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

Road rage
Today, my dog was riding my car's passenger seat. He clambered over onto my lap, causing me to lose control of the wheel for a few seconds. As I tried to knock him off me, I lost track of my speed, and ended up being pulled over for reckless driving. FML

Today, I was driving with my dog. Looking out the half-open window he stepped on the switch, the window went up, causing his head to get stuck. I looked down and he had scared the shit out of himself, all over my shirt. FML

Today, I left my dog in my car for 5 minutes while I ran into a store. The car was running so he was fine, the thing that wasn't so fine is that when I walked out my car wasn't there. My dog somehow moved my car into the middle of a intersection, almost causing an accident. FML

Bad boy
Today, I was driving home with my girlfriend. As we turned onto our block, she shrieked that our dog was running down the street and into traffic. I jumped out of the moving car and chased him for about a mile, only to give up, go home, and find out it wasn't our dog. FML

Save the doggo
Today, I was driving down the road when a dog suddenly ran across the street. In attempt to spare its life, I swerved to the side of the road and rear-ended another car. The car I hit belonged the family who owned the dog. Now I have to pay them because I saved their dog's life. FML

Today, I swerved off the road and hit a tree in order to avoid hitting a dog that came out of nowhere. Don't worry, I didn't hit him. The person behind me did, though. FML

Murderer!
Today, I was backing out of my garage when my neighbour's collie ran behind my car. Unfortunately, I didn't see it, but I heard a thump. They were out, so I rushed him to the vet's. I was upset, and I guess I was driving too fast and didn't see that another dog was crossing the road. I killed two dogs today. FML

You should have felt the fur and know something is wrong

It's not like he sat around and contemplated it the material of what he was trying to shift with. He was tearing down the highway and quickly attempted to shift, as one does when tearing down a highway....

He didn't have time for all that!

Clearly you haven't driven a manual before. If you did you'd know while shifting there isn't enough time to do all that you mentioned.

If the dog's head is small enough to be mistaken for a gear shift knob... It better be a puppy because it doesn't qualify as a 'Dog.'

Well... Puppies are technically dogs. Just because they're younger doesn't make them not a dog, but I get what you're saying... kind of. Maybe it's a chihuahua?

40lbs is the min qualification for a real dog!

They could have a furry cover for their gear knob? :-/

How is this even possible?

Thats what happens when you get a small "dog." Next time secure your pet instead of letting it run loose, its a driving hazard and has caused accidents.

"Head" and "tearing" should never be in the same sentence.

why wasn't his head out the window?
J3G 7
Exactly wat I was thinking.
dominic1221 6
... because the window was closed, maybe? Herp derp?
evilplatypus 39
If it's small enough for its head to be confused with a stick shift, it's probably too short to reach the window

Okay, Jeff Dunham

Goddamn, OP. Look with your eyes, not with your hands. --; (for a short second that is.)

Generally if someone is comfortable driving a car with a manual transmission, they don't need to look at the gearshift to shift it. The only time I look at the gearshift in my car is if I forget if I'm in 4th or 5th, as they feel similar at highway speed.
