Today, while driving home from school, I noticed one of our hot quarterbacks in the car behind me. Trying to impress him, I pulled into the driveway of an expensive-looking house. To my horror, he pulled in behind me and asked what I was doing at his house. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, while driving, I idly started picking my nose. I looked over at the car next to me and saw a smoking hot guy from my school staring at me in disgust. He kept staring until I took a turn-off. FML
Today, I drove my ex-boyfriend home from dropping his car at the garage for new tires. On the way, I drove past my house where my boyfriend was sitting in the driveway ready to surprise me. My boyfriend watched us drive by. FML
Today, I was driving home from school when I saw this girl I like walking home. Trying to be polite, I pulled over and asked if she wanted a ride. My offer was rejected as she said, "No, I'm actually already home," and walked up the nearest driveway. My driveway. FML
Today, I noticed I parked behind a boy I like. Trying to impress him with my driving skills, I ended up forgetting to put the car in reverse and rear-ended him. FML
Today, I watched my high school crush pull into the parking spot next to me, and then almost immediately he started backing out once he saw me parked next to him. FML
Today, while driving home, some idiot kept tailgating me, so I slowed down, hoping he'd overtake me. He didn't, so I pulled to the side of the road. He did the same, in front of me. He kept toying with me until I crashed into another car trying to speed away from him. 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, I decided to ask my friend to the school dance, which is one where the girls ask the guys. I spent hours placing signs down his street so he would see them on his way home. As I was waiting in his driveway with balloons, I saw his car reverse and go in the opposite direction. FML
Today, my dad was driving me home and was angrily explaining how my boyfriend was a bad influence and that he was hanging out with the wrong crowd. After finally convincing him to give him another chance, we stopped at a traffic light just in time to see my boyfriend being chased by police. FML
Today, I was driving along when I saw a hot girl walking. I decided to impress her by doing a 180 degree turn. Successfully pulling off my trick, I decided to back up so I could go the right way. Not looking behind, I backed up and smashed into a wall. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

YDI, why make a guy judge you from where you live than who you really are. Hope you had a good excuse for pulling up to his place.

Wow ydi, if you think that having to impress someone by where you live makes a difference. The house would belong to the parents, not you, it doesn't show anything about YOU...

For all you know, the people in this anecdote may be well-off college students living on their own.

Valid point, but it just read as someone in high school to me. IMHO people usually stop trying to be what they are not and find out who they really are by the time they have their own house.

while that may be true, we live in a world with incredibly shallow people. in fact, we ALL have a shallow side... I think a big house would impress most people

I don't think we ALL have a shallow side.. I think it's mostly people who have been raised in circumstances where a "shallow side" is normal that actually have a "shallow side"

This is why you shouldn't try and be someone you're not in order to impress someone you buffoon.

Blame it on your GPS!

what happens when OP doesn't have a gps or the gps isn't installed? Then they'll look worse.

Smartphones typically have GPS-ish apps.

How many damned FMLs are we going to see that contain the phrase "trying to impress him/her"? ALWAYS an instant "You're an idiot". I petition for the creation of a "You're an idiot!" button.
angrymexican 8
I second!
Dracoboxer357 36
^ While it would be more fun to push a "Your an idiot" button, "you deserve it" pretty much says exactly that, as only an idiot would do most anything ydi can cover. ;P Yes I know you know that. Just restating the obvious I guess. ;P

Doc, I will gladly sign your petition. Why can't these people just learn that trying to impress someone or trying to look cool will never work? :(

Just redefine YDI - "YOU DAMN IDIOT"

At least you learned a lesson about trying to be someone you're not.

"I uh... got a flat tire?"
ripresno 10
But wouldn't the guy look to see which tire was flat and would then notice that no tire was flat. That would only make the situation much more awkward.

That's when you kiss him and before he realizes what happened, you run to the car and drive as fast as you can.

That's when you kiss him and before he even realizes what happened, hop in your car and drive as fast as possible.

I'm still trying to figure out how the op expected this guy to know who she was in her car..

Should have played it off and said oh wrong house then. My friend so and so lives around here. I'll have to call her and see exactly where it is. Easy enough. Besides that would be dumb to impress like that. What if he ever really wanted to go to your house and then you would have to tell him u lied!
