Transportation: Close shave

Close shave

By eyeamcool - 17/04/2009 04:11 - United States

Today, the police posted a description of the car of a child abductor. As everyone slowed down to read the billboard, I realized that the car's description and license plate were very similar to mine. After getting death stares from passengers, I got pulled over. Twice. FML

Today, I was driving my little sister to school. She really didn't wanna go and was throwing a tantrum in the car. When we stopped at a red light, my sister notices a police man giving a ticket to another driver. She rolled down her window and screamed "Help me! I'm being kidnapped by a murderer!" FML

Today, I was driving to the local market with my son. We approached a vehicle that looked just like my fiancé's. My son peered out his window and said, "Mommy, daddy's getting kidnapped!" It seems he was being 'kidnapped' by his new girlfriend. FML

Today, the police came to my door and told me about a woman who called the cops on me because she said that I had been following her in my car. We were on the highway. FML

Today, I was driving through a neighborhood and saw a "slow down, children" sign. I was nice and slowed down as I passed a couple little kids with their parents outside watching them. I guess I was going too slow because one of the fathers started chasing me down the street calling me a pedophile. FML

Today, I pulled up to the stoplight near my house. It was dark with no traffic and the car behind me kept edging closer and closer to me. I finally got fed up with waiting and the car and ran it. In fact, it was a cop and he was trying to read my license plate because the back light was out. FML

Today, I was arrested by the police for sitting in what they thought was a stolen vehicle. After being slammed into the back of a squad car at gunpoint, they realized the car was actually recovered a week ago. FML

Today, I was pulled over. The cop stated that he "couldn't see" me because I had "blended in with the dark car background", and that it looked like no one was driving. I was literally pulled over for being black. FML

Today, while driving I saw a police car riding along next to me. Thinking about the news recently, I decided to give him a quick thumbs up and a smile to lighten up his day. He looks back, smiles, flips on his siren, and pulls me over for not paying attention to the road. FML

Today, I got pulled over, not because I was speeding but because apparently, I looked like a kid driving. The officer said I was too short to drive and needed a booster seat. FML

Passengers? What passengers? Oh, you mean the children you were abducting...

One day, #8 will learn when to end a joke, and #9 will learn how to spot one.

#32 and #28. I'm not saying that it's funny or not to have your children abducted, and I'm not saying it didn't suck for him to have this happen. I just think that the OP needs a little perspective. His life doesn't suck nearly as bad as the kids' or the parents' lives.

#35 That is pretty obvious and does not need to be pointed out.

#35 Yeah, that's the point, its NOT funny, hence we'd all rather hear this humorous story, one that sucks for the poster and we can all laugh at afterward without you killing all the fun. This whole website is about funny stories, not about people whose lives ACTUALLY suck, nobody wants to be depressed all day.

Rick dude we can only imagine how it would be to have our child abducted but if we wanted to know we'd watch A&E or the news or some shit like that but this website is about the humor in shitty situations you dont watch schindler's list for a laugh now do you? are you one of those guys that when people say something bad thats happend to them your like "well atleast your not a starving child in africa blah blah blah" I get that its perspective but honestly thats prolly not what the OP wants to hear about cause i can imagine this shit is still going on for him cause if he has a shady car i doubt he has another one he can take to work

I had the same thing happen to me. The description matched my car except for the license plate. I didn't get pulled over, but I did get the death stares and people who rode my ass or stayed way far away from me. The guy behind me was on the phone. I thought he was calling the cops.

@ #29 I saw that alert too. They were broadcasting that EAS all of yesterday evening. I had a similar incident happen to me once. Not so intense but I did get pulled over and the cop informed me of the alert.

... wow, the reading comprehension here is great. I wonder how many of the YDI brigade also write the "Welp I tried to cheat and got caught, FML" and other various whinings about being unable to complete basic life tasks - they certainly demonstrate their lack of ability here.
