Today, I was driving my new car home when I came around a sharp turn to see a groundhog in the road. I kindly stopped and allowed it to cross when all of the sudden a car slammed into the back of mine. Then, another car went flying around us. That car hit and killed the groundhog. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, while driving my new car, a squirrel ran in front of me so I slammed on my brakes. The person behind me didn't notice and rear-ended me. The squirrel got hit by a car going the opposite direction. FML
Today, while driving home I saw a few deer running beside me. I stopped to let them go in front. Instead, one face-plants, ramming into the side of my new car. FML
Today, as I was driving home from work, a bird decided to commit suicide by flying in front of my car. The shock caused me to slam on the brakes, totaling three other cars in the process. FML
Today, on the way to work, I saw a mama bear and two cubs beside the road. The guy in front of me hit and killed one of the cubs and sped off. Mama bear ran out into the road, blocked my path, and must have thought I killed her cub, because she attacked my car and tore the bumper and side panel off. FML
Today, I was backing out of my garage when my neighbour's collie ran behind my car. Unfortunately, I didn't see it, but I heard a thump. They were out, so I rushed him to the vet's. I was upset, and I guess I was driving too fast and didn't see that another dog was crossing the road. I killed two dogs today. FML
Today, I was driving down the road when a dog suddenly ran across the street. In attempt to spare its life, I swerved to the side of the road and rear-ended another car. The car I hit belonged the family who owned the dog. Now I have to pay them because I saved their dog's life. FML
Today, while driving home, I swerved to avoid turning a duck and her babies into roadkill. Another car was coming around a sharp bend at the time and swerved to avoid hitting me. In the end, we both ran our cars off the road, and he took out several ducks in the process. FML
Today, I bought a new car. Twenty-five minutes into driving it home, I hit a deer. FML
Today, while going for a walk, I saw two bunnies next to the road. Apparently, I was scarier than the oncoming traffic, because one of them decided to sprint into the road as I walked by. I could hear its bones crunch as it got hit by a car. FML
Today, I was waiting at an intersection. Across from me, a car was approaching when a bunny ran out. Trying to save it, I flashed my lights and beeped at the car crazily, and the bunny turned around. The lights turned, and as I drove forward the bunny came back out and I hit it. FML

YDI. Never stop in a travel lane when there are poor sightlines for traffic behind you. Just imagine the FML from the other guy's perspective. "Today, I was driving down the road and went around a sharp curve to suddenly discover that some dickless wonder had stopped his car in the middle of the road. With no time to react, I slammed into his car. Afterwards I asked him why he was stopped. His response? 'I was letting a groundhog cross the road.' FML"

You're not supposed to stop for animals on the road, as horrible as it sounds. A few years ago a guy stopped for a family of ducks, but a truck smashed into them killing his wife and daughter. I'm an animal lover myself, but that's how life is, if they're on they road they're gonna get squished one way or another.

aaand if she didn't stop and somehow made an FML out of it, the animal activists would **** the hell out of the comments.

So the "i killed an animal" trend is still alive on FML, I see. Idgaf about a groundhog, but congrats moron, you could have killed someone else.

Never stop when you're just off a turn. Any fool will come flying around just like you and nail you. I understand your reasoning, but there are some things you just can't help.

Ya it's not animal cruelty to run over an animal when there's traffic and it's a hazard to stop. Of course you should try, but swerving around it when the opposite lane is empty is a better idea than stopping in the middle of the street. I've seen an accident before where someone swerved unexpectedly to avoid hitting something or other (not a person or car). So sometimes it's better to kill the thing than endanger yourself.

Here in Canada, you would be finding gophers. Here in Canada, you do stop for gophers. You swerve. Into them

All the time haha. When you think you hit it, you say "Did I/you get it?" and then turn around/check your mirrors to see if you got the thing. That's how it's done.

yes and when you feel the *whump whump* from the tires you shout SCORE!!!!!!!

Just wait until that day, when all of the gophers of the world finally realize what's going on, the will revolt with their king, a gopher the size of godzilla's baby mondozilla, and they will come and probably eat you, they might squish you but my guess is most likely eat you. so than i think that they will continue until the score has been evened, as long as you dont kill anymore than there are people in Canada than we will be fine because thats fine with the world...

Luckily for you, the law says that a victim of a rear-end crash cannot be blamed, so you can collect damages. Yay Lawsuits!

Actually, here in Canada, and in most states, hard braking in a traffic lane is considered dangerous driving, putting the op at fault. If she caused serious injury it can be considered aggravated assault. People do it all the time in front of semis in an attempt to get insurance payouts.
