This FML is from back in 2011 but it's good stuff
United Kingdom
There goes the neighborhood
Today, I was walking down the road when a twat on a quad-bike smashed into my leg. It seems that I should've been "walking on the right side of the pavement." FML

You got hit by a talking ******? It's ironic that the ****** acted like a douchebag.

I don't want to get hit by a car, it's too mainstream. Im ahead of everyone, I hit cars before they hit me. Also I secretly like to lick their windows. But that just between you and me.

I'm pretty sure quads aren't allowed on the pavement. What a dickwad.

How exactly does her comment equal facepalm?

The OP clearly states they were waking down the ROAD in the first sentence of the FML. Can be interpreted a couple of ways.

Soooo many idiots...he's in the UK, guys. Learn to look before you make brainless comments. This assumes, of course, that you are capable of ANY other type.

Providing we consider the lack of information given by the OP, I'm going with him walking down the middle. In this case, given his obviously inebriated state, he is lucky that the impact didn't knock hiss ass into oncoming traffic thus his FML would become a Darwin award.

I think a few people are getting confused here. To say you are "walking down the road" doesn't mean you are walking amongst the traffic it is an expression used when on a pavement as the "road" is a generic term for the thoroughfare in general, ie someone lives "down the road". So he was on the pavement where the quad should not have been and there are no rules regarding which side to walk on so he is not in the wrong. FYL.

It says 'pavement' can you Americans not understand what a pavement is? They weren't walking on the road... -_-

In the USA "pavement" is generally used as a term defining an area where vehicles travel. We use the term sidewalk as the area designated for pedestrian and some non-motorized traffic. Given this discrepancy, there will be comments accordingly.

In America, "pavement" is synonymous with "road". Apparently in the UK, "pavement" is synonymous with "sidewalk". We use words differently. No need to be a douche about it.
