Animals: Today, while driving my new car, a squirrel ran in front of me...

Today, while driving my new car, a squirrel ran in front of me so I slammed on my brakes. The person behind me didn't notice and rear-ended me. The squirrel got hit by a car going the opposite direction. FML

Today, I swerved out of the way to avoid hitting a squirrel, and in the process hit another squirrel. FML

Today, I accidentally ran over a squirrel on the road. I was late for work so I didn't stop. Later, someone keyed the word PETA into the side of my car. FML

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, I was driving my new car home when I came around a sharp turn to see a groundhog in the road. I kindly stopped and allowed it to cross when all of the sudden a car slammed into the back of mine. Then, another car went flying around us. That car hit and killed the groundhog. FML

Today, I ran to my car and zoomed to work to avoid being late. I was in such a hurry, I forgot to close all my windows. When I got back to my car, I found a dead squirrel inside. FML

Today, I swerved off the road and hit a tree in order to avoid hitting a dog that came out of nowhere. Don't worry, I didn't hit him. The person behind me did, though. FML

Today, for the first time ever, while I was driving I ran over a squirrel. It was in front of three little girls at their lemonade stand. FML

Slammed

Today, I crashed my car. I saw a deer getting ready to run into the middle of the road, and I was very sleepy, so I panicked and slammed on the brakes, causing me to lose control of the car on the wet road. After I hit a tree, I realized that the deer was a plastic lawn ornament. FML

Hmmm... that's why you don't "slam on your brakes" for small rodents:(

You're supposed to keep driving unless it's a animal that can cause an accident, like a deer. Otherwise, surprise surprise, the abruptent stop can cause an even bigger accident than hitting a squirrel. I'm 16 and I know this.

I've seen this FML before. Shame the original was deleted. As I said in the last one, YDI for interfering with natural selection.

At least, you don't have blood on your new car, just a bunch of dents.

OP must be female!!!!! hit the ******* squirrel, don't brake for animals, and don't cause traffic jams. brake/swerve for a moose or large game, not small rodents.

I am an absolute animal lover, and just the thought of hitting an animal while driving is one of my fears while driving- especially for pets like cats and dogs. Even though It would take a lot to forgive myself, Sad thing is, unless you can safely slow down- especially at higher speeds - you just have to keep going and hope you don't hit them. I wouldn't say this is a YDI or a FYL, it just is a sad situation.

you should never slam on the brakes or swerve to miss hitting anything unless it's a person or a big animal that would do damage to your car. next time, let off the accelerator and risk hitting the animal instead of having another car accident.
