Today, while walking down the street, a truck hit a puddle and splashed me with water. After I cursed and flipped him off, he put his truck in reverse and splashed me again. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, as I was walking back to my dorm, I looked down and thought, "I wonder why the ground is wet in just this one spot?" Then I got hit with a water balloon. FML
Today, I was driving when I saw someone pulled over on the side of the road. Wanting to help, I pulled over. In so doing, I ran over something that popped my tire. The guy had just pulled over to pee. FML
Today, my car broke down in the middle of nowhere. I walked about 3 miles to the nearest house to call a tow truck. When I got back to where I left my car, it was gone. FML
Today, as I was about to walk across the street, a girl in front of me who clearly wasn't paying attention to the traffic, almost got run over. I grabbed her arm and jumped back. She was fine. I fell and fractured my arm and wrist. FML
Today, I was out walking my dog. I was throwing a stick in the lake so he could go get it (he loves swimming). A friend called me. After I was done calling, another friend came by, and we talked for a while. When my dog barked, I accidentally threw my iPhone into the water instead of his stick. FML
Today, I had been sick all day, so to cheer me up my dad drove me to get ice cream. On our way back, we hit a puppy. FML
Today, my car got keyed because I was parked in a handicapped parking spot. I'm handicapped. FML
Today, I was on a train, sitting next to an old man who was reading a newspaper. Suddenly, he sneezed without putting his hands over his nose. Instead of turning towards the window, he turned towards me. FML
Today, I was applying Icy Hot. I squeezed the bottle too hard making it squirt in my eye. I ran to the bathroom in agony, turned on the faucet, and slammed my face right into it. FML
Today, I almost got fired from work because a customer complained that I "threw up gang signs" at him. I was blocking the sun from my eyes. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

In the uk - not sure about America - splashing a pedestrian with water is classed as an accident. If you go to the police station and report him he can be charged with leaving the scene of an accident. Might be a little karma for him if there are similar laws near you?

Unless you had reason to believe they deliberately drove through the puddle and they had plenty of room to swerve around it, yelling at them was uncalled for.

If the driver was paying attention to his surroundings like he should have been, he would have noticed the puddle and pedestrian and slowed down/moved over a touch to at least try to lessen the splash. So he is either a horrible driver who doesn't pay attention or is just an ass.

Even if you're paying attention and driving under the speed limit, sometimes there's still no time or room to avoid driving through a puddle. Source: I live in a rainy area.

You should have thrown a rock, or perhaps moved from the damn puddle.

I'd say your life sucks, but being an ass back to him? Didn't exactly do yourself any favors...

YDI move

I totally agree. OP should have moved. Cars/Trucks don't always know how big their splash is going to be or to expect puddles in the road. But as a pedestrian? You know there's a puddle. You know there is traffic going much faster than you.... anticipate and move? That's what I do. I've only been splashed a few times in my life. Never did I think "You damn driver you!".... I was like "Okay, car going at x miles per hour on a puddle that big makes y splash, next time walk there if puddle exists"

I think it was more he came back to splash again. OP was probably in shock from the first splash if it was big enough

That's why you don't flip people off

Everyone knows that you're supposed to talk trash when the other person can't see or hear you

I'm not sure what the laws are where you are but that is illegal here and the driver can get a huge fine.
