Today, I took my 15 year-old daughter driving. I yelled at her for not going safely around corners. On the way home, while demonstrating how to drive right, I went around a corner and hit a cement truck. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my teenage daughter got her driver’s license. Less than an hour later she wrecked my wife’s new minivan. FML
Today, my mom drove my car and had to make a U-turn on a narrow street. Instead of slowing down, she sped up to turn, running off the road and denting my car. To make things worse, she blamed me for not giving her good directions, then followed that up with, "It's not that bad." 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 took my daughter out driving to practice for her road test. I told her to make a left into a parking lot. She missed the 30-foot wide entrance, but not the two-foot wide tree. FML
Today, I let my son take my car out for a spin, since he just got his licence. He didn't make it out of our street before totaling it. FML
Today, I was T-boned at an intersection. My wife got pissed when I didn't immediately check on her, but rather the other driver. That other driver was my daughter. FML
Today, I was driving when a guy in a truck swerved in front of me. I didn't realize I'd sworn until I'd come to a red light and my one year old daughter yelled her own version of what I said. She now yells "Chicken in the hole!" whenever the car comes to a stop. FML
Today, after failing my learner's licence twice in the previous weeks, I finally passed. As I got home, I went for a drive with my dad. I smashed my mum's car into an old lady's fence and ended up in her backyard. FML
Today, I got to drive my mom's car. I'd recently watched the new Fast and Furious movie, I thought it'd be fun to drift around a few corners. I ended up smashing straight into someone's front yard. FML
Today, my neighbor yelled at me for driving recklessly. I was going 35 mph, and she was stopped in the middle of a road around a blind curve. My "reckless driving" was slamming on the brakes so I wouldn't hit her. FML

You really shouldn't criticize someone, especially your daughter, when the same thing could potentially happen to you. YDI

It's funny, because I'm 15 and my parents finally let me drive a car for the first time in my life yesterday, and then yelled at me for not doing it right.

YES! Haha. My dad yelled at me constantly for not being very safe(my first few days) driving. He's ran a couple red lights(that I know of), gotten into 3 accidents, and done some stuff that's not safe, not right, or illegal that I can't remember. All after my first driving lesson. YDI =) Or maybe that's just my issues with my father making me biased.

YDI for bad grammar. Only a yank would write "drive right". ****.

Who said there was concrete in it? it could have just been cement.

This. Unfortunately you have to be the one teaching her, OP. It's not looking good for her future. YDI moron.

My dad is the same, even now, when I'm really close to taking the test he still yells at me for every little thing. You deserved it, and please, try to stay calm while she's driving.

This is why parents should not teach learner drivers......you were the same once, idiot.

amen to that, my dad was such a jerk when we tried having him teach me to drive. when a person's been driving so long, they forget that it actually is difficult and scary when you're new to it. he never wanted to take me out to practice and then got mad that i wasn't improving. finally i said **** it and paid for an instructor.

But um, an instructor was a learner once too...?

But they don't personally know you so it's easier to separate yourself from them to learn

Doesn't mean he had to be a jerk. Manners don't cost a thing.

dude. sometimes you got to tell them how to do it. maybe he told her to do it but she did it so wrong that it could have gotten them killed... my dad did the same thing to me once but i learned after....

#27 you realize that yelling and screaming at a driver - especially a new one - is extremely hazardous as well?
timtam24 0
sorry #27 but that would make it worse, yes she did it wrong but learners make mistakes you can't expect them to be experts straight away. My dad yelled at me to much when i was learning so i stopped and only had them with my mum.

#27: When my dad yelled at me while I was driving for making a quick turn... I effed up worse. In the time he spent yelling, I ran 2 stop signs, and almost got hit by a truck.. Then one time he yelled at me for running a stop sign that wasn't there... And I almost hit someone.

Hahah the same thing happened to my dad when he was teaching me to drive, only he just hit a curb. Hope no one was hurt!

I hope that teaches you not to be an ass to your daughter for her next lesson. In fact, do her a favor and pay for someone else to teach her. YDI.

You dont need an instructor, it's just better. I learned how to drive from my dad when I was 13, and I can drive fine from those lessons and rules he taught me.

Oh you totally friggin deserved it. Being a 15 year old driver myself, I know what its like to hear yelling and screaming while you're trying to stay calm. It doesn't work out very well. So I think this was God's way of saying, "Lay off the PMS pedal, dad!"
