Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

Bad car day
Today, I got not one but two flat tires after hitting two separate potholes big enough to take chunks out if my original rim and to bend the shit out of my spare. This was in about a 3 mile radius and within minutes of each other. FML

Today, on my way to work, I hit a pothole about the size of Alabama, bending my wheel and flattening my tire. After changing it and having to explain myself to my furious boss, I went back on that road in my other car to take a picture of the pothole. While looking for it, I hit it again. FML

Goddamn it
Today, I came back from a 700-mile round trip. I hit a massive pothole I couldn't avoid and blew out a tire and bent my rim. I was less than a mile from my house. FML

Potholed out
Today, my husband blew a tire in a hidden pothole on the way to work. I picked him up in my car later that day, only to hit an entirely different pothole, bending my rim, and catapulting my hubcap into the woods. FML

Infrastructure bill
Today, I ran over a pothole that was so small it barely qualified as a hole, more like a dent than a hole, but somehow it was still enough to completely crack the rim of my tire and made me 3 hours late to work. I get paid by the hour, so this will hurt my paycheck. FML

Today, I got a rental car because my car needed new tires and I had a long drive ahead of me. Today, the rental car got a flat tire. FML

Feeling let down
Today, after my fourth flat tire, I realized that I've had more flat tires in the last 2 years than months in relationships throughout my entire life. I'm 27. FML

Today, I went to have my tires replaced. While I was paying, the cashier asked if I would like a warranty for the tires. I said, "Nah, only idiots who can't drive need that." While pulling out of the parking lot, I took the turn too wide and popped my tire on the median. FML

Bad day
Today, I discovered a nail in the tire of my car and a nice sized crack on the screen of my phone. I didn't think the day could get worse, until on my way to fix my tire, the cherry of my cigarette fell off and burned a huge hole in my driver's seat. This was my day off. FML

I know how you feel here in Massachussets new potholes are created every damn Winter. Some are hard to avoid.

Uh...how did you not know to swerve to avoid the pothole? If you don't know that, you shouldn't have a license.

Pothole is a broad term; in my town, potholes cover half a city block.

If a pothole is unavoidable, slow the hell down. Not only you can ruin your tire but you may also damage your rim. Not fun. No one ever realizes that. They get new tires and they now have a vibration lol. So slow down

If they are both on the same side I can understand that but if it was one on each side that takes skill

I would be thoroughly impressed if you managed to flatten tires on opposite corners of the car. On another note, also being a Colorado driver, I totally understand the ridiculous pot holes on the roads here. I once saw a bumper sticker I want that reads "I'm not drunk! I'm just avoiding all the potholes!"
