Today, I totaled my car, because I mistook the leaves blowing across the road for a child. I swerved and hit a tree. The home owner wants to sue for "harming his tree" and hospital wants to test my mental stability. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I decided to clear up some storm damage. I carefully cut a tree that was threatening to fall on my house. It fell on my neighbor's house instead. He's taking me to court for damages. FML
Today, the tree that my neighbors have neglected to cut down fell on my car. They claim that by law, they aren't responsible and don't have to pay for it. FML
Today, I was in a college band rehearsal when I got a call, saying, "Your car was just hit by a tree!" I said, "Yeah, right!" and hung up on her. Minutes later, the band manager walked in and told me that my car was totaled. I then went and stood in the rain to watch a tree get cut off my car. FML
Today, I swerved off the road and hit a tree in order to avoid hitting a dog that came out of nowhere. Don't worry, I didn't hit him. The person behind me did, though. FML
Today, my neighbors threatened to sue me because a six-foot branch fell off one of my trees and into their yard, hitting nothing on the way down. FML
Today, a tree fell on our 3-month-old family car. Today, I also learned that my husband never insured it. It's probably scrap, and we still have to pay it off for the next 5 years. FML
Today, I accidentally bumped into another car on the road. The worst of the damage was a slight chip to the other driver's paint, but she played it up so much that she ended up being taken away in an ambulance. I'm now terrified that the crazy bitch is going to sue me. FML
Today, I ran a stop sign that was completely obscured by foliage, in a city I was unfamiliar with. A city bus then T-boned me. My car is now totalled, and I’m afraid this will now go to court. FML
Today, a car hit me. I didn't get hurt, but someone called 911. The old woman who had hit me got out of the car with no problem to look at me, and gets back into the car. When the police arrive, she pulls out crutches and said I made strange faces and made her hit me. I got blamed. FML
Today, I crashed my car. I saw a deer getting ready to run into the middle of the road, and I was very sleepy, so I panicked and slammed on the brakes, causing me to lose control of the car on the wet road. After I hit a tree, I realized that the deer was a plastic lawn ornament. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I really don't see how you can mix those two up... Well at least if the hospital finds you crazy you'll get a little vacation.

Hmm, those doctors are crazy (no pun intended) if they think it's completely "normal" for people to see things that obviously not there leading to a myriad of colorful diagnoses that they probably think you COULD have:( All I can say In your case though, granted there was leaves blowing across the road so you haven't lost your *hit and gone insane...your not completely there...YET, Just remember that for MOST borderline personality disorders are almost just that, on the border, between neurotic and psychotic, sure your mind might occasionally cross over and visit but you don't live there. I feel like I'v gone into way to much thought for this but I do have ADHD so lol o well

Humans see shapes and faces in many things. What would be important to know for this story is the time of day and visibility.

It's called Pareidolia. It's a psychological phenomenon involving a vague and random sound or image being perceived as significant. Like the man in the moon or shaped clouds or even "face" recognition in mirrors etc.

Hey #98 thats a important variable in this FML, Just think poor OP could of been out driving at 2:00am in a friggin blizzard when those leaves blew across the street, (of course the new question would be WHY there would be a kid out at that time but hey better safe than sorry, Or it coulda been like rainy or something...

Hey #50 You are quick witted and as sharp as a bowling ball,
bizarre_ftw 22
Don't you mean sharp as a tick?

I think you missed the point.. and it's tack not tick
docscientist 10
I think we're all missing the point.

But 54, perhaps you should consider the possibility that this fml is unrelated as there are many trees, every day, just waiting to be hit by a vehicle.

Hey #101 That's true, there's plenty of stuff to crash your- (not you as in you, you as in anybody perhaps, that owns and drives a) -car/truck/van/spaceship? at/on/in/through stuff. P.S. On a side note I had no ideas those evil b@$t@rds called trees where just waiting to GET me lol (just kidding I'v always known they hated me, 'cause they make their leaves look like children to try and trick me to lose control of my car and crash!!!

No one here is worried about the leaves

Today, some idiot crashed into my tree claiming he swerved because he thought a bunch of leaves were a kid. FML

Did you ask for a ride to work after?

Dude that sucks.... But don't worry you aren't the only one I've almost done that before and I mix trees and hard rails and dabree in the road up for tones of stuff and nearly crash my car.. At least you know if it was a kid you wouldn't have hit it!!!!

Is that the same homeowner who wouldn't drive you to work afterwards? I just love it when we get both sides of an FML on here. ;-)
