Today, I took my car through the car wash. I got bored, so turned the radio on, forgetting that the aerial/antenna on the car is automatic. My car aerial is now bent at a 90 degree angle and about to fall off. The radio is half white noise, half stuff that may or may not be free jazz jam sessions. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I took my truck through an automatic car wash. During the wash, the bristles on one of the automatic scrubbers ripped my metal antenna off of my car. The antenna was stuck spinning around in the scrubber, smacking and scratching the entire side of my car, top to bottom. FML
Today, I drove through a drive-through car wash. The steering wheel turned left on it own. I was pretty sure the railing guided the car but my stupid ass turned the wheel to the other side and popped the car off the rails. It crashed into one of the machines and now I have a huge dent to the front of the car. FML
Today, I got rear-ended trying to move off the road because I heard a police siren. It was the radio. FML
Today, while driving my car, there was a talk on the radio about road safety. I got so engrossed that I drifted and crashed my car into a sign promoting the talk. FML
Today, while I was at work, a co-worker watched while some kid stole the radio out of my car. FML
Today, the Snapchat that I was taking of my car being washed, including my commentary like, "Oooh yeah, get into it baby," was replayed loudly through my car via Bluetooth while the workers were inside and all around washing it. FML
Today, I bought a truck. It's a little beat up, but I got a pretty good deal because of it… Or so I thought. Turns out there's a Nickelback CD stuck in the player. And the radio is spotty. I can't help but think that had something to do with it. FML
Today, I was driving down a highway during rush-hour. I heard my phone ring and couldn't find it. I bent down to feel around for it and got in an accident and totaled my car. The ringing? A commercial on the radio. Where was my phone? On my dresser at home. FML
Today, I went to get my car washed at one of those places where you can watch through the glass. I watched in horror, face pressed against the glass, as my car went through with the window down. FML
Today, the horn in my car decided to malfunction. It honked continuously for an hour as I drove down the highway. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Get it fixed or get an iPod. I should charge for such insightful advice. Today, I gave away valuable. brilliant advice for free. I'm broke. FML.

How ******* crippling is your ADD if you can't sit through a *four minute carwash* without getting bored? Most people in that situation just relax, look at the pretty multicolored bubbles, then they're on their merry way. You, on the other hand, apparently start gibbering and twitching, starved for stimulation within a minute. If you ever have to sit in a waiting room for more than five minutes, you'll probably have a nervous breakdown.

What the hell sort of car washes do you have in Australia? I have a fixed antenna, and *never* have had a problem....

YDI for not listening to an XM radio instead which doesn't need a long antenna! Also, who uses the word "aerial" to refer to an antenna? ROFL

First of all, you have horrible taste in music. Second of all, you need a high attention span. Third of all, YDI for not paying attention to your surroundings.

People are so ******* judgmental. How many people with the retracting antennae actually notice its function? You're full of shit if you say you remember it or that it is common knowledge. Secondly, how is wanting to hear music a sign of poor attention span? Seeing water splash and bubbles form isn't exciting to everyone, god forbid someone want to entertain themselves. **** you.
