Today, I hit a deer with a rental car... which I had to rent because I hit a deer with my car last week. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Same thing different taste

Bad timing
Today, as I was talking to my girlfriend about how I need to find another job to be able to afford school next fall, I hit a deer causing about $3,000 in damages to my car. FML

Today, while driving home I saw a few deer running beside me. I stopped to let them go in front. Instead, one face-plants, ramming into the side of my new car. FML

It's all too much
Today, at 4:30 a.m., I hit a deer on the freeway on my way to work. I've only had this car for 6 months and it's totaled. I had to wait hours for a tow. On his way to pick me up, my husband's radiator blew and his serpentine belt shredded. I also missed a day of work. FML

This FML is from back in 2017 but it's good stuff
Bastard Bambi busts bumper
Today, I volunteered to go get ice cream if I could use my mother's car. She told me to be VERY careful. Not ten minutes later, I hit a deer, which got up and walked off as though nothing had happened. FML

Slammed
Today, I crashed my car. I saw a deer getting ready to run into the middle of the road, and I was very sleepy, so I panicked and slammed on the brakes, causing me to lose control of the car on the wet road. After I hit a tree, I realized that the deer was a plastic lawn ornament. FML

At least…
Today, I was driving home from another long night shift at work. I live from paycheck to paycheck thanks to the current economy and can barely afford rent. To keep myself positive, I thought, "At least my car is paid off." A deer ran out in front of me and totaled my car. 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

You people are seriously ignorant if you think the OP was "off the road, texting, bad driver, etc." I've got news for you. Bambi doesn't just stand there and wait for you to hit her. It happens when Bambi panics, doesn't know where to go, and just picks a direction and runs. The deer can be on the left shoulder, decide to bolt from you -back across the road-. And the majority of deer are hit on rural roads with woods on each side. Sometimes the just come barreling out of the woods and you hit them, no notice. And for that matter, a lot of the time, you don't hit the deer. The deer hits you! As in, plowed into the side of the car. Had that happen once. Then factor in stuff like what time of the year it is, "the rut", etc. It's not uncommon for me to see 3-5 deer on the way home everynight. That many deer, high chance of impact. So go back to ambushing people with red paint and quit trolling the OP

For real, everyone saying YDI apparently lives in the city and has never been to suburban or country areas (especially in fall and winter, which it is). Deer are so accustomed to cars around here now that they don't have an issue with headlights. They do like to run around during peak periods though (on highways and side streets alike) and will total cars easily. They get up and run away, too, a lot of the time. They're beasts, I say! I think the county I live in has about 100 car/deer accidents each month between September and January, and we are one of the safer states when it comes to our drivers. So yes, FYL indeed. Hope you weren't hurt (or ticketed since some departments will issue citations even if you couldn't avoid it). The only way YDI is if you were in an open area and anyone could have seen them coming from a block away but you were too busy doing something else. I guess this we will never know...

Well I guess one thing everyone should be asking is what time of day did these collisions occur? I live in Alberta where we have lots of wildlife, and they are not afraid of coming into the cities, you can see deer and other wildlife in Calgary, and not just during Stampede time. But I can say for driving Alberta highways, especially in the mountains for 12 years I have never been in an accident with any wildlife. Pay attention ahead of you because during the day you can see them a distance away, drive slower in bad or poor visibility weather, and be alert while driving at night. And everyone that keeps calling this an accident, and accident is termed as NO FAULT, since hitting a deer is driver fault for what ever reason (eg. speeding, not paying attention, etc,) it is a collision.

maybe it's time to move to a place with a smaller deer population. /: fyl.

ever thought of driving more slowly so you have more chance of not running into things?
