Drop it!

By AliRocks - This FML is from back in 2011 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, I got a ticket for vandalizing public property. I decided to draw a cat on the street outside my house in sidewalk chalk. I'm 20, and I have to explain to my parents why I'm playing with chalk instead of studying. FML

How the **** can you get a ticket for that? It disappears when you throw a bucket of water on it.

Right after you watched the Disney Channel or before you took a bath with your star wars figurines?

Agreed with the Disney Channel, but don't attack my Star Wars action figures. Granted, I don't take baths with them. Why do I have a feeling this is going somewhere very bad... oh right, this is FML.

Why are sidewalk chalk drawings considered vandalism? You might as well make it illegal to sell the chalk at all!

You're absolutely right. That's why it's illegal to sell spray paint, toilet paper, and eggs.

... except for the fact that "sidewalk chalk" is made specifically for drawing on the sidewalk. I don't exactly see cartons of eggs that say "For throwing at speeding cars!"

Lie. No-one would get charged for drawing with chalk on a pavement. It washes off with water. Street artists do it all the time. It's a lie.

Google "Arrested for Sidewalk Chalk Drawings" and you'll find just how wrong you are, darling. It's sad.

Why would you draw it on the street rather than the sidewalk? I'd say you are probably lucky they didn't also ticket you for being a road hazard.

You should explain to your parents that they should be glad that you are expressing your rage that they raised an emotionally underdeveloped woman-child with chalk instead of a knife or a firearm.

However, no one ever made up a poem about an emotionally deranged woman-child and her chalk. Here's to your immortality Lizzie Borden, and her ax!

Wow, you obviously do not know how to enjoy THE SIMPLE THINGS IN LIFE. (I capitalized that for extra emphasis.) Chalk is relaxing for me; all art forms are. OP does not need to grow up in any way, shape, or form. C:

Wow **** you. You stfu. She was probably bored, it was chalk. It's not like she was drawing in wet cement ruining the sidewalk. Growing up doesn't mean you can't have a little fun. Plus I don't know how she got a ticket, that's wrong.
