Gun control, Scary and Miscellaneous: Cliché for real

Cliché for real

By fuckinghicks - This FML is from back in 2012 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, while going on a jog through the countryside, I discovered that it is actually possible outside of crappy TV shows to have a rifle leveled at you, and to be shouted at to, "Get off my land." FML

Today, I went for a run. I ended up being tackled by two cops, handcuffed, and dragged to the station with no explanation. Turns out a house nearby had been robbed and the best description they got was, "A man running." I didn't even get an apology. FML

WHO ARE YOU?

Today, just like every morning this month, I woke up, put on my clothes, looked out my window, and was pointed at by a man in a ninja outfit on my neighbor's roof. The police still can't find him. FML

Which side are you on?

Today, I woke up to a glorious sunrise, fresh coffee, and a bleached lawn. My neighbors on both sides have constantly fought with each other since before I even moved in, which I guess explains the note taped to my window saying, "Pick a side." FML

Today, while walking down the street, a truck hit a puddle and splashed me with water. After I cursed and flipped him off, he put his truck in reverse and splashed me again. FML

Today, I got lost, and eventually noticed that I'd passed by the same house a few times. Apparently somebody who lives on that street noticed as well, because the next time I passed by, the police were waiting for me. FML

Creeped out

By emoney - This FML is from back in 2009 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, I was walking out of my front door in the town where I intern. I live alone and know no one. As I'm locking the door, I see a golf ball wedged between my mat and step. I notice that there's writing on it so I pick it up to read, "You look hot when you sleep." FML

Today, I came across a tourist in the street asking people for directions, but nobody understood him. I speak English, so I went to help the gentleman out. He said "Knock it off with the cheesy accent, pal" and informed me that my country is a shithole. FML

Today, I was walking back home from a party, when I received an email from our neighborhood watch. It said to beware, because a "thug-like" stranger with a white shirt and brown hair had entered the neighborhood. My hair is indeed brown and I was wearing a white shirt. FML

Today, my car broke down in the middle of nowhere. I walked about 3 miles to the nearest house to call a tow truck. When I got back to where I left my car, it was gone. FML

you don't deserve a gun being pointed at you but you shouldn't run on someone's private property either

Us ******* hicks would prefer if you would jog on the side of a road or a jogging trail, not just the "countryside". Just because someone's backyard is 20 acres doesn't mean they want to share it with condescending yuppies.

That's actually kind of hilarious. Don't get me wrong I'm sure it was scary as hell and I don't want to demean that, but since you lived to post about it I'm not going to feel bad about chuckling at this. And ignore the haters telling you that you deserved it for not immediately assuming it was someone's land; if you're not from that area, I think you should be allowed to make an innocent mistake or two.

I wouldn't go so far as to point a rifle at you. I'd have a gun with me just in case though. You still shouldn't have been trespassing op.

I don't get some of these responses. 1) Did you know it was someone's property? Can't assume you did. 2) if someone is clearly just running through my property, and not hanging around or causing trouble, I wouldn't be the least bit bothered by it.
