Today, as I was driving home, I saw a woman get hit by a car. I immediately parked on the side of the road to assist her. I called an ambulance and stayed with her until they came to get her, comforting her all the while. When I returned to my car, I found a parking ticket in my windshield. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, at a red light, an old lady crossing the street fell right in front of my car. I got out of my car to help her. The light turned green and I was still helping the woman to her feet. An officer came by and ticketed me for "impeding the flow of traffic." FML
Today, I was hit by a car speeding through an intersection after the light had already turned red. Still partly blacked out, I crawled onto the sidewalk and I sat down. The woman rolled down her car window and yelled, "Watch where you're going!" as she drove by. FML
Today, on my way to work, I noticed a woman on the side of the road waving for help, her car appearing to be broken down. I pulled over, stepped out of my car, went over to her car, lifted the hood, and checked it. When I looked up to tell her what was wrong, she and my car were gone. FML
Today, a couple of friends and I were driving around town and saw a lady who had accidentally backed her car up onto a concrete wall. Laughing, we all turned to look as we passed and I drove straight into a parked police car that had stopped to help her. FML
Today, I saw a bad car wreck. I pulled over and ran to the car to find an unconscious man behind the wheel. Another car pulled up, and a guy got out. I was relieved to have help, until, to my horror, he started trying to hit on me. I was stuck with him until the ambulance arrived. FML
Today, after I arrived at work, somebody crashed into my parked car and left a big dent. The impact pushed my car up onto the curb and I got a parking ticket. FML
Today, while driving, I got a call on my cell phone. Trying to be safe and avoid an accident, I pulled into the nearest parking lot before answering. While I was turning in to park, someone rear-ended me. FML
Today, I was in a car accident. After screaming at the woman for running into me, I got in my car and drove off. As I was driving away, I was staring her down when I ended up rear-ending the person in front of me. FML
Today, I was walking on the sidewalk near my house when a car pulled out of a parking spot in front of a speeding ambulance. The ambulance swerved up onto the grass. Yes, I broke my arm after being hit by an ambulance. FML
Today, I hit a car while trying to park. Assuming that no one saw, I moved my car and parked somewhere else. Hours later I get a call from the university police. While backing up to go to the police station I hit another car. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

There is usually a process by which you can contest the ticket. You MIGHT be able to get out of it since it was an emergency.

Go to the media with the story. They'll love yet another story about how much of a jerk cops are. You'll have the whole police department apologizing to you up and down, in public, on TV, in a couple of days.

this is obviously bs, lets think about the logic u parked on the side of the road and walked to where the injured person was, so then ur sayin a cop shows up, proceeds to write u a ticket, then puts the ticket on ur vehicle, and proceeds to leave, all the while even if this did happen u didnt see him do this??? where the hell did u park ur car, obviously that should prove ur full of s***, but ur also tryin to tell me this cop who gave u a ticket for pullin off the side of the road like u claim didnt bother to come help the poor woman who had been hit, what is he blind and with no radio so he had no idea what was happening, and yeah in conclusion your full of s*** and made this up.

Actually to follow up with 105... You are making this up, but it really DID happen somewhere else... In Germany a man parked his car, illegally, and ended up going to the hospital in the ambulance with the guy (the man he went to the hospital with had a heartattack while driving) and the man that left his car DID get a parking ticket.

I'm pretty sure you can win your battle in court if you contest it. You were helping someone who had been ran over. WTF, indeed.

Definitely contest it. When I worked at Home Depot a woman came in wearing flip-flops (stupid thing to wear to HD, btw) to get sheet metal. She wound up dropping a piece on her foot and slicing her foot open. She passed out on a pile of OSB while I was grabbing bandages and such from the first-aid kit (and being yelled at for customers for not being at the cash-register), so I wiped all the blood off her foot (without gloves because my managers took 10 minutes to requisition some while the woman laid and bled), bandaged her up, washed her flip-flops off for her, got her a soda, and looked up where in the area she could go to see if she needed stitches (it was a Saturday so most places in our small town were closed). NONE of my managers said thank you for doing what they couldn't do, and I got bitched at for helping the bleeding woman instead of cashiering. *sigh*

I am not sure if someone else hasn't suggested this since I haven't read all the comments, but if you can't get them to just drop it, first go with a jury (you can demand one, even for a parking ticket), they will be sympathetic to you being a Good Samaritan, and if even they are assholes, start a chipin, people will help.
