Today, the car in front of me in the drop-off area at my son's school parked, and the driver got out. I basically leaned on my horn and gave her every dirty look in the book. She said nothing but stared at me as she opened the back of her van to unload her child's wheelchair. I'm an asshole. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was sitting in a parked car. A woman was having difficulties maneuvering out. She honked the horn repeatedly for me to move, then looked me in the eye and called me a "f**king bitch", before driving off. I was in the passenger seat. FML
Today, I noticed a flashy car badly parking itself in a handicapped space. I hate the asshats who do this, so I went up to berate the driver. After an opening salvo of coarse language, a glint of light on his wheelchair in the back caught my eye. I then had to apologise for being a shitehawk. FML
Today, as I was getting out of my car, an old and obese lady walked up to me and called me an "inconsiderate heartless bitch" for using the last handicap parking spot. I guess she didn't see my wheelchair. FML
Today, while leaving work, I noticed a woman struggling with her wheelchair. Trying to be kind, I grabbed the handles and began to push her. A few moments later, the front wheels caught on something and I ended up dumping her onto the ground. Now my coworkers all think I'm a huge douche. FML
Today, I saw a woman still texting on her phone as she started to drive away when the light turned green. I made sure to stare her down and give her a dirty look because she wasn't paying attention to driving. She laughed as I rear-ended the car in front of me. FML
Today, I parked in a disabled bay so I could drop my son off at his appointment. My son uses crutches and has a blue badge. As I was trying to leave, an absolute Karen started chewing my ass for using a disabled bay while “not looking disabled”, then lay under my wheels to stop me leaving. FML
Today, I parked in a "Disabled" space. A woman and her kids comes yelling at me about how I don't look disabled and I was just being selfish. I roll my pants up to reveal two prosthetic legs. She then yells at me that I should have warned her before showing my legs since it could scare her kids. FML
Today, after parking in the handicapped spot of a lot with my placard, an older couple with their 7-year-old grandchild came up and yelled at me for being a lying asshole and taking the parking spot. When I showed them my prosthetic leg, the kid started crying and guess who got yelled at again. FML
Today, I was driving to work when I was almost hit by a teenage driver. I gave her the finger and shouted "F*** you!" making sure that she heard me. I then saw my boss glaring at me from the passenger seat. FML
Today, the last parking space outside my work was tiny but I tried to parallel park there in desperation. A school kid saw the whole attempt and sarcastically clapped me as I gave up and drove away. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I bet other mothers are way better then OP... Perhaps this was just a one time thing OP but think before you act next time!!!
StalkerChick 13
People wrongly use the drop-off area all the time(they did at my old high school). That was just bad luck, OP. At least you feel bad about it. That makes you less of an asshole :)
hellbilly205 17
Its not like you knew though, you're impatient indeed thats for sure.

How naive these young ones are.

I'm gonna go with: come ON people! You all get to sit here with 20/20 hindsight when you all know that you'd have done the exact samt thing! A stressed out parent trying to deliver her kid(s) to school sees someone parking in the drop-off area and does not notice that there just MIGHT be a wheelchair (or maybe a discreet handicap sticker) involved? As others say, once OP found out the real reason, she felt bad, as any other good person making an honest mistake would do. One could also make the argument that the mother of the wheelchair kid should have found a handicap spot for unloading, instead of using the "quickly stop your car and let the kids out, then move the f*ck outta here"-drop off space. Just sayin'

Actually... A lot of people don't have 20/20 vision.

At least you admit it.
annie_nk 23
And that's the first step to fixing a problem.
gc327072 31
And being a disabled person myself, OP is indeed a giant ass. Learn to be patient with those who aren't so able-bodied. Learn to be patient in general.
unhappybitch 8
She didn't know.....
chell1894 13
She is patient with those who are disabled. she just didn't know.. Usually people use these area to park when they're not suppose to just so they don't have to walk. She had no idea the woman was unloading her disabled child till she saw it. And it sounds like ops feels horrible about it.
twitch851 9
40, No, she is not, people park there all the time for a "moment" op had every right to do that. Also she has to have special tags for her child anyway, so she deserves it.

