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

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I went to contest a parking ticket in court. I came out 3 hours later, all charges clear, to a new parking ticket on my windshield, for the same amount I just got cleared. FML
Today, I got so anxious while trying to fight the ticket I got earlier this month that I passed out in front of the judge. FML
Today, I just about managed to convince the judge to overlook my client's emotional outbursts in the courtroom, promising that he'd be on his best behavior from now on. An hour later, he screamed "FUCK YOU!" at the judge for telling him to quiet down. I hate my job. FML
Today, I went to court because I got a traffic ticket for running a red light. While I was in court, I found out it was actually for a car I had sold years ago. FML
Today, I had my first appearance in a court as an attorney. I called the prosecution the prostitution. FML
Today, I got a speeding ticket while driving to my court date for a prior speeding ticket. FML
Today, the deranged idiot that I am defending in court went completely nuts and told the judge that I am the guy who planned the whole armed robbery that he is on trial for. 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
Today, I was on the way to traffic court for a $340 speeding ticket I'd got. My mother called me and I wasn't paying attention which caused me to speed. Right past a cop. When I told the cop where I was going, he started laughing at me. I now have another $300 ticket. FML
Today, while leaving our county courthouse after testifying as the arresting officer in multiple DWI cases, I hit a wrong way sign in the court’s parking lot. All the defense attorneys were outside, asking me if I was drunk. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Maybe it was "complete, unadulterated bullshit."

I'm sorry, I can't agree with this. The last time I got a ticket I was given the ticket and told 'plead and then we'll tell you how much it is' Looking into it, I found out the ticket could have easily cost me 5-600 dollars, and 4-5 points ( 72 in a 55), I fought the ticket, and got it reduced, ended up paying 120 and 1 point. I guess the point is, even if they *reduce* your fines/points you're better off then not doing anything, because if they throw the book at you it can really really suck.

That about sums it up

I believe the appropriate pun here is, "that about summons it up."

Why were you driving that fast? The reason everyone's saying YDI is because he got the ticket in the first place.
