Today, my tire blew while I was on the freeway. I had to change the tire in pouring rain while wearing short shorts and flip-flops. No one stopped to help, but several people politely honked as if to remind me of my misfortune. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, while riding my bike in the rain to a counselling appointment about my depression, my shoelace came untied and got caught around my pedal, causing me to go flying off my bike directly in a huge muddy puddle right in front of a busy street of people. No one offered to help me. FML
Today, I saw a car on the side on the highway with a popped tire. The driver didn't have a spare, so I nicely gave them mine. One hour later my tire popped. FML
Today, one of my tires blew out on the highway. I managed to slow down and pull over without dying, and went to get my spare tire. I found it right where it was supposed to be, knifed to hell and with a taunting note from my psycho ex taped to it. We broke up nearly 3 years ago. FML
Today, after rolling my car on the highway, I witnessed several people stop and get out of their cars to take pictures. No one asked if I was okay, and I was the one who had to call 911 for myself. FML
Today, I was driving to an important job interview, and I was running late. Just as I was about to get on the highway, I saw my ex standing by the road with a flat tire. I stopped to help because I'm a nice person. Turns out, the spare tire was also flat. We called for a tow truck, and I missed my interview. FML
Today, my car broke down in traffic. It's okay though, everyone honked in support while I moved my vehicle from the busy intersection. Only the third time this month. FML
Today, I came back from a 700-mile round trip. I hit a massive pothole I couldn't avoid and blew out a tire and bent my rim. I was less than a mile from my house. FML
Today, I went to have my tires replaced. While I was paying, the cashier asked if I would like a warranty for the tires. I said, "Nah, only idiots who can't drive need that." While pulling out of the parking lot, I took the turn too wide and popped my tire on the median. FML
Today, at 5:30 on a Sunday, I noticed my tire had a bubble in it. I found a tire shop 15 minutes away that would be closing at 6pm and made it there in time, but the shop had closed early. I left to try and make it to the next one and had a blow out. FML
Today, as I got on the bus to commute to work, its front right tire exploded. Everyone, including the driver, glared at me while getting off. The next bus arrives in 2 hours. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I don't think they were reminding you of you misfortune, but thanking you for the show.

Entertainment at someone else's expense, their karma is in jeopardy...

#23, Agreed. At FML, people volunteer their experiences for others' amusement.

Well aren't you just a peach. And by "peach" I mean "obnoxious little girl".

Well everyone on here is saying how the people that honked and just drove by will receive their karma soon. This could be her version of karma. The karma just keeps going round. Like a circle. The circle of karma

Kudos for being a female and able to change your own tire. I would think the task would be easy in theory to do but will admit, I don't think I would physically be strong enough to do myself. :P

this type of thing just happened to me about 2 weeks ago when i got out of work. it was also raining though, thankfully, not very hard but i only had a flat and not a blow out. i drove about a mile on the flat to the tire place down the road, but unfortunately they were closed for the day. so i decided to fix it myself. i jacked up the car and got the hubcap off, only to find that i am not strong enough to remove the bolts on the tire. i know what to do, i'm just not strong enough to do it i guess. i was also shocked that nobody driving by stopped to help because i am a small lady [5'2" and 110 lbs] so all those drivers should have known i couldnt do it alone. luckily for me i have a cousin and uncle, both mechanics, who live about 5miles from where i was who were willing to come help me out

People can be real dicks. If I saw a woman changing her own tire , by herself , even in the rain, I would have stopped to help. It's bullshit that people can be that way.

Short shorts and not one person stopped?! What is this world coming too?! lol At least you now know you can change your tire...and in the pouring rain! You go, OP!!

Hmmm. I'm a woman. If we want equality (equal pay, rights, respect) we have to stop expecting to be taken care of, and take care of ourselves. Being a responsible driver means being prepared. Can't change a tire? Plan for it! Get AAA or make sure you have a friend who will help. Your problem. You deal with it. That's what adult human beings do.

Op knows how to change a tire. But thanks for your useless rant.

Is that what being a radical feminist does to your brain? You manage to make EVERYTHING about gender... Op is not complaining as a female in distress but as a person in a bad situation while no one is offering their help...something which could happen to a man as well
