Today, I was driving my grandpa to the store because his car is in the shop. I was well within the speed limit, but he kept yelling at me for "speeding", then accused me of trying to give him a heart attack, and eventually pulled the e-brake, getting us rear-ended. He refuses to apologise. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was driving with my grandma and she was going 30 over the speed limit. To slow her down, I said, "Hey look, the police". She slammed on the brakes so hard I hit my head on the dashboard. FML
Today, my dad was driving me to college. I'd cracked a joke about how old people like him shouldn't be allowed to drive, and I guess he took it personally, what with him speeding straight up to the parking lot wall, and only braking after I started shrieking in terror. FML
Today, I was driving to work and stopped at a stop light. A full 2 or 3 seconds passed, followed by a car rear-ending me. The idiot driving it got out and gave me hell, calling me a maniac because I braked "too quickly" and didn't give him a chance to react. FML
Today, my neighbor yelled at me for driving recklessly. I was going 35 mph, and she was stopped in the middle of a road around a blind curve. My "reckless driving" was slamming on the brakes so I wouldn't hit her. FML
Today, my car is still in the shop, so I asked my psycho brother to drive me to the mall. He sped up to nearly 20 km/h over the speed limit, so I shouted for him to stop before he got us both killed. He hit the brakes in the middle of an intersection, and wouldn't move again until I got out. FML
Today, while at a stop light, I was rear-ended by a car behind me. The guy got angry at me, because according to him, I should've known that his car has poor braking distance, and so I should've moved forward a few more feet to compensate. FML
Today, while driving home, some idiot kept tailgating me, so I slowed down, hoping he'd overtake me. He didn't, so I pulled to the side of the road. He did the same, in front of me. He kept toying with me until I crashed into another car trying to speed away from him. FML
Today, a cop almost rear-ended my car, slammed on the gas with no warning, swerved around me, flipped me the bird, then cut me off and then drove a full ten miles under the speed limit. When I changed lanes to overtake him, he pulled me over for road rage. FML
Today, I was driving through a crossroad on the main road. A driver from the right got road rage, as I didn't let him go first. He drove past me and started brake-checking me. After that he followed me over whole city to scream and curse at me in front of my flat. I didn't break any the laws. FML
Today, I got screamed at, threatened, cursed, and spat on by an elderly couple for "running them off the road". I was driving an ambulance, lights and sirens on, with a 4 year old in the back who couldn't breathe. They were going 20 in a 50mph zone for 2 miles straight. FML

I gave my grandma a lift and she had an 'accident' in the passenger seat. I spent 2 hours cleaning up pee. Sell the car, buy a motorbike. Before it's too late.

Oh wow. That's really awful. My mom tried to do the same thing to me a couple years ago, luckily I stopped her before she actually pulled the E-brake. Hopefully you can talk him into taking responsibility for the damages. That sucks. :( FYL OP

Morgan Freeman is old and he is nearly worshipped.
sunshineb81 16
#15 that is just a hateful comment. You too will be old one day, God willing. I'm sure you want to be treated with kindness and respect. Seniors are people with feelings too.

All hail Morgan Freeman * bows in reverence

maggie smith is old too..a goddess i might add. bowing to both of them
justtheotherguy 12
but why were you speeding ? ;) He saved you from getting a speeding ticket
kelardy 11
are you a dumbass? it clearly says 'well within the speed limit' meaning they weren't speeding
junkman6 22
No #17 you're the dumbass. You missed some of the most blatant sarcasm ever. #16 even put a winky face. Please save yourself and say you were being sarcastic also #17. Please I'll believe it just so I don't lose all faith in the use of sarcasm on FML.

#20 even if 16 was being sarcastic he still wasn't very funny.

#20, There has never been a sarcasm font

*The joy of sarcasm* Dnt u just love it when grandpa helps u pull the brakes?? :)

To him, you were speeding. There has got to be an "old people rule book" and rule #1 is always at least 15mph under the speed limit.
BeautifulChaos27 37
FYL for having to deal with that and getting rear-ended.. butttt... YDI because if your grandpa was really in that much distress over it, why not just slow down for his sake?
dawnimus 21
Because driving well below the speed limit is also dangerous, as it can cause other drivers to take unnecessary risks to overtake you.
BeautifulChaos27 37
Then they who are taking "unnecessary risks" to pass are also in the wrong. Only pass when it is safe, if somebody is in such a rush they can't wait for a safe moment to pass then too bad on them.

#19. I agree. Why not go slower if it's making grandpa to panic?
hellphone_fml 37
If the car behind him was close enough to rear end him because he stopped then they would have been rear ended if he slowed down
BeautifulChaos27 37
Only if they were too stupid to not pay attention to the car in front of them. It's illegal to tailgate someone so closely that if they had to emergency stop (like a little kid running into the road) that they can't do so as well without hitting them. People where I'm from will "break check" you if you follow too close. Aren't paying attention? Well you just got into an accident and it's YOUR fault for rear-ending them. So.. if you're following so close that them SLOWING DOWN -not stopping- causes you to hit them, get off the road.

No, 47. Brake checking is illegal, and will leave you at fault with a nice fat ticket.

#19 ever think the grandpa just wanted to overreact and wasnt actually in that much distress..? if he was that distressed and caused the accident, he should at least have the decency to apologise.
BeautifulChaos27 37
Yes, lets freak out for no reason at the person who's being nice enough to give me a ride. Why not wreck their car while I'm at it? Hey, maybe they'll never give me a ride again after this. But ya know, still worth it. *logic*
sunshineb81 16
# 19. I agree with you completely. I don't understand why you got any down votes at all.

I'm so glad my nan never learned how to drive.
KingLewisII 34
My mom never learned and she complains any time I drive her anywhere, yet she insists I drive her, I hate it.

Is there no one that will comment on how he misspelled "apologize"
sororitytaylor 24
No, because that's the way they spell it in Europe, so it's normal.
yeongji 31
I think you and your family should reconsider whether it is safe for him to continue having a car..

Oh old people
sanecatlady 13
My own grandparents would have never acted this way. I guess they don't make them like they used to. :(
