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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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?

Hot coffee burns regardless of its velocity.

High speed? The speed limit in a drive thru is like 5 mph And wouldn't the front airbad not deploy if you got rear ended at about 5 mph?

lol I was thinking that too. especially since all of the starbucks where I live have tight driveways that wrap around the building which would make it extremely hard to speed....

He said he got pushed into the person in front of him, causing a frontal collision. THAT would cause the front airbag to deploy. The initial collision wasn't the cause of the airbag.

Airbags are designed to deploy when you are going over a certain speed (although it is most likely an inertia switch).

not necessarily..you can have front impact at a low speed that does not deploy airbags..If they were in a drive thru they would have been going slow and they probably wouldnt have been able to generate enough impact to deploy the airbags

Yes, "high rate of speed". Do you have any clue how quickly airbags move when inflating? Quickly enough to burn your skin quite badly. And it sounds like the airbag HIT the cup causing the coffee to splash at the same speed as the airbag was moving.

How fast was the guy going to push you into the car in front of you bad enough to make the airbags deploy? That really really sucks and I hope that the d-bag who caused all of this has really good insurance! I hope that you have a speedy recovery!

DutchGunner- You are a huge asshole. I 'm sure you're the type who just can't wait to pounce on whatever people say to try to look intelligent, by spewing stupid, irrelevant shit that no one cares about. I'm NOT impressed.

You're just mad 'cause he's right. Who are you to say what "no one" does or does not care about?

ouuch.. now go and sue that driver that read ended u.. u could potentially get millions in a lawsuit if you get the right attorney

So you want to financially devastate the guy, potentially ruining his future retirement and his kids' futures, all because he rear-ended the OP? Car accidents happen...it's his fault, but these things happen and his life doesn't deserve to be ruined over it.

car crashes don't just happen, almost all of them are caused by somebody's fault, pretending that they are "accidents" is why you have so many of them and nobody cares

starbucks has a drive thru?

I'm calling shenanigans on this one - you have to be traveling something like 15 MPH for an airbag to deploy as result of a front impact.

Agreed

EXACTLY - Your car has to be moving in order for the airbags to go off. FAIL.

You should sue the other driver. But don't be like that idiot that sued McDonalds for making their coffee too hot.
