Today, I backed my car into a parked car in a parking lot. Not only did I back into a parked car, but it was the ONLY parked car there. FML

Irony at a base level

Today, I was standing around looking out the window at work when it became really dark and windy and started to pour. I watched a shopping cart fly across the parking lot thinking how funny it'd be if it hit someone's car. It hit mine. I need a new headlight. FML

What's your damage?

Today, I put my car in the garage last night so it wouldn't get damaged by a huge thunderstorm. Golf clubs fell on it while it was stowed away. FML

Funny how?

Today, I drove to a party after getting my car back from the shop. A thunderstorm started as I made my way there and upon arriving, the power went out. The guests decided to watch the storm from the front windows when someone mentioned how funny it would be if a tree fell on my car. Seconds later, one did. FML

Today, I went to the bookstore. While I was in line, I heard everyone talking about how a book cart had gotten loose and rolled down the parking lot into a car, smashing the front. It was my car. FML

Today, after I arrived at work, somebody crashed into my parked car and left a big dent. The impact pushed my car up onto the curb and I got a parking ticket. FML

Today, someone backed straight into my car as I was hunting for a parking spot. I just got my car back from the body shop after a hit-and-run. FML

Today, I finally got enough money to buy the car I wanted for a year now. It was stolen today too. I had my car for 4 hours. FML

i thought cars didnt get struck by lightning because of the rubber on the tires? It's a genuine question, sorry if i sound stupid.

You would sound stupid but since you put that disclaimer in there you don't :) They can still get struck, but the rubber changes how the electricity is transferred to the ground somehow... I can't remember how though. :/

oh, that makes sense, idk i never studied that in school and i just remember one time while on a retreat there was a horrible storm while we were in the car and it scared me (i was little) and i guess my brother told me that cars couldnt get struck just to comfort me. but thank you for clearing that up :)

the rubber grounds the car, so it doesn't take as much damage.

thats a common misconception cars can absolutely get struck by lighting the rubber on the tires has no effect however people in cars are protected by the metal surrounding them due to the Faraday cage effect wikipedia it its pretty sweet.
