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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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.

why are there so many douchebags on here? it snowed 22 inches in a place where people are not really that used to getting snow. last year, it didn't snow at all except for one day in march when it snowed 6 inches at most, and that seemed like a lot. this time it's nearly two feet, and people don't know how to deal with it. i mean, really. think about it, if you spent working on something and then think you're finished only to find that you either have to spend even more time either replacing the tire (which not have been easy to get to in the snow) or digging out the car you just buried. in va, 22 inches is more than a lot.

A 22-inch snowstorm wouldn't even be "epic" in Hawaii. If you're measuring the snow in inches, you don't understand what real snow is. And she had a flat tire... so change the tire. What's the problem?

How do you measure it? Ounces? Gallons? Cubits?

I've never heard anyone measure snow in something other than inches, outside of America. Unless they're saying "about a foot" or "about two feet" of snow. Although really, they'll usually clarify with inches.

http://www.beginningwithi.com/comments/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/IMG_8992.jpg How do you measure how much snow has fallen and how would 22 inches of snow not "even be epic in Hawaii?"

They have mountains you can ski on, so I guess MAYBE up there it wouldn't be considered so much. I totally don't buy that it "wouldn't even be epic" anywhere else.

wait, what? of course they measure in other units than inches outside of america!!! I don't know if you realized, but America is pretty much the only country in the world that actually uses inches, the rest of the world uses the metric system, and therefore measures snow in centimeters. :) also, most of the people who live where the snowstorm hit are not used to several feet of snow, shoveling several feet of snow, or have big enough snow shovels to handle that much snow easily.

Wow, some people are dumb. Oh and "lifeinhd"? The metric system measures snow in centimeters (cm). Not gallons!

I think they were referring to the "If you're measuring the snow in inches, you don't understand what real snow is.", which seems to imply that people who measure snow in centimeters get more of it? Which isn't true, really.

Obviously, Campbell, you miss the sarcasm of my post. He obviously means that the depth of "real snow" is measured using something bigger, such as feet, yards, meters, furlongs, miles, whatever.

yeah, i lve in VA too and i got snowed into a house that wasnt even mine... got stuck there for 3 days cuz no one could drive in the weather. sucked.

Wait, can someone please explain to me how 22" of snow isn't that much? I mean, I live in Minneapolis, MN, where we get plenty of snow, and even here, 22" is no small amount. I'm not saying it's unmanageable, but it's not nothing. Like, is there confusion that 22" means from the ground up, all over? Not 22 square inches of a little snow or something?
