Today, I got rear-ended at a stoplight by a woman who had been doing her make-up while driving. She didn't get out to see if I was okay until she had finished perfectly applying both lipliner and gloss. 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, I was stopped in traffic when a woman rear-ended me, backed up, and sped off along the shoulder, taking my passenger side mirror with her. FML

Today, while driving through town, I was distracted by a pretty girl walking on the nearby pavement and accidentally rear-ended the car in front of me. Not only did the pretty girl witness the crash and give a statement, it turned out she was a very feminine man. FML

Today, I was in a car accident. After screaming at the woman for running into me, I got in my car and drove off. As I was driving away, I was staring her down when I ended up rear-ending the person in front of me. FML

Today, I was hit by a car speeding through an intersection after the light had already turned red. Still partly blacked out, I crawled onto the sidewalk and I sat down. The woman rolled down her car window and yelled, "Watch where you're going!" as she drove by. FML

Today, I got rear-ended. An old woman got out and came over to my car window. I thought she was coming to apologize and trade insurance companies. Instead, she poured her soda on my head, ran back into her car, and drove away. FML

Today, I was driving home from work and noticed the car behind me was tailgating me pretty badly. I was starting to get angry with the driver, and kept glancing in my rear view mirror at him. While I was doing so, the traffic ahead of me stopped, and I rear-ended the car in front of me. FML

Today, I popped a pimple while stopped at a red light. When I looked over the woman in the car next to me was laughing, and had her camera phone out. FML

Today, I was driving to work and stopped at a stop light. A full 2 or 3 seconds passed, followed by a car rear-ending me. The idiot driving it got out and gave me hell, calling me a maniac because I braked "too quickly" and didn't give him a chance to react. FML

Classic scam

Today, I was driving when a woman started crossing the street against the light at the upcoming intersection, so I slammed on the brakes and stopped short of hitting her. That's when she intentionally jumped onto my car and started screaming that I had "mowed her down". The cops believed her. FML

At least there'll be no doubt about who's fault this was. Also, seriously, lipliner? Christ. #1, **** off.

I'm with number 2. The downside, she doesn't seem to care about your well being. The upside, should it go to court I see a nice settlement in your future.

women suck at driving in general, and by the sound of it this woman is also an airheaded bimbo

I may be stretching the facts. But the reality is, women are BETTER drivers. Although we do suck at parking, which has also been proven. But yeah, sorry to burst your bubble guys, but your low attention span causes you to be terrible drivers. Get your facts straight.

If you've ever been to a big city in China, you will learn to redefine "bad driving." In some areas, lane markers are just a suggestion. However, they are very good at not hitting each other, or pedestrians as they cross the street through busy traffic. So I guess in that respect they're good?

I can understand a woman doing her make-up in the car. I did that just yesterday. But, yeah that was pretty stupid of her to be paying more attention to her face than the road. Ladies, (and some men) if your going to do your make-up in the car, BE CAREFUL and PAY ATTENTION. And for all the people saying women suck at driving? Oh please. I've seen guys shaving their faces in the car. Just the same as putting on make-up. At least the OP had a chance at getting a new bumper, and didn't have to look at an ugly woman lol

Someone is a bit self-absorbed. But yeah, like someone else said, the police will know whose fault it was. The idiot trying to apply make-up while driving.

I also agree with number 11, she probably didn't think she hit you that hard. Plus, maybe she doesn't have a lot of confidence and putting on the rest of her make-up would make her feel better. I do hope your okay though. (even though you were only rear-ended)

ok how can you possibly vote YDI on this one. Do people just like spend their time voting YDI on every single anecdote? Thats really, really sad...

c_a_s_s_i_e: Unfortunately people feel the need to vote YDI on basically everything. Even if the anecdote has absolutely NO WAY that it could be the OP's fault. I guess some people were just worn to be jerks.
