Today, I was driving at night and saw a small animal run across the road. I slammed on my brakes and got rear-ended. The animal turned out to be a plastic grocery bag. FML

Today, I crashed my car. I saw a deer getting ready to run into the middle of the road, and I was very sleepy, so I panicked and slammed on the brakes, causing me to lose control of the car on the wet road. After I hit a tree, I realized that the deer was a plastic lawn ornament. FML

Panic

Today, it was my first day at a new school. I pulled into the parking lot and saw this really cute guy. I was checking him out in my rear view mirror. When I looked ahead, there was something in the road, so I swirved real hard and took down an entire wooden fence. That something was a plastic bag. FML

Gunged

Today, on my way home, a truck driver was speeding next to me and as he passed I saw his truck was the kind that takes livestock to be butchered. I was thinking that I didn’t look to see if there were animals in there. Suddenly, brown items hit my windshield. Yes, it didn’t "hit the fan," it hit my car. FML

Today, I got rear-ended on my way home from the pet store, causing my pet food to open up and go flying all over the floor of my car. My pet is a snake, and his food is live mice. FML

Today, while driving home I saw a few deer running beside me. I stopped to let them go in front. Instead, one face-plants, ramming into the side of my new car. FML

Today, my eyesight is getting terrible. I saw a white cat in front of my house, so I went up to it. To my delight it didn’t move, so I bent down to stroke it. Wrong call, it was a plastic bag. FML

Save the doggo

Today, I was driving down the road when a dog suddenly ran across the street. In attempt to spare its life, I swerved to the side of the road and rear-ended another car. The car I hit belonged the family who owned the dog. Now I have to pay them because I saved their dog's life. FML

Today, while driving my new car, a squirrel ran in front of me so I slammed on my brakes. The person behind me didn't notice and rear-ended me. The squirrel got hit by a car going the opposite direction. FML

Today, I was walking out of the grocery store when out of nowhere, a car backing up pretty fast sped down the parking lot and hit me, causing me to fall down and drop all of my groceries. The woman jumped out of her car, not to help me, but to carefully check her bumper for scratches. FML

Today, I saw a poor helpless cat in the middle of the road while driving. I pulled over and scooped it in my arms to bring it to safety. Not only did I get mauled and scratched by the cat, my car also wasn't put in park and rolled away hitting a parked car. FML

If you come across an animal blocking your path on the road, then just run it over, that is what they tell you to do on your driving test. Unless it's a horse >.<

If you mistaken a bag for an animal, then you cannot have the attentiveness be a safe driver. No sympathy, and gtfo the road.

#3, the internet has spoken, go take 10 laps around the pitch and think about yourself.

Gotta watch out for those wild shopping bags. They have habitats everywhere. Save the shopping bags!

Animals aren't capable of cognitive thought and reason like we humans are. There is a reason they are on this earth and it is for our consumption. Now, as Melancholy said.. don't just go out and kill a bunch of animals for no reason, but the skill set, talents, and worth of life are far greater in a human who may the one who will do something later in life that will be great. That small chance > Value of 1 squirrel.

i'm sorry but you kind of deserved it. What did you expect, the people behind you to see the "animal" too? Probably not. Oh and to that person who said they would rather a human get hurt...that is really F***ED UP you are a horrible person. You would rather save a squirrel than a human being? What kind of horrible person are you? You disgust me, and I hope you try to "avoid" an animal and see what happens to you.

You ******* idiot. This applies to both the OP and upandb. For the op, don't ******* brake, you stupid piece of shit. I HATE when people do this, or swerve, or whatever. It's a ******* animal. For upandb, stop being such a stupid pussy. There are tons of people, it doesn't matter.

"Whenever you get rear-ended, just about no matter what the circumstances are, it's the rear-ending driver's fault." good point, #9! Next time, though, if you think you see a small animal crossing the road, keep going, because braking for the critter could put other lives at risk- including yours.

Why the hell would you stop for a SMALL animal, anyway? Seriously. Would you rather end up in a river/around a tree or make roadkill? Ffs

#9 That's false. I was involved in a rear-end accident, I was the read-ending guy. Fault belonged to the guy ahead of me. Why? We were at a full stop and he floored it in reverse.

That is funny as hell. Its f**ked up when it happens. My husband had that happen to him. Some little old lady was in front of him. When the light went green she slammed into him, turned around and looked right at him, and then took off lol

According to my mother, who teaches drivers ed, you weren't technically rear-ended. They backed into you. However, had you driven forward into the person, it would've been your fault because it would've been you hitting them. Nine is right; if you're rear-ended, it it always the rear-ender's fault.
