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

Hot coffee burns regardless of its velocity.

YDI for being to lazy to go in and get your coffee. drive throughs are a joke and everything about starbucks is terrible. being on an electronic device in the car is illegal yet eating and drinking things, especally a hot drink is not?

It is times like this where I really miss living in Oxford, where people would sit down in a cafe and have coffee with you (or, better yet, a pub and have a beer with you). America is so uncivilized the way we drink fine beverages while driving. It ruins the car, distracts the driver, and misses some fine social opportunities.

Yeah, cause we ALL go to the starbucks drive thru EVERY TIME we want coffee here in America. Not :P It's convenient if you're on the way to work or class, but other than that I much prefer to walk into the lobby and relax there for a while with a book or a sketchpad.

I call fake. It's hard to believe that you got rear ended hard enough to make you hit the other car going fast enough to deploy the airbag.

I say YDI if this is real, anyone who drives thru Starbucks for coffee deserves this. I love how the line to the drive thru usually sticks out into the street in my city, blocking an entire lane of traffic half a block from a busy intersection.

What if he was on his way to work or in some sort of hurry? People who are saying he deserved this for using the drive thru and not going in seriously need to grow up. As do those blaming him for the brand of coffee. C'mon guys, really?

yes, and impressing YOU is what the rest of us exist to do.

I'm just saying people need to get the whole background story or at least think of different possibilites behind the situation before making ill-minded judgements. Though you are completely entitled to your opinion.

if you're in a hurry you don't stop and get coffee especially not at starbucks because the line is always super long just like 78 says
