Today, my car's parking gear and parking brake failed. I watched as it rolled down a big hill into someone's 2017, $30,000 camper. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I had the lovely experience of witnessing a tow truck cause a couple thousand dollars' worth of damage to my broken-down car. FML
Today, I bought a new $10,000 car since my old one broke down. Today, I also found out the old one wasn’t starting because i never had it in park. FML
Today, I tried to parallel park my car in a tight spot. After several failed attempts, I finally parked, but then realized I had parked on a slight incline. My car started rolling backwards. I had to chase it down the street in my pajamas. FML
Today, I watched my car roll backwards on the freeway, while attached to the tow truck that I was sitting in. 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
Today, I received a parking fine for $147. My car isn't even worth that much. FML
Today, my rental car had an automatic rear hatch. That sounded helpful until I used it and it emptied $60 in just-purchased groceries for the week on the parking lot pavement. The jars and jugs weren't ready for the leap. FML
Today, I was finally given a parking spot at work. It turns out to be between an expensive sports car that never parks straight and a giant truck too big for its space. FML
Today, I was hit by an unmanned semi truck that rolled down an embankment onto the highway. I'm fine, but the entire left side of my car is smashed in. The idiot responsible had to be dragged down the hill by the cops. Apparently, he was peeing and forgot to put the parking brake on. FML
Today, I was driving my rented car on the highway at 60 mph when I realized that the brakes had gone. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

That's why when you park facing up a hill you turn your wheels towards the street or when parking facing down the hill you turn the wheel towards the curb so that way if your parking brake fails you don't roll into other things. This is basic driver's ed shit. You deserve it, dumbass.

It’s highly unlikely that both failed simultaneously. More likely OP forgot to take it out of gear or neutral and didn’t set the parking brake when they got out.

OP here! I actually did have my brakes set. I've been having issues with my axel lately and it slipped out when my friend bumped my steering wheel as he reached into my car from the window.
