Miscellaneous: Today, in a rush to squeeze out of a particularly tight parking...

Today, in a rush to squeeze out of a particularly tight parking spot, I made a hurried 12-point turn. Just to make sure I had enough room behind, I hopped out of my car. It was still in reverse. I managed to wreck my own car without even sitting in it. FML

Today, I tried to back out of a spot in a parking garage. I did a 12 point turn, hit the car behind me and still didn't manage to get out of the spot. Everyone was staring at me, and the attendant had to come over and move my car for me. I have to park there every day. FML

Today, I had to jump into my car while it was still moving. Apparently, just because you put it in park and turn it off, doesn't mean it won't take off towards a ditch without warning. FML

Today, I was driving around a parking lot, looking for an empty spot. Someone was backing out a bit too quickly as I was about to pass by, so I honked to announce myself. The driver instead panicked and reversed into my front bumper. FML

Chasing cars

Today, I tried to parallel park my car in a tight spot. After several failed attempts, I finally parked, but then realized I had parked on a slight incline. My car started rolling backwards. I had to chase it down the street in my pajamas. FML

Today, I tried to back my car into my parking space while some of my neighbors were out by their cars. I accidentally rammed into the retaining wall behind my spot. I was hoping the neighbors didn't notice the huge crunching sound, but they did. FML

Today, while arguing with my boyfriend about how I wasn't a bad driver and could parallel park, I thought it would be easier to just let him do it. Unfortunately, while getting out of the car to switch seats, I forgot to take the car out of drive and it ran into the car in front of us. He was right. FML

Today, I noticed I parked behind a boy I like. Trying to impress him with my driving skills, I ended up forgetting to put the car in reverse and rear-ended him. FML

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

Today, I backed my car into a parked car in a parking lot. Not only did I back into a parked car, but it was the ONLY parked car there. FML

Karma?

Today, the day after I bragged about never having a car accident in my life, I mistakenly put my car into Drive instead of Reverse and crashed into my own house. FML

The worst thing is that you wrecked the car behind you and you will have to pay for his damaged car too.

43: I'm guessing you're as confused as I am wtf a 12-point turn is supposed to be, other than shitty driving? Did the OP mean 3-point turn?

That is why you must not rush when it comes to vehicles. YDI the consequences.

First of all, I can parallel park a semi (with trailer) in less than 12 points. Now that the bragging portion is done... What was so important to get to that you don't have time to take your car out of gear before getting out?

Do you wreck shit on a daily basis because forgetting your car is in reverse and getting out is pretty... Well let's just say straight screwed up. For most people it's second nature to put a vehicle in park or lock the E-brakes but you my friend, have completely failed.
