Today, my dad took my phone away because I "had to be texting while driving in order to wreck my car." I was too ashamed to tell him that a huge bug flew into my face causing me to veer off the road and into a brick mailbox. FML

There was really nothing to be ashamed about OP, we all make mistakes and you should be honest about it:).

I'd rather say that than give in to stereotypes

Lots of guys have wrecked on motorcycles because of a wasp in the helmet. No shame in that. Just make sure to tell him it was a big angry bug with a stinger the size of an ink pen.

I had the top off of my jeep and a tree frog fell on my face and I hit mailbox?? I feel your pain

Tell him. Being distracted by a bug is certainly better than being distracted by texting.

At least you prize your dignity over your phone.

The truth is not more embarassing than what he believes. And at least, in reality, it is not your fault. You should tell him, hoping he believes you now...

Probably by a computer also connected to the internet, just a thought. Phones aren't the only thing that can access fml.

But you still text while driving, don't you?

I fell asleep and smashed my truck into a guard rail and my parents, to this day (this happened like 3 years ago), still insist that I was texting and driving since "there's just no way a 18 year old girl fell asleep in the middle of a construction zone"

Either way, sounds like you need some type of intervention. Driving a car is not flying a kite, you can't just have a little conniption over bugs / dirt / totes gross at your convenience and let go. You're going to kill someone. YDI.

I think your dad has a bug up his ass.
