Today, I was driving my child to school when the car let out a huge bang. It shuddered to a halt. My son started laughing. I asked him what was funny but he wouldn't tell me. The car wouldn't start. I called RACV and they told me the problem. My son had rolled 9 golf balls into the exhaust pipe. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I let my son take my car out for a spin, since he just got his licence. He didn't make it out of our street before totaling it. FML
Today, my son thought he'd take my new car for a drive without permission. He accelerated straight into a tree, reversed into a lamppost and then accelerated again into the neighbours car. FML
Today, my dad brought home a used hunk of junk from someone he knew. It was covered in rust and dents, and the engine was making weird noises. Thinking he was being generous, he said to me, "When you get your license, you'll be driving it!" It then died with a loud bang and black smoke from under the hood. FML
Today, something on my car went bang and the whole thing died. I got it towed to a garage and it turns out a great fat rat had gotten stuck in my exhaust, died, and blocked it up. The fumes couldn’t escape and overheated the engine until something blew. FML
Today, I woke up and saw my new car was gone and my son seemed very shifty. When I questioned him with the cops, he admitted to taking it for a joyride and "leaving it" behind a derelict mall. We drove over. It was wrapped around a light post, completely destroyed. FML
Today, my dad didn't mention he had just aired up the tire on my van and that it might have a hole in it. It wasn't flat when I left the house but it sure as hell was when it exploded, not even a mile down the road. FML
Today, I took a car out for a test drive to investigate a mysterious clunking noise. I heard the exact sound the customer had described, and then realized a wrench had been left on top of the engine and had slipped down and got caught near the battery. I had to come back and explain that the issue had been a skill issue. FML
Today, I climbed into my junky old car and was pleasantly surprised that the AC came on. I patted the dash and said, "Thanks, buddy." Ten minutes later, as I was tearing down the highway, the engine threw a rod. FML
Today, my car broke down. My boyfriend, who is not too handy, insisted on fixing it. He called me outside and said he was done and started the engine. Moments after rejoicing, it burst into flames. FML
Today, I told my wife to not drive our car as it has a steering problem and is starting to shake. I got home from work to see it had a flat tire, and asked her if she went anywhere. She'd thought I was exaggerating and went out for coffee. I've been a mechanic for 7 years. FML

So what? That's funny. Kids can do a lot worse than that. Just something to make your day more interesting, imo. :D

Ya just like paying for it

Except that she has to pay money to fix it. I would've whooped his ass so hard if I were her. He definitely would have shed some blood and tears for that little stunt.

93- If you beat your kids to the point that they bleed, I don't think you should be having children.

So what? She has to pay to fix her car now that's what. I'm sure if it happened to you it wouldn't be so "funny."

I just hope that no one tells that deviant, little, vandal bastard that a banana or potato wedged tightly up a tailpipe builds and even higher back pressure and makes a bigger boom. Oops.

I thought you were headed in some pedophilesque direction with the banana and the tailpipe..

i reckon you might be alone on that one, aero.

Well I heard banana and tailpipe in the same sentence... and we're talking about a kid. I was just mentally preparing myself for some horrific comment >_

Haha I was thinking the same thing. You're not alone on that one.

Yea im just gonna go out on a limb here and say that most people, when they hear "banna", "potato", and "tail pipe", they don't jump to the "hey lets go pick up some kids at the play ground and our way with em" train of thought...... May I suggest some help??? 911....
ibemad_fml 0
no, perdix, a potato wouldn't go boom. the car wouldn't start if it were off, and it would stall if it was running. they actually check for holes in your exaust system by putting a thick rag over the tailpipe. if the car stalls, you're all good. if it doesn't, you've got a hole. which is why I'm calling fake.

Those must have been some huge golf balls cuz most exhaust or tail pipes are usually a lot bigger
