Today, I realized I've been driving for almost two years and still get excited when I park between the lines on my first try. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I’m learning to drive and finally felt confident enough to park in a tight spot with my instructor watching. I nailed the angle perfectly, but when I tried to get out, I realized I'd parked so close to the line that I couldn’t open the door. I had to climb out of the passenger side while my instructor pretended not to laugh. FML
Today, it's the tenth anniversary of me getting my driver's license. My record is perfect: no accidents, no tickets. Today is also the tenth anniversary of the last time I drove a car. FML
Today, after finally getting my drivers license, I was able to drive myself to school for the first time! I got fined $50 for accidentally parking in the wrong lot. FML
Today, I finally found a parking space directly outside my apartment after driving around for 20 minutes. I celebrated, parked, and walked upstairs. Ten minutes later, I realized I'd left my car running with the keys still inside. FML
Today, I spent an evening teaching my younger brother how to parallel park before his driving test. After an hour, he finally parked perfectly between two cars. I was so proud that I told him we'd nailed it. Then we noticed we were parked in front of someone's driveway. FML
Today, I was taking my driving test and everything was going perfectly. As I pulled back into the testing center, I smiled because I knew I'd passed. Then I got out of the car without pulling the handbrake. The examiner had to jump back in and hit the brakes before it rolled into an actual parked car. FML
Today, I found out that I have enough driving skills to manage to hit a pothole and have two of my tires go flat. FML
Today, I went to the mall and had to parallel park. It took me 10 to 12 minutes of maneuvering before I got into the slot. When I turned off the car and got out, there were 8 people laughing hysterically and clapping for me. FML
Today, I was stuck in stand-still traffic for 5 minutes, before realizing I had stopped behind a parked car. FML
Today, I went driving for the first time with my mom. When she wasn't screaming, she gave great advice like, "Stop at the red light" and "Don't crash into cars". I need to drive 50 hours with her. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Ugh! Congratulations, you have created a FML that draws in the sexists like moths to a light.

Wow, what's with the hate to the OP? Firstly, she said "on the first try", which implies that when she DOESN'T get it right she actually corrects her line... putting her head and shoulders above most drivers, if one can judge by the state of parking lots. Secondly, there's nothing wrong with taking innocent pleasure in a task well done. I still feel accomplished when I produce a perfectly-fried egg. It's not that this is a *hard* thing to accomplish, just knacky - and I get it right nearly every time - but still, the satisfaction of cooking something just right is a pleasing thing. Same thing when I sew a perfect neat French seam, or do any other small task in which the difference between sloppiness and perfection is psychologically vast. :) Also, I'm currently learning to drive and parallel parking is driving me to insanity. So when I first get it right on the first try, I'll probably throw a ticker-tape parade in my own honour!
