Today, in a rush to squeeze out of a particularly tight parking spot, I made a hurried 12-point turn. Just to make sure I had enough room behind, I hopped out of my car. It was still in reverse. I managed to wreck my own car without even sitting in it. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I tried to back out of a spot in a parking garage. I did a 12 point turn, hit the car behind me and still didn't manage to get out of the spot. Everyone was staring at me, and the attendant had to come over and move my car for me. I have to park there every day. FML
Today, I had to jump into my car while it was still moving. Apparently, just because you put it in park and turn it off, doesn't mean it won't take off towards a ditch without warning. FML
Today, I was driving around a parking lot, looking for an empty spot. Someone was backing out a bit too quickly as I was about to pass by, so I honked to announce myself. The driver instead panicked and reversed into my front bumper. FML
Today, I tried to parallel park my car in a tight spot. After several failed attempts, I finally parked, but then realized I had parked on a slight incline. My car started rolling backwards. I had to chase it down the street in my pajamas. FML
Today, I tried to back my car into my parking space while some of my neighbors were out by their cars. I accidentally rammed into the retaining wall behind my spot. I was hoping the neighbors didn't notice the huge crunching sound, but they did. FML
Today, while arguing with my boyfriend about how I wasn't a bad driver and could parallel park, I thought it would be easier to just let him do it. Unfortunately, while getting out of the car to switch seats, I forgot to take the car out of drive and it ran into the car in front of us. He was right. FML
Today, I noticed I parked behind a boy I like. Trying to impress him with my driving skills, I ended up forgetting to put the car in reverse and rear-ended him. FML
Today, I’m learning to drive and finally felt confident enough to park in a tight spot with my instructor watching. I nailed the angle perfectly, but when I tried to get out, I realized I'd parked so close to the line that I couldn’t open the door. I had to climb out of the passenger side while my instructor pretended not to laugh. FML
Today, after double-checking to make sure the garage door was completely open, I backed my car into it. FML
Today, I backed my car into a parked car in a parking lot. Not only did I back into a parked car, but it was the ONLY parked car there. FML

The worst thing is that you wrecked the car behind you and you will have to pay for his damaged car too.

So let me get this straight. You were in reverse, and you opened your door and got out of your car without realizing it was still moving? This would have been a perfect example of Darwinism if you stepped out and got hit by a bus. YDI.

Also how did he manage to not get hit by his doors if the car was going backwards? What did it wait to move till he got out of the way?

A 12 point turn?! You obviously can't drive. Turn in your license and keys.

Long day? Make sure you leave a note to the owner of the other car.

I thought the whole FML was an innuendo.

How did you not get hit by your car door when getting out of your car if it was in reverse?

That's what I'm trying to figure out. If you do let me know

I'm still trying to figure out why you'd need to do a 12-point turn to get out of a parking spot...

Ignorant much, OP? FAIL! Surrender your drivers license & sell your vehicle ASAP....would hate to see how badly you are at ACTUALLY trying to drive!
