Health, Transportation, Cars and Painful: All in the hood

All in the hood

By FoundMyLighter - 21/11/2009 01:28 - United States

Today, my jeep wouldn't start so I opened the hood. I slammed my fingers in my jeep's hood. It latched shut. My hood release was inside the cab, and the jeep was in neutral and on an incline. It started to roll, towards a ditch about 5 yards away. I had to skin my own fingers to get them out. FML

Today, I couldn't get my car hood to open to check the fluids. A few miles down the highway, though, it popped right open. FML

Today, I shut my finger in the car door. The door locked. Then I dropped the keys on the ground and couldn't reach them. FML

Today, as I was closing my car door, I realized I had left the keys in the ignition. Not wanting to lock myself out, I reached to stop the door from closing. Not only did I scream when the door slammed on my hand, but in my furious pain, I leaned on the door, locking my keys inside. FML

Today, I had to jump into my car while it was still moving. Apparently, just because you put it in park and turn it off, doesn't mean it won't take off towards a ditch without warning. FML

Dangling

Today, I was cleaning my car when I hit the automatic window button while I was vacuuming in between the door and the driver's seat, and got stuck halfway out, in full view of my neighbor. He had to come get me out, because I couldn't reach the button. FML

Brain fart

Today, I couldn't open my car door from the inside. I rang my father-in-law in a panic and he opened it from the outside for me. Then he asked why I just didn't roll down the window and do it myself. FML

Today, I rolled down the windows in my car. When I tried to roll up the passenger side window, it was stuck. Rain was coming so I freaked out and brought it to the dealership to get it fixed. The man pushed the child safety lock button and the entire garage erupted in laughter. FML

Raincheck

Today, I locked myself out of my truck for the first time. While trying to unlock it, it started to rain. After half an hour, I successfully unlocked the door and then drove over my bookbag, which I had placed underneath the truck to keep it out of the rain. FML

Help me, doofus!

Today, I locked my car. I put the key in my bag when suddenly my car began to roll backwards. I tried to get the key out of my bag but couldn't find it, and with the other hand I tried to stop the car. The worst thing was that some dumbass was watching me and didn't help. FML

Today, I got into my car and it wouldn't start. I noticed I had left the lights on and assumed the battery was dead. Then, I couldn't get my key out of the ignition. So, I called AAA only to have the guy put my car in park and start the engine. FML

I think your problem may have been slamming your fingers in the hood. That's not a very good strategy when it comes to fixing vehicles.

wow you're dumb. Its just good policy to never get out of your car unless you put the parking brake on and/or put the car in park. and it's really not that hard to avoid slamming your fingers.

its a jigsaw trap. skin your fingers, or have them ripped off. make your choice.

Why would you leave your car in NEUTRAL when your opening the hood. Even if your fingers weren't stuck in the hood it could still roll away and then your FML would say Today, my car rolled away. If you have a stick shift then you can put on the parking break. This could've been so easily avoidable. It's your own fault.

This is so obviously fake, it's simply too perfect. I mean, even I can distinguish between Happy Tree Friends and reality.

well since you just say "jeep" I assume you are talking about a wrangler. if it is a wrangler then it is impossible for it to latch shut because they don't have latches they have clips.. also if it wouldn't start that means you left it for some period of time which means it would have rolled way before you came back... FAKE! YDI! do some research before you lie....

stang...some jeeps have latches and clips. i know mine does. but, there's no hood release handle on the inside of any that i've ever came across.

You, sir (Ma'am) are retarded. First of all, I HIGHLY doubt that this car is a manual, so there is ABSOLUTELY no reason for you to have had it in neutral. Second, in most cars, to even shift INTO a new gear, you need to have the car ON. If it was not on, how did you get it into neutral. Thirdly, the car would have been rolling to begin with, so do some research and come up with a better story, dipshit.

Not necessarily. You can change gears in manual cars even when they are off, and without the key : you just need to press the clutch as you would if you were driving.

Actually you don't need to press the clutch at all...

so theres an incline..your not in the car...so put in neutral instead of park? YEAH

that does really suck. but you should never leave a vehicle in neutral on an incline, and in the event you did this in order to check your ATF fluid, ALWAYS set your emergency brake. and btw. you can't accurately check oil or ATF fluid on an incline. and also, put your fingers on top of the hood when closing it... i hope you learned that one. lol sorry about your luck.

midnight rain is exactly right, with a jeep, it is very likely for it to be a manual. and something he didn't mention is, there is a reason he would have needed it in neutral. If it is an automatic, you have to have it in neutral to check the ATF fluid.
