Today, I was pulling in to my work parking lot gate, accidentally hit the accelerator instead of the brake pedal, ran through the gate arm. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was supposed to deliver my S/O's keys to the garage, where he got his car fixed after a minor accident. I pulled out of my alley, only to have my flip flop catch on my accelerator, causing me to hit another car passing by. FML
Today, as I was pulling into my driveway, I hit my fence. The same fence that I had repaired last week because I had run into it. FML
Today, after double-checking to make sure the garage door was completely open, I backed my car into it. FML
Today, I was running late for work. As I hurried out the door, I managed to trip over my own feet, fall off the front porch, and key my new car. FML
Today, I sneaked out of work early. I tripped over my own feet while walking up to my car. As I fell, I managed to hit the panic button on my car keys, setting off my car alarm while I lay flat on the ground in the parking lot. FML
Today, I got to my underground parking garage at work and saw my boss pulling into a spot. I thought I would show him my reverse parking skills and decided to park beside him. As I was pulling in he opened his door to get out and I smashed into it, nearly running him over. FML
Today, while I was backing out of the my work's parking lot, I hit my boss's truck. While he was in it. FML
Today, I was pulling into a parking garage space and using the next car over to judge where the wall was in front of me, but ended up whumping my front bumper as I pulled forward. Wondering what had happened, I got out to see that the car I was aligning myself against had hit the wall too. FML
Today, I hit a parked car. I was walking. To make the scene more embarrassing, the car alarm shocked me and I backed up quickly into the parking meter, knocking me down once more. FML
Today, while driving, I got a call on my cell phone. Trying to be safe and avoid an accident, I pulled into the nearest parking lot before answering. While I was turning in to park, someone rear-ended me. FML

For those curious, here's how it happened, at the gate there is a parking card reader you need to swipe for the gate arm to let you in, that day i pulled in a bit far, so i was trying to reach it through the window, and left the brake pedal in the process, so the car started moving, next i tried to stop the car BUT instead of hitting the break pedal, i hit the accelerator.

Normally when you’re very close to the gate you should already have your foot on the brake no?

There is this card thing at the gate you need to swipe in order for the gate arm to let you in, that day i pulled in a bit far, so i was trying to reach in through the window, and left the brake pedal in the process, so the car started moving, next i tried to stop the car BUT instead of hitting the break pedal, i hit the accelerator.

Tapped into someone at a red light the same way. Foot slipped and hit the wrong thing. Fortunately, I was able to switch quick enough to only tap.

I’ve done the opposite, hit the brake instead of the accelerator. Definitely less problematic than the other way

Are you suggesting he rammed his car into a gate on purpose? Why would he do that?

why are you even comparing those to this?

I've done that before. Demolished the entire back end of the carport at my grandma's house. By far the most embarrassing post-pubescent moment of my life that didn't involve alcohol.
