Today, my mom once again yelled at me for "driving erratically." She texts while driving 70 miles per hour on the highway, but apparently driving through a yellow light is "reckless." FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, my neighbor yelled at me for driving recklessly. I was going 35 mph, and she was stopped in the middle of a road around a blind curve. My "reckless driving" was slamming on the brakes so I wouldn't hit her. FML
Today, while in the car with my mom, she gave me a lecture about how bad of a driver I am. During that process she ran a red light and hit a car. FML
Today, while driving on the streets for the first time, my mom decided that it would be an appropriate time to yell at me for every single mistake I’ve ever made in my life. This stressed me out so much I began driving against traffic. FML
Today, I wrecked my car because my mom texted me, telling me not to text and drive. FML
Today, my mom was driving with my brothers and sister in the back seat. She was turned around talking to us, when my sister told my mom that she missed the light. She ran it, then screamed at us about not paying attention and noticing your surroundings. FML
Today, my mom drove my car and had to make a U-turn on a narrow street. Instead of slowing down, she sped up to turn, running off the road and denting my car. To make things worse, she blamed me for not giving her good directions, then followed that up with, "It's not that bad." FML
Today, I went driving for the first time with my mom. When she wasn't screaming, she gave great advice like, "Stop at the red light" and "Don't crash into cars". I need to drive 50 hours with her. FML
Today, while in the car with my mom, we accidentally ran over a dog who had sprinted into the road. Instead of stopping, my mom continued to drive as if nothing happened. Every time I tried to bring it up, she merely talked loudly over me. FML
Today, my mother started cursing at a lady for tooting her horn at her in traffic, because there was "no need for road rage." When I tried to calm her down, she slammed on the brakes and told me to get out and walk. FML
Today, I saw a woman run down my street screaming, "Fuck you cops! I can drive under the influence if I want to!" It took me a second to realize it was my mother. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

yes ur m is a hypocritical but as you are a new driver, avoid pushing the edge of the envelope until you get a year or two of experience.

Parents sometimes feel like they are way better drivers so they can do stuff like that especially if you are a student driver.

Lemme guess, "I have experience I can do that safely!" Trust me i know the feeling. The best thing to do is tell her that as soon as she stops doing that you'll stop driving through yellows.

Waw yellow means speed up hello every one knows that.

You're both in the wrong - she shouldn't be texting and you should stop at a yellow light when possible (e.g. if you're not too close to an intersection).

when i teach people to drive, my first rule is : "do as i say not as i do ...I have decades of bad habits behind me"

uGH RELATABLE. My stepmom does that, plus gets mad that i like to have the radio on. as payback (and because, yknow, i don't wanna die like that) i always get onto her for texting too. why do they do this.

My mom texts while she drives, so I started grabbing and holding her hand whenever she reaches for it. I'd rather make everything uncomfortable and awkward just so I'm not dead
