Today, the person I was driving behind put their car in reverse and backed straight into me. I was then yelled at and told, "I had my reversing lights on! Why didn't you move?!" FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I stopped at a red light, when I noticed the car in front of me was in reverse. I honked at the driver, hoping he'd realize and place the car in drive. He thought the light turned green and immediately backed into me. FML
Today, while at a stop light, I was rear-ended by a car behind me. The guy got angry at me, because according to him, I should've known that his car has poor braking distance, and so I should've moved forward a few more feet to compensate. FML
Today, I was driving around a parking lot, looking for an empty spot. Someone was backing out a bit too quickly as I was about to pass by, so I honked to announce myself. The driver instead panicked and reversed into my front bumper. FML
Today, I was driving to work and stopped at a stop light. A full 2 or 3 seconds passed, followed by a car rear-ending me. The idiot driving it got out and gave me hell, calling me a maniac because I braked "too quickly" and didn't give him a chance to react. FML
Today, I was driving home from work and noticed the car behind me was tailgating me pretty badly. I was starting to get angry with the driver, and kept glancing in my rear view mirror at him. While I was doing so, the traffic ahead of me stopped, and I rear-ended the car in front of me. FML
Today, I was driving in my very own car that I bought and paid for myself, when I stopped at a stop light. Then I noticed the truck in front of me turn on his reverse lights. I honked desperately. He hits me, looks out the window and says, "I see no damage" and drives away. FML
Today, I was in a car accident. After screaming at the woman for running into me, I got in my car and drove off. As I was driving away, I was staring her down when I ended up rear-ending the person in front of me. FML
Today, I got rear ended. The guy flashed his lights at me to pull over, so I pulled into the side of the road. He drove away. FML
Today, I was stopped in traffic when a woman rear-ended me, backed up, and sped off along the shoulder, taking my passenger side mirror with her. FML
Today, I was driving home when a guy crashed into me from behind. I got out of my car and told him that I was going to call the cops. He then asked me if we could move to a corner because we were blocking the way, so we then got back in to move. I looked in the mirror to see him driving off. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

It makes you wonder how some people even got their license.

You can fix the car, but you can't fix stupid.

I swear it's a miracle some people were given licenses. I hope you wrote down a license plate number, OP

There should be an IQ test to go along with the driving test.

It is the driver that is reversing to make sure that the area that they are reversing to is clear. It's not your fault

honestly you should've moved. or given him more room

@33 The person reversing is responsible for not hitting anyone. It isn't up to the person behind them to move to keep that from happening. And if they didn't have enough room to back up without hitting Op then they shouldn't have tried.

No that's not how it works

person reversing should make sure there is sufficient room behind them. op might not have been able to move out of the way due to some obstruction behind him.

That's the kind of driver that gives Victoria a bad rep. Sorry about your car OP.

still better drivers than over here in the west!

Damn asshole

They would have to stop to reverse so why didn't you back up

My take is that OP was in traffic and this ass wipe was trying to commit insurance fraud, chances are OP had cars behind them and there was nowhere for them to go.

Come to Maryland. We have a ton of idiot drivers like that.
