Today, it's been two weeks since I honked, screamed, and cussed at a cyclist on the road. Since then, my car has been keyed, my tires have been slashed, bricks have been thrown at my windows, and my number has been put on Craigslist as a gay prostitute. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I accidentally hit someone's car while in the supermarket car park. I left a note, went shopping, and when I came back my windows were shattered, my tires were slashed, and "FUCK YOU" was written on my windshield. FML
Today, I broke up with my boyfriend because he has anger issues. Tonight, my tires were slashed. FML
Today, a woman who I have spoken to approximately twice in my life, asked me out. I turned her down in the most harmless way I could. Three hours later, I found my car keyed and my windshield wipers gone. FML
Today, I walked out of my boyfriend's house to see my car window smashed in and my steering wheel cover stolen. I was only staying at his place because there had been a rash of vehicle break-ins in my neighborhood. FML
Today, my motorcycle was stolen. If that wasn't bad enough, the thief drove past me. Twice. FML
Today, while driving into work, a guy cut me off and I yelled some nasty things out of my window at him. He heard me, followed me to work, took a baseball bat out and then chased me into the office. He also smashed my windshield on his way out. FML
Today, I came out to my parents as gay and they reacted better than I expected. Then I found my car destroyed with a note that said "fag" on what used to be my hood. I never thought I'd have to sue my own family, but I'm lucky I have security footage. FML
Today, I rode my bike to work. While biking on the road, I gave a hand signal for turning left. A car passing the opposite way veered towards me and attempted to give me a high five. I now have cuts all over my body and my bike is in two pieces. FML
Today, some blowhard on a motorcycle yelled at me for jaywalking, causing him to almost hit a dumpster. He picked up and threw an empty beer can at me when I started giggling at the sticker on the front of his helmet that said, "If you can read this, I have lost my caravan." FML
Today, I was walking down the street, when a car started cruising alongside me. I looked over, annoyed, at which point the driver started screaming obscenities and telling me that I'm "gonna get it" for "betraying" him, before angrily speeding off. I'm too scared to even sleep now. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Perhaps road rage wasn't the right option to use? Cyclists have a right to use the road, too.

how can two people have thumb down this comment. this person is 100% correct with their post.

You are right about cyclists using the roads, within the scope of the law. Car drivers also have a right to use the road. The response sounds like you are part of the spandex moffia, I do what I want when I want and the car driver is always wrong.

They are correct that cyclists do have a right to share the road, and maybe road rage wasnt the best option. However, destruction of property is a legal issue that no matter if someone honked or cussed you out while youre cycling, this was taken too far

Bicyclists HAVE EVERY RIGHT MOTORISTS HAVE ON THE ROAD! People need to LEARN this fact. Right now I HAVE TO used a bicycle for my mode of transportation as I have a neurological disorder that keeps me from driving and I spend every day dodging donkeys that think they own the road because they are in a 3000 pound hunk of metal. I've started putting some of these inconsiderate drivers on blast through facebook. Sorry OP but YDI

No, OP doesn't deserve to be attacked or have property damaged because they yelled at someone. We don't even know why OP yelled at the cyclist, they could have done something really dangerous. Do you really think that someone who causes someone down and repeatedly damages their property cares about traffic rules?

Lol! I'm sorry, but bicyclists think they can do whatever they want. Hold up traffic, weave in and out

Where I come from there's a bunch of bicyclists. There's enough that there's a bike lane on the road. Even then bike riders will still be riding their bike in the middle of the road which makes it impossible to move around them.

Depends. I've had asshole bikes swerve into my lane because they didn't look. I've had cyclists pedal less then 10 mph during rush hour traffic in the middle of the road. Most cyclists don't use turn signals.

That sucks, I'd have a real temptation to flatten the next one I see.

My dad was hit by a driver that refused to give him the right of way (He was going straight, they turned in front of him). I had to get him at the hospital and see his pillow covered in blood and staples in the back of his head before I even knew it was him. My mom was riding in a bike lane and someone swerved to try and hit her! It was only sheer luck she looked back in time to avoid being hit! F*ck you and everyone else with this mentality! Just because someone is on a bike doesn't make them less of a human! Bikes have the same rights as a car!

They also have the same responsibilities (speed, lane position, signaling, etc) as car drivers. I don't have enough fingers & toes to count the number of times I've had to take action to avoid hitting cyclists who don't pay attention to that.

Cyclists do not have a responsibility to maintain the speed of a car; you must be thinking of motorcyclists. They do however have the right and legal obligation to use a lane of traffic. The onus is on the motorist to pass the cyclist when it is safe to do so. They do not have to move for you. And yes, they are supposed to use hand signals when turning/changing lanes.

"Today I was an asshole to everyone around me, just like every day. But this time there were consequences! FML." I never get tired of FMLs that basically boil down to that.

It reads more as: "I was an asshole one time and people are trying to kill and/or maim me for days on end"

Have you gotten any calls yet? That could be a great side hustle.
