Today, one of my tires blew out on the highway. I managed to slow down and pull over without dying, and went to get my spare tire. I found it right where it was supposed to be, knifed to hell and with a taunting note from my psycho ex taped to it. We broke up nearly 3 years ago. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my car got a flat tire. I jacked up my car, removed the flat, and went to get my spare out of the trunk. Where my spare is supposed to be, I found a note. It said, "You're a bitch - John". John is my ex-boyfriend. He borrowed my car the day we broke up, apparently he stole my spare tire too. FML
Today, I blew a tire without money for a spare, had to have my ex come get my kids, drove home on three tires, and possibly fucked things up with my girlfriend beyond repair. My girlfriend is the only person keeping me sane, and I might lose her. FML
Today, I caught my ex trying to slash my car tires with a knife. She actually had the balls to claim she was testing my tire pressure, before power-walking off into the distance like nothing had happened. FML
Today, I broke up with my boyfriend because he has anger issues. Tonight, my tires were slashed. FML
Today, I saw a car on the side on the highway with a popped tire. The driver didn't have a spare, so I nicely gave them mine. One hour later my tire popped. FML
Today, I was driving to an important job interview, and I was running late. Just as I was about to get on the highway, I saw my ex standing by the road with a flat tire. I stopped to help because I'm a nice person. Turns out, the spare tire was also flat. We called for a tow truck, and I missed my interview. FML
Today, I went to my boyfriend's house so that he could break up with me. I went out to my car to leave only to discover that all of the wheels had been stolen. Even the spare. I had to spend the rest of the day with my ex-boyfriend finding a way to get my car home. FML
Today, the disgruntled ex-boyfriend of a woman who lives three floors down from me slashed her tires for breaking up with him. He also, for good measure, slashed the tires of the person parked to the left and right of her. I was parked to the right of her. FML
Today, my tire blew while I was on the freeway. I had to change the tire in pouring rain while wearing short shorts and flip-flops. No one stopped to help, but several people politely honked as if to remind me of my misfortune. FML
Today, my husband blew a tire in a hidden pothole on the way to work. I picked him up in my car later that day, only to hit an entirely different pothole, bending my rim, and catapulting my hubcap into the woods. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

She was kind enough to write you a confession. Haul her ass to jail!
mistertbawk420 10
police wouldn't do shit except tell you to take it to small claims court
WipeHour 11
Looks like op is in mex, police ain't doing Jack shit unless he can pay them

Pretty sure that's classified as tampering with a motor vehicle
rydin10 18
Even if it isn't tampering with a motor vehicle, tires are expensive as f*** and therefore would not make it a small claims case
mistertbawk420 10
even at 200 a tire, that's still only 800 dollars, making it valid for small claims.
mistertbawk420 10
the fact that it's only one spare tire is meaningless in court, and you would actually spend more on court fees to settle the matter when you could just cut your losses and buy a new spare. OP has lost enough money by having to get a tow, they don't need to start a legal case over a ******* tire. *drops mic*

On the bright side you've went 3 years without a flat tire. Decent odds anyway.
hersheykisses511 18
Or she recently did it for no reason
Kobeh 13
Sounds like it's time for you to invest in a restraining order OP :)

I would be calling 911
sonasonic 34
I doubt 911 would work in Mexico, lest you have IDD... not.
ellymae96 25
Yikes. Buy a new tire and send her the bill! Better yet, buy 4 new ones and make her pay!
Grayness_ 26
is her ex, over 3 years, she's just going to ignore him.
Hildy93 21
Find her. Make her suffer.

Part of me feels really bad for you, but the other part of me thinks you're an idiot for not having even looked at your spare in almost 3 years. Maybe I'm weird, but keeping and ensuring a well-inflated spare and a jack with me at all times is a must.
lil_juggalette 15
I think he was implying that she did it recently. as is she's stalking him
Vanderdale 14
I think OP's point was that even though he and his crazy ex broke up three years ago, they still aren't over it. They likely knifed it much more recently. There's a better than even chance that the ex is responsible for his tire blowing out on the highway as well.

Thanks for the input. I hope we get a follow up!

If they have been split for 3 years, and she hadn't done it back then, how would she have actually gotten to his spare tyre? It's not like she would have access to the keys. Op would have noticed a break in. That suggests it was done 3 years ago and Op needs to check their spare more often! Plus if it was that long ago the ex has probably gotten over it and regrets her actions.

The spare tire is often under the car
Jowisee 29
In the UK the spare is in the boot of the car. It seems weird to keep it underneath considering this sort of situation! Also, it is his own fault if he doesn't lock his car.
Mr_Mole 24
Why would you rotate the spare? Unless it's different from the UK, our tyres can only fit on one side, so can only be moved from front to back. The spare is the only tyre that can go either side, which gives it inferior grip and is only used short term.
core01 30
UK tyres can be rotated to both sides.

You're assuming it's a full sized spare. A lot of cars, like mine don't.

#32 my spare tire is in the back of my car. many cars like suv models have it on the back
disney_blonde 16
Most modern cars have doughnut spares to save space, so they don't rotate them in with the tires. You should, however, check your spare's pressure every so often.
timinator5000 28
who rotates spares? they are a different size.

I bet you grew tired of her tireless craziness
Grayness_ 26
Everybody is going to tell you to make her pay for what she did. Don't worry bro, karma will get her back. Just do your thing and move on with your life.
Our_name_ 14
OP Talk to her.. And tell her she needs therapy she's probably so lonely that she remanences the past and can't let go of it
SubparAtBest 23
How's about we don't talk to the psycho who destroyed the spare tire and probably sabotaged the first.
Brandi_Faith 34
Ya, I don't think insulting a psycho ex is a good idea. It's been 3 years, op should probably continue on with his life ignoring her. You don't want to be dragged into more drama with a crazy ex when you can continue with your new life. Plus if op doesn't retaliate than there's a good chance she will move on and not continue to do stupid things.
