Today, I waited in the pouring rain for my wife to come pick me up from work. It was only after I was thoroughly drenched that I remembered it was my wife's day off, and that I drove myself to work earlier in her car, which was parked fifty feet from where I was waiting. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, It was pretty nice out, so I decided to walk to work. Not twenty minutes after leaving, it started to pour. I was soaking when I got there and had to change. My boyfriend works next door, so I asked him if he could give me a ride. His reply? "Sorry Babe, I just can't be seen with you like that." FML
Today, I walked to work. I later discovered that my husband had parked my car in a no-parking area. My job is towing cars. I had to tow my own car. FML
Today, my wife's water broke so I drove her to the hospital. After 16 hours without labor, I went home to get a little sleep. Four hours later I got the call and ran outside to find that my car was towed from my parking space. FML
Today, I had to walk home in the rain because my mom didn't want to get her new car wet. FML
Today, I woke up early, showered, dressed, and made the 40 minute drive to work, only to discover when I arrived that today was my day off. When I got home my live in boyfriend was gone. I called and he told me he was at the beach, right near my work. FML
Today, I had to wait an hour in the awful rain for my mom to pick me up, because she didn't realize the clocks had gone forward already. FML
Today, I drove my car to work as I had some errands to do after, even though I only live a few blocks away. After driving round to find a car park for ages, the closest car park available was outside my house. I ended up walking to work instead. FML
Today, I was leaving a cafe with some of my friends. I had to sit in the back of the car by myself. I opened the door when I saw an old woman needing help getting to her car because it was raining. I shut the door and went to help. My friends thought I had gotten in. I was left in the rain with no phone. FML
Today, my wife made me feel like an asshole for not leaving work to come home because she wasn't feeling good. I'm working at a jobsite 1.5 hours away from home, plus my vehicle wasn't at the jobsite either. FML
Today, I was working as a Valet driver. After getting no customers for 5 hours in the pouring rain, a woman driving by stops and asks me for directions. Before leaving, she said, "I should probably tip you for that, since that's probably the only money you'd get all night." She didn't. FML

It's like when it's summer, you get a whole new routine. When school comes back, it changes again

Couldn't OP have just called on their cell phone? When I am waiting for a ride, I always call the person to confirm and see how far away they are.

33 - Not if it's every day! And unless they're exceptionally late, it seems a little pushy to be calling every time.

Routines are hard to break. OP, why not put a reminder in your cell (in your calendar or alarm) when you take your wife's car to work? That way you're reminded. It's proven that if you write it down (better yet, setting a reminder) you will remember what you wrote.

OP: "Honey, I'm home, and I'm soaked." Wife: "Yeah, I can see that. You're drenched in another woman's juices. GTFO, and you can leave the car." OP: "But it's just rain!" Wife: "Like hell if I'll believe that you cheating scumbag."

#58 - Cool story, bro! (In all fairness and reality, I actually was rather amused.)
drewflav 17
63 - Yeah, it was the first thing that came to mind when I read the cheating comment. Oh the things you say when you haven't had time to sleep in 3 days...

I hope she's not mad at you for getting her car all wet...
Fuhkyoo 17
OMG WHY WOULD SHE BE MAD THIS IS A TERRIBLE COMMENT.........is what the 3 idiots who thumbed this comment down were thinking.
NoFlippinWai 24
she would be mad because he was drenched when he got in the car... some people are anal about getting their seats wet I.e. my father who made me ride the bus from long beach to woodland hills because I forgot a third towel for the seat.
zakkyzebra 11
"Third" towel? Do you need two to dry off?
Zebediabolical 45
Beach towel for the sand. Clean towel for drying off.
