Today, while stuck in a traffic jam, my son silently changed my gear to reverse. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Same thing different taste
Today, I was stuck in stand-still traffic for 5 minutes, before realizing I had stopped behind a parked car. FML
Today, I was giving my son a driving lesson. He blatantly ran a red light, so I told him to pull over to let me drive us home. As I walked over to the driver-side door, he instead locked me out and drove off by himself. FML
Noooooooo!
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, my son thought he'd take my new car for a drive without permission. He accelerated straight into a tree, reversed into a lamppost and then accelerated again into the neighbours car. FML
Stuck on Amber
Today, a stoplight turned yellow as I was approaching it. I was about to go through but saw a cop, panicked, and slammed on the brakes. I ended up in the middle of the intersection and had to reverse. Soon the light turned green, and I stepped on the gas. My car was still in reverse. FML
Alexa, play "Your Daddy's Car" by The Divine Comedy
Today, I borrowed my dad's car to run a quick errand, which he never lets me do. I thought I’d got away with it until he got home and started yelling. I forgot, dad always reverses into driveways, while I prefer to drive straight in, and I'd parked his car facing the wrong way. FML
Move!
Today, I got stuck in traffic and angrily honked at the car in front of me. Then I realized it was a hearse. FML
Today, I mistook my dog's head for the gear shift while tearing down the highway. 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 let my son take my car out for a spin, since he just got his licence. He didn't make it out of our street before totaling it. FML

if your son is too young to understand why he shouldn't do that then he's too young to be sitting in the front seat. ydi

You can tell this is a lie because you need your foot on the clutch
twinny_sc 13
27, You only need your foot on the clutch if the car is a stick shift. If the car is automatic then all you need to shift gears is have your foot on the break and it's obvious that's what happened.

There should be rules if your going to let a kid sit in the front.
sweet_candy_ 17
Wait never mind ignore this comment

Haha agreed, kids under 12 shouldn't sit in the front seat

In some places there are rules for this. In Australia, there are restrictions on children under the age of seven being in a front passenger seat.
FreakoHolm 6
They should either be so young they could sit in backwards baby seats, or too old to something that stupid
Zebidee 9
The problem with backwards baby seats in the front is if the airbags go off, it can hit the seat and kill the kid. The Australian rule is kids under 4 can't be in the front if the car has back seats, and 4-7 can't be in the front if there are any back seats without kids under 7 already in them. They all have to use capsules, baby seats or boosters depending on their age.

What the hell were you doing that you couldn't see someone change the gears? YDI.

um... maybe it was an automatic?
ImaginaryFoe 1
Even so. Gear shifts are placed where the driver can easily get to them. My truck (manual) and car (automatic) had them in the same place. I can't imagine anyone could move them without the driver's notice unless that driver was completely absorbed in something else. OP, YDI.

ad when u change gears on an automatic u can feel the car jolt
ndvorsky 4
if you are looking strait forward you cannot see the gear shift stick on a manual transmission
WinMan 7
I did that once. your son is awesome.

Retard, do you realize you could make your dad lose his license and the ability to drive you home from the Toy store?
Alienkiller 0

You need to do something about this otherwise I can see it happening again. I would never let him sit in the front from now...

How bout you silentl change it into first

if your son is too young to understand why he shouldn't do that then he's too young to be sitting in the front seat. ydi

I totally agree.

Well if he was in the back seat, OP is stupid for not making sure his idiot kid is buckled and sitting properly.
turtle_brigade 0
Maybe she was too busy focusing on not getting in to an accident while in a traffic jam, and the kid unhooked his seat belt? Or maybe he was sitting in the front and just wanted to be an asshole? Kids like to be assholes sometimes, no matter how well you raise them.

You have got to be one of the dumbest comments I've seen. Legit, you can change gears quick if it's a short throw and the driver not even know. Granted that the OP shoulda checked they were in 1st before setting off, still... an if the son was leaning from the backseat, he obviously knew what he was doing and was old enough to know what'd happen. You fail, not OP.

My thoughts exactly

omg comments are now sentient? " you have got to be one of the dumbest comments I've seen..."
