Today, I almost got hit by a car because the kid in the back who was wearing headphones was paying more attention to the road than the driver. He only just stopped her. FML

Today, trying to be a good role model for the kids behind me, I stopped and thoroughly checked both sides of the road before crossing. I still managed to get hit by a car. FML

Today, when I crossed the street, I almost died because of a careless driver, but when I crossed it again on my way back, I got hit by a bicycle. FML

Today, while I was walking to class, I was hit by a car. The driver stopped to let me cross in front of her, started moving again, hit me, and then yelled at me, saying it was my fault for walking in front of her. FML

Today, while I was driving, a pedestrian gesticulated wildly at me for being on my phone. I was just tucking my hair behind my ear. FML

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, while driving to work in heavy traffic, I got so into the song I was listening to that I tapped my foot on the gas to the beat. I rear-ended the car in front of me. FML

Today, I almost got run over on my bike by a truck who raced through a red light. After narrowly avoiding a collision, the car slowed down. Instead of apologizing for almost killing me, the driver stuck his head out of the window and yelled, "Nice ass!" FML

Today, while driving, a girl on her cellphone cut me off. A second later, another person behind me on a cellphone rear ended me. Her excuse was, "I'm sorry, you weren't there a minute ago!" FML

Today, there was a traffic accident on the highway which I normally take. I couldn't resist laughing at the driver since he was stupid enough to rear-end someone on the highway. What I didn't realize is that I forgot to pay attention to the road and rear-ended the car in front of me. FML

Today, I got into a wreck thanks to a big flashing sign on the highway that said, "Keep your eyes on the road" that distracted me. FML

Is it just me or does this make no sense at all?

Okay, so what i believe is going on here is that OP is saying that the kid in the back seat of the car that almost him her/her was paying more attention to the road than the driver of that car. That kid was the one that alerted that driver to stop before they could hit OP's car. but i could be wrong...

I'm not sure why everyone is struggling to understand this; unless I'm just way off. What happened in this FML is: OP was walking, and almost got hit by a car. The driver of said car was not paying attention to the road. There was a passenger in the car, who was paying attention, and told the driver to stop.

If that's the case, what's the FML? Drivers in my city are idiots. People get nearly hit all the time. OP didn't get hurt.

We need a "Could have been worse!" voting option here on FML.

The wording of this is awkward, but more importantly, no one got hurt. All's well that ends well?

Was I the only one who had to read this FML twice to actually understand it?

Hey, OP here. So, a lot of people have said that the grammar isn't all that great. I wrote this very soon after the incident in question happened, and was still a bit frazzled as a result, which is probably why. So, let's clear up exactly what happened. I was crossing the road, and this car comes out of nowhere. The car had a mother and son in it. The mother was paying no attention to the road and continued to speed down it, despite the fact that I was already crossing. Her son, who was in the backseat and wearing headphones, was what stopped the car from killing me. He got her attention and pointed me out. I'm sorry if this didn't make much sense, but I hope this clears it up.
