Today, while at a stop light, I was rear-ended by a car behind me. The guy got angry at me, because according to him, I should've known that his car has poor braking distance, and so I should've moved forward a few more feet to compensate. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was driving to work and stopped at a stop light. A full 2 or 3 seconds passed, followed by a car rear-ending me. The idiot driving it got out and gave me hell, calling me a maniac because I braked "too quickly" and didn't give him a chance to react. FML
Today, I was driving home from work and noticed the car behind me was tailgating me pretty badly. I was starting to get angry with the driver, and kept glancing in my rear view mirror at him. While I was doing so, the traffic ahead of me stopped, and I rear-ended the car in front of me. FML
Today, the person I was driving behind put their car in reverse and backed straight into me. I was then yelled at and told, "I had my reversing lights on! Why didn't you move?!" FML
Today, I got rear ended. The guy flashed his lights at me to pull over, so I pulled into the side of the road. He drove away. FML
Today, I stopped at a red light, when I noticed the car in front of me was in reverse. I honked at the driver, hoping he'd realize and place the car in drive. He thought the light turned green and immediately backed into me. FML
Today, while driving to work, some asshole stopped sharply on the 60 mph highway because he almost hit the car in front of him. Even with maintaining my distance, and slamming on the brakes, I still ruined the front end of my car on his dented bumper. I haven't even had the car for a year, and I'm still the one at fault. FML
Today, I was driving home when a guy crashed into me from behind. I got out of my car and told him that I was going to call the cops. He then asked me if we could move to a corner because we were blocking the way, so we then got back in to move. I looked in the mirror to see him driving off. FML
Today, I decided to be a good driver and not run through the yellow light. As soon as I stopped my car another came and rear-ended me. The guy told me to go in the parking lot so we can exchange information. So I drove into the parking lot, I turned my head and watched him drive away. FML
Today, I was sitting in a drive-thru with my girlfriend waiting for our food and the idiot behind me rear-ended me. I got out of the car to tell him he'd rear-ended me. He then argued with me, saying he "didn't feel it." FML
Today, I got rear-ended at a stop sign on a seldom used road in my neighborhood. As I open my car door to trade insurance information with the guy, he backs up a little and speeds away, taking my car door with him. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Well most insurance companies will find him at fault, so it should be covered. Still sucks to be you though.

don't worry, i'm sure the insurance companies won't cut him a brake.

Sounds like the kind of person who was told that nothing is their fault one too many times...people these days

Not only is he at fault, if he tries that excuse on the police or insurance company, he could get himself in deeper trouble. Which I hope he does.

I agree, he can get charged with having improper equiptment (brakes), tailgating, and probably a few other things

What a douche. Maybe he will feel differently when his insurance rates go up. I would have told him tough ******* luck. Don't drive on bad brakes, duh.

That's the stupidest excuse I've ever heard. I really hope he's not expecting anyone to believe him.

'I was rear-ended by a car behind me.' Redundancy at its finest. But good luck to you in the future, op.

23- that could actually happen I guess, it'd be a convoluted way of saying somebody backed onto your car perhaps.

Well, hope you got his insurance cuz you should get him to repair your car and pay for all your medical charges plus extra

Maybe the guy that hit op will learn not to tailgate ( if op hadn't been fully stopped when the guy approached) good luck op insurance will pay for it :)
