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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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, I tried to back my car into my parking space while some of my neighbors were out by their cars. I accidentally rammed into the retaining wall behind my spot. I was hoping the neighbors didn't notice the huge crunching sound, but they did. FML
Today, after double-checking to make sure the garage door was completely open, I backed my car into it. 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
Today, I backed my car into a parked car in a parking lot. Not only did I back into a parked car, but it was the ONLY parked car there. FML
Today, I narrowly avoided a head-on collision in the parking garage. The other driver cussed me out. It's a one-way route through the parking garage, and I was going the right way. 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, I was forced to look on in utter horror as an old lady backed out of her parking space, kept going well past the turning point, and slammed straight into my car, putting a dent in the front and shattering the headlights. FML
Today, I tried to back out of a spot in a parking garage. I did a 12 point turn, hit the car behind me and still didn't manage to get out of the spot. Everyone was staring at me, and the attendant had to come over and move my car for me. I have to park there every day. FML
Today, a couple of friends and I were driving around town and saw a lady who had accidentally backed her car up onto a concrete wall. Laughing, we all turned to look as we passed and I drove straight into a parked police car that had stopped to help her. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Perhaps you could try using you're head lights to judge distance instead of using other retards cars?

You need to be very in control to indulge in touch parking. Or stupid.

YDI bigtime. having a license to drive a car is about making your own judgement in situations whether big or small. u screwed up mate...

I do this too sometimes when it's hard to tell how close I am by looking straight ahead, since I usually end up sticking too far out if I don't. But I usually look in the reflection of the paint on the car to my left so I can see my own. It works remarkably well! And it seems like people try to blame the OPs on this site in any way they can. Why can't you give them a break? This is an honest mistake, especially if he's used this method to park multiple times successfully. No one is 100% attentive all the time.

'whumping' is an excellent onomatopoeia

you posted on the wrong site, OP. You were looking for MLIA.

Heh, I pity you, OP: I often use other cars to gauge myself, too. But you should really look for yourself too.

YDI for saying"whumping" When I sounded out that word it made me want to hurt someone.
