Work: Today, I was called up about a job I'd recently applied for....

Today, I was called up about a job I'd recently applied for. I was overly excited to tell them I'd be there on Monday. Then I remembered I canceled my car insurance due to financial difficulties. I have no way of getting there. FML

Today, I got a call from a job I had applied for. Everything went great until I realized I had applied to the wrong location, across town. I'm so broke, I went to the interview anyway. It will cost me more to pay for the gas to drive there to work, than what I will actually make. FML

Today, I found out that my insurance canceled my contract, claiming I hadn't paid, even though I had. I only discovered this because I backed into a car. FML

Baby you can drive my uninsured car

Today, a week after I lost my job, my car was written off by someone rear-ending me, and both parties weren't insured. I tried to look for a new job, but all of them require that you have a vehicle. FML

Today, I had a job interview. I got there as quick as I could, having to travel two hours into a city I'd never been to. When I arrived, they told me I was turned down for being too late. They'd rescheduled the interview an hour earlier and I wasn't notified of the change. FML

Today, I was supposed to start my first day of work at my dream job. However, my car had other plans and refused to start. When I called my boss to tell him I was going to be late, he told me not to come in at all and fired me on the spot. FML

Today, I went to my insurance company to deal with some paperwork. One of their employees backed into my car before I made it into the building. FML

Today, I had my very first interview and pretty much got hired right away. Then I found out I have to drive 2 hours away for training. I don't have a car, license, or money. FML

Today, I got a callback for a job, asking for an interview. I got very excited but also anxious because it's my first job after graduating from uni. While I was on call scheduling the interview, I realised I'd accidentally applied to the Royal Post to be a mailman. Now I have to call again and explain. FML

Spiralling out of control

Today, I was told a job offer that would've changed my life had been taken back, due to one part in the onboarding process. I’ve already sold my car, ended the lease to my apartment, and purchased a non refundable plane ticket. With little to no money and the Christmas break coming soon, I feel like I’m going to die with no backup plan. FML

Today, my hours got cut because I couldn't make it into work when they called me in. Why couldn't I make it in? I was in an interview for a better job. I didn't get the job. FML

You obviously have a phone. Here's a novel idea - why don't you call someone? Taxi, friend, parent, coworker, acquaintance... Then there's bus, bike, train, your feet, borrowing an insured vehicle, and renting an insured vehicle. Unless you live in that mythical town where grandparents had to walk to school uphill both ways in the snow with no shoes every single day of the year, I'm not seeing a problem.

^ this. I know it's hard sometimes to get addiquate public transport at the best of times, but it's at least worth looking into. Even if you work nights, there might be some night bus, or if your low on cash, just get a taxi to drive you part way, to the closest bus stop and ride a bike/walk/bus rest of way. Call a friend to drive you? Hire a car for a day? OR just drive without insurance...

OP you canceled your car insurance, you didn't get rid if your car. Just drive it without insurance until you have enough money to pay it again

taxi, walk, bus, lift from family/friends or how about this new genius idea I had, a combination of the above. this isn't a fml, it's an "I'm too stupid to think of alternative travel methods".
