Today, I found a parking spot in front of my work. I parked and another car pulled into the spot just in front of me. The next thing I know, the car in front backs up and slams into my car. Turns out she didn't notice the fire hydrant next to her spot and screamed at me cause I, "stole her spot." FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was driving around a parking lot, looking for an empty spot. Someone was backing out a bit too quickly as I was about to pass by, so I honked to announce myself. The driver instead panicked and reversed into my front bumper. FML
Today, I came outside to leave for work. To my shock and horror my car was gone. My asshole neighbor, who has parked in my spot multiple times decided to let her noisy guests park in my parking spot, so I parked in hers. She had my car towed. FML
Today, I tried to back my car into my parking space while some of my neighbors were out by their cars. I accidentally rammed into the retaining wall behind my spot. I was hoping the neighbors didn't notice the huge crunching sound, but they did. FML
Today, I backed my car into a parked car in a parking lot. Not only did I back into a parked car, but it was the ONLY parked car there. FML
Today, I pulled into a parking lot and waited for a car to back out so I could take their spot. The apparently batshit insane psychopath in the other car managed to completely overlook me waving him out, and backed straight into my car. FML
Today, I was parking my car outside of my apartment, but the big truck next to the spot went over the line. I squeezed in anyway. Later, I discovered the truck had left and someone keyed my car. They left a note saying, "Good parking job, asshole." FML
Today, after I arrived at work, somebody crashed into my parked car and left a big dent. The impact pushed my car up onto the curb and I got a parking ticket. FML
Today, I dropped off a box for my sister at her job. In a rush, I unknowingly parked in a reserved spot. When I got back to my car, I saw that my car was being towed. After successfully flirting myself out of an expensive towing bill, I backed into the pole behind me, leaving a noticeable dent. FML
Today, I met my new neighbors when they backed into my parked car. FML
Today, someone backed straight into my car as I was hunting for a parking spot. I just got my car back from the body shop after a hit-and-run. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Sounds like she was trying to find something to be mad at other than her own stupidity

Seems like she's an immature person who thinks public spaces belong to her. Hopefully you got her insurance and she calms the hell down after this. Smile at her as she tries to explain this to the cops.

I am 99 3/4% understanding of where she is coming from as you should be able to park next to fire hydrants, it's not like people are unable to go around cars or anything! But she still had terrible behavior

The reason you don't park beside fire hydrants is in case there's an emergency, the firefighters need direct and quick access to the hydrant. If they have to maneuver the hose around your car, it takes away valuable water pressure. If you're parked close, it makes it hard to unscrew the hydrant and attach the hose. I've seen them smash out a person's car windows because they couldn't get access to the hydrant otherwise. Not to mention, if they have to fiddle and work around your car, they're wasting valuable time that could be spent dealing with an emergency. It takes literally seconds for a fire to go from manageable to inferno. Don't park beside hydrants.

I witnessed the same thing, them breaking the windows out of a car and running the hose through the car. Even better if that the car flooded! It was a nice Mercedes or BMW, I can't remember which.

Then you should be able to buy a permit that says you don't mind having your car smashed... It saves time for everyone

I'm pretty sure just having common sense and Not parking in front of a fire hydrant will save time for everyone.

I don't think you understand. Parking beside hydrants makes a potential emergency harder and more dangerous than it already is. It isn't about you and what you don't mind being done to your car, it's about other people and the potential harm you could cause them for what is merely a minor inconvenience to you. Don't be selfish, you can find parking somewhere else, a hydrant, however, can't be moved and is usually the only one accessible within the vicinity. You shouldn't be allowed to park near them, period.

If a hydrant can be the only one available why can't the space near it be the only space available?

How can common sense make a physically nonexistent parking space appear?

As a fellow Canadian I know the struggle of trying to be a good person in a world full of people with the iq of a rock. But if someone were to yell at me like that I'd slap them and tear them a new one for not knowing how to park.

Dashcams are the way of the future. I recommend them to everyone. They not only stop instances like this going anywhere (it proves what she did so insurance or if she has none litigation will be straightforward) but it makes the person with the dashcam a better driver as they may catch themselves out doing stupid things if not.

This is when you slowly get out of your car with a tire iron in one hand and say "What?"
