Today, I drove into the parking lot at work, and discovered too late that there were patches of ice everywhere. As I turned to enter my usual spot, I lost control of the vehicle, and despite my pleas, praying, and profanity, it glided straight into my boss's car. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, while I was backing out of the my work's parking lot, I hit my boss's truck. While he was in it. FML
Today, I got to my underground parking garage at work and saw my boss pulling into a spot. I thought I would show him my reverse parking skills and decided to park beside him. As I was pulling in he opened his door to get out and I smashed into it, nearly running him over. FML
Today, I lost control of my car on a patch of ice and slid off the road, messing up my car. I was working on a news story about bad road conditions. FML
Today, I found my company car wrecked in a ditch. Apparently, leaving it parked on an icy hill all night was a bad idea. I have to pick up my manager from the airport. FML
Today, I stepped out of my car and slipped on a fresh coating of ice on the ground. I tried to catch myself by grabbing the car on my way down, but unfortunately, I was trying to grab with the hand that was holding my car keys. I key-scratched my own car. FML
Today, as I was driving to work in the aftermath of a terrible blizzard that came through my area last night, a lady slid through an intersection and hit my car, totaling it. I called my boss and told her what happened, only to have her tell me that we were closed due bad roads. No one told me. FML
Today, I slid on ice and hit another car while driving to work. My car was totalled, and my leg hurt, while the other car had very little damage. Not two minutes later, the salt truck drove by, spraying the road. FML
Today, I snuck out of work 2 hours early. As I was speeding away so I wouldn't be seen, I rear-ended my boss as he was leaving the lower parking lot for a late lunch. FML
Today, a learner driver was practicing maneuvers in the parking lot at work. This happens a lot, and my colleagues and I usually have fun watching and laughing. It was all fun and games as usual, until the learner crashed into my car. FML
Today, the roads were OK, so I cleaned the ice and snow off my car so I could go out. I rolled my window down a little bit while I was driving to clear the snow off the base of the window. A chunk of ice flew off my hood, in through the window, and hit my eye. I then hit a snowbank. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I really can't imagine that you would be going fast enough while turning into a parking space to slam into another car. But then again, I live in Arizona. No such problems as icy roads.

Yeah for those that don't live in a northern type climate, if the I've is "glare" enough (ie. Really really smooth and slick) you can actually build up speed as you are trying to stop.

Ice, not I've. Sorry- predictive text and all

Ah. Yeah, I don't have those problems. :)

How ******* fast were you pulling into a parking spot to be able to slide at all? Maybe if you didn't drive like a berserk maniac this wouldn't have happened.

To be fair with normal tyres it is pretty easy to slide even with a very slow turn. Trust me...don't ask why, just...trust me.

A mere 10 miles an hour would be plenty fast to lose control driving on ice. I guess that would still be too fast for pulling into a spot, but not necessarily pulling into the lot itself.

True, but OP states he was pulling into his parking spot. If you're going any faster than a few kph, you deserve what happens as a consequence.

Docbastard, I don't know where you live as my phone app doesn't allow me the privilege of seeing where folks are from, but if you hit the right type of ice with any forward momentum you can actually slide for multiple feet before stopping. Especially if you have bad tires

32- bang on. You other 3 jackals: Doesn't matter how slippery, wet, icy, or dry the road is--you are the one behind the wheel, YOU are responsible for driving to conditions. You spin out in the ice, then you were driving too fast. NO EXCUSES. I've got 150,000 professional miles (in the past 3 years) driven on some of the most godawful winter wasteland roads without an accident. If *I* can do it, anyone can. OP is from IL--should know better.

Blah, blah, blah, by "professional" miles I will presume you are a truck driver which means if you have a 5x10 patch of ice you still have at least 14 tires getting grip this no sliding. Now get your ass inca small car that fits on said patch and its a whole different ballgame. We didn't say anything about responsibility; we said that sometimes, no matter how slow you roll, if you hit ice you get forward momentum and can't stop

That happens, you have auto insurance right? Or you could have called in sick while you drive away, hit and run style.

Awgh that sucks! I guess you got yourself into a slippery situation, but let's just hope your boss will be a little understanding considering that it's the holidays :)

Haha.."no, no, no, NOOO NOO PLEASE GOD ALLAH ZEUS LUCIFER WHOEVER YOU ARE DONT LET THIS HAPPEN F*** S*** M************ D*** A**!!" - All in the time span of 5 seconds. I don't think you"ll have enough money to pay for the auto repair after your boss finds out what happened. Sorry OP. :P

How did you know it was the boss's car? Was it also wearing a $700 Armani suit?
