell phone, so I resorted to standing at the back of my van holding a "HELP" sign. About an hour went by, in which time I was passed by a cop car, a firetruck, and a car that said "Roadside Assistance." 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, I ran out of gas while driving, and had to call a tow truck. I drive a tow truck. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Hazards probably would have been fine, but headlights suck a lot more juice.

YDI. YOu should have paid attention to how much gas was in the tank. and common sense would have told you not to leave the lights on while the car was off.......

A dead battery isn't really an FML... more of an inconvenience. Especially if you have a cell phone. If you have a manual transmission, you can start your car even with a dead battery. Otherwise, find someone with a pair of jumper cables. And get some perspective on the real problems in life.

Seriously? You want to come on here every day and see 'Today, I found out I have cancer. It's terminal. FML' or 'Today I crashed my car killing my wife, 7 year old and baby. FML.' This websites supposed to be funny, not depressing. Most things on here aren't actually an FML.

She's average. "Beautiful" is a little too generous, but at least she'll still need a mask for Halloween.

One should have stayed with the car and one to go get gas .
