Today, I was driving on roads that were bad from two days of snow. I spun my car out, and ended up half-way in a ditch. Thinking that I could push my car out of the snow, I got out of my car, landing in waist deep snow. When trying to get back in, I fell neck deep into snow. FML

Today, I got stuck in the snow in the middle of street. As I was just beginning to get myself unstuck, the snow plow came by and buried the front end of my car. FML

Today, my car got stuck in a foot of snow. I tried desperately digging around my wheels to see if it would help. I was finally able to get out 10 minutes later only to realize that I had dropped my phone in the snow while I was digging and had run over it. FML

Today, it snowed a lot and my friends and I went outside for a walk. Someone drove by and threw a snowball at me, hitting me square in the face. Surprised, I side-stepped only to end up losing balance and roll down a hill into a ditch full of prickly bushes. FML

Today, I spent nearly half an hour clearing several inches of snow off my car. After almost suffering from hypothermia, I finished. Except the car keys were missing from my pocket, presumably buried under a foot of snow. FML

Today, I jumped into a pile of snow which had built up against a wall. Turns out it wasn't snow but a pile of cement covered by an inch of snow. I now have a 3 inch cut along my leg and a sprained wrist from falling. FML

Today, as a finisher to a date with my girlfriend we decided to park behind the school and mess around. As we were pulling into a dark shaded spot, she drove straight into a snow bank. We spent the rest of our time together trying to dig the car out. FML

Today, as I was walking home, I felt my feet slip out from under me and I face-planted in the slushy, dirty, melting snow. I rolled over, completely soaked, and attempted to get up, thinking no one saw me. A mail-man then passed me without offering to help, and said, "I've seen worse." FML

Today, I lost control of my car on a patch of ice and slid off the road, messing up my car. I was working on a news story about bad road conditions. FML

Today, I was driving slightly off road for work to clean a well. I didn't want to get my boots muddy by walking the last 20 ft through mud, so I tried to drive through. I spent the next four hours on hands and knees digging my way out. FML

If you don't live where it snows, roads being bad after two days of bad weather will make no sense to you. Snow plows can only do so much. The roads are still left with a bit of ice and snow on them and it doesn't melt until it stops snowing and the sun comes out. Even with salt and sand down, roads can be trecherous. I live in CT where we have efficient plow crews, and I am still very cautious when driving for a few days after a blizzard. FYL OP. But the mental image is kind of funny :-)

Haha, wow, people on here with driving comments are funny - you either obviously don't drive or don't live where there are bad snow storms. Personally I live in Minnesota and know that even the most experienced drivers get into accidents on slippery roads after snow storms (yes, even if the snow plows have gone through, because they don't get everything). And even those with the big "heavy duty" vehicles get into those same accidents too, life happens. I clicked YDI only because it was stupid to think you could solely push you car halfway out of a ditch full of snow.

There is one part of this FML that bothers me and makes me think it's fake, how is it that a heavy car didn't sink deep enough for the OP to realize that they could end up neck deep in the snow? That is one hell of a coincidence, there would have to be a pretty deep narrow ditch for the OP to end up in something that deep without the car ending up in it as well. Anyone who made any of the following types of comments is an idiot: 1. There shouldn't be much snow after only two days of snowing. 2. Only people who can't drive end up in ditches. 3. The roads should be fine after two days. 4. You have the wrong kind of vehicle to drive in the snow. I live in Nebraska, it snowed for about 6 hours here and we ended up with a snow emergency and over a foot of snow. Many places in the city had drifts that were taller than the average person. Anyone can end up in an accident when driving in snow, even good drivers can't know that there is black ice until they are on it. In most cases that is a little to late to do anything. It can take a week or longer for all of the roads to be cleared properly by snow crews (depending upon the amount of snow), and even once they are cleared they are still dangerous and slippery. Also while four wheel drive is ideal it is not the only way to travel in snow. Anyone who knows how to handle their car can get around in bad weather, yes there is a higher risk depending upon the type of vehicle you drive but the main difference is HOW you drive. I have a light weight car with front wheel drive, I have yet to be in any kind of accident or get stuck in the snow. However I've watched many people with four wheel drive make idiots of themselves when they flip their vehicle, roll their vehicle, hit other vehicles or end up in ditches because they thought that they could drive however they wanted.

Don't worry, when you start driving you will learn that the maniacs live on this side of the river as well. I am shocked at the way some people drive, especially in the snow. I've seen so many cars in the last week just run red lights because it was snowing and they had waited for all of 15 seconds for the light to change. Apparently even semi-bad weather is an excuse to ignore all traffic laws. Not to mention the number of people I've watched fish tail when taking corners, not signaling a turn and ending up getting rear ended because people behind them could not come to a fast stop... the list goes on and on.
