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

No good deed…
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 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

Classic
Today, I pretended to be on the phone to avoid small talk with someone from my building. I spoke loudly into the phone while walking by them. My phone rang in the middle of my fake conversation. FML

Today, I was approached by a policeman who asked me if I was the owner of the green Camry. Turns out my parents decided to teach me a lesson for lying where I had been by reporting the car stolen. They also wouldn't answer my one phone call. FML

Suspicious
Today, I pulled over because my cell phone was ringing, as it's now illegal to use in a car. I finished the call when a motorcycle cop on side of road pulls up behind me and comes over. The reason? "You pulled off the road and it was suspicious, then I ran your plate…" FML

There might be a gun in the top, with a mysterious caller/murderer dictating your every movement. I use movies as real-life examples too.

It's now illegal if you make a call that is not on an iPhone

Pay phones still exist? The cop must not have known what it was.

Never underestimate how suspicious pay phones can be.

I don't know which sucks more: That you have to use a pay phone or that someone doesn't know what a pay phone is and thought you were doing something suspect.

Wherever OP lives, they obviously have pay phones...but, do bigger cities (NYC, Chicago, etc.) still have pay phones? The only pay phone I have seen around here is the one Tom Cruise used in Rain Man (and it is just the booth).

Don't feel bad. I once was stopped by a police car for "walking" and "looking at the store windows". They said "we've seen you walking aimlessly for the last 45 minutes" I had to explain that I was exercising (it was around 10 pm) .

Who goes outside to exercise at 10 PM?
ksks1234 33
People that don't like to get up early, people that work all day, people that don't like to exercise in the heat.

Maybe it's because people hardly use pay phones anymore.
