Today, while driving home from work, I noticed the driver next to me was happily chatting on her phone. I fucking despise these would-be murderers, so I slammed my horn to signal my disgust. She panicked and swerved straight into my car. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I saw a woman still texting on her phone as she started to drive away when the light turned green. I made sure to stare her down and give her a dirty look because she wasn't paying attention to driving. She laughed as I rear-ended the car in front of me. FML
Today, I was driving when a woman started crossing the street against the light at the upcoming intersection, so I slammed on the brakes and stopped short of hitting her. That's when she intentionally jumped onto my car and started screaming that I had "mowed her down". The cops believed her. 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 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 was driving to work when I was almost hit by a teenage driver. I gave her the finger and shouted "F*** you!" making sure that she heard me. I then saw my boss glaring at me from the passenger seat. FML
Today, while driving to a client's home, I received a text. Since I loathe those who text and drive, I pulled into a convenience store's parking lot. While I was texting, a car sped into the lot, rear-ending my car. FML
Today, I was driving around a parking lot, looking for an empty spot. Someone was backing out a bit too quickly as I was about to pass by, so I honked to announce myself. The driver instead panicked and reversed into my front bumper. FML
Today, I was walking through a crosswalk when a lady in a car looked at me with a horrified expression and then hit her door locks repeatedly. FML
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 sitting in a parked car. A woman was having difficulties maneuvering out. She honked the horn repeatedly for me to move, then looked me in the eye and called me a "f**king bitch", before driving off. I was in the passenger seat. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Never startle a distracted driver, YDI.

I don't think this has anything to do with him needing to mind his own business because talking on your phone is illegal and dangerous, potentially affecting every other person on the road around them if they lose control of their car. What is completely and utterly stupid is that TC is fully aware that people on mobiles are at a higher risk of losing control of the car and crashing and he decides to create a loud sound in order to distract them further, for the sole purpose of displaying his disgust. When you see a high-risk situation, why the **** would you go out of your way to add to the problem? TC, I think you're damn lucky that no one was hurt because you couldn't contain your need to display your opinion. Next time, if it bothers you so much that you can't bear not doing something about it, simply make a mental note of their number plate, pull over, notify the police and let them handle it safely and responsibly.

Which is all well and good except that the police won't do anything about it. Chances are pretty good it isn't illegal in whatever state OP lives in and even if it is police don't act on hearsay. How would they know that OP isn't just an estranged ex or a prankster? Unless the cops see it it generally doesn't count...

*Correction: They're from the UK and it is illegal there, however still if the cops are anything like they are in the states they will kindly thank you for notifying them, then do absolutely nothing about it

so, you "******* despise these would-be murderers" and the best solution is to scare the shit out of one while she's driving? Yeah...is it cold up there, high on your pedestal OP?

YDI. Assholes like you who feel they are the law kill people. not someone talking on the phone. Maybe now you'll be less of a prick.

I sympathies with your dislike. I can't even count the number of times I've almost been hit by some soccer mom in a minivan on a phone or such, including ones running red lights because of their "emergency call". It's why I've taken to running across the street even when there is a red light with a cross walk.

Just would like to point this out the op is most definantly retarded for laying on the horn, and startling an already distracted driver there's no question about that, however the fact that this is in response to a cell phone conversation ( not texting ) is absolutely ridiculous. Talking on the phone any more distracting then talking to someone I the passenger seat, and we've all done it. The op deserves to pay for every bit of damage for making a big deal over nothing and causing a pointless wreck

As a motorcyclist, I have an extreme dislike of people who don't pay attention to the road because of the higher-than-usual risk that one of those chowderheads is going to end my life one of these days. Of course, this includes people who gab on the phone while driving. That said, two wrongs don't make a right. Please refrain from playing traffic cop and leave that to the actual cops.
