Today, I was at a Starbucks drive-thru and was grabbing a hot coffee when I got rear ended and my car hit the vehicle in front of me which deployed my airbag. Hot coffee can really burn when it hits your face at a high rate of speed. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was at the McDonalds drive-thru getting my morning coffee, when some guy slammed into the back of my car. I'm so happy I was holding the cup between my legs at that very moment, because now I have 2nd degree burns on my lady parts. FML
Today, I grabbed a coffee at the McDonald's drive-thru on my way home from work. As I drove away from the restaurant, a kid darted across the parking lot right in front of me. I had to slam hard on my brakes to avoid hitting him, in the process spilling my hot coffee all over my jeans. FML
Today, during a snowstorm, I opened my car door to get out. The wind snapped it wide open, then immediately changed course and swung it back at me just as I stepped out, spilling an entire hot cup of coffee all over me. FML
Today, I was walking out of Starbucks when I sneezed, causing coffee to burn my nose. I screamed, dropped it, and sent scorching coffee all over my legs, while dropping everything else I was holding. FML
Today, I was walking to work, when I slipped and landed on my tail bone. Worse still, my hot coffee went flying into my face. I currently can't see out of my left eye. FML
Today, while pulling out of my work parking lot, I had a piping hot coffee tossed at me through my passenger window. I don't know if I was more amazed by this guy's exquisite aim or the fact that his coffee was so sweet I tasted the diabetes. FML
Today, my mom needed coffee so I drove to Starbucks to get her some. She let me drive the Porsche, which has never happened. Upon coming home I picked the coffee up out of the cupholder so it wouldnt spill. My phone vibrated in my pocket, I spilled the coffee and crashed the car into the garage. FML
Today, on my way out of a coffee shop, I tripped over a curb while holding a full cup of coffee. The coffee flew in slow motion, hitting a stranger right in the face. As I stood there, frozen, I realized the puddle of coffee was now surrounding both of us. All I could do was apologize while trying to avoid a public fistfight. FML
Today, while heading outside to go to work, I slip on my driveway and my coffee thermos-mug ends up flying out of my hand, and smashes my next door neighbor's brand new truck window. The thermos-mug broke and splashed hot coffee all over his seats too. He's a hard-ass military dude. FML
Today, a customer threw his cup of coffee at me screaming that it wasn't hot enough. Well, maybe it wasn't hot enough for him, but it was sure hot enough to burn me. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

YDI for driving a car with airbags.

WTF?! You need airbags in cars to safe lives, you dummy. I definitely know you're one of those individuals that will die in the future in a car accident if you aren't careful.

yeah because before they had airbags, every single person who got in a car died.. good one

Airbags were initially invented because so many people refused to use seat belts.

if you are under 5'6 you are more endanger from serious injury dying due to airbag deployment than you are from dying to a car crash. Thats why cars manufactured today either have to have a lock to turn the airbag off, or have a computerized feature that won't deploy the airbag when your seat is within so many inches of the steering wheel Many people have died because airbags deployed in minor accidents

You guys take all the FML's pretty seriously, most of them are fake, including this one. Airbags don't open that easily. You were in a drive-thru damn it, the "rate of speed" of the 'imaginary' car behind the OP's wouldn't have exceeded 5mph. This one SCREAMS FAKE. Off to another FML, a real one. PS. who said I click YDI? It's possible to comment without voting you know. Magic eh?

I tend to agree; this one is either fake, or the OP is an idiot. Argument for it being fake: an airbag won't go off for a minor fender bump, which is all that should have occurred if the OP had their handbrake on like they should have. Argument for the OP being an idiot: perhaps he didn't have his handbrake on after all.

I think that was Einstein's second theorem: "Coffee, at a high rate of speed..."

Why would you put your emergency brake on in a drive thru...? Just put it in park. That's like saying you should use it at a stoplight.

A part of me wants to say, YDI for drinking Starbucks (especially when they overroast the beans in their coffee). You should know by now the sort of jerks who'd be in your line. But then again, no matter the brand, hot coffee all burns. Sorry, man.
