Today, I was finally able to drive my brother's nice car instead of my clunker, because he left for college. First thing I do? Back into the neighbors' mailbox while exiting the driveway. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was trying to do a nice thing and let my friend's mom borrow my car. I went to move my mom's car that was parked behind me so that I could get my car out, and then proceeded to back into my dad's new company car. FML
Today, I let my imbecile of a brother borrow my car. The keys to his car are now jammed into the ignition of mine. FML
Today, my friend got her first car. I bought mine three weeks ago and haven't started making payments. She came straight from the dealership to pick me up. She backed into my car. FML
Today, I got to drive my mom's car. I'd recently watched the new Fast and Furious movie, I thought it'd be fun to drift around a few corners. I ended up smashing straight into someone's front yard. FML
Today, due to bad weather, my dad let me take his car to drive to my apartment 3 hours away. I only realized when I got there that my keys were still sitting on my parents' kitchen counter. FML
Today, my mom let my younger brother borrow my car. He managed to crash it through the garage door. While I was in another country. Somehow, I manage to get berated by my mom because I'm not doing enough to make my brother feel better about him having an accident involving my car and my house. FML
Today, while at work at a new job, my brother comes and takes my car. Along with all my money, my phone, and whatever else I had in my purse. His message to me through one of my co-workers was "walk home." FML
Today, I returned home from a 2-day trip. Before I left, I told my brother to move my car across the street when the street cleaner passes by. Turns out, he used all my gas and got so wasted he forgot to move my car. I got a big ticket that he said he'd pay for. He's unemployed and lives off me. FML
Today, after ten months of carpooling or borrowing my mom's car to get to work, and saving money, I finally have a brand new car. However, I have nowhere to go, besides work, and everyone I know is busy or lives out of state. FML
Today, I just bought a car with all of my own money. Then, when I brought it home my dad informed me that my mom will be driving it to work every day. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Maybe you're not ready to drive nice cars?

Jesus Chrysler, how could you not have Dodged the mailbox? Your brother is probably going to get all Benz out of shape and have a Mini heart attack unless you can afFord the hundreds of Buicks for the repairs. If not, he may take you to court and Subaru, and then you'll really be Saabing. Regardless, you're definitely going to be driving your Olds beat-up car now rather than his gAudi one. Oh Jeepers, it's getting late. I have to go. Tata!

More like not drive at all. Who's dumb enough to back out into a mailbox?

Or just not drive at all. Who's dumb enough to back into a mailbox.

ik, mailboxes are well out of the way if they're on your side of the street, and if theyre on the opposite side then you had more than enough room to back out!

My sister wants to drive my car when I'm away, to prevent that I take my car keys with me.

#34 kinda same here but she knows i have a gps tracking system in my car and if she opens my car without my iPhone app, then my. iPhone tells me and i can kill the car from my iPhone. Therefore she wont be able to start lol :)
abceasyas123abc 12
What car are you driving and what iPhone app are you using? This sounds amazing.

My brother drove my wrx when I went overseas and I came back to a speeding fine in the mail. He still denies it.

Psh. Women drivers.

Why couldn't Helen Keller drive? ...because she was a woman!

2- your a woman.

I think that was the joke.

Actually, statistics show women are worse drivers. Reason being: men are given Legos and video games, and toys that help build their depth perception. Women are given easy bake ovens and dolls; this far from helps build our depth perception. Now I'm not saying this is EVERY woman and man, because there are exceptions to every rule. But generally speaking, that's a fact for most.

Actually it showed women are better drivers than men wait never mind women are more likely to get roadrage :)

SamanthaCassieL - Actually statistics show the exact opposite. Study after study confirms that men drive more aggressively, break traffic laws more often, get into more serious accidents, and are more likely to die in a car accident than women. That's why car insurance premiums are universally less for women than for men. I hope this clears things up.

I checked the comment section for the sole purpose of seeing the gender of op. I was not disappointed.

#21 no offense but it is true and i am shocked to see that a gurl is saying that herself :p lol nice

Doc, when I hear women drivers are bad, I don't think of 100+ drag races or road rage. I think of denting, scratching, busting cars. Hit the pole at the drive thru, bump the guy in front cause the mirrors down. The normal everyday boo boo's I believe are more women's faults.

33- You seem to not understand the danger of woman drivers. (sarcasm)

While it is true that male drivers tend to be more aggressive, including myself, almost every time someone does something mind-blowingly ignorant on the highway it tends to be a woman. Largest-offense here: cutting you off with no turn signal and texting while they drive. At least that's my experience.

men get in more accidents than women, but since men drive more on average, men get in less accidents per mile driven.
mango260 9
I think both sex drives crazy, the males drive too fast and zig-zag through traffic like GTA, the women text and complain about getting cut off but cuts others off without realizing it, because they are yapping away on their cell phone.

YDI....sadly....

It's not sad. OP is an idiot for not paying attention.

Maybe you need a heavy duty sturdy clunker?

Maybe a Tonka truck would do.....
TheJawsman 18
I'm just trying to picture in my head how you could have done that...and...I just can't :)

9- You forgot being a woman.
Harry_Styles_fml 3
Maybe because you don't know the layout of hers and her neighbours gardens?
AvengedSevenfold_fml_fml 12
Let me paint the picture for you, seeing as how you have no imagination. She put the car in reverse, went backwards, and hit the neighbors' mailbox. Better?
Megan98 18
Its possible, just ask the whole side of my truck. :/
jweezy89 4
Well, that's one way to break it in, I guess.
zandalee 20
Best you just drive your clunker for a wee bit longer.
jibz 6
I guess we know why your old car is a clunker.
TheDrifter 24
And people wonder why I don't let anyone drive my car. Hell, I won't even use valet parking.

Is the mail box okay?
