Today, I got screamed at, threatened, cursed, and spat on by an elderly couple for "running them off the road". I was driving an ambulance, lights and sirens on, with a 4 year old in the back who couldn't breathe. They were going 20 in a 50mph zone for 2 miles straight. FML

Today, I got screamed and honked at by a driver who felt I was in the way of his turn. I was on foot, and on the sidewalk. FML

Today, some aggressive asshole was tailgating me on my way home, bumping into me twice. I got scared and kicked my car into high gear and got out of there. Seconds later, a traffic cop came out of nowhere and pulled me over for speeding. FML

Today, I was driving my grandpa to the store because his car is in the shop. I was well within the speed limit, but he kept yelling at me for "speeding", then accused me of trying to give him a heart attack, and eventually pulled the e-brake, getting us rear-ended. He refuses to apologise. FML

Today, my neighbor yelled at me for driving recklessly. I was going 35 mph, and she was stopped in the middle of a road around a blind curve. My "reckless driving" was slamming on the brakes so I wouldn't hit her. FML

Road rage

By Anonymous - 07/04/2024 00:00 - United States - Fredericksburg

Today, I had a “Fuck you” shouting match with a guy who'd tailgated me in the slow lane through an active school zone. I flipped him off when he finally passed, which admittedly wasn’t my best move. He ended up beside me, windows down, where we verbally sparred like teenagers in a dick swinging contest. Regrettably. FML

Today, a cop almost rear-ended my car, slammed on the gas with no warning, swerved around me, flipped me the bird, then cut me off and then drove a full ten miles under the speed limit. When I changed lanes to overtake him, he pulled me over for road rage. FML

Today, my car broke down at a red light. A man pulled up next to me and yelled at me to get out of the fast lane. I thought he was gonna offer help, as I was a young woman on her own, but he just yelled at me and sped off. FML

Creepypasta time

By Saw - This FML is from back in 2012 but it's good stuff - United Kingdom

Today, I was walking down the street, when a car started cruising alongside me. I looked over, annoyed, at which point the driver started screaming obscenities and telling me that I'm "gonna get it" for "betraying" him, before angrily speeding off. I'm too scared to even sleep now. FML

Today, as I was driving to work, I witnessed a kid apparently getting jumped. Being a good citizen, I got out and started yelling at them. I ended up alongside the kid in the hospital. FML

Today, I was going into a store and saw a woman roughly handling a screaming toddler. I kept walking, until I heard the kid scream, "Help! You’re not my mommy!” I called 911 and stood behind the car to keep her from taking off. The cops arrived to see me fending off blows from a very pissed off grandma. FML

Jeez that's why old people should have to turn in their drivers license in order to obtain a Medicare card or something!

Hope the kid is ok. Oh, and I hope you got the license plate of the couple & turned them into the police for not "yielding the right of way to an emergency vehicle" by pulling off the road for you...also, if they're into road rage and driving below the speed limit then they need their DL's revoked & the car impounded. I hate when incompetent elderly people think that just because they're still breathing that they can still drive.

Retake? Not just retake but also a professional eye exams & a mental exam of their competence is appropriate. I knew a lady who (even though her DR had NOT cleared her to drive after a heart attack) was still able to get her license renewed & then the policeman who pulled her over for running over a median @ 10 PM,called me to come drive her home...she was also TOTALLY night blind & she knew NOT to drive @ night + she had attention issues.

The elderly deserve respect, unless they can't give respect back.

Hope the four year old is okay! Those old people had no right to do that to you!

Yea, but you'd be surprised what you see/hear on the job. I was accused of being a cop by a Marine that had served in Vietnam. I've been called officer a few times, swung at, verbally assaulted...thank god I love my job...

Hopefully when it's one of THEM in the back of the ambulance, they will be held up as well. When you see flashing lights behind, you pull the crap over! Somebody is in dire need of medical attention. Whatever it is you have to do IS NOT more important!
