Today, while driving out to the countryside with my new boyfriend, we came across a deer lying in the road. It seemed badly hurt, but instead of letting me get out and make sure, my boyfriend decided to just run over its head to finish it off, then continued driving with a smirk on his face. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, while driving home I saw a few deer running beside me. I stopped to let them go in front. Instead, one face-plants, ramming into the side of my new car. FML
Today, after recently moving to America as I've always dreamt of, I saw my first, majestic deer. My boyfriend slammed it with the rental car. FML
Today, I bought a new car. Twenty-five minutes into driving it home, I hit a deer. FML
Today, I hit a dead deer that had been left in the middle of the road. My car started to make a funny noise and smell, so I pulled over to check it, thinking I blew the tire on some antlers. The deer had got stuck in my front wheel, and I'd dragged it more than a mile. And it wasn't actually dead. FML
Today, I hit a deer. The worst part? Papa deer saw me hit mama deer, and proceded to ram into my car. FML
Today, I was in the car with my boyfriend, who was driving down the highway with the windows down. All of a sudden, everything went black. A cattle truck had sped past, and I had been hit by cow faeces travelling at 110km an hour. My boyfriend was hysterical. None of it hit him. FML
Today, while driving home from work, I saw my boyfriend mugging a woman on the sidewalk. FML
Today, I was on a drive with my uncle. We saw a dead deer on the side of the road and expressed our pity for it. Then a squirrel runs across the road and my uncle swerves toward the squirrel, laughing hysterically and yelling, "Run rodent run." FML
Today, I let my boyfriend drive my car, knowing that he doesn't have a license. While he was out, he ran a stop sign, collided with another vehicle, and then left the scene of the accident. Then he lied to me about how the accident happened so I "wouldn't be so upset." FML
Today, I volunteered to go get ice cream if I could use my mother's car. She told me to be VERY careful. Not ten minutes later, I hit a deer, which got up and walked off as though nothing had happened. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Its a deer, if it was critically injured what were you going to do?

I live out in the country and sadly this stuff happens a lot. Sometimes the police will come and shoot it or someone else will. There are times that the only option is to run it over. While it seems harsh, leaving it in the road to suffer would be far more inhumane.

Although he did the right thing, actually enjoying it is cause for alarm. I hunt deer for food, it's necessary and more humane than supporting the horrendous stuff the meat industry gets away with, but I don't enjoy it. That's really disturbing.

zombie land rule number one. Double tap.

Rule 1 is Cardio. Rule 2 is Double Tap. I don't think any of these rule apply here though. Zombieland was an awesome movie though.

Why are you all saying that 'putting an animal out of its misery' is acceptible? The deer may not have even been injured at all, and I would get away from that guy as quickly as possible.

The fml clearly says it seemed badly injured. And how often do you see deer just laying down in the middle/on the side of the road without being dead or severely hurt?

deer DO NOT just lay on side of road, they don't get tired and take a break.

So if you're dog was in severe pain, with absolutely no hope of survival, you wouldn't put it to sleep? I agree the guy may have done it for the wrong reasons, but when a deer is lying in the middle of the road, can't even stand up, it has no hope. I mean, it should have run at the first sign of a car, and it didn't move. Even if the only injury it had was a broken leg, like horses, this would be a death sentence. Some horses to survive, after putting tens of thousands into vet bills and pure luck. Look at famous racehorses who get broken legs, if the vets can't save an animal that's worth millions, no vet is going to put a deer through that stress with a 99% chance of it just slowly dying. No one is going to give $25,000 to the vet to try to save a deer. The definition of humane is to not hurt an animal needlessly. What he did killed it instantly, it may not have been pretty, but what does that matter. I don't think the deer cared that it's death wasn't clinical, a quick death is a quick death regardless of how it's done. The person who really treated the deer inhumanely was the person who hit it in the first place and then left it to suffer (I suspect this is what happened, because I don't just think a predator would abandon it's kill in the middle of the road). Shooting it would have just scared the animal before it died, deer are scared of people, even in that state. To have to sit outside and aim a shot, getting reasonably close to it to ensure a quick death to the animal, and not a miss, would have been inhumane. To kill it with a knife, needing to get even closer to the animal would be inhumane. To call the police so the animal could wait longer while suffering only to get shot, would be inhumane. To bring it to a vet, which would surely terrify the animal, only for it to be put down, would be inhumane (and dangerous to all humans involved). I feel to be inhumane would be to prolong the animal's suffering any longer, and to cause it even more fear and stress before it died.

Deer just don't behave like that, they will run from pretty much everything besides that they only really lie down to sleep and they prefer sheltered quite places. If a deer is lying in the road and doesn't move when a car approaches it almost certainly can't move which means it won't survive.

Thats disgusting, there is absolutely nothing funny or smirk-worthy about killing something even if it is the humane thing to do. I'd definitely keep him away from my pets and out of my life.

well if its hurt badly you have to kill it but you shouldn't enjoy killing it by running it over

Don't insult the hill billies. A hill billy would have at least made sure it didn't die in vain and made a meal out of it.

Not ashamed to say I have eaten deer that I found on the road. We live near a forest and have a lot of deer/car collisions. If I see it happen, I call the state troopers who tag the deer for me and I take it home with me.
