Cars, Insects and Animals: Shotgun

Shotgun

By ferrarismyname - This FML is from back in 2009 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, I was sitting shotgun in the car. A huge bug came inside, and everyone began to freak out so naturally I began to swat at it. I got the fly, but I also cracked the windshield. I paid $229 to kill a bug. FML

Today, about to fall asleep, a bug started buzzing behind the screen to my window. Losing my sanity, I punched the screen, forgetting all about the glass. I now have a cracked window and one still annoying bug. FML

Creeped out

Today, as I was driving, a massive cockroach clicked its way across my windshield. I pulled over to fling it out the window, but it spread its wings and flew around like a hook-armed stabbing machine. I lost it in the dark car and now I can't find it. It's going to be a long drive home. FML

Today, I ruined my computer screen trying to kill a fly. FML

Today, while I was eating, a fly kept pissing me off. After three minutes of it buzzing around, I caught it and killed it. Then, without realizing it, I smeared its guts all over the front of my shirt. FML

Today, as I was hanging washing out in the sun, a huge cicada flew into my face and somehow got behind my glasses. I screamed and ripped them off and ran away. I came back to a broken pair of VERY expensive glasses. FML

Today, I thought it would be funny to pee on a small bug in the toilet. A much larger bug thought it would be funny to fly into my eye while I was doing this. FML

Fancy a pint?

Today, while I was relaxing outside drinking a beer after a long day, a moth decided to fly right into my ear canal. I instinctively threw my hand up to swat it out. With the same hand holding the beer. I soaked the side of my face and down my ear. At least I got the bug out. FML

Today, I noticed an extremely large bug buzzing around my room. After several attempts, I stomped on it with my shoe. I was trying to get a closer look at my victory when it flew into my nostril. Turns out it was just playing dead. FML

Today, I was taking a break in my work truck when I saw a huge swarm of bees flying my way. I have a hand crank window so I started cranking it up as fast as I could and the knob snapped off before it closed and I got stung by the whole swarm before I could get out. FML

Today, I spent an hour and a half washing my car. As I was driving down the highway, a large bird flew over my car and accidentally dropped the dead animal he was about to have for dinner. It landed on my windshield. FML

I am going to believe this. Why? The windshield could have been old and chipped, covered with small cracks on the sides. The hit could have just been the straw

This could happen with a ring. Either way, 35 wins.

My previous flatmate cracked a Titanic joke whilst riding shotgun in my car and the windscreen had steamed up a tiny bit and a foot long crack appeared almost instantly. Mine was covered by insurance, your friend must have a rubbish policy.

"Is it overwhelming to use a crane to crush a fly," -The Flaming Lips Dude it was a fly not a 500 pound bison. I'm calling shananagins

...They freaked out because of a fly? What do they do when they see a cockroach? Faint?

Oh my gosh! honestly now, people? It's really not very hard to crack, just crack, not shatter, a car window. If a fly landed and you expected the window to be strong and swatted it, i would probably use enough force that it might crack. I doubt they are lying...
