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?

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.

It can't have been 22 inches you fool, you must mean centimetres, think how big an inch is!

No. It was inches. That's why it was a big deal. "You fool."

Ehm, we have 1 - 1.5 m here in Latvia in some regions, so I guess it could've easily been 22"...

Did you know that the world record for snowfall in a 24-hour period was in April 14th to 15th, 1921 at Silver Lake, Colorado, USA. They received 170 cm (1.70 m) of snow.

It's plenty. Plus it was really powdery, and stuck to the shovels all too well.

I'm gonna insult you in a different manner from everyone else. YDI for owning a car, buy a 4 wheel drive truck.

Dude, the OP lives in VA. VA almost never receives anywhere near that amount of snow. No need to waste gas (and by extension, money) driving a truck, when a car works fine 99999 days out of 100000.

Does your car work 99999 days out of 100000? You actually owned a car for over 270 years? Holy Shit.

Did you read what I wrote? I'm saying we don't get enough snowfall in VA to merit a truck 99999 days out of 100000. Not saying/implying anyone would own the same car for that long. BTW, it's called hyperbole. Everyone knows it's more like 99998/99999 days.

a 4 wheel drive truck won't get you too far either. having a 2 wheel drive truck myself, my dad and i saw plenty of people stuck in the snow because they thought they could get somewhere fast in the 4 wheel drive. fyl for digging out the car and finding a flat.

I'm so mad I didn't go to Virginia a few days earlier to see the snow. My dad and sister still live in Fredericksburg. I got nothing in North Carolina, like always. Now, the snow is melting there. It's so unfair. OP: That sucks. Don't use the word "epic" though. It's really getting old.

So it snowed. Big deal. Learn to live with it. 22 inches is not much. So you have a flat. Big deal. Learn to change a tire. A flat is not hard to change.
