Today, after getting my car completely fixed after it being damaged for a year, I was driving and the entire side panel on the car fell off. The repair man forgot to put the screws back in. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I got my car back from the repair shop. After paying $400 for them to fix the scratches on the driver's side door, some one decided to key both sides of my car while I was on my lunch break from work. FML
Today, I finally got my car back after it was in the auto shop for a week. On my way home, I started swerving all over the road. It turns out they didn't tighten the lug nuts on one of my wheels properly. FML
Today, I took my car into the shop to get a minor problem fixed. I left several hours later, without my car. Why? The mechanic crashed it while out on a test drive to make sure he'd fixed the problem. FML
Today, my car was broken in for a second time in a month and a half, and for the second time it's now Inoperable. I only got it returned from repairs two days ago. FML
Today, I picked up my car after I got it painted. As I backed up in the parking lot, my car scraped against a pillar. Now I have to put it right back in the shop. FML
Today, I paid $2300 to a mechanic for fixing my car. It's also the day I got into an accident and totalled said car. FML
Today, I woke up to find the entire driver's side of my car wrecked. Front door, back door, front and rear bumper smashed to shit. A drunk driver had hit it the previous night and ran. Don't worry though, he stopped and left his insurance information. He keyed it into the undamaged side of my car. FML
Today, I backed a van into another car at work, damaging the tailgate in the process. I work at a panel beater. The van I was driving had just had a brand new tailgate put on. FML
Today, my dad was looking for something in the garage and accidentally knocked over a heavy box, which crushed the new side view mirror I'd bought for my car, because the one my car originally had, he smashed it against a pole while driving my car recently. FML
Today, on Christmas Eve, as I was getting my car loaded for the holiday rounds to the in-laws and parents, my car decided now was the time to break down. I recently put in over $1000 fixing it. FML

"The entire side panel"? As far as I can recall, all cars have about 6 panels on the side, and some of those also make up part of the roof and the front of the car.

is that even how car panels work?

Geez, I guess I'll go into detail. Last November I got hit by a girl who will not admit it and there were no witnesses. Since I have liability insurance, I don't get any help paying for the $2000 worth of damage that she caused. I'm a college student and therefore have no money and have been working part time the whole year trying to earn enough money to fix it. And no it's not the whole side panel dumb ass, I just really can go into that much detail on a post. It was the front drivers side fender that is connected with various screws and clips and it just so happens that the clips will hold it on but only at speeds under 30mph....

Those clips don't know how fast your car is going. If the panel fell off, so did you wheel well liner (if you still have one like most cars made since the late 80's do). Not a FYL. Take it back and get it fixed right. If they won't, contact the local news paper about the shady business they are running. That will get results. Actually, once the wheel liner is removed, it is usually on 3-4 screws holding it on... most of the work is done by those clips. The screws are usually for fitment, not attachment.
