Today, I was driving to work and stopped at a stop light. A full 2 or 3 seconds passed, followed by a car rear-ending me. The idiot driving it got out and gave me hell, calling me a maniac because I braked "too quickly" and didn't give him a chance to react. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, while at a stop light, I was rear-ended by a car behind me. The guy got angry at me, because according to him, I should've known that his car has poor braking distance, and so I should've moved forward a few more feet to compensate. FML
Today, I was driving home from work and noticed the car behind me was tailgating me pretty badly. I was starting to get angry with the driver, and kept glancing in my rear view mirror at him. While I was doing so, the traffic ahead of me stopped, and I rear-ended the car in front of me. FML
Today, I was driving down a one-way street, when some raging dumbass came screaming the wrong way down the road at me. My instant reaction was to brake and give the guy a chance to do the same. His instant reaction was to keep going and wreck my car. FML
Today, the person I was driving behind put their car in reverse and backed straight into me. I was then yelled at and told, "I had my reversing lights on! Why didn't you move?!" FML
Today, I stopped at a red light, when I noticed the car in front of me was in reverse. I honked at the driver, hoping he'd realize and place the car in drive. He thought the light turned green and immediately backed into me. FML
Today, while driving to work, some asshole stopped sharply on the 60 mph highway because he almost hit the car in front of him. Even with maintaining my distance, and slamming on the brakes, I still ruined the front end of my car on his dented bumper. I haven't even had the car for a year, and I'm still the one at fault. FML
Today, I was driving around a parking lot, looking for an empty spot. Someone was backing out a bit too quickly as I was about to pass by, so I honked to announce myself. The driver instead panicked and reversed into my front bumper. FML
Today, while driving home, some idiot kept tailgating me, so I slowed down, hoping he'd overtake me. He didn't, so I pulled to the side of the road. He did the same, in front of me. He kept toying with me until I crashed into another car trying to speed away from him. FML
Today, I decided to be a good driver and not run through the yellow light. As soon as I stopped my car another came and rear-ended me. The guy told me to go in the parking lot so we can exchange information. So I drove into the parking lot, I turned my head and watched him drive away. FML
Today, I got rear ended. The guy flashed his lights at me to pull over, so I pulled into the side of the road. He drove away. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Was he drunk?

He should've been responsive ... 3 second gaps are more than enough

No matter the situation, the one who rear ends you is the one who is at fault. they need to keep a safe following distance for that reason. if you were coming up to a stop light, then this guy was tailgating or he was texting, or something that kept his attention off the road and off of the car in front of him.

Even without those "2 or 3 seconds" it would still be his fault for not leaving enough safe distance from you.

I was rearended at a yield waiting for traffic to let me in after a gapers block after a 7 car pileup. A red stop light that was red for 2-3 seconds, and following the yellow slow, means this asshat wasn't paying any attention to the road. Obviously distracted driver, driving too fast for conditions, not leaving a safe following distance between cars. FYL.

I hate people who come to full stops at yields. YDI if you stopped while coming onto a major road/highway.

Had a similar thing happen to me twice, but it was more like a 10 second wait each time. People who text and drive suck!

I was going to say he rear ended you, it's his fault no matter what, but I don't know if it works that way in Poland.

Tell me your insurance and the police sided with you.

A closely related thing happened to me and my boyfriend about a month ago. Except in our case the guy hit us then took off.

Punch him in the face and say his head came too fast at your fist.
