Today, I called 911 to report a drunk driver. The operator yelled at me for following the guy and told me to get off the phone because I shouldn't be driving with a phone to my ear. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I saw someone drive recklessly as if they were drunk. When I called the cops, I got pulled over by another cop for talking on my cell phone. FML
Today, I called the cops to let them know that a drunk man was driving dangerously down my road. About an hour later, I was going to the store and got pulled over for speeding by the cop I called. FML
Today, I rear ended a cop while talking on my cell phone. FML
Today, my dad took a call while driving. He always yells and curses at people who talk on their cell while driving. I asked him to get off the phone because it's dangerous, and told him he's being a hypocrite. He shook his head at me and continued talking. Seconds later, we got into an accident. FML
Today, I was driving home and got a phone call from my mom. She called to tell me that there was a cop at the bottom of our hill, and to be careful. I got a ticket for talking on my cell phone while driving. FML
Today, I saw a car swerving in front of me on the freeway, so I whipped out my cell to report the DUI. As soon as it started ringing, I see police lights in my rear view and got slapped with a ticket for using a cell phone while driving. After explaining why, the officer said, "Nice try." 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 was pulled over for a DWI. The police officer was drunk. 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, while working at my call center, I took a phone call. The guy on the other line just yelled "FUCK YOU!" twice at the top of his lungs before hanging up on me. But of course, the phone agent is always at fault. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Write down the plate number and give it to the bitch

god damn. Report it and get him fired. That drunk driver could cause way more damage than you could've driving on the phone, and the operator would be partially responsible

The dispatcher was right. Get the plate number, cross streets, direction of travel, car color make/model, pull over and call 911. Never follow a suspect and do not call/text while driving. You're now a road hazard when you do those things. Thank you for reporting it though. A complaint against the dispatcher will not get them fired or written up. They did the right thing.

Don't call the police everyone always so quick to call the police instead of minding their own business

Sorry to break it to you but your dad is an utter moron. Hopefully he was banned from driving before the inevitable could happen.

Drunk driving is a moronic thing to do and anyone who does it should be completely banned from driving, in my opinion. It shouldn't be a case of "mind your own business" when so many lives are at risk.

Because he was stopped before he caused or got in a wreck idiot. Hopefully he's smart enough now not to do it again. Look up statistics for drunk driving you are a complete selfish moron if you don't think drunk drivers should get in trouble.

It's his own fault, it's a stupid thing to do, he didn't get in a wreck this time but next time could be different and it's a felony not a federal charge. It's a state law matter not a federal statute. Your dad deserves to get the charge, he has to know it's a felony as that's a topic covered in testing for and renewing your CDL. He has special privileges by having a CDL, which comes with heightened responsibilities. If he were driving his rig it can cause way more damage and devastation than in a passenger car. That's why it has an automatic upgrade to a felony from a misdemeanor.

Your the idiot he got pulled over for having his high beams on and the cop smelled alcohol

You could have been using Bluetooth and speaker phone. They shouldn't have just assumed you had your phone to your ear. Even still, that drunk driver could cause a lot more damage than you and they should have focused on that.

Can't really blame the operator. One time some guy followed a kid he thought was doing something illegal and ended up killing him. I think his last name was Zimmerman - you've probably heard of him.

There's kind of a big difference between shooting a kid and calling 911 on a drunk driver.

Well that escalated quickly.

The other day I saw a guy in a truck throw a few cans out his window and sooo badly wanted to call it in, but as I was driving I couldn't. One came close to hitting my car, and it was pretty distracting. It sucks how trying to be helpful backfires so often these days. FYL- and remember the plate number if you can, and call it in again when you stop driving maybe?

In Ontario, Canada, where I live, it's illegal to use anything but hands-free or bluetooth for cell phone calls while driving. If that's the case where you live, then you should have waited, because technically that's an infraction too. Kind of confused though. How'd he know you're driving unless you told him you were, or if he heard background noises of an engine, traffic, wind, etc.?

you should've said they're on Bluetooth and to go eat a dick.
