Today, my car got keyed because I was parked in a handicapped parking spot. I'm handicapped. FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, someone tried to break into my car. They tried to do so by jamming a key into my lock, only for the key to break. I guess the key cut their hand, because I had the pleasure of finding the person's blood all over my passenger door. FML
Today, my car broke down in the middle of nowhere. I walked about 3 miles to the nearest house to call a tow truck. When I got back to where I left my car, it was gone. FML
Today, I witnessed a car accident. Being an experienced paramedic, I rushed to the scene to see if anyone needed help. As I assessed the people involved, one of them pickpocketed me. FML
Today, I asked a traffic cop if it was okay to park my car briefly in a 'Monday to Friday only' parking spot, since it's Saturday. She politely replied I could. I came back less than ten minutes later, only to find a parking ticket stuck to my windshield. FML
Today, my car was stolen. I got it back later without the engine, any of the wheels or my brand new radio and speakers. They even took my car mats. FML
Today, my boss entrusted me with his car to run an errand, as I usually take the bus. I managed to get there and back safely before someone slammed into me while I was re-entering the lot, causing major damage. It was his wife, who thought I was a car thief. FML
Today, while walking down the street, a truck hit a puddle and splashed me with water. After I cursed and flipped him off, he put his truck in reverse and splashed me again. FML
Today, I was driving when I saw someone pulled over on the side of the road. Wanting to help, I pulled over. In so doing, I ran over something that popped my tire. The guy had just pulled over to pee. FML
Today, my car broke down. My colleague came to get me and then, later, my husband picked me up from work. We went to collect my abandoned car, but it was gone. It took 10 minutes of me panicking and thinking it had been stolen before he crumpled in laughter and told me he'd already collected it. FML
Today, anticipating another stressful day of work, I left my house with a cluster of thoughts in my mind. It was only when I heard my front door lock behind me, my hand still resting on the handle, that I realised I had forgotten my house keys. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Some old folks are resentful that the handicapped get preferential parking, since they think they merit this on age alone. We know this because we have a wheelchair bound child and old farts constantly holler at us for stealing 'their' parking space. The disabled have these spaces because it is difficult enough for them to get from Point A to Point B without having to schlep across a big lot, whereas the able-bodied CAN do this. Most of them are just lazy and prefer not to. For us it is not necessarily about the space, although I admit it's great to not have to wheel her across a big lot in the rain since she can't hold an umbrella due to her cerebral palsy and it's hard to hold one over her and push her at the same time. We need the space beside the space so we can drop her ramp and off-load her. I am constantly disgusted at the people who are resentful that the disabled get 'preferential' treatment. Wanna trade, assholes? I'll take a healthy, normal child and park in the last space and we'll turn yours into the kid who will never walk or talk or have a normal IQ so you can take the good parking spaces.

I completely agree with you!

Thank you, No. 66. It is difficult enough to be disabled without having anger and resentment hurled at you by people whose biggest problem is that they had a longer walk to get to the mall food court.

I'm not disabled, or handicapped, but I really hate old people who think that have self-entitlement for everything because of age. I also hate people like #56 (comment might get deleted) who think the handicap and disabled dont deserve these "special right's", it's disgusting.

Nicely said, Bankrupt. I couldn't agree more. Able-bodied people (including the elderly) who take these spots should get tasered with alacrity.

Thank you, DocBastard. My little girl's life is difficult enough without nasty crabs yelling at us over a PARKING SPACE. The people who have those spaces really wish they didn't need them.

They probably caught you doing the Funky Chicken, the Charleston and/or the Achy Breaky when you thought no one was looking.

I am also handicapped with serious back problems, but I am 24 and female and in really good shape because I work out to help my back problems. Everyone from police officers to handicapped people to even non-handicapped people have told me to move out of handicapped spaces because I am "not handicapped enough", though I have a permanent placard and disability ID. But the worst is when people use the spaces because they've decided their handicapped, older people do that ALL the time, but the worst is pregnant women. Sorry, pregnant ladies you either need a doctor's note saying you can't walk or get some exercise for your baby!

Sorry for my heinous misuse of the word "their" I mean't "they're". Also I feel I should clarify that "work out" doesn't mean marathon running and handicapped people can be in shape even if they can't walk.

I am 24, and have a handicap placard. I do not look disabled at all and most days I feel fine, but I do use a cane most of the time. I get the NASTIEST looks from people, usually old people, and some even comment and ask I'm actually disabled, or if I'm using my grandmas placard. It frustrates me to no end. I HATE it when someone parks in a spot and they don't have a placard. Especially old people, who think they get prime parking simply cause they're older. They're healthier than I am, ffs!!
