Today, my boyfriend wrecked our car. Now I can't get to work in order to make the money we need to buy a new one. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my girlfriend's dad let me borrow his car for transportation to work because mine got totaled. This car is a complete dump and I've realized he's only letting me use it so it's my fault to fix the broken things on the car. So far, I've had to replace the battery and two popped tires. FML
Today, I need money to fix my car, I need my car to get to work, and I need work to get money. FML
Today, my car broke down dead in the middle of the highway. As I was unable to get it out of the road, it was impounded, and my insurance won't help. Now I'm further in debt and struggling to get to work. FML
Today, my fiancée wrecked my car so I had to use my other car to pick her up. Ten minutes after I did, my other car broke down in the middle of the road and I had to get it towed. My insurance covers none of these incidents. FML
Today, I got woken up by my parents telling me I had to go buy a car so they could have transportation. Neither of their cars work, so I was letting them use mine, and then they wrecked it. It needs nearly a thousand bucks in repairs to be drivable again, but since it was my car, I have to replace it now to appease them. FML
Today, I went to my boyfriend's house so that he could break up with me. I went out to my car to leave only to discover that all of the wheels had been stolen. Even the spare. I had to spend the rest of the day with my ex-boyfriend finding a way to get my car home. FML
Today, I bought my very first car that I spent years saving for. A few hours after I signed all the papers, I let my boyfriend go for a test drive. He totaled it. FML
Today, my boyfriend and I got into a fight about a clogged toilet. He was yelling about not having enough money to buy a better plunger and so I stormed out to buy one myself. While pulling his truck into traffic, a car hit me causing $1000 in damage. FML
Today, I got a text from my dad asking about my car in the shop. I'm trying to show them that I can actually be independent, but now they know that not only will it cost all my savings account to fix it, but also that my boyfriend will be driving me to work for the next month while the shop waits for the parts. FML
Today, my car broke down. My boyfriend, who is not too handy, insisted on fixing it. He called me outside and said he was done and started the engine. Moments after rejoicing, it burst into flames. FML

Insurance? If your boyfriend is driving uninsured or the car is uninsured then YDI. Otherwise there's no need to "work" to fix/get the car's money

Can a coworker or friends give you a ride?

OP, does your boyfriend not work? From your wording it sounds like you are taking all the responsibility for his wreck. He needs to take some accountability and pay for the damages. FYL if he is allowing you to suffer a possible lose of employment and source of income for his actions.

It sounds like you don't have a leg to stand on to make an insurance claim. But you have two legs to walk or bike with to work it's just not as convenient as a car sorry for your luck

Get your own damn car and stop depending on other people, this is just an excuse!

This makes no sense. OP is complaining because s/he can't get to work in order to make money to buy a new car to use. How is that depending on other people? Maybe they can't afford to have two cars.

She shared the car with her boyfriend. How the **** was she depending on other people? Many couples share cars.

Alternative to public transport, you could use a bicycle? Unless the distance you have to travel is too far...

Seems to me OP, that your first problem is actually your irresponsible boyfriend.

Your boyfriend doesn't work or have the responsibility to buy another or get an appropriate loan to do so? This shouldn't all be on you.
