Today, my little sister came to me crying about how everyone calls her a bad driver. I gave her a pep talk, an encouraging hug, and told her not to listen to negativity. Five minutes later she wrecked my car. FML

giving her a driving lesson probably would have been a better choice

You learned a very valuable lesson: NEVER try to convince bad drivers that they are anything but. It gives them false security and makes them drive even worse, thinking they aren't as bad as they are. Your sister is proof of that. But I swear if I see one "women drivers" comment, I will blow a gasket.

Op. Just because someone is crying does not mean that is a bad thing. Young people (and old as well) need to learn that not everyone is going to be sweet and understanding. Sometimes people are going to call it like it is. Your sister needed you, not to encourage her to keep doing the same behavior and not learn, but to tell her that being a bad driver does not mean she sucks as a person but that (like everyone else) she needs to stop taking the easy way. You should have not let her drive after that and offered to take her to a parking lot and teach her to drive better.

Sometimes people aren't just being mean, they're telling the truth.

At least she was right about something.

Bad drivers should know they ******* cannot drive or even park and park legally. WTF?

My ex messed up the right side of my car while pulling into the garage. Lessened learned don't let anyone else drive my car.

I guess the pep talk didn't work.

You know what they say, "Women drivers, no survivors!" totally and absolutely joking, however I've heard my father tell my mother that on occasion lol. Now Michigan and Texas drivers, they are all sorts of crazy on the road...

I would never let my sister drive my car without me being in it to know how she drives to begin with....both an FML & a YDI!

It irks me how people confuse criticism with negativity. When anyone tells them about the things they're doing wrong, they take offence, they claim that "their feelings are hurt", and they ignore their own problems completely. Instead of figuring things out, accepting the sad truth, taking responsibility and doing something to solve their own problems.

You completely deserve this. If someone is calling another person a bad driver then the chance of them being one is extremely high. You should have never given her your car keys, especially if you weren't in the car with her.
