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

Today, my dad took a call while driving. He always yells and curses at people who talk on their cell while driving. I asked him to get off the phone because it's dangerous, and told him he's being a hypocrite. He shook his head at me and continued talking. Seconds later, we got into an accident. FML

Today, a bee flew into my car, I panicked, swerved off the road, and hit a mailbox. It was a metal keg filled with cement buried in the ground. Taking my father's advice, I fled the scene. Later, my mailman knocked on my door holding part of my bumper. He said, "Excuse me, I think you hit my mailbox this morning." FML

Today, a motorist yelled at me for texting and driving. I was too ashamed to admit that I'd been admiring the bogey I'd just picked from my nose. FML

Today, while on the road, my dad called twice before I pulled over and answered the phone. He first got mad at me for not answering, and then again later for "paying attention to my phone" while driving. FML

Today, I was using my dad's cell because I had broken mine. I was texting my boyfriend all day when my dad needed his phone back. I forgot to tell my boyfriend that my dad would be using the phone. My boyfriend then texted graphically what he wanted to do to my dad. FML

Today, I left my phone on the roof of my car after pumping gas. I drove off, and it wasn't until I heard a thud that I realized what had happened. Now my phone has a gash in the screen, and it's receiving angry texts from my girlfriend that I can't answer. FML

Today, I was driving home and got a phone call from my mom. She called to tell me that there was a cop at the bottom of our hill, and to be careful. I got a ticket for talking on my cell phone while driving. FML

Today, my dad let me use his phone. Five minutes later, he had my mom call it because he thought he'd lost it. FML

Today, I left my phone outside on the grass while I went inside to get a drink. I didn't expect my dad to run over it with the lawn mower. 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.

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

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.
