Today, after rolling my car on the highway, I witnessed several people stop and get out of their cars to take pictures. No one asked if I was okay, and I was the one who had to call 911 for myself. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I saw a crash on the highway. The police weren't yet there, so I pulled over to help because I know CPR. No one needed CPR, but I had locked myself out of my car. My roadside assist won't come to highways, so I had to get towed away in front of everyone. FML
Today, I saw a bad car wreck. I pulled over and ran to the car to find an unconscious man behind the wheel. Another car pulled up, and a guy got out. I was relieved to have help, until, to my horror, he started trying to hit on me. I was stuck with him until the ambulance arrived. FML
Today, a car hit me. I didn't get hurt, but someone called 911. The old woman who had hit me got out of the car with no problem to look at me, and gets back into the car. When the police arrive, she pulls out crutches and said I made strange faces and made her hit me. I got blamed. FML
Today, as I was driving home, I saw a woman get hit by a car. I immediately parked on the side of the road to assist her. I called an ambulance and stayed with her until they came to get her, comforting her all the while. When I returned to my car, I found a parking ticket in my windshield. FML
Today, as I was crossing the slush covered street to catch the bus, I slipped and fell right in the middle of the road. A woman in a car rolled down her window. She didn't ask if I was okay but just laughed and took a picture of me covered in cold, wet slush. FML
Today, on my way to work, I noticed a woman on the side of the road waving for help, her car appearing to be broken down. I pulled over, stepped out of my car, went over to her car, lifted the hood, and checked it. When I looked up to tell her what was wrong, she and my car were gone. FML
Today, I received a call from the police about a car accident that I was a witness to. As the only witness who stopped to help, I was remembered by the other cars involved. They're blaming me for the accident. The cops want to talk. FML
Today, as I was driving to work, I witnessed a kid apparently getting jumped. Being a good citizen, I got out and started yelling at them. I ended up alongside the kid in the hospital. FML
Today, a car was waiting for me to cross the street so I thought it would be funny to slowly limp across the street. When I got to the end, I jumped as high as I could to show I was faking. Turns out I tripped and hit my head hard on the sidewalk. That car took me to the hospital. FML
Today, my tire blew while I was on the freeway. I had to change the tire in pouring rain while wearing short shorts and flip-flops. No one stopped to help, but several people politely honked as if to remind me of my misfortune. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Is there such thing as a bad Samaritan?

I assume you're okay because you posted but people should seriously help first. It's ridiculous that they would take pics. I assume any of them in the same position would want someone to come to their aid.

It's unfortunate that that's one of the downsides of the smartphone era we live in today. People so focused on taking pictures that they don't have the sense to call 911

I'm sorry mate, but that's how it is in America. Land of the sharks with no empathy whatsoever. If it happened anywhere else in the world, people would help, not take pictures. That's just not nice.

I'm going to politely disagree. While I can see why other countries may have that perception of the US, it's still a blanket stereotype, and it's invalid. There are good people in the US, just like there are bad people in other countries.

I'd be upset if someone called the cops. Maybe they thought u didn't want the heat in.

Care to explain why? Under what circumstances would a potentially dying person NOT want attention, police or otherwise?

People are horrible. I once got got hit by a car , my neighbor saw the whole thing and just kept talking on her phone as a was sprawled out on the street. And no she wasn't calling 911! Luckily my husband was home and heard me screaming. It made me think about getting one of those old people necklaces that calls 911 for you, at least you could help yourself out in an emergency. Sorry op...people these days!

Was it your fault that you rolled the car in the first place?

That happened to me a few years ago when I rolled and totalled my car. A guy stopped, looked, then kept going. :P
