Today, I tried to back out of a spot in a parking garage. I did a 12 point turn, hit the car behind me and still didn't manage to get out of the spot. Everyone was staring at me, and the attendant had to come over and move my car for me. I have to park there every day. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I had to come to terms with the truth that I'm absolutely terrible at parallel parking. After three failed attempts, I finally gave up and parked in a spot labeled "No Parking" just to make it stop. Of course, a car pulled in right behind me and blocked me in. FML
Today, in a rush to squeeze out of a particularly tight parking spot, I made a hurried 12-point turn. Just to make sure I had enough room behind, I hopped out of my car. It was still in reverse. I managed to wreck my own car without even sitting in it. FML
Today, I was driving around a parking lot, looking for an empty spot. Someone was backing out a bit too quickly as I was about to pass by, so I honked to announce myself. The driver instead panicked and reversed into my front bumper. FML
Today, I tried to parallel park in front of a crowd. After several failed attempts, someone shouted from a window above, "Nice 23-point turn, dumbass!" I was practicing on an empty street. FML
Today, I'm so bad at parking that I saw the guy next to me openly cringe as I pulled into a spot. FML
Today, I tried to back my car into my parking space while some of my neighbors were out by their cars. I accidentally rammed into the retaining wall behind my spot. I was hoping the neighbors didn't notice the huge crunching sound, but they did. FML
Today, I thought I'd finally mastered the art of parallel parking. Feeling proud of myself, I got out of the car to admire my handiwork, only to realise I'd parked halfway onto the sidewalk and completely blocked the entrance to a cafe. I had to sheepishly move my car while enduring the glares of annoyed pedestrians. FML
Today, I backed my car into a parked car in a parking lot. Not only did I back into a parked car, but it was the ONLY parked car there. FML
Today, I had to drive through a parking lot that they fucked up so bad that you have to put your car in reverse to go around it. I have to go there 6 times a week. FML
Today, I drove to buy new sneakers to work out and lose weight. Coming out of the store, I saw someone had parked too close to me. I had to beg a stranger to back my car out for me, because no matter how I tried, I couldn't get into the driver's seat. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

On average women tend to have less accidents than men. On average planets do not contain any life form.

Honestly, 90% of those people will forget about it by tomorrow. They probably thought it was kind of funny or they were just embarrassed for you. Everyone makes mistakes with driving... yours is unfortunate, but you'll get over it!

YDI!! Learn how to drive. It's not that hard. You probably text while you drive and don't use your turn signals.

Honestly, 90% of those people will forget about it by tomorrow. They were probably laughing/embarrassed for you when it happened, yeah. But most people don't really give a shit and just probably though "Damn, I'm glad that's not my car." And everyone makes driving mistakes, OP... you'll survive.

Reminds me of that video of a chick taking 30 minutes to park her car. Eventually the guy behind her got fed up and parked her car for her in less than 10 seconds,

If she doesn't know how to park a car, she's too young for you bro.

That's pretty pathetic you can't get out of a parking spot. I was 10 when I learnt to drive and by time I was 14 id back into parking spots with ease. It's not complicated to park a car nor is it to back one up. It's not a skill anymore everyone has a car and if you can't drive like the rest of society stop driving.

If she's a little taller each time you see her; she's to young for you bro.

Why would anyone count how many turns it took? OP just keep practicing. I'm sure I've heard somewhere before that practice makes perfect. Just be sure to take out extra insurance.

A twelve point turn is a type of turn.

Wow someone's actually being nice to OP? After reading number 3 and their replies I thought everyone would be dicks. I went to drivers ed at 16 and just got my first car at 25 (pathetic I know). But in drivers ed for regular turn-in parking we had to park between 2 cones with a loooot of extra space. Now I'm terrible at parking between 2 real cars and am always really crooked or too close to one of the cars. I just need practice. Just like op. Jerks.

I agree

Well that probably means you should've never gotten your licence. I think its more FML for the guy who's car you hit (Today my car was hit by someone trying to leave a parking space. She did a 12 point turn, but the attendant still had to drive her out of the space. She will be parking there every day. FML)

If you drive a Toyota, blame it on the brakes. You'll get to be on tv and be a huge asshole at the same time! :D
