Today, my dog was riding my car's passenger seat. He clambered over onto my lap, causing me to lose control of the wheel for a few seconds. As I tried to knock him off me, I lost track of my speed, and ended up being pulled over for reckless driving. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, while driving with my puppy in the passenger seat, he jumped out of the window. FML
Today, my dog pooped. In my lap. While I was driving. FML
Today, I was driving with my dog. Looking out the half-open window he stepped on the switch, the window went up, causing his head to get stuck. I looked down and he had scared the shit out of himself, all over my shirt. FML
Today, I left my dog in my car for 5 minutes while I ran into a store. The car was running so he was fine, the thing that wasn't so fine is that when I walked out my car wasn't there. My dog somehow moved my car into the middle of a intersection, almost causing an accident. FML
Today, I was on my way to a Thanksgiving dinner, with my dog in her seat in the front of my car. On the entrance ramp to the highway, my rear wheels spun to the left, and then my car spun completely around and hit the guardrail. My car is totaled. I'm broke, but at least my dog wasn't hurt. FML
Today, I mistook my dog's head for the gear shift while tearing down the highway. FML
Today, I got pulled over by the cops for swerving a lot while driving. I tried to explain that my dog bit the back of my neck, but as soon as I opened my door to show him the bite marks and the dog, he ran out of the car. I still can't find him. FML
Today, while in the car with my mom, we accidentally ran over a dog who had sprinted into the road. Instead of stopping, my mom continued to drive as if nothing happened. Every time I tried to bring it up, she merely talked loudly over me. FML
Today, I was driving down the road when a dog suddenly ran across the street. In attempt to spare its life, I swerved to the side of the road and rear-ended another car. The car I hit belonged the family who owned the dog. Now I have to pay them because I saved their dog's life. FML
Today, I was driving a little over the speed limit, when I saw a cop car waiting to join the road ahead of me. I quickly hit the brakes so they wouldn't have a payday with me. I hit the brakes too hard, lost control and almost ended up on someone's lawn. FML

Your dog was riding the seat? Why wasn't he riding IN the seat? No wonder you got distracted.

Dogs these days are barking mad.

Could have been worse. I'm not saying YDI, but you could have lost total control and crashed. Luckily, all is fine with both you and the dog. :)

OP does deserve it though.

You WERE driving recklessly! You're lucky you didn't hurt or kill yourself, your dog or someone else.

I'm sorry YDI OP, I hope you learned your lesson. You or your dog could of been hurt.

That's your own fault, so don't blame the dog! They should be harnessed in the back for their own safety and yours!

Im surprised at the amount of people imsisting that dogs HAVE to be strapped in. My dog was never strapped in amd i couldnt imagine doing so.. He loved sticking his head out the window :p however i trained him not to bug me when driving and stay in the back seat

My friend's cousin never strapped her dog in. She lost control of her car on an icy highway, crashed it, and both she and her dog were killed. If either of them had been wearing a seatbelt, there's a chance they would have survived. So as an ex-vet assistant who had to deal with the bodies of such dogs, I will happily say "**** you" to anyone who doesn't think it's necessary to harness their dog in a car. Especially if they don't do it because they're afraid of "upsetting" their dog. Would you let your children rid in a car unrestrained because you were afraid of "upsetting" them?! As far as I'm concerned, it should be the law.

In some states its the law to restrain an animal.

My dog is strapped in and still sticks his head out the window. He has a harness that plugs into the seatbelt, gives him enough leash to wander around the backseat but not enough to get in the front and climb all over (which he would certainly do).

Seatbelt the harness! Crate him. Anything but the dog wandering in the front seat! I was in a car when the driver's daschund/Jack Russell terrier mix jumped into her arms and we spun out. YDI the ticket.

I tried that and I got arrested. I think I did something wrong

maybe time to teach your dog to sit in the back

It is not your dogs fault that you are not responsible enough to put the dog in a position where he cannot affect your driving.
