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

I gave my grandma a lift and she had an 'accident' in the passenger seat. I spent 2 hours cleaning up pee. Sell the car, buy a motorbike. Before it's too late.

Oh wow. That's really awful. My mom tried to do the same thing to me a couple years ago, luckily I stopped her before she actually pulled the E-brake. Hopefully you can talk him into taking responsibility for the damages. That sucks. :( FYL OP

#15 that is just a hateful comment. You too will be old one day, God willing. I'm sure you want to be treated with kindness and respect. Seniors are people with feelings too.

No #17 you're the dumbass. You missed some of the most blatant sarcasm ever. #16 even put a winky face. Please save yourself and say you were being sarcastic also #17. Please I'll believe it just so I don't lose all faith in the use of sarcasm on FML.

To him, you were speeding. There has got to be an "old people rule book" and rule #1 is always at least 15mph under the speed limit.

FYL for having to deal with that and getting rear-ended.. butttt... YDI because if your grandpa was really in that much distress over it, why not just slow down for his sake?

Because driving well below the speed limit is also dangerous, as it can cause other drivers to take unnecessary risks to overtake you.

Then they who are taking "unnecessary risks" to pass are also in the wrong. Only pass when it is safe, if somebody is in such a rush they can't wait for a safe moment to pass then too bad on them.

#19. I agree. Why not go slower if it's making grandpa to panic?

If the car behind him was close enough to rear end him because he stopped then they would have been rear ended if he slowed down

Only if they were too stupid to not pay attention to the car in front of them. It's illegal to tailgate someone so closely that if they had to emergency stop (like a little kid running into the road) that they can't do so as well without hitting them. People where I'm from will "break check" you if you follow too close. Aren't paying attention? Well you just got into an accident and it's YOUR fault for rear-ending them. So.. if you're following so close that them SLOWING DOWN -not stopping- causes you to hit them, get off the road.

No, 47. Brake checking is illegal, and will leave you at fault with a nice fat ticket.

#19 ever think the grandpa just wanted to overreact and wasnt actually in that much distress..? if he was that distressed and caused the accident, he should at least have the decency to apologise.

Yes, lets freak out for no reason at the person who's being nice enough to give me a ride. Why not wreck their car while I'm at it? Hey, maybe they'll never give me a ride again after this. But ya know, still worth it. *logic*

# 19. I agree with you completely. I don't understand why you got any down votes at all.

My mom never learned and she complains any time I drive her anywhere, yet she insists I drive her, I hate it.

Is there no one that will comment on how he misspelled "apologize"

No, because that's the way they spell it in Europe, so it's normal.

I think you and your family should reconsider whether it is safe for him to continue having a car..

My own grandparents would have never acted this way. I guess they don't make them like they used to. :(