42-- that doesn't make her behavior ok! She should be more patient and kind
KindaFunnyRight 8
I hope OP at least got out and apologized
Villy23 12
Who says she doesn't have special tags? You're all assuming that she has no stickers or anything on her car, but maybe OP simply didn't see them because she was too busy being an asshole. If you are so busy that you can't wait a few seconds to see if someone has a legitimate reason for doing something before losing your shit, then you need to loosen up your schedule a bit.

183- basically what I tried to say, but I messed up.
JustJumped 22
And that's why we should all take a second to consider our actions
onlychildFTW 34
Always give it a few seconds before you go honking. People are always honking prematurely.
hama806 19
Patience is a virtue..you need to work on that OP. Maybe next time you will be more patient ...let's hope.

Or we risk looking wheely silly!!

U didn't know it was an accident it happens all the time
DjeePee 25
Indeed, it happens all the time that stupid people act rude. No need to defend them.
happle 21
People shouldn't get so worked up over little things like that. So you have to wait an extra minute or two. Big ******* deal.
HeyImMatthew 3
It's not stupid or rude if he didn't know.
shinychic_96 7
You shouldn't be an ass
shinychic_96 7
That was directed towards happle

It's still stupid and rude. The car horn is not a dislike button to be used to vent your displeasure. It's meant to be a warning system. Acting like an arrogant idiot in this situation could've done more harm than good. Example: confused kid stops walking to find the noise source while distracted driver does the same = accident. What if it wasn't a handicapped child but child-safe doors? OP had no way of knowing why the woman got out of the car and blaring the horn was unnecessary in just about any way this scenario would've played out.

Crap I hit the wrong arrow thumb... Sorry man! I totally agree!
pantherpride98 10
I agree
MissEmma_fml 22
To assume makes an Ass out of U and Me.
I_iz_B_a_troll 24
No, it just made an ass out of the Op.
MissEmma_fml 22
It's just a saying. I thought it would have sounded weird if I only wrote half of it, so I left the "me" part on.

I just put myself in your shoes and felt so awkward/horrible. FYL

Give her the benefit of the doubt! She didn't know!

It's still rude either way.

No it's not, people park there all the time for a "moment" op had every right to do that. Also she has to have special tags for her child anyway, so she deserves it.
Hiimhaileypotter 53
91- I'm sorry, but no, OP did not have the right to act like an asshole because the woman parked her car.
fordneagles 34
91, Are you expecting the disabled kid to get out and get their own wheelchair just so the mother doesn't 'park'? You're damn near as much of a prick as the OP. If people weren't so quick to assume and be impatient and intolerant we'd have far fewer of these kinds of situations.
kd1373 19
But then we wouldn't have these kinds of FMLs :)
Llama_Face89 34
91- you posted the same exact thing a few comments up. Doesn't make you look any better this time.
noelykins1 19
You could of waited patiently. You have set a bad example for your kid and for the other mothers too. You have a son you should of learned to be patient a long time ago. Or maybe you could have gone around her.
TheMathMajor 26
*could've *should've
noelykins1 19
I apologize. I am not used to should have, or could have.

You know its funny your quick to judge cause put in the same situation during a bad day that could have easely happen to u so wuit judging others u aint better

MissEmma_fml 22
58 - you're "not used to should have or could have", and yet you wrote "could have" at the end of your first comment.
n1988e 8
Why are you guys all picking on each others grammar? It's like you're all in the first grade showing off who can spell better.
MissEmma_fml 22
We're teaching. Because if we don't correct their mistakes now, then they won't be corrected at all and when it comes to writing something important, like a résumé (CV), then if they have a bunch of spelling and grammar mistakes they're going to look like a complete idiot. It's for the greater good. We're helping ;) That's my excuse anyway.

Patience is a virtue. ... Just kidding. Ain't nobody got time fo dat.
