Today, my mom and I had to shovel our driveway after an epic snowstorm that left us with 22 inches of snow. We only needed to dig out my mom's car and not mine. After we did all that work and shoveled all the snow onto the side where my car was we found out my mom had a flat tire. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my mom made me shovel our long driveway, as it had just snowed a couple of inches. It took me two and half hours to finish. She came out and said, "Wow, is this really the best you can do?" FML
Today, I went to shovel the massive amount of snow that was on our car. After spending time in the cold wind, I finally finished, realizing it wasn't my car. It was an identical car. FML
Today, my parents left early in the morning to run some errands, and I thought it would be nice to shovel our rather large driveway for them while they were out. An hour later, they returned from the store with a snow blower. FML
Today, my mom and I were running late for school, and she got pretty stuck in the snow so she asked me to dig her out. Then she ran over my foot. As I got into the car and blamed her for what she'd done, she shouted at me that she couldn't care less, and that we had to hurry. FML
Today, my car got stuck in a foot of snow. I tried desperately digging around my wheels to see if it would help. I was finally able to get out 10 minutes later only to realize that I had dropped my phone in the snow while I was digging and had run over it. FML
Today, I broke, shoveled, and salted the ice covering my entire driveway. The size is roughly 8 cars' worth, and took me two hours of back-breaking effot to clear. I completely forgot that it was supposed to rain later today. FML
Today, I attached fifteen-pound weights to each foot so I could burn some extra calories while shoveling snow. My dad asked me to move one of the cars in the driveway. When I put my foot on the gas pedal, I couldn't take it off. I ended up hitting my sister and knocking her into a snow bank. FML
Today, I got stuck in the snow in the middle of street. As I was just beginning to get myself unstuck, the snow plow came by and buried the front end of my car. FML
Today, as I always do when we get a lot of snow, I shovelled the snow off my elderly neighbor’s driveway. I slipped and fell into a snowbank, breaking my collarbone, and she had to call 911 to help me out because I couldn't snow angel my way up. FML
Today, I was told to shovel four inches of snow from my driveway. I had to get the snow shovel from the rafters of my garage, and there were other tools with it. As I was yanking the shovel down, a pickax fell and smashed through the back window of my dad's Buick. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

So you can shovel driveways, dig out cars, but not change a tire? ..it's 4 or 5 bolts, and all the shit is in your trunk...

I'll bet you felt rather deflated after all of that.

My uncle lives in Virginia and got the same snow. He had a garage, though. Would've been nice, huh? I'm surprised you wouldn't have SOME kind of covered parking option, though, in a state that far north.

really, I live in NY, which is much farther north than Virginia and gets a lot more snow, we do have a garage, but we don't use it, a lot of people don't

Well, if she had one and didn't use it, she really can't complain much. We don't get much snow in Oklahoma, but if I were warned of 22 inches and had a garage that I didn't use, I'd deserve the trouble I got from it.

why not?? What's the point of having a garage then? Especially in a snowstorm.

i live in virginia, too and we never get big snows. the weather said we were going to get 6 inches-- in my area we got 15. it's not like we knew ahead of time. And if you live in the city, garages are hard to come by. It's all street parking.

Yeah, because the storm came out of no where (sarcasm). If you payed attention to the news, you would have learned that the same storm was pouring inches of rain in the south and was moving up the east coast. I live in western NY and the storm didn't get us at all and I still knew about it from watching my local news.

At least you were in it together.

exactly. This isn't a FML at all. It's just a tire, it's not hard to do. Every car comes with the stuff right there that you need to change it. FML for having wasted 20 seconds reading you bitching about a flat tire.

I suppose the FML is here 'cause you didn't have a spare, right..?

hey at least its a good work out

1) Change the tire? 2) Were you planning on not using your car until the snow melted again? Why wouldn't you throw the snow maybe a foot or two further (farther? I always mix those up...) and be able to use your car sometime within the next week. Your fault.

How effin lazy do you have to be to not shovel the whole driveway? We had the same snow, I cleared it all day at work and when I got home we dug out the 3 car driveway plus the decks and patio. 4 or 5 lug nuts to change the tire, come on is this really that tough?

Obviously you had nothing better to do. I live in northern VA and received the same amount of snow as the OP, we cleared just enough of the driveway to get the three cars out, no more. Why? My mom had errands to run, my dad had work, I had projects for school to complete, and my brother can barely lift a snow shovel (he's rather young and small).

Meh, sorry, 22 inches is hardly an "epic" snowstorm. For Virginia, *maybe*.
