Today, while my mother was driving me to school, her coffee started to spill. So like a normal parent, she held it over my lap. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my mom needed coffee so I drove to Starbucks to get her some. She let me drive the Porsche, which has never happened. Upon coming home I picked the coffee up out of the cupholder so it wouldnt spill. My phone vibrated in my pocket, I spilled the coffee and crashed the car into the garage. FML
Today, I bought a coffee on my way to work and put it in the cup holder. At the next red light, I noticed it was empty. I'd apparently forgotten to put the lid on. My passenger seat was covered in coffee. FML
Today, I was drinking coffee out of my favorite mug, when it slipped out of my hand. I caught it, but not before most of the hot coffee spilled all over my lap. In reaction, I dropped the mug again, shattering it. FML
Today, I had to be the designated driver for my mom and aunt. While driving them home, my aunt threw up on the car floor and my mom peed her pants, leaving a puddle in the seat. It was my car. FML
Today, I took the bus to work. I was exhausted and had a big mug of coffee. Half asleep and thinking I was in my car, I reached forward to put it in the "cup holder" during the ride. When I let go, I poured hot coffee not only all over myself, but also on the large, angry-looking man next to me. FML
Today, I was running late for work and I was carrying my stuff to my car, handbag over my shoulder, laptop in one hand, and my coffee in the other. As I tried to unlock my car, I spilt the coffee all over myself, the car, and my laptop. Now, I’m sticky, wet, and my laptop won't turn on. FML
Today, I grabbed a coffee at the McDonald's drive-thru on my way home from work. As I drove away from the restaurant, a kid darted across the parking lot right in front of me. I had to slam hard on my brakes to avoid hitting him, in the process spilling my hot coffee all over my jeans. FML
Today, I discovered I'd left my coffee on top of my car when it fell through the sun roof whilst I was driving, showering me. FML
Today, I was pouring boiling water into a cup, and I accidentally spilled it all over my hand. My mother responded by slapping me for getting water everywhere. My hand is scorched red, but thanks, I love you too, mother. FML
Today, my mom was in the kitchen when her shirt caught on fire. Acting quickly, I poured my glass of water on her. Instead of thanking me, she yelled at me for making a mess. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

So... How was it?
howdeedoo 22
Let me guess....painful???
rhaemese 9
I think the wonderful feeling of burnt skin must've made OP happy..
nash1991 20
Not if the coffee was warm/cold!
Synistiel 14
9- I still don't think OP would have enjoyed that...
rhaemese 9
@9 I'm pretty positive OP's mom wasn't drinking warm/cold coffee...
gc327072 31
~that's hot~
nash1991 20
I'm pretty sure my original comment was supposed to be sarcastic...
rhaemese 9
^ you should know sarcasm is no longer appreciated on FML.
thatKidzmOm 10
Use the ~ to indicate sarcasm. I thought that was agreed upon already?
nash1991 20
Well I'm sorry.. I'm new to fml as you can see by my whopping 12 comments... I wasn't aware there was a symbol for sarcasm on fml. I will be sure to keep that in mind for next time :)

At least you are useful in life!

That's the spirit!

No cup holders? Should have gone for the Camry, they have 12 cup holders.
Silent_Thrill 17
12!? Mine only has one. It's a shoe in the passenger side floor board. Damn cars from the 80's.

The day I wore a white shirt to school my brother slammed on the breaks while I was in his car and I spilt it all over myself.
ICastillo 25
Why do you need coffee, you're fifteen years old? You should be all peppy in the mornings .
lilhellian 27
36 Why do I rarely see cute girls in my age bracket anymore.. :(
unknown_user5566 27
If they were white, OP could just hold an impromptu wet-pants contest. Her popularity would skyrocket! :)
lilhellian 27
Two interesting visuals in one day?!! Nice one kyleekay! :D
DracoSpirita 21
37 - Some of us teenagers aren't morning people. Some of us are "Shdbwhxsmfshutthefuckupyoupeppypeopleimgoingtokillyoudjshshsjsn" people.
ICastillo 25
Alright calm down, you drink all the mocha lattes you want. Just asking. *takes a sip of coffee*
Silent_Thrill 17
Coffee!? Lattes!? hahahaha... how silly. The best part of waking up is virgin blood in your cup. Didn't you know? The repressed sexual frustration really gets you up there. Though it does make this whole spilling situation dramatically worse.
lilhellian 27
Unusual comment.. I'll gove you that.. Virgin blood.. Care to share a taste?

