Today, I bought a new $10,000 car since my old one broke down. Today, I also found out the old one wasn’t starting because i never had it in park. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I finally got enough money to buy the car I wanted for a year now. It was stolen today too. I had my car for 4 hours. FML
Today, my car broke down. Yesterday, my husband mentioned he found my dream car for sale, but I'd insisted my car had a lot of miles left and we should save money. They sold my dream car this morning. Now I'm carless. FML
Today, I got woken up by my parents telling me I had to go buy a car so they could have transportation. Neither of their cars work, so I was letting them use mine, and then they wrecked it. It needs nearly a thousand bucks in repairs to be drivable again, but since it was my car, I have to replace it now to appease them. FML
Today, my car was totaled. It was so new, I haven't even made the first payment on it yet. 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
Today, I bought my very first car that I spent years saving for. A few hours after I signed all the papers, I let my boyfriend go for a test drive. He totaled it. FML
Today, I bought a car. Made a down payment and everything. Have the papers saying it’s mine, only to find out a few hours later it was sold right before I bought it. 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 bought a different car because I was having to constantly repair my old one. On the way home from the dealer, the check engine light came on. FML
Today, I financed my first car. I also made my first call to AAA when it broke down. It barely had any miles on it and I wasn't even home yet. FML

So you're bad with money, and cars. Did you ask someone to help work out what was wrong with your old car, or did you give up after one attempt?

How did you manage to pass a driver's test? Unless you're driving a stick shift, YOU ALWAYS PUT IT IN "PARK" WHEN YOU PARK. That's why they call it "PARK"!

Why do we park on driveways and drive on parkways?

I’ve done this before. I was 16 or 17, and was waiting outside my dance studio to pick someone up. I had turned the car off to save gas, but never removed my foot from the brake, so I wasn’t aware I didn’t put it in park. Took me a bit to figure out the problem. Just one of those blonde moments.

Sounds like a sticky-shifty situation.

Upside: when your next FML is about the new car breaking down, everyone will remind you to put it in park first.

That stupid mistake aside, you never tried to even get your supposedly broken car checked/fixed and just went and bought a new car? You deserve every bit of this.

Captain? How can you ruin a car by not putting it in park?

The car can't start if it's in park.

Well I guess my hypothesis about at least one of either thr car or the owner having to be smart is wrong then. Because the car clearly is smart.
