Today, my dad was driving me to college. I'd cracked a joke about how old people like him shouldn't be allowed to drive, and I guess he took it personally, what with him speeding straight up to the parking lot wall, and only braking after I started shrieking in terror. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was driving my grandpa to the store because his car is in the shop. I was well within the speed limit, but he kept yelling at me for "speeding", then accused me of trying to give him a heart attack, and eventually pulled the e-brake, getting us rear-ended. He refuses to apologise. FML
Today, my dad is too old to drive, period, and yet while I was at work my wife thought it was a good idea to let him try her new Mercedes, which by the way I bought and insured. He used the accelerator like he was driving a shitbox Nissan and destroyed our local kebab shop's big front window and door. FML
Today, my dad nearly had a head-on collision with another car, but I grabbed the wheel at the last second, potentially saving both our lives. He spent the rest of the car trip pissed at me because I'd "interfered" with his driving. FML
Today, I illicitly borrowed my dad's car to go to the store, but crashed into my mom's car as she and dad were returning from my grandma's house. Both cars are totalled, my mom is in hospital with a broken collarbone, and I realised dads really can make steam come out their ears if they’re really mad. FML
Today, I was driving around my campsite at dark in the middle of a forest. My father thought it would be funny to run up to my window, put his face against the glass and scream. I drove into a tree. FML
Today, in the midst of his ongoing mid-life crisis, my dad forced me to accompany him for some father-son bonding. The bonding involved me driving us away at high speed after he gleefully hurled a bucket of paint all over a store window. FML
Today, I borrowed my dad's car to run a quick errand, which he never lets me do. I thought I’d got away with it until he got home and started yelling. I forgot, dad always reverses into driveways, while I prefer to drive straight in, and I'd parked his car facing the wrong way. FML
Today, my father took me out for some driving lessons. I accidentally reversed while still in the driveway, and I instinctively hit the brakes. In my panic, I accidentally let go of the brakes, and ended up reversing straight into our house, all while my father yelled "NOOOOOO!" FML
Today, my dad took a call while driving. He always yells and curses at people who talk on their cell while driving. I asked him to get off the phone because it's dangerous, and told him he's being a hypocrite. He shook his head at me and continued talking. Seconds later, we got into an accident. FML
Today, I was driving with my parents while explaining that young people like myself are better drivers because we have better reflexes. My explanation was suddenly interrupted with the sound of me crashing the car against a parked car. FML

YDI for being mean and insulting the elderly

I think it's safe to say you proved your point.

Fiction: Old people are dumb/ignorant and you can do and say what you want and get away with it. Fact: Dude, old people are smarter then you and crazier then you. Odds are, if you test them, your gonna lose.

Thats actually Not true. Henry David Thoreau said in his book Walden that the elder aren't any superior to the young because if they were indeed "so wise", they wouldn't be nobodies. They would actually be successful and powerful. One of the most influential minds during the American Revolution and greatest minds in US history too.

And out of the so called rich and powerful 1%, how many of those people are in there youth? As far as my eyes have carried me, I've mainly seen older, more mature minds capable of sustaining a so called "rich" status or a business

What's with all the YDIs? OP was making a joke for God's sake. Granted, it backfired but I don't think she meant any harm by it.

This makes me wonder how my father would react if I were I ask him the same question......

Ahhh . . . the classic game of 'Chicken' - except in this game the winner was the first one to scream, "Aaaaaaaaaaah! Turn the wheel! Turn the wheel! I don't want to diiiiieeeeeeee . . ." OP's Dad: 1 OP: 0

You're dad sounds awesome but YDI for reminding him that he's getting older. One day, that will be you too...

How smart of you (ahem*).. especially coming from someone who either does not even have a license or need the parent to do the driving because she cannot be trusted behind a wheel.