-63 I get it's a joke but what the ****...
codyjohn17 5
Keepin it really sexy..... Oh wait, that was a creepy ass thing to say!
Silent_Thrill 17
75- That's my thing on both the internet and in real life. I make messed up jokes that mainly just confuse and sicken people while I sit back and laugh oh so much. My mother is real proud of me...
ihaveFMLfeverr 5
Lol 37, I have been drinking coffee since I was 8.
ICastillo 25
Well #81 is it true does it stunt your growth drinking coffee at a young age? Are you a midget?
lilhellian 27
Oddly enough I know several midgets that drink coffee a lot...
ICastillo 25
#83 I was just joking man. But I really have heard it stunts your growth if you drink at a young age.
moonboobs 4
It does. So do monsters and redbulls. My sister is 19 and 4' 9". She has coffee twice a day.
IconicLemon 8
Your life has a purpose. Hahaha.
blcksocks 19
To be a cup-holder?
kyliersb 4
My 7 year old cousin told me wants to be a cup-holder when she grows up..
bandofsand 10
OP do you mind holding my cup while I write out my comment. Thanks.
RedPillSucks 33
My daughter wanted to be a nut cracker. And she wasn't talking about the ballet.

Hey, Your mom never used you as a hail protector
BlowinChronic 18
Did yours?
fml121785 14
Wtf is a hail protector?
Shadow2193 5
Or as a human shield
MidnaLink 35
If you're going to do that, comment to the person you're saying that to... or use their # or username

So in situations like this what goes through "YDI" peoples head?
lilhellian 27
They might be thinking.. YDI for not throwing it window? Or for not spilling it on her? Take your pick..
howdeedoo 22
Maybe, "OP should have known that her coffee was going to spill and done something to prevent it" or something to that effect
_wraith 15
Wait, OP should have known that her mother's coffee was going to spill?
lilhellian 27
18 We were saying potential things that the YDI people might be saying... Get literate please...
gc327072 31
Something like "YDI 4 BEING BORN LULZ ROFLCOPTER"
gc327072 31
Accidental double post. Nothing to do here... *jetpack*
WhitePrettyKitty 10
OP could have held the coffee for her mother... If my mom held it over my lap because it was about to spill I would hold it for her until the car was stopped and she could drink some of the coffee so it wouldn't spill.
I_iz_B_a_troll 24
YDI for being too proud to ride the bus/too lazy to walk. YDI for trying to get an education. YDI for caring what your clothes look like. YDI for wearing clothes. YDI for not being lovable enough. YDI for being a girl. YDI for not having spare pants, what if you sneeze again?! Yellow and brown, people aren't going to buy a lemonade and coffee excuse this time...
Zomg_Okay 27
YDI because my life isn't complete until I have the two YDI badges.
insomnimaniak 19
YDI because I need to be unique and vote opposite of the majority in order to feel good about myself and be able to sleep at night
Driblets 8
YYDI for not driving yourself YDI for being too young to drive YDI for not carpooling
hama806 19
It's a natural instinct for a parent to protect their young. I hope it didn't spill on you though.
BlowinChronic 18
She wasn't protecting her young, instead she was putting them in danger.
taranpreet 7
Yeah but if the coffee spilled on her both their lives would be at risk as she's the driver...however..she could have asked OP to hold it.
savage93 11
Hands down 13 has The Dumbest comment.
CharresBarkrey 16
33 - That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard. She's probably more distracted reaching over to hold it over her daughter than she would have been to just spill it on herself.
hama806 19
Yes you are all right. What on earth was I thinking.
feldco1 17
I know that I do that when there's no one in the car. She might have done that out of habit.
capslockisgood 19
Hopefully.
kingbrizo 24
it seems very probable...my mum does that too, just as a habit when going thru dips in the road

Coffee, a part of every child's nutritious breakfast!
