Today, I was arrested for carrying a dangerous weapon. I was on my way home from the shop where I'd bought a new kitchen knife. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I went to school wearing the same jacket I had gone hiking in the previous day. When I found out that I had left my 2" pocket knife in the pocket I immediately turned it in to the front office. They promptly had me arrested for bringing a weapon on campus. FML
Today, I was arrested for breaking into a house. This is what happens when I lose my key. FML
Today, I stopped by the gun store to pick up a new concealed weapon for protection. As I was leaving the store, a man came up behind me, hit me with a crowbar, and stole my gun. FML
Today, I realized I've been acting very paranoid lately. I was mugged a few weeks ago, so I've been nervous. I've been holding my hands in my pockets and looking around on my way outside from work. Apparently, that's grounds to arrest someone under suspicion of carrying a concealed weapon. FML
Today, I went to court expecting to walk out a free man. Turns out my misdemeanor offense couldn't compare to the crime I committed when I walked into the court house with a switchblade tucked into my shoe. FML
Today, someone had put a lock on my bike. While I was trying to saw it off, the police drove by. I was arrested for trying to steal a bike and released four hours later when they figured out that it was actually my bike. FML
Today, I realized my paranoia is really bad when I saw my coworker holding a knife and immediately began thinking of ways to keep him from stabbing me. I work in a restaurant kitchen. FML
Today, my boyfriend got arrested. For robbing my house. FML
Today, while going to work, I was mugged. On the way back, I was mugged. FML
Today, someone tried to mug me. I panicked and ran. As they chased me with their knife out, I heard a slip and a shout behind me but kept running. Six blocks later I was spotted, arrested, and held for questioning by the police. The mugger fell, stabbed themselves, and told a cop that I did it. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

You shouldn't have been wearing your new hockey mask at the same time.

I think that law is very stupid and unfair. How can someone really defend themselves against someone pointing a gun at them? What, they're supposed to just stand there and get shot first, THEN lay there bloody waiting for ambulence to come, be on the news the next day which most likely the person with the gun will never get caught by the police.

This happened to me, I walked out of John Lewis after buying a ton of stuff in kitchenware. 20 seconds later one of those police community support officers asked to search my bag, saw the knife (in a box), then called in the real police, who then let me go.

Wait, what? A support officer called the real police to arrest you after seeing you had a knife in a box inside a bag? Did the real police scold him for wasting time and false complaints?

106, I find your comments absolutely ridiculous. You may find your comments funny, but the rest of us don't. No one likes them, or is entertained by them. Please, stop polluting the comments section with your idiocy.

if you're walking around with a kitchen knife in your hand and not in a bag then it's your own fault. FYL for not having a brain

Why is everyone assuming OP was just wandering around with the knife in her hand? chances are it was in a bag. Even if it wasn't in a bag most knives come in some sort of packaging which would show it was brand new. The cop in this case was a total moron.
