Today, I was painting the garage door. After 3 hours, I finally finished the job. As I was walking back inside, accidentally pressed the button that opens and closes the garage door. Not only did the paint job get messed up as it went up, the paint also dripped onto my parents brand new car. FML

Today, my husband has been painting our house all weekend and plans to finish the job after work today. I decided to surprise him by completing the job myself. Painting the last window frame, I dropped the open tin of white paint, right onto our car roof. FML

Today, after double-checking to make sure the garage door was completely open, I backed my car into it. FML

This is going to be my fault, isn't it?

Today, my mom had been in a really bad mood. She got in the car to take me to work, and without thinking, started backing up. The garage door was only half open, and now has a huge dent in it. FML

Today, I backed into our new garage door. The same new garage door that we purchased because I broke our old one by backing into it. FML

Remodeling

Today, I finished painting my living room. I had to leave the house in a rush. When I got home, I found smears of paint all around and the carpet crusted with paint that had dried. My cat had rubbed up against the walls and tracked it around. FML

Get bent

Today, my old ass garage door got bent while I was trying to close it. I broke nearly all of my fingernails trying to force it back into place. Time to get a new garage door. FML

Steady on

Today, I found out the hard way that you shouldn't try to open a can of paint with a screwdriver. The lid flew off, and my kitchen floor now looks like an abstract art painting, which I could probably call, "Various blue splodges on wood canvas." FML

Today, I was painting my mom's house, which so far had taken 12 hours over two days. All of a sudden there was a wind storm. All of the leaves stuck to the wet paint. FML

Today, I was painting my room. I told my mom not to open the door because I was on a ladder just behind it, with a paint can perched atop. She barged in to ask me what I'd said. FML

Today, while parking, I accidentally hit my landlord's daughter's brand new car. I made a huge dent in the side door. I thought nobody was home, so I quickly went to my room. Turns out they were having a barbecue outside and saw the whole thing. FML

You're not even supposed to paint garage doors, right? Mine's got a sticker on it that says not to paint it. Also, if your paint was on thick enough to drip, it would have streaked and messed up anyway... wouldn't it?

Sounds like you stood out in the sun too long, or didn't use enough ventilation. Next time, don't let yourself get that exhausted/loopy.

How do you "accidentally" press a button? It should be right next to the door and the smell of paint plus the 3 hours you worked should have told you to not push the button.

That sucks! I have accidentally hit that button before on my garage and it is just annoying

I've never done this before but I'm calling fake. Unless I missed something you said the paint dripped onto the car for that to happen, wouldn;t the car have to be very close or directly underneath the door? so why and how would you able to paint the door with the car underneat the door and is this an american garage door or an english one? because I'm referencing to an english one and i don't know if they go up differently.
