Today, I was really excited that I'd made it the two weeks I'd borrowed my mother-in-law's new car without putting a scratch on it. I got off work to discover a customer's child throwing rocks in the parking lot. They cracked the windshield. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I purchased a new car. On the drive home, gusts of wind blew up debris and pebbles and caused little chips in the paint and small chips on the windshield. FML
Today, I was driving home on the highway with my wife and her parents. As I overtook another car, a rock got kicked up into our windshield. My wife screamed about the crack it created, while my mother-in-law goaded her on and mocked my "piss-poor driving." FML
Today, I was mowing my yard when I hit a small rock, which hit my shed. I got done mowing and realized that it wasn't a small rock, it was my son's toy plyers and it wasn't my shed, it was my car window, which had shattered on impact. FML
Today, I accidentally hit someone's car while in the supermarket car park. I left a note, went shopping, and when I came back my windows were shattered, my tires were slashed, and "FUCK YOU" was written on my windshield. FML
Today, I wanted to go shopping in my new car that I bought just a month ago. When I stepped outside, I saw someone had smashed the driver side's window. They didn't even steal anything. FML
Today, I locked my keys in my car. I was late for work so I went to smash the side window with a big rock. The rock bounced off the window and into my face. FML
Today, my mom had been in a really bad mood. She got in the car to take me to work, and without thinking, started backing up. The garage door was only half open, and now has a huge dent in it. FML
Today, I got to drive my mom's car. I'd recently watched the new Fast and Furious movie, I thought it'd be fun to drift around a few corners. I ended up smashing straight into someone's front yard. FML
Today, I couldn't get into my car. In an attempt to get in, I broke a window. As I climbed in, the actual owner of the car walked up. Mine was across the street. FML
Today, after work, I found my car in the middle of the empty parking lot with a huge crack in the windshield that wasn't there in the morning. Looks like I have to get the windshield replaced. Again. For the fourth time now. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

You did do a great job! What happened wasn't your fault. But if you did nothing about it then it will be. I sure hope you pulled the mother aside and called the police. The mother is responsible for the damages. Stay on the phone with the operator so you are able to identify her vehicle and plates if she tries to stay awaym. Obviously the event is done, but you are always allowed to call the police of there's destruction of personal property.

Make the brat's parents pay for it. They need to take responsibility for their mistakes.

You sure the kid wasn't paid to do that?

"The customer's always right" only applies inside the store. In the parking lot, the customer is a shit parent who is financially responsible for the damage caused by their brats.

"The customer is always right" doesn't apply anywhere. Your expired coupon can't magically become unexpired because you're a customer. People that believe in that antiquated idea are the rude customers that make any customer service job hell. They forget we're people just like you, not robots created to serve to your every demand.

You get excited about not damaging a car for two weeks? Are you sure you should be driving?

I don't think they're a bad driver. They're just happy that they didn't damage the car whatsoever because it belonged to someone else.

How hard is it to teach your child not to damage other people's property? A simple no and a smack to their face is all that's needed.

Didn't you hear? Disciplining your child is child abuse now.

What's happen to the car wasn't you fault get the parents info and make them pay for any damage that was cause to the car. If your mother in law gets mad at you then then she one of those mother in laws from hell

It's not your fault some brat was throwing rocks at your MIL's car. And you should report to the police that you saw a child throwing rocks at the car and damaging it. (Hopefully you know which customer it was so they can be held liable.)

I would have made the parents pay for the damages
