Today, I swerved to avoid hitting a dog that ran in front of my car. The dog was fine but I hit a road sign, ripped off my rearview mirror, and cracked my passenger side window. When I got out to examine the damage to my car, the dog growled at me. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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
Today, I ran into a parked car and fell into the gutter. All because a dog suddenly barked at me. From the other side of a wooden fence. FML
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 was on my way to a Thanksgiving dinner, with my dog in her seat in the front of my car. On the entrance ramp to the highway, my rear wheels spun to the left, and then my car spun completely around and hit the guardrail. My car is totaled. I'm broke, but at least my dog wasn't hurt. FML
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
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 swerved to avoid running over a dead cat in the road. Instead, I ran over its head. The crack of its skull was loud enough for me to hear it. FML
Today, I was walking my husky when she saw a cat and bolted toward it. I couldn't let go of the leash because my hand was tangled up. Forced to run along, I ran into a parked van at full sprint. I lost my dog, broke two ribs and have to pay for the dent in the van. FML
Today, I was in a car accident. After screaming at the woman for running into me, I got in my car and drove off. As I was driving away, I was staring her down when I ended up rear-ending the person in front of me. FML
Today, I yelled at my dog for waking me up growling and barking out the window. He was doing it at the person stealing my car. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

You're a good person. At least it's summer. It would suck to have a cracked window in winter.

You can't go to jail for killing a dog by accident, you can go to jail for killing a human by accident... therefore not equal

lol. it is very difficult to actually convict someone if it was an "accident". from personal experience.

you're pretty much an idiot. yes, you are supposed to avoid hitting animals on the road. However, if you must endanger yourself or others, then it's better to run the animal over. YDI

that's shallow. "run the animal over". what if there was no one there? plus, I'd rather have a cracked window and no rearview window than to have dog guts on my car. a dog is a living, breathing creature with feelings just like us. just because dogs can't talk, doesn't mean that they don't matter.

It beats having to scrape dog guts off your car.

People are saying you shouldn't swerve for anything smaller than a deer. I say further than that; you don't swerve for ANYTHING. You should brake instead. Swerving means you're at great risk of losing control of the car (just as the OP did), and you may put yourself and other road users in greater danger. If you're going the speed limit and you emergency brake, and the animal or person still gets hit, then you're not to blame. If you swerve and kill yourself by ploughing into a tree, or kill someone else by hitting a car coming the other way, or mounting the pavement and hitting a pedestrian, then you are completely to blame, because you performed a dangerous and reckless action that led you to lose control of the vehicle. Brake every time!

so we should only care for things we deem to be on our level? Thats so stupid. If i did end up in the horrible situation of hitting an animal or missing the animal and in doing so hitting a child I would have to hit the animal of course though i would do my best to miss both. However if it was an empty road im going to stop. Im sorry that your brother died but I still believe that if you can miss hitting anything then you should. As for the loyalty arguement. If your dog is so hungry that its going to rip your throat out to eat then you deserve to be killed by your own animal. At least if an animal kills something it usually has a legitimate reason like its hunger or protecting itself. Humans kill for no reason. We are also the only species that kill its own kind on purpose.

If you break then the knock you are going to give the deer is less plus the push is going to be moving away from your car knockign the deer in the other direction. If you speed up you are going to knock it in the air and place your bonnet underneath it before it lands causing it to hit your windscreen

#98 Scientifically humans ARE animals. Kudos to OP because they probably saved a life, even if it was a dog's. My grandma's dog got hit and killed by a guy going way over the speed limit and he didn't even have the decency to stop and see if it was OK. Very well done OP :D
