Today, I went for a walk. When it started pouring, I ran under the nearest tree for protection. It didn't occur to me that it might look suspicious hiding under a stranger's tree in a black hoodie, until the cops showed up. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was walking through town with my hood up and noticed people giving me funny looks. It wasn't until I got home that I realised the umbrella I was holding over my head had been closed the whole time. FML
Today, while I was walking home from work, it started to rain. Clutching my bag in one hand, I started to run so I wouldn't get too wet. I saw a man running towards me and all of a sudden he tackled me to the ground. He thought I had stolen someone's handbag. FML
Today, I was walking my little sister home from the eye doctor. It was raining out so we were kind of in a hurry to get home. We get home and about half an hour later, the cops show up. Apparently, someone saw me walking my sister and called the cops on me thinking I was a child molester. FML
Today, I was on my way to work and wearing a tank top when I suddenly walked through 10 feet of sprinklers and got completely soaked. A cop flagged me down in front of a bunch of people, because apparently I matched the description of a "suspect". He stared at my boobs the entire time. FML
Today, someone stole my umbrella. It was pouring heavily, and I was using it at the time. FML
Today, as I was running from the cops I jumped behind a bush to hide. Turns out it was a massive thorn bush. I later had the most painful shower I have ever experienced. FML
Today, I was stopped and questioned by two officers for walking on a public trail in broad daylight. Someone (I think it was the older woman with the two dogs I saw) claimed there was a strange man in a hoodie mumbling to himself. I was wearing a hoodie, but I’m a woman and I was singing along with my music. FML
Today, I was on my way home when I saw a cop hiding behind a Budget truck. I immediately slowed down and prayed that he wouldn't give me a ticket. Then I realized I was walking. FML
Today, I hit a parked car and fled because I was so scared. Four hours later, the cops showed up at my house so I broke down crying confessing everything. Turns out, they weren't there about the car I hit. They were alerting me about the string of burglaries in my neighborhood recently. FML
Today, I heard someone try to get into my back garden. I ran to the front door, opened it, and shouted at whoever it was. I then saw a police officer appear, following the person who'd jumped my fence. I then realised I wasn't wearing any trousers. I'd shouted at the police half naked. FML

perhaps hiding under a tree in a storm should not be your first idea anyway.

If you did nothing wrong, then what does it matter

are you of darker skin colour? because that could explain a lot..

Not sure why you're getting thumbed down. It's pretty typical that people might call the cops when they see anyone with dark skin hanging out in their neighborhood, even if the person has lived on the same block with them for years.

Not such a bad fml... I'm sure it was sorted out quickly and you were able to laugh about it. It's a decent story to tell the mates.

You should check the weather next time!

It's RAIN. Water. H2O. The wet stuff. Kids play in it. You're not going to die from walking home while its raining. That's where you keep your towels and dry clothes, right?

Hide your kids, hide your wives, and hide your husbands because the lightening is striking everywhere out here.

Were you *pause for effect* in the 'hood? I should be ashamed of myself for that one.

You do realize standing under a tree in a storm is quite possibly the worst place to be, and not because of suspicious neighbors calling the cops?

Might not have been a storm - just a bit of rain, maybe.

Also, it might have been a small tree surrounded by larger trees and tall buildings...

Nicely explain to them why you where there.
