Today, I narrowly avoided a head-on collision in the parking garage. The other driver cussed me out. It's a one-way route through the parking garage, and I was going the right way. FML

Today, I was pulling into a parking garage space and using the next car over to judge where the wall was in front of me, but ended up whumping my front bumper as I pulled forward. Wondering what had happened, I got out to see that the car I was aligning myself against had hit the wall too. FML

Today, I was driving around a parking lot, looking for an empty spot. Someone was backing out a bit too quickly as I was about to pass by, so I honked to announce myself. The driver instead panicked and reversed into my front bumper. FML

Today, I got to my underground parking garage at work and saw my boss pulling into a spot. I thought I would show him my reverse parking skills and decided to park beside him. As I was pulling in he opened his door to get out and I smashed into it, nearly running him over. FML

Today, I tried to back out of a spot in a parking garage. I did a 12 point turn, hit the car behind me and still didn't manage to get out of the spot. Everyone was staring at me, and the attendant had to come over and move my car for me. I have to park there every day. FML

Today, I decided to be a good driver and not run through the yellow light. As soon as I stopped my car another came and rear-ended me. The guy told me to go in the parking lot so we can exchange information. So I drove into the parking lot, I turned my head and watched him drive away. FML

Bystander

By Chops - This FML is from back in 2009 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, I was walking from my office to the place I had parked my car, a distance of approximately three blocks. As I was about to round the last corner, I was forced to dive out of the way of a speeding car. When I looked up, I noticed that it was my car. FML

Today, I was driving in stop and go traffic and passed two accidents in the process. I got nervous and decided to change routes to avoid getting hit. As I was trying to find an alternative route on my GPS, I rear-ended the car in front of me. FML

Today, while driving, I got a call on my cell phone. Trying to be safe and avoid an accident, I pulled into the nearest parking lot before answering. While I was turning in to park, someone rear-ended me. FML

Today, I was leaving Wal-Mart with my daughter when a man was speeding the wrong way in the parking lot. To avoid getting hit, I pulled over to the side. He thought I was going the wrong way. He got out cursing and screaming and punched a dent in my hood. FML

In those situations the driver is often a little mentally unhinged so you're best off just not reacting and getting out of there... Yelling back at people like that could make them completely explode on you and may they may be dangerous.

YDI for eating the last piece of pie in the tray when your great grandfather needed it to live.

Better to just ignore him and lie saying you're sorry when you know you had the right way.

How about no? OP shouldn't apologize for someone else's stupidity

Ignore AND apologize? Seems that won't quite work out.

Yeah I know people don't want to do it especially when you are not in error, but sometimes you got to swallow your pride and continue moving.

Doesnt mean you apologize to someone for a mistake they made. You can walk away, fine, but dont apologize, thats ridiculous.

Happens to me more often than it should. Welcome to driving on the Las Vegas strip. Tourists don't know where the **** they're going and don't pay attention to signs. I'm a casino employee, without tourists i wouldnt have a job, but man, people are ******* dumb sometimes. No wonder most locals hate tourists.
