Today, I was moving to the city with all my belongings when the trailer came unhitched, breaking the chains on my dad's homemade trailer. I then watched as the trailer narrowly missed a guardrail, went down a hill and into a river. My dad still won't admit he didn't latch the hitch. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my dad was helping my fiancé and me move. On the way, someone sideswiped the trailer. When the police came, we found my dad had a suspended license, no insurance, and a broken tail light. No one else could drive a manual, so we were stuck in a parking lot for 3 hours. Thanks, dad. FML
Today, my dad moved my car onto the street so he wouldn't accidentally back into it while moving our boat. My neighbor backed into it instead. FML
Today, I finished a repair on my trailer. About twenty miles down the road, one of the joints gave out and the whole thing broke on the freeway, scattering lumber and splinters everywhere. The traffic cop called me the worst carpenter in the whole state. FML
Today, I helped my dad push our broken-down truck from the driveway onto the tire ramp. Truck didn't make it; neither did my leg. FML
Today, I watched my car roll backwards on the freeway, while attached to the tow truck that I was sitting in. FML
Today, our boat broke down in the middle of a lake at sunset. We called our friend for help, and his truck and trailer got stuck in mud at the boat ramp. We called the sheriff's office to tow his vehicle out of the mud. The tow strap broke. FML
Today, I was headed on vacation with my family. On the way, our trailer tire blew out. Because the trailer was tilted from the flat tire, the door would not open to get the spare. After breaking the window to get the spare and putting it on, the spare blew out. FML
Today, I accidentally crashed my mom's car into my dad's car. FML
Today, I had the lovely experience of witnessing a tow truck cause a couple thousand dollars' worth of damage to my broken-down car. FML
Today, for some reason, my amazing dad told me to slide down towards a pole on a car tire while tobogganing down a hill and I hit the tire, consequently getting hurt in the head. I love my dad but something must've gone wrong that day. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

OP, you're driving. It's your responsibility to check it. You're not living with mommy and daddy anymore. Time to take responsibility for yourself.

Hmm... maybe she still was until she got out of the driveway

Did you ever consider perhaps the op does not know how to properly latch up a trailor to a vehicle?
KMilliron 2
Then google how or ask somebody that knows. That isn't your father.

It doesn't say OP was driving anywhere in it. That said, if all of OP's belongings were in it, OP still should have double checked, especially when the phrase "homemade trailer" got added into it.

81 you fail. you must be 12, because only twelve year olds have this undying obsession with their mother. why? because they're 12 and their mommy is their world. but you would already know that.

#87 is kind of a bitch. All he said was "your mom" and off she goes. Somebody needs to stop commenting when their aunt flow is in town.

dear 92, it's called sarcasm. before judging what I say please go read my other comments so you don't look as stupid. love, MissBunny25

No, sarcasm would be more like "nice comeback #81". Every comment you make is so ******* stupid. How do you diagnose a mommy obsession from two words? Besides, he said "YOUR mom" not his mom, so unless he's your bro, he wasn't talking about his own mom. Way to perpetuate the "dumb blonde" stereotype. Just finish your coloring book sweetheart.

Sorry, but there was no sarcasm in that sentence, moron. Getting angry and insulting someone online is nowhere close to sarcasm, no matter how much you wish you could brush it off as that.

Some people don't like to admit that they did something wrong. It sucks Fyl op.
