Today, I got rear-ended because my ultra-clingy girlfriend wouldn't let go of my hand long enough for me to shift gears. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my girlfriend threatened to break up with me because I crossed the street without holding her hand. FML
Today, I was driving to work, following my girlfriend's car. I looked down to change the radio station and felt a large bump. I rear-ended my girlfriend. FML
Today, after a large, dramatic fight with my girlfriend in a parking lot, we stopped arguing altogether and hugged, dropping the issue. Twenty seconds later, I accidentally slammed her hand in the car door, breaking two of her fingers. FML
Today, after breaking up with my girlfriend, we were stuck behind a 7-car accident for 2 hours in the car. FML
Today, I met a girl at a bar. After buying her a few drinks, we decided to head back to her place. Not wanting to leave either of our cars, I followed her home. While driving, she sent me text because she missed her exit. I tried to text her back something witty and instead rear ended her. FML
Today, while at a stop light, I was rear-ended by a car behind me. The guy got angry at me, because according to him, I should've known that his car has poor braking distance, and so I should've moved forward a few more feet to compensate. FML
Today, my clingy girlfriend refused to leave me alone long enough for me to read an article about dealing with clingy girlfriends. FML
Today, my girlfriend and I were on the road. She saw that I got an innocent text from a friend, Melissa. In a fit of jealous rage, she put the gear of my car to “P” causing the car behind me to rear end me. My bumper fell off. She told me, “Tell that bitch Melissa to take care of that.” FML
Today, I got a cute girl's number for the first time. Too bad it was because she rear ended my car. FML
Today, while driving, a girl on her cellphone cut me off. A second later, another person behind me on a cellphone rear ended me. Her excuse was, "I'm sorry, you weren't there a minute ago!" FML

At first I thought that said you rear-ended your girlfriend, OP. I guess it's unfortunate for you that you didn't.

Boundaries...

A long talk with her...
1947Chevy 17
54 that's not a real solution. If she is that clingy then OP should defiantly talk to her about it.

Much men prefer stick its nicer to drive, wow.

You shouldn't be holding hands to begin with if you have stick shift! That is so dangerous!

My sentiments exactly. YDI for holding hands whilst driving a stick. OP should know better. I think you're both to blame.

Also - did she really clutch his hand so hard that he couldn't shake her off, or did he not even try because he was too scared of offending her? Sitting in moving car is really not the time to be concerned about your girlfriend's sensitivities. There are other people on the road that could've seriously gotten hurt in that accident. Next time someone keeps you from driving safely, pull over and tell them to cut it off immediately.

YDI OP. You really could've just pushed her hand away when you needed to shift. My boyfriends done it several times and I survived with an apology. You were the one driving and you should've had control over the situation.

that's why I want another 5 speed so I don't have to hold hands while driving
dabears1011234 27
That was proven when he got in the accident.

#46 why would you hold hands while driving?? and also, why should he apologize for trying to drive safely?
strike2867 13
I don't understand why. I drive a stick and hold hands with my girlfriend all the time. You put your hand on top of the shift knob and she puts her hand on top of yours. Been doing it for 6+ years without any issues.

I'm with #68 on this one, My Wife and I have been holding hands while I drive my stick shift for years without incident. She knows when I need to change gears and sometimes has her hand over mine while I do. Also, if failing to change gears caused OP to be rear ended then the person following was way too close and they are definitely at fault.

I drive stick as well, and that's how my boyfriend I do it or if we have linked fingers, I just take his hand with me and shift with both our hands around it.
sirpantselot 22
I'm in 68's camp too. It's not hard

you know nothing then.

Traffic can't stop love! Good luck with that talk OP.

Make her hold your other stick next time.

Slap that bitch, haha jk

It's not that hard... And if it's that much of an issue, have her put her hand over yours on the shifter. Problem solved. Problem staying solved.

hey just be happy you have a gf even if she is clingy its better then her not showing any emotion toward the relationship be happy that she shows she cares sorry about the accident though hope everything's okay :)

Not having a girlfriend is a LOT better than having one that values emotional gestures more than basic road safety. At least being single is probably not going to get you killed.

Maybe you'd have a girlfriend if you didn't convey entire paragraphs with zero punctuation. I'm imagining a conversation where someone talks with no pauses. Seems ******* exhausting.

35, it is. One of my friends talks the way 10 just typed. She just keep going until she starts turning red in the face from lack of oxygen intake. Talking with her becomes this strange mix of annoyance and fascination. We keep trying to tell her that she doesn't have to blurt everything out quickly with no pauses, but she's still skeptical about the whole idea of taking breaths between sentences.

I had an ex like that was way to clingy, and being single would've been better.
