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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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.

Question is, would you have gotten off for someone else in the same situation. The sad thing is, mostly everyone would say no, including myself, which I feel so bad saying, but it's the truth. Hopefully I can change myself, because it all starts with me, and then it starts with you.

I would stop if I knew how to help. But honestly, if you don't know what your doing and you stop your just getting in everyone's way.

Actually, you never know too little when someone is in need. Any help would help. What if the person is hurt? I'm not just talking about OP. many people are on the side of the road everyday. What if they had a heart attack from the incident.

Actually, I take that back, mostly everyone would say yes, but they would be lying...

I'm the OP. I had to make an account to comment. I would and have stopped to help people in these situations. I was wearing short shorts and flip flops because I was going to the climbing gym. Climbing shoes are not a good idea to be driving with. I was mainly only frustrated with people because I'm 5' tall and only about 100lbs and was having difficulty, not because I don't know how to change a tire I obviously got the task done. I also had my Son and there's nothing more nerve wrecking then being stranded in a dangerous place with your child. It also rarely rains here. So when it does a lot of car accidents happen.

And that's what I'm saying,.. You never know what the situation is. And even if you don't know much about changing a tire, it would help better than the mechanic driving by to his next appointment to make money. Thing is, most people don't stop because they think they won't be any help, well their help would've been more than none, and would've been appreciated.

Omg anyone who's judging what you wore is an idiot. You shouldn't have to explain why you were wearing NORMAL clothes! It sounds like that was a very stressful situation and I'm glad you got through it okay. And people honking would be adding insult to injury. Plus, a girl who can change a tire in the rain with flip flops and shorts on and a child to watch? You. Are. A. Rock star.

Dear I'm just glad that you actually know how to change a tire. I'm 18, female, and well on my way to becoming a mechanic. Its alarming to know how many women my mother's age that don't even know how to use booster cables, let alone change a tire. Congratulations, wonder woman is right.

So you decide booty shorts, and flip flops during storms? And driving through it. Look at the weather app. You have a phone/computer to do so.

Weather isn't always predictable.

I kind of understand why no one stopped. You here about people stopping to help someone all the time and getting robbed.

Nothing hotter than a cute chick in flip flops.

I know dat's right! I think you've found the reason no one stopped. Short shorts? Check. Slowing down. Flip flops? Check. Slow Down more. Cute chick? Wah-Wah-Wah, step on it!

I see many comments saying "shouldn't have worn short shorts" what do they have to do with anything? That's like me telling some dude "man.. Don't wear pants, it makes your tires blow in the rain.."
