Today, I did a California stop during a drive with my Driver's Ed teacher. He made me get out, hug the stop sign and apologize to it. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I was rear-ended while at a stop sign, by my driving instructor. FML
Today, while I was driving, I saw my driving instructor from high school walking on the sidewalk. As I waved to him, I rear-ended the car in front of me. Guess I really showed him how much I learned from him. FML
Today, I took my driving test. It was all going well until out of habit from driving with my boyfriend, I reached over and held my instructor's hand. FML
Today, I had my first driving lesson. I learned how to be stopped by a cop, who told me what a horrible driver I was. FML
Today, as I was taking the driver's test to get my license, I backed into a car. It belonged to the instructor sitting in my passenger seat. FML
Today, I got pulled over during my driving test. FML
Today, while driving to my girlfriend's house, I passed up a stop sign without stopping. A car passing by honked. I honked back several times and flipped them the finger. Turns out it was my girlfriend's dad trying to say hi. FML
Today, I went to take my driver's test, and I did almost everything perfectly. The last thing was to back into a driveway. As I went to put my hand on the passenger seat to look over my shoulder, I got so nervous that I hit my instructor in the face. FML
Today, I hit a parked car. It happened to be my driving instructor's car. While he was instructing me, sitting in the passenger seat. I don't think I'll pass. FML
Today, I was having a driving lesson. I ended up driving so badly that my instructor asked me to stop the car. Not so he could explain my mistakes to me, but so he could get out and vomit. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

As an Australian, I have no idea what a California stop is

Despite being the opposite of a California stop, I do think that acknowledging stop signs' feelings is vaguely Californian

You should STOP whatever the hell you are doing and START obeying the law.

It's people like you that make it unsafe for pedestrians. There is a stop sign for a reason and your driver's education teacher should have failed you.

Sounds more like a Canadian stop to me haha.

We call that a rolling stop. Damn Californians always trying to credit for everything. You already have a California roll and a California burrito.

That just shows he has a good sense of humour, don't be upset. I failed the first driving test I took because I missed a stop sign, so I guess that lesson was learned the hard way, not just by hugging.

Ok but why would you half ass your driving while you're with the person teaching you to drive??

My mom actually has a friend from California who was driving in a different state and got pulled over by a cop. The first thing the cop asked was "You're from California, aren't you?" The guy said yes and asked why. "Because you just did a California stop."

I'm liking this instructor. That is a great way to make a point so you will remember it.
