Today, my car was towed for the second time in front of my own house. They tried to tell me it was because they didn't think I lived there anymore. The person who had it towed had just spoken to me not three hours before. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I walked to work. I later discovered that my husband had parked my car in a no-parking area. My job is towing cars. I had to tow my own car. FML
Today, I paid $125 to get my car back after it was towed. Yesterday, I bought the car. When I got it to my apartment, the office wasn't open, so I couldn't get a parking decal. The same office that towed my car while they were still closed. FML
Today, my car broke down. I pulled to the side of the road to call a tow truck. After waiting what seemed like hours, the tow truck showed up, and then ran into the back of my car. FML
Today, I got a speeding ticket in the mail, at the same time as my car was getting towed. FML
Today, my car was towed. After taking a cab all the way to the lot for $45 and paying the $250 fee to get my car back, my car broke down in the impound lot and needed to be towed to the nearest shop, where it took another $200 to fix, and $50 for the towing. I still have a 3-hour drive home. FML
Today, I came outside to leave for work. To my shock and horror my car was gone. My asshole neighbor, who has parked in my spot multiple times decided to let her noisy guests park in my parking spot, so I parked in hers. She had my car towed. FML
Today, after 3 days of hearing a car alarm going off almost continuously, the city finally came and towed it. Immediately after, the owner showed up with a switchblade, inquiring who called the city. My neighbors ratted me out, despite the fact I had nothing to do with it. FML
Today, I went to lunch with a friend in her car. I told her to park in a lot that had signs warning that we'd be towed, saying, "They never tow anyone from here. In fact, if you get towed, I'll pay for it." When we returned, her car was gone. I had to pay $145 in cash to get it back. FML
Today, my boss reported to the police that a suspicious car has been parked outside the store late at night. I walked outside and my car was gone. He had my car towed. FML
Today, I let my friend borrow my car. She parked it in a towing zone, and it was towed. The best part is, it was towed by a bogus towing company. The cops assure me it's safe in a chop shop somewhere. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I'd MAKE it a personal problem. Shoot their car with a shotgun. Repeatedly. And then claim that you thought it was a deer. Problem solved, Dick Cheney style.

That would cause more problems than solve.

Probably! Or the person must have a bad memory!

Stupid neighbors seem to a problem for many people.

Stick a nail under their tire. One for each tow should solve it

Wow. They should pay you.

Or don't park in the street park in your driveway
Pandacupcakelove 26
Who said OP parked in the street?
Brool_Story_Co 17
25- If you get towed, it's probably because you were parked on the street. I don't think many people get towed from their own driveway
Brool_Story_Co 17
Correction: I meant 24, it showed up as 25 when I posted the comment.
xxGheTToGumbYxx 16
Some people have to park in the street because they have no driveway.
Brool_Story_Co 17
Or it could have switched back to 25, arghh. I give up.

33- shhhh, it's ok darling. It's ok.

I'm probably gonna get thumbed down right now but 31 I didn't mean to thumb you down.
CookieGirl4ever 13
Lol, I knew I was going to get thumbed down I just felt bad and wanted him to know I was sorry and I didn't mean to thumb him down... yea I'm weird and realize everyone probably thinks I'm an idiot so I should probably shut up now.

who says OP's house was dirty?
adamjohnson 5
If they didn't think he lived there anymore the house must have looked abandoned and dirty

32- I don't know anyone who doesn't have a driveway
Brool_Story_Co 17
94- Me and everyone who lives on my street have no driveway. Lots of people don't have driveways.

Lemme guess... People are gonna say that if they don't bring your car back you must sue! Sue them for everything they have...

Well at the very least the ass that keeps getting the car towed should be paying the fees.
tygerarmy 35
And I would call the better business bureau, even if I wasn't charged fees. The car is not in a tow-away zone and no one called it it. The guy/company has horrible business practices.

Because if your car was unlawfully towed and you were out a few hundred you'd just let that go and move on right?
omgitsshorti 5
That's not good. I'd make them pay for the towing.

Are you that forgettable? That's a sign to work on your people skills, OP...

OP is the one getting towed not the one getting the car towed
Kimitte 1
Uhm, OP's the one getting his/her car towed because they think no one lives where OP lives, but the person towing OP's car spoke to OP earlier. Re-read the FML :)

Turnabout is fair play. Get the ****** back and get THEIR car towed

When it happens (sadly quite often) that there's just NO reasoning with some people.
TheDrifter 24
Subtle. I'm sensing that you're not well liked in your neighborhood.

You must be a real dumb ass to let people think you don't live in your house anymore

Plant some flowers or something so it looks like you live there!(:
Pandacupcakelove 26
Agreed! If people think nobody lives in your house, there's probably a reason.. Make it look like a home! :)

Tell the person they need a psychiatric screening, preferably one that includes an amnesia test.
RedPillSucks 33
or have your psychiatrist hit them with a screen door. It's just about the same thing, right?
