Today, I watched as the teenage neighbor girl tried to parallel-park between me and my wife's cars. She was doing pretty well until she backed into mine, got scared, hit the accelerator and ran into my wife's. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I met my new neighbors when they backed into my parked car. FML
Today, I noticed I parked behind a boy I like. Trying to impress him with my driving skills, I ended up forgetting to put the car in reverse and rear-ended him. FML
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 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 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, my teenage daughter got her driver’s license. Less than an hour later she wrecked my wife’s new minivan. FML
Today, my new neighbors moved in across the street. Also today, they began to park at the end of my driveway. Not used to a car being there, I backed out and promptly hit it. Welcome to the neighborhood. FML
Today, I found a parking spot in front of my work. I parked and another car pulled into the spot just in front of me. The next thing I know, the car in front backs up and slams into my car. Turns out she didn't notice the fire hydrant next to her spot and screamed at me cause I, "stole her spot." FML
Today, while arguing with my boyfriend about how I wasn't a bad driver and could parallel park, I thought it would be easier to just let him do it. Unfortunately, while getting out of the car to switch seats, I forgot to take the car out of drive and it ran into the car in front of us. He was right. FML
Today, at a restaurant, I noticed a really hot girl leaving with her friend. A few minutes later they came back, laughing uncontrollably, and announced that some moron forgot to put on their parking brake and the car was rolling into the full parking lot. It was my car. They watched me chase it. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Got insurance ? Hopefully the damage isn't to bad . Wonder why she didn't learn in a parking lot or empty street...

at least it wasn't your daughter in another one of your cars.

Double kill! Seriously though, that sucks OP! Did she at least stay to exchange information and such?
lil_ham1644 29
Even if she didn't, she lives next door, so funding her wont be difficult

I do not want to fund a neighborhood girl after she damages both my wife's and mine's car.

SMDH. Female drivers. Almost as bad as... Well you know.

As bad as what? Sexist dicks like you?

Parallel parking literally never goes well.... I don't know anyone who can parallel park perfectly...
swash984 22
The people who parallel park frequently tend to do it quite well. I live in an area where it's needed.
qdawg06 23
Makes sense! No one parallel parks unless they absolutely have to where I'm from.

I rarely parallel park as I don't live or really go downtown. When I do parallel park I get the car parked fine. I think that problems arise when a person parallel parks in a spot that is tighter than they feel comfortable with. I purposely only parallel park in areas where I feel I have enough room to get out with out having to back up much, if at all because I'm more comfortable with that. People just need to learn what they are more comfortable with and to park further away if it's a tighter park than they're used to.

i can parallel park pretty damn close to perfect and ive only had the need to once or twice in the past year. she probably though the space was bigger than it was or she was going in at an angle where she couldnt really see his car.

I can only imagine the horror on your face as it happened.

I dont know. This kin if sounds like you are an asshole-Parker. Why would you Baugh or have to park in between your two cars?

@23, come again?

I'm not 100% sure what you actually said because autocorrect has failed you. I'm assuming the explanation you want is, the neighbors daughter had to parallel park in between OP and their wife's car because there was a space there. OP and the wife probably arrived home at different times and parallel parked in the closest spots available to their home. Those happened to have one car length in between them. The neighbors daughter arrived later and tried to park in the open spot.

I didn't try to sound mean, but yes that is what I am trying to say. Unless they live in an apartment complex or something, houses have their own driveways, garages, or side of the road next to their house. I was just thinking that they were parking on the side of the road in this case. I just find it weird because somebody would have to be taking up somebody else's space for parking for that girl to be parking in between her neighbors cars. I hope people understand what I am saying.

the city near where i live doesnt have driveways for individual houses. everyone has to park in the side of the road.

Why were you watching her park in the first place?
limabeans101029 21
...Because she was doing it between his and his wife's car? He was probably watching in case something happened, which it did
mostdope_alissa 6
God forbid someone look outside their house?
rocker_chick23 27
So it is illegal for a person to look outside his house? OP was probably watching to make sure she did things correctly and to make sure she didn't **** up the cars.

31 is the type of person that would call you a pedophile for glancing at a playground.
jackycat 17
OP might have been looking outside because their kid was outside playing or for any freaking reason they wanted to be looking outside their own house.

this is the kind of stuff you see in movies xD

Hopefully your insurance company can cover it.

In many states you don't have to parallel park on your drivers test anymore. Big mistake. It's not the easiest thing to do but definitely still needed

I took my test back in 1998 and I did not have to parallel park. For that portion of the test, I pulled into someone's driveway and backed out. I am guessing that is pretty common in smaller towns in the Midwest.
