Transportation, Embarrassing, Cars and Cops: Detained

Detained

Today, I got pulled over for speaking on my phone. I accepted the fine because I was too ashamed to tell the cute officer that I was actually trying to pop a huge pimple on my cheek. FML

Today, I was driving to work. I saw a cute boy in the car next to me. To try and look cool, I pretended I was talking on my cell phone. I got pulled over and got a ticket for using my cell phone while driving. FML

Today, I popped a pimple while stopped at a red light. When I looked over the woman in the car next to me was laughing, and had her camera phone out. FML

Today, a motorist yelled at me for texting and driving. I was too ashamed to admit that I'd been admiring the bogey I'd just picked from my nose. FML

Today, I got pulled over for distracted driving. Not for cell phone use but for nose picking and inspecting. FML

Today, I was driving when I noticed that the guy in front was on the phone. I pulled up next to him, pulled out my phone and I made a gesture that he needed to put his phone away. It was a cop. I got a ticket for driving while on my cell phone. FML

Today, I got pulled over for talking on my phone while driving. I'd lost my phone the day before. He didn’t believe me. So, I got a ticket for talking on a phone I can’t even find. FML

Today, I got pulled over by a state trooper for speeding. When he saw I had something in my pocket, he began to ask if it was a weapon. After arguing for a few minutes I was put in handcuffs. I was too embarrassed to pull the tampon out my pocket. FML

Underage boozing

Today, I was hammered, and on my way home I walked into a policeman. My logic was, if I'm on the phone, he can't talk to me, so I pulled my phone out and started speaking. The officer then asked me why I was speaking to my wallet. FML

Today, I got pulled over for speeding. I started fixing my hair and unbuttoning a couple of buttons on my shirt, hoping the policeman would let me off with a warning. When he got to the car, he rolled his eyes and muttered something under his breath. I saw him walk back to the cop car gagging. FML

Well if she showed the pimple to the cop and didnt get the fine, the cop mightve been submitting the fml

YDI. Dont be embarrassed. It is now on your record for however many years your state saves fines. If you were on a military base you would lose driving privileges for 7 days. Bet you would tell the truth then huh.

Note that OP claims to be Australian, so very different rules might apply for what they'd mean by a military base. (Of course, I realize the region only shows up readily on some platforms, but not others, so just FYI.)

YDI for trying to pop a pimple while driving. You may as well have been talking on your phone, they're both distractions.

Wait...what does your phone have to do with that? Are you saying you were trying to use your phone to pop the pimple?

Popping a pimple still counts as distracted driving, and you would have been given a ticket anyway. Where I live, distracted driving includes talking on your cell phone, eating, fixing/doing your makeup, shaving (yes, some people have done that); basically anything that takes your eyes off the road or hands off the wheel.
