Money, Cars and Transportation: Charity

Charity

Today, I worked a carwash as a fundraiser. Being nice, I figured I'd bring my car, get it washed, and donate some money. When it was my car's turn to be washed, everyone was conveniently busy washing other cars. My car was in front and needed to be washed and moved. I paid $10 to wash my own car. FML

Today, I was washing my car, and I decided to be kind and to wash my elderly neighbor's car. As it turns out, her sunroof was open. FML

Today, I noticed that someone smeared "wash me" into the grime of my car. I decided to take it to get a wash. I pulled up, put my vehicle in neutral, and kicked back as it slowly started to move. You never realize how long it takes a sun roof to close until water is dumping on your head. FML

Cars and cards

Today, I took my car through the automated wash. I was too close to swipe my card, so the attendant reached for it and somewhere between our hands, the card fell into the grate and down a small crack 10ft into nasty water. The whole car wash was shut down to pull the massive grate up. It took about 2 hours. FML

Today, at work, my boss made me go outside and wash people's cars for free. I work at Verizon. FML

Today, I took a trip to Wal-Mart. There's a car wash that they conveniently built right outside of this Wal-Mart. So as I was leaving, I decided to make use of this car wash, not even thinking about the $200 worth of groceries I had just purchased. I drive a pick-up truck. FML

Today, I wanted to give my car a quick wash, to get the salt and road grime off. My girlfriend lodged herself up my ass and decided that we should deep-clean all four of our cars, then screamed at me when I didn't show enough enthusiasm. FML

Today, my little cousin was helping me wash my car. After scrubbing all the dirt, I gave him the hose and said, "Okay, now rinse off this disgusting thing." He turned the hose on me. FML

Today, I went to the mall with a couple of friends. While walking through the parking lot, we saw a very dirty car. You couldn't even see the inside of the car through the windows. I thought it would be funny to trace on the window, "Wash Me." After doing so, the driver got out of the car. FML

Saved!

Today, in order to save money, instead of going to the car wash, I decided to wash my car at home. While sponging the roof, I slipped on the soapy driveway and ended up sliding under the car, getting soaked and covered in suds. My neighbor saw the whole thing and couldn't stop laughing. FML

Today, I went to get my car washed at one of those places where you can watch through the glass. I watched in horror, face pressed against the glass, as my car went through with the window down. FML

It's for charity so it didn't all go to waste. Washing your car really isn't that bad either.

#45, the OP didn't HAVE to pay. Actually, that was pretty nice of you to pay anyway despite getting no service. I probably would have not paid, or waited, or left.

I don't really understand. So you work at the car wash for a fundraiser. You bring your car in so you can get someone else to wash it for you. When did you decide it would be "nice of you" to bring in your car to have some else work on it and you'd pay a little bit. Being nice = paying with out service, I would think. You wanted to pay less than 10 bucks? Or to watch someone else wash your car? Either way, I think it's a YDI for complaining about working at a fundraiser.

Hmmm....isn't that what you do when you go to a self-serve carwash? You PAY to wash your OWN car? Yeah...def not a FML.

I get it, sometimes an FML is those little things that are just a bit off, not mind bending, not Jerry Springer worthy, just that one thing that sucks. And its nice to see an FML that doesnt involve "my bf/gf broke up with me for their bff/md/etc. because I farted in my sleep/killed their cat/eat my boogers.

HOW is this an FML?? So you washed your own car. Big deal. At least the money was going to a good cause, one that you obviously care about otherwise you wouldn't have gone to the carwash in the first place.

Usually fundraiser would indicate some sort of charity. Even if the principal did need a boob job, power to her for screwing you all over. But either way, not really an FML.
