Today, as a public defender, my client was actually innocent for once. I intended to utterly destroy the prosecution's case and demonstrate his good character. That plan went straight to hell when he showed up heavily intoxicated. FML

Today, I'm a police officer who had the honor of arresting my girlfriend of 3 months for prostitution. All of my coworkers at the station know her and won't stop giving me judging looks. FML

Today, I was in traffic court trying to get out of a ticket. The judge called my defense "complete, unadulterated bullshit." FML

Today, while arriving to a date for the first time in a couple years, the first thing out of his mouth was, "I'm only dressed up because I had court today." FML

Today, I was scheduled to fill in at the customer service counter where I work. Today was also the day that I allegedly accused a customer of being a thief, sold her a fraudulent money order, and will be sued for defamation of character. FML

Today, I figured out that the roommate who I let move in with me on Sunday is probably a prostitute. I’m a lawyer. FML

Today, my tampon leaked right before I had to go to court. I'm the plaintiff and I work for my city, and blood stains isn't a good look. FML

Today, I got to try on a stunning suit that made me the handsomest man in the world. Upcoming prom? No. Wedding? No. I attended a date... A court date. FML

Today, in court, my client ran his mouth at the judge, cursing him out and then trying to lecture him on "freedom of speech" when he was found in contempt. I don't know what it is with these nutjobs, but I wish I'd never become a public defender. FML

Priceless. But depending on the case, there is a small possibility, you were still correct.

#68 So basically, the OP is an idiot if s/he was just a little nervous? Practice isn't the real thing. It was the OP's first day -- one little slip-up doesn't make someone mediocre. Go take your disgruntled feelings elsewhere. OP - that was gold. Lmao, don't worry, worst mistakes have been made. XD

47- "Sexual worker" and "social worker" don't sound anything alike. Try again. To the OP: Just point your finger at people and yell "Objection!" and you'll win any case.

68, your yelling at yourself "#68... That should have been drilled out of him after 3 years of mock courts and internships at firms. The only reasonable alternative is he is one of the 800,000 attorneys that could not get any other real job, chose the field, and are now stuck doing traffic court/public defense/criminal prosecution/DWIs. He completely deserved it... Seethe your mediocrity into other fields please."
