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

Hot coffee burns regardless of its velocity.

It IS possible that this accident caused the airbag to deploy. Unlikely, but if the him the OP hard enough and pushed a car already in motion forward? Maybe. Sucks major balls if this happened. I hope the rear-ender had insurance. If he/she didn't then that would be even more of a FML.

I would assume hot coffee burns no matter what the speed?

So wait a second you had already gotten your coffee but yet you were still there and so was the person in front of you who you hit? what were you guys doing, then, just sitting around? And your airbag deployed going THAT SLOW? You could really be on Really?!?! With Seth and Amy right about now.

Who on earth would mark YDI? So far I've read YDI for having airbags and for drinking Starbucks coffee. So you're saying that the OP DESERVES to get in a car accident for choosing a particular brand of coffee? Really? And yes, I'm fully aware of the trolls *eyeroll*

I marked YDI because the OP must have been VERY CLOSE to the car in front of him. While he didn't deserve to be rear-ended, it was his fault he was stopped too close to the car in front of him to cause him to be pushed forward enough to hit it when he got hit.

I guess you've never gone through the drive-through at any fast food restaurant

Have you ever been in a drive-thru?!?! YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO BE CLOSE TO THE CAR IN FRONT OF YOU. And for everyone saying if you had your coffee why was there someone in front of you. Sometimes people pull up just enough to let the person behind them get to the counter but don't pull off so they can prepare their coffee, or maybe the parking lot was congested and he couldn't drive off yet.. It happens.

it would hurt the same if it was going slow. Coffeee doesnt hurt more or less with or without speed.

i sense a fake...unless the guy rear ended you that hard, and that force was hard enough to hit the car infront and make the srs system think it was a front end collision, your airbags should not have deployed. for airbags to deploy there has to be a strong and fast decelleration. but then again, some cars have more sensitive air bag systems than others :)

I agree.. The speed is irrelevant to how much pain the coffee inflicted but OP had to emphasize it so now people must comment on it.
