Today, my mom once again yelled at me for "driving erratically." She texts while driving 70 miles per hour on the highway, but apparently driving through a yellow light is "reckless." FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my neighbor yelled at me for driving recklessly. I was going 35 mph, and she was stopped in the middle of a road around a blind curve. My "reckless driving" was slamming on the brakes so I wouldn't hit her. FML
Today, while in the car with my mom, she gave me a lecture about how bad of a driver I am. During that process she ran a red light and hit a car. FML
Today, while driving on the streets for the first time, my mom decided that it would be an appropriate time to yell at me for every single mistake I’ve ever made in my life. This stressed me out so much I began driving against traffic. FML
Today, I wrecked my car because my mom texted me, telling me not to text and drive. FML
Today, my mom was driving with my brothers and sister in the back seat. She was turned around talking to us, when my sister told my mom that she missed the light. She ran it, then screamed at us about not paying attention and noticing your surroundings. FML
Today, my mom drove my car and had to make a U-turn on a narrow street. Instead of slowing down, she sped up to turn, running off the road and denting my car. To make things worse, she blamed me for not giving her good directions, then followed that up with, "It's not that bad." FML
Today, I went driving for the first time with my mom. When she wasn't screaming, she gave great advice like, "Stop at the red light" and "Don't crash into cars". I need to drive 50 hours with her. FML
Today, while in the car with my mom, we accidentally ran over a dog who had sprinted into the road. Instead of stopping, my mom continued to drive as if nothing happened. Every time I tried to bring it up, she merely talked loudly over me. FML
Today, my mother started cursing at a lady for tooting her horn at her in traffic, because there was "no need for road rage." When I tried to calm her down, she slammed on the brakes and told me to get out and walk. FML
Today, I saw a woman run down my street screaming, "Fuck you cops! I can drive under the influence if I want to!" It took me a second to realize it was my mother. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

yes ur m is a hypocritical but as you are a new driver, avoid pushing the edge of the envelope until you get a year or two of experience.

Parents sometimes feel like they are way better drivers so they can do stuff like that especially if you are a student driver.

"Look at yourself! A danger to national security! I don't feel safe with you on the streets!" - via text while driving 100 in a 25 zone.

My mum did a very similar thing, when I was learning to drive she'd constantly be screaming for me to stop at junctions, even though I was approaching them slowly and was behind the line. When she drives, she accelerates towards the junction and then slams on her brakes once she's gone past the line, so she ends up becoming an obstruction. She also manages to mount the pavement whilst turning 90 degrees into a junction.

OP! You are a danger to local residents! Watch the f*ck out and try to drive like a normal person! Seriously! Take a hint from your mom, get out your phone, and merge into the fast lane! (Sarcasm)

"Until YOU stop texting while driving, please don't talk to me about "driving erratically". Do you see commercials advertising to not go through a yellow light? No. How about ads about not texting while driving? yeah, it's a thing. and people die from it. not just the texter, but innocent people who "got in the way". So not only could die, but you could go to jail not to mention the overwhelming guilt that comes with taking another life... which could be another woman's child or a child's mother... I'm not saying this to be a dick either, mom. I know you are probably nervous when I drive because it's new and you are protective of me and you don't want me hurt or worse. This speech is me being the same way to you. I don't want to lose you.. no matter how much you may annoy me, your my mom and I'll love you unconditionally. So let's both aim to be good exemplary drivers together, eh? I wanna see you get old and wrinkly and chasing 'those dang whippersnappers' of your porch! *insert smile and BIG hug.. moms are suckers for hugs c; *" (seriously though, texting while driving is inexcusable BS.. please talk to your mom about the safety concerns regarding it.. not just for her safety, but the safety of her potential passengers and the cars/pedestrians around her. it really sucks when innocent people are hurt due to others negligent behavior. totally grinds my gears)

both of you knock it off. Hospitals only admit INJURED. Hospitals never feed you what you really want to eat. Caskets are expensive.

I know the feeling... My girlfriend's grandmother once yelled at me for speeding up a bit to go through a yellow. It was too late for me to start slowing down, slamming my breaks, to her, made more sense though. Snd Yet she was doing 50 in a 35 mph winding road with multiple blind spots and hidden driveways.

I hope she gets her license suspended, morons like that have no business driving.
