Today, my instructor turned up late to get me for my driving test. I soon realized something was seriously wrong. Turned out his wife left him last night, and he'd been drinking the pain away all morning. He ended up rear-ending another car, and now I have to reschedule my test. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, while I was taking my driver's test, my instructor received a text message. He promptly had a panic attack and screamed for me to pull over. It turned out his wife wanted a divorce. The last 15 minutes of my test consisted of him sobbing to himself as I drove back to the DMV. FML
Today, as I was taking the driver's test to get my license, I backed into a car. It belonged to the instructor sitting in my passenger seat. FML
Today, I was rear-ended while at a stop sign, by my driving instructor. FML
Today, I was nervous as hell for my driving test. The instructor told me to drive a straight line in reverse. I forgot to put the car in reverse from drive and drove straight into a parked vehicle. Which happened to be owned by the instructor. FML
Today, I hit a parked car. It happened to be my driving instructor's car. While he was instructing me, sitting in the passenger seat. I don't think I'll pass. FML
Today, I passed my driver's test. As I was driving home, I was rear-ended. Rear-ended by the examiner that'd passed me. FML
Today, I started my job as a driving instructor. My first client showed up piss drunk. FML
Today, I had my first driving test. The instructor turned out to be the kind of twit who made me do the full 60-minute test, only to tell me afterwards that he was failing me for the only mistake I made less than 2 minutes after the test started. Time wasting tit. FML
Today, I went to take my driver's test, and I did almost everything perfectly. The last thing was to back into a driveway. As I went to put my hand on the passenger seat to look over my shoulder, I got so nervous that I hit my instructor in the face. FML
Today, I took my driver's test. I was confident and thought everything would go well. My boss ended up calling me several times during the test. Turns out my colleague never showed up to cover for me, and my boss blamed me. Not only did I fail my test, I'm now suspended from work too. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I agree that is definitely FYL. On the bright side you didn't get hurt

Heart broken or not he must've known that was the worst possible idea. Should have called in sick.

Wow, this is a **** both of your lives... Hope he gets his life sorted out soon and that you didn't have to pay for the "lesson". It gives you first hand experience with the effects of drink driving though!

Oh boo hoo, poor you. His wife leaves him and you complain about your test being pushed back.

The driving instructors personal problems should not have gotten in the way of his job. Sure, it sucks his wife left him, but neither of us know the details of that, so we can't really make good judgement on whether his wife is good or bad. But that's not the situation at hand. OP's driving education is being pushed back because his driving instructor has a shit way of handling his problems and clearly needs help. That's not OP's fault and OP shouldn't have throw a pity party for a grown man. So yeah, I think it's okay that OP was a bit frustrated with the whole situation.

I don't see the problem. Just reschedule your test with a different instructor.

#17, you don't see the problem?! OP's instructor pulled a DUI out of his ass. Had he actually gotten to his/her's house, there could've been serious issues. I'm glad OP wasn't in the car with him...

I took it as OP was in the car with him at the time of the accident, "realized something was seriously wrong", I thought was the implication.

The instructor is just showing you all the things you shouldn't do on your road test. Hope you took good notes, OP.

The driving instructors personal problems should not have gotten in the way of his job. He handled his situation poorly and clearly needs help. How unprofessional of him. You really could've gotten hurt had he actually made it to your house. Count your blessings and reschedule OP, that's the most you can do in this situation.

FYL OP! I feel bad for you because he was late from a DUI accident. I also feel bad for him about his wife leaving him. Heartbreak is tough; however, it was very wrong of him to not call in sick. Hope everything gets better for the both of you!

Why was he driving during your test

Exactly what I'm thinking. This was instruction not a test btw. He should've drove to OP's house or their meeting place. Then OP should've been driving. My instructor never drove with me in the car, I drove. The whole point is for ME to learn how to drive. Not him. Something seems off with this story.

The both of upu need to learn how to read. OP never made it to their test. OP's instructor never made it. The instructor was never driving during the test because there was no test. OP had to reschedule said test. The instructor rear ended someone resulting in him being late. The instructor should've known better. OP probably had to find a new instructor because of their instructor causing an accident from driving under the infiuence of alcohol.
