Today, I was stuck in heavy traffic. Bored, I looked to my left and noticed someone who seemed to be asleep at the wheel. After staring for a bit, wondering how people can be so negligent, I ended up hitting the car in front of me. FML

Hey guys, this is the OP here, and this is actually my first FML ever :3 This actually happened to me back in September, I was on the highway on my way to school. What happened was the traffic was so bumper-to-bumper, due to a bigger accident ahead. I had my foot on the brake, so the car was stopped at the time (I wasn't driving while looking.) That's when I decided to look around and saw a lady with her eyes shut in the car next to me. I guess my foot slipped off the brake ever so slightly, because next thing I heard was a thump (the cars were so close together it happened in an instant.) Luckily we were able to pull over, and the lady didn't seem too angry at me. Neither of our bumpers were damaged too much, so I just called my dad and had her speak with him. In the end, I just paid them $600 instead of going to insurance, and my car (luckily) didn't suffer too much damage. Yes, I know it was my fault, and I've learned from my mistake, so now, even in heavy traffic, eyes on the road only!

Because you clearly learned from your mistake, and it doesn't seem it was very serious. . FYL. Glad you took responsibility! :D

And in another car someone was watching you watch someone and thinking how negligent it was. Negli-ception!

Hey OP, do me a favor, and stay the hell out of New Jersey. Had enough of you New Yorkers to last a lifetime. Your fellow New Yorkers decided to come down here and kill 2 people with their truck yesterday because they were more interested in what was on their phone than driving. You're ALL idiot drivers. And stay out of the left lane!!!

Uh, I'm a Long Islander thanks, and don't worry, I wouldn't want to be anywhere in the same area as you

That's basically how I would react but, with someone attractive instead of a sleeping granny.

How bad was the damage to the other car for her to ask for $600?! If you were moving that slow in bumper to bumper traffic, I'd think it wouldn't be more than a ding!

To be honest, I'm not sure either

I think you probably got ripped off by not going through insurance...

It's cheaper in the long run to avoid a raise in insurance premiums by paying out-of-pocket
