Today, my tire blew while I was on the freeway. I had to change the tire in pouring rain while wearing short shorts and flip-flops. No one stopped to help, but several people politely honked as if to remind me of my misfortune. FML

Today, while riding my bike in the rain to a counselling appointment about my depression, my shoelace came untied and got caught around my pedal, causing me to go flying off my bike directly in a huge muddy puddle right in front of a busy street of people. No one offered to help me. FML

Today, I saw a car on the side on the highway with a popped tire. The driver didn't have a spare, so I nicely gave them mine. One hour later my tire popped. FML

Spare

Today, one of my tires blew out on the highway. I managed to slow down and pull over without dying, and went to get my spare tire. I found it right where it was supposed to be, knifed to hell and with a taunting note from my psycho ex taped to it. We broke up nearly 3 years ago. FML

Today, after rolling my car on the highway, I witnessed several people stop and get out of their cars to take pictures. No one asked if I was okay, and I was the one who had to call 911 for myself. FML

Road to nowhere

Today, I was driving to an important job interview, and I was running late. Just as I was about to get on the highway, I saw my ex standing by the road with a flat tire. I stopped to help because I'm a nice person. Turns out, the spare tire was also flat. We called for a tow truck, and I missed my interview. FML

Today, my car broke down in traffic. It's okay though, everyone honked in support while I moved my vehicle from the busy intersection. Only the third time this month. FML

Today, I came back from a 700-mile round trip. I hit a massive pothole I couldn't avoid and blew out a tire and bent my rim. I was less than a mile from my house. FML

Today, I went to have my tires replaced. While I was paying, the cashier asked if I would like a warranty for the tires. I said, "Nah, only idiots who can't drive need that." While pulling out of the parking lot, I took the turn too wide and popped my tire on the median. FML

Today, at 5:30 on a Sunday, I noticed my tire had a bubble in it. I found a tire shop 15 minutes away that would be closing at 6pm and made it there in time, but the shop had closed early. I left to try and make it to the next one and had a blow out. FML

Today, as I got on the bus to commute to work, its front right tire exploded. Everyone, including the driver, glared at me while getting off. The next bus arrives in 2 hours. FML

I'm sure they were honking at your short short as you were bending (I'm sure they were male) to change your tire and not to remind you of your misfortune with the blow out. I wonder if it's on purpose that woman assume everything but the obvious?

In the movies someone usually helps. All depends on how you look in the outfit.

People aren't like they are in the movies. Usually in the movies someone will stop and help, in real life no one wants to do it. You never know who you are going to help or what is going to happen. And all the stories you hear going around about people getting their cars stolen or getting injured, mugged, even killed, for trying to help, sure doesn't want people to try and help. At least you know how to change your tires, if that had happened to me I would've been royally screwed.

Why would you even wear short shorts and flip flops when you know it's pouring rain?

Why did people have to stop and help if you knew how to change a tire?

People don't stop and help for 3 reasons. 1: Women bitched so much about "I don't need a mans (or anyone for that matter) help! And if you do help, its sexist!!" 2: People are afraid that you could be a murderer. 3: People are lazy and afraid to get wet and actually do something.
