Today, the guardian angel charm my grandma gave to me for "safe driving" fell off my sun visor while I was driving. This scared me enough to cause me to swerve into another moving car. So much for safe driving. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was driving with my grandma and she was going 30 over the speed limit. To slow her down, I said, "Hey look, the police". She slammed on the brakes so hard I hit my head on the dashboard. FML
Today, I put my phone on top the car while putting my daughter in her car seat. Told myself not to forget it. Then I drove away, and it flew off the top of the car on the freeway. It got ran over. FML
Today, I was driving my parrot home from the vet. As I was driving home, I decided to let her sit on my shoulder. Something scared her, and she started flapping in my face, causing me to crash my car into a tree. FML
Today, as I was driving, a bird swooped down, right in front of my car. I didn't have enough time to react, and so I had to listen to my wife cry the rest of the way home. She kept talking about how it bounced off the windshield and how it probably had a family. FML
Today, I was feeling super nervous about driving because I had my first accident the day before. As I stopped at a red light, I got rear-ended. FML
Today, after getting out the car and closing the door, I began walking and slipped on some black ice. In the moment of panic, I grabbed onto my car wing mirror. Luckily, I didn't hit the deck. Unluckily, the wing mirror broke off. FML
Today, I took my grandmother for a spin in my new car. Apparently, she had no idea that seat-warmers exist and that hers was turned on, because fifteen minutes into the ride she started shouting, "My ass is on fire!" causing me to swerve into a pole. FML
Today, I was in a car accident. After screaming at the woman for running into me, I got in my car and drove off. As I was driving away, I was staring her down when I ended up rear-ending the person in front of me. FML
Today, I got into a car accident. I got into it because I noticed a flashy new sign on the highway that read "Being an attentive driver prevents car crashes". Thanks for the notice. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Oh my God, you must be a really bad driver if your guardian angel gave up and called it quits.

berichsoon 11
It happened because OP got scared and react, the angel has nothing to do with this
samsaf1989 5
26- are you being serious? I can't tell. Anyway it's obviously a bad jinn and not the good little angel OP thought it was ...
ICastillo 25
How the hell you going to get that scared and swerve into another car?
KrazieKleo 13
47- haven't you ever been spooked before?

1- If you don't want to be thumbed down every single post, I recommend you change your username and profile picture to something that isn't justin bieber related. And yes, I didn't capitalize his name.
onlychildFTW 34
I'm pretty sure your nation is ruined by other things then bieber fans...
chippa 24
They are one problem of many.
PuggieKid 22
Is you ok? Is you? Good; cause I wanted to know.
gmc_blossom 21
71- One Direction fans, maybe? They're ******* crazy.
chell1894 13
Yeah I was going to say, how did that scare op? But at times I find myself spooked by the silliest things when I'm in my own little world thinking about stuff
TheOnlyX 11
71 - You're right, it's the fat JB fans.
gman90210 18
Why would you jump just because something fell? Unless your really paranoid and need help
FATTY_MCDOOGLE 29
This is irony in its purest form.

It's like raaaaaain on your wedding day

39- it's a free rideee, when you've already paid!

62 - someone understands!
Psych101 9
66- No. Everyone understand. That entire song is ironic because none of the scenarios are actually ironic.
Osito2011 9
I'm going to say op is a woman driver and the male symbol is a sham
docscientist 10
Is it really ironic if it's just ignorance of the term's meaning?
WaSiSimiLang 8
68- actually, although it is true everyone understands, the part were she sings "it's like 10 thousand spoons when all you need is a knife" and the part about the old man dying after striking lottery is kinda ironic, but I like your joke about ironic ironic

You're worshiping the wrong god op.
animejen1988 9
Add a few zeros to that price and you've got it.
CallMeMcFeelii 14
I worship the spaghetti monster. He blesses me with endless meatballs and tomatoe sauce. Only when I am completely devoted will he give me the secret ingredient to reach nirvana. It's spaghetti noodles..but shh don't tell anyone!
Jaxx66 21
Yeah 53- 54 is right .... If you wanna be in the Scientology club, you gotta have serious money.
MalloryKnox 8
Oh I get it 56, God is a flying spaghetti monster! Hey everybody, I'm an atheist!!!
CallMeMcFeelii 14
I am completely confused by your comment 80. So confused in fact that I had to comment about how damn confused I am.
MalloryKnox 8
88-that's understandable! It's from an episode of South Park (in which Miss Garrison converts to atheism) and was in response to 56.. I assumed that's what they were talking about since I've never heard a flying spaghetti monster used in an argument about the existence of god anywhere else! It was pretty random, hope that helped :)

You need a charm for safe driving? I thought there were schools for learning how to be a safe driver.
BlowinChronic 18
She gave OP a charm because she was a safe driver from what I could gather, not she received the charm so that she could become a safe driver.
BlowinChronic 18
^misunderstood bury me >.
hatesfate 6
It sounds similar to why some people have rosaries in their car... For "protection" while driving
Welshite 40
I had a similar guardian angel charm when I started driving. I kept it hanging off my rear-view mirror until I had my car accident. Then I threw it away.
tjisnumbaone 5
Haha so true. YDI for having that be a distraction to your driving.
I_iz_B_a_troll 24
My grandma gave me one that says how god is only a prayer away, I guess I'm supposed to bow down while driving? She's a nun so it's okay though. I put it in a hole next to my visors though so it won't fall down :D
PhishloverA 14
What makes you think it was a distraction before it fell?
KiddNYC1O 22
For safe driving not necessarily to be a safe driver. As 18 said.
KiddNYC1O 22
25- You're still breathing, right?
Welshite 40
Please don't take all of my posts at face value. There are few comments I make where I am dead serious.
lindsaymiedema 4
Yes, it's a little clip in the shape of a guardian angel that goes on my sun visor. I guess it got loose!
283leis 8
If your grandma is a nun doesn't she have to stay a virgin for her whole life? So then how would she have given birth to one of your parents?
shadowrider66 6
She had one of her parents then became a nun.
lacespace 8
This is probably the exact reason she gave you the charm, you suck at driving.
EmazingLight 9
Well, that just sucks. Maybe try wearing it on a necklace next time.
ramakanthsj 3
You should never drive with a girl beside you then. God knows what you will crash into at what she does
EmazingLight 9
Wait what? Was that even relevant?
BeforeItWasCool 12
Even with 19 explaining what was meant, it's still so far from relevant. Comments like these irritate me so bad -.-
KaeporaGaebora 4
Jesus take the wheel!
DogsPaw 16
Sexist people should be beaten.
Ameel_fml 19
Is it the fault of the girl for being a distraction, or the fault of the idiot driver who gets distracted by something as common as a person of the female gender?
TheStoryOfWazza 9
Learn how to drive!!!!!
LSS_fml 18
If OP was a good driver they'd know it's safer to brake, not swerve.
Welshite 40
Oh my God, you must be a really bad driver if your guardian angel gave up and called it quits.

If a charm falling from your visor scares you so much that you wreck, you shouldn't be driving anyways.
