Today, I hit a car while trying to answer a phone call from my mom. I quickly answered the phone and shouted "What!?". To which she replied, "I just had a bad feeling in my gut about you so I wanted to make sure you were ok." FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was hit by a car. I called my girlfriend from the hospital and asked her if she could pick me up. She responded by saying "Fuck you, you aways tell me what to do!" and hung up. FML
Today, while driving, I got a call on my cell phone. Trying to be safe and avoid an accident, I pulled into the nearest parking lot before answering. While I was turning in to park, someone rear-ended me. FML
Today, I was driving home and got a phone call from my mom. She called to tell me that there was a cop at the bottom of our hill, and to be careful. I got a ticket for talking on my cell phone while driving. FML
Today, I checked my inbox and realized I got an email from a potential employer, saying they were having trouble getting a hold of me by phone. They called while my mom was using my phone to look up directions to a place, and she answered, kindly hanging up when they asked for me. FML
Today, while on the road, my dad called twice before I pulled over and answered the phone. He first got mad at me for not answering, and then again later for "paying attention to my phone" while driving. FML
Today, I wrecked my car because my mom texted me, telling me not to text and drive. FML
Today, I went on a date, and halfway through I started getting nonstop calls from “Mom” on my phone. Annoyed, I silenced them. Later, I checked my voicemail. It was actually my mom calling from the ER because she had slipped and broken her ankle. FML
Today, my mom didn’t answer the phone when I called. My husband promptly said, with a straight face, “Would you answer you?” FML
Today, while in the car with my mom, she gave me a lecture about how bad of a driver I am. During that process she ran a red light and hit a car. FML
Today, I called my mom for the first time in a few weeks, just to chat because I miss her. When she picked up, the first thing she said was, "Why are you calling? What's wrong? Do you have swine flu??" When I told her that I didn't, and I just wanted to chat, she hung up. FML

You people know that you've all done it before. Do you really want to throw the first stone here?

And they deserve it also. I wouldn't consider it undeserved if it happened to me while I was messing around with my phone.

The word 'retarded' is very inappropriate and dehumanizing.

So many people think it shows they're a multi-tasker when they're able to talk on the phone and do something else...like breathe, for instance. The OP here is a single-tasker, and probably not very good at it.

The OP sounds like a brat and is most likely going to have his mom pay for the ticket or whatever damage there was because it 'wasn't his fault that SHE called him'.

Uh... what's wrong with a handsfree kit?! buy one! then you can keep both hands on the wheel and talk on the phone at the same time :P

Wow. You kinda had that coming for trying that hard to answer your phone while you're driving.

the only time you dont have both hands on the wheel while driving is if you like myself have a manual transmission car and your shifting through the gears.

Oh goddd people, lighten up! I agree talking on a phone while driving is bad, but whatever happened to just LAUGHING at a fml? Isn't that what this site is for? Making people laugh? Jeez it's a funny situation, and everyone makes mistakes. No one has a sense of humor anymore.

The OP could've caused a serious accident, they could've serious injured or killed someone for being so careless. A huge percentage of car crashes are because of phones. How is it funny that the OP caused a car crash from being inconsiderate and reckless
