Today, my mom decided to follow me during my driving test. She rear ended me. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my mom had an appointment with my teacher after class. She never showed. My teacher ended up driving me home. FML
Today, while waiting for my mom to pick me up from university, I took out my phone and pretended to talk to someone. I didn't think people still pointed and laughed, but apparently they do when your mom pulls up and shouts, "Stop pretending to talk to someone." FML
Today, my boyfriend dumped me, all because he's scared of my mother. FML
Today, my boss entrusted me with his car to run an errand, as I usually take the bus. I managed to get there and back safely before someone slammed into me while I was re-entering the lot, causing major damage. It was his wife, who thought I was a car thief. FML
Today, while walking down the street, a truck hit a puddle and splashed me with water. After I cursed and flipped him off, he put his truck in reverse and splashed me again. FML
Today, as I was about to walk across the street, a girl in front of me who clearly wasn't paying attention to the traffic, almost got run over. I grabbed her arm and jumped back. She was fine. I fell and fractured my arm and wrist. FML
Today, my car broke down in the middle of nowhere. I walked about 3 miles to the nearest house to call a tow truck. When I got back to where I left my car, it was gone. FML
Today, I had been sick all day, so to cheer me up my dad drove me to get ice cream. On our way back, we hit a puppy. FML
Today, after an extensive talk with a relationship counselor, we concluded that I'm more likely to get run over by a car than be in a stable relationship. FML
Today, my car got keyed because I was parked in a handicapped parking spot. I'm handicapped. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I'm sorry! My mother is pushy and overprotective too so I know how you feel. Hopefully she'll back off a little next time

Have you told your instructor?

The instructor was with OP so he likely knew. Unless OP's mom hit and ran.

Talk about being over protective. I think your mom needs driver's Ed.
ItsAUnicorn 27
Maybe OP was too embarassed to tell the instructor?

In every sense of the word.

I would use this as a pivotal point in the relationship. Now is a great time to set some boundaries!

Quite literally at this point.

That'd suck if they failed OP just because of that.. I don't think getting rear ended is OP's fault :(

When it comes to the DMV, everything is your fault.

Everything is the drivers fault at the DMV. That's why I took mine in my drivers ed class at school.

OP's mom probably blamed it on her, saying she stopped too fast.

Dunno about America but in the UK it's always the guy behind who is at fault. OP should be fine as long as they were driving correctly at time of impact.

#39 the same goes for us Americans.

#39 It is true for Americans, but something similar happened to my friend during her driving test and they failed her. It's not fair, but that's the DMV for you.

Is Indiana the only state that the DMV is called the BMV?
eyepuppy 31
51, Ohio is the same way. people generally call the bmv the dmv, incorrectly (they sound similar).

In Arizona it's the MVD.

In Maryland it's called the STD

#60 Funny, but you know as a fellow Marylander we call it the MVA. But I get the joke though.

That's his it is in America #39. At least in my state.

Wow, must've been awkward after.! Ha

Talk about the anxiety you probably went through
infinitegrace 21
Exactly, driving test are already stressful enough and to have your mom follow you could only make it worse. I feel for you OP.

Hopefully it's something to laugh about in the future. Till then don't let a day go by without fitting it into the conversation.

I feel like there's a joke to be made here... But I don't want to give you a bum rap. Being rear ended is a real bummer.

You tried, #10, you tried.

Someone has trouble letting go. Hopefully, she realizes now that she can't always be there. It also might stop future accidents
