Today, I was intently watching my odometer to see it change from 99,999 to 100,000 when I ran into the back of another vehicle. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I rear-ended someone while trying to watch my odometer hit 80,000 miles. FML
Today, I was driving in stop and go traffic and passed two accidents in the process. I got nervous and decided to change routes to avoid getting hit. As I was trying to find an alternative route on my GPS, I rear-ended the car in front of me. FML
Today, as I was driving to work, I glanced in my rear view mirror to see an old man behind me using binoculars to see in front of him since we were stuck in a huge traffic jam. He rear ended me. FML
Today, I was driving home from work and noticed the car behind me was tailgating me pretty badly. I was starting to get angry with the driver, and kept glancing in my rear view mirror at him. While I was doing so, the traffic ahead of me stopped, and I rear-ended the car in front of me. FML
Today, while driving to work in heavy traffic, I got so into the song I was listening to that I tapped my foot on the gas to the beat. I rear-ended the car in front of me. FML
Today, I was riding my bike down a road I know is quite hazardous. Having almost been hit in the same spot the day before, I rode across the intersection very satisfied without having been injured. Until I crashed into the guy front of me and flipped over my handlebars. FML
Today, I was walking from my office to the place I had parked my car, a distance of approximately three blocks. As I was about to round the last corner, I was forced to dive out of the way of a speeding car. When I looked up, I noticed that it was my car. FML
Today, I was driving to work, following my girlfriend's car. I looked down to change the radio station and felt a large bump. I rear-ended my girlfriend. FML
Today, I managed to run over my own foot with my own car. FML
Today, there was a traffic accident on the highway which I normally take. I couldn't resist laughing at the driver since he was stupid enough to rear-end someone on the highway. What I didn't realize is that I forgot to pay attention to the road and rear-ended the car in front of me. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

You should've backed up if you wanted it back to 99,999 lol

That's not how this works. Reversing also counts towards the odometer because it counts how many revolutions the wheels have done etc.

37 you didn't finish the commercial. "that's not how this works. that's not how any of this works." regardless, I myself have watched the odometer, but I definitely did not keep my eyes peeled to it. should have looked up once in a while.

It wouldn't have been so bad if you stayed a safe distance away. What is it again-- 1 car length per 10 miles an hour? Maybe more in your case. As far as people saying keep your eyes on the road, you gotten look down somethings to make sure you're not speeding, right?

There's glancing and then there's staring...
Enslaved 38
Yeah, I agree. And there's also checking your mirrors, blind spots, gas gag etc.. Keeping your eyes planted solely on the road isn't the only thing to do to drive safer.

I have watched mine turn over, but glanced and still made sure I was more focused on the road. The way it happened for you does suck though. It's an FML and YDI situation. I have to say though, having OCD, I love to see nines change to zeros!

iiTzNeeNerz 26
You do realize that driving requires your full attention, right? YDI.
