Today, I was stuck at a red light on an empty road for ten minutes before I finally realised that not only was I looking at the wrong traffic light, it was also broken. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was stuck in stand-still traffic for 5 minutes, before realizing I had stopped behind a parked car. FML
Today, I pulled up to an intersection behind a car waiting to turn left and we missed a whole set of lights. As I was getting frustrated that they weren’t going when the light was green, I realised I was waiting behind a parked car. FML
Today, I was sitting at a traffic light when a cute girl appeared at the side of the road. I sat and watched her until she had crossed, when I realised that I had missed the light. A large queue of cars had built up behind me, yet none of them used their horn because I was driving my police car. FML
Today, I was first in line at a stoplight. After five minutes, with a line of cars behind me, the light was still red. People behind me started honking, so I decided to just go. Halfway across the way, I was greeted by a camera flash. Nobody else went. FML
Today, I stopped at a red light. I noticed the car in front of me had their reverse lights on. I thought to myself, "Meh, that person must know. They wouldn't do that." The light turned green. Turns out they didn't. Nor did they have insurance. FML
Today, I thought I'd be safe by looking before crossing a one way street unlike I normally do. Too bad I looked the wrong way and didn't see the car that hit me. FML
Today, I stopped at a red light, when I noticed the car in front of me was in reverse. I honked at the driver, hoping he'd realize and place the car in drive. He thought the light turned green and immediately backed into me. FML
Today, I spent five minutes waiting by a stop sign. The two cars in front of me were taking a long time to move, so I began beeping and getting angry. Turns out, these cars were parked and I was holding up a line of traffic. FML
Today, I drove to my cousin's house so he could help me fix my broken tail light. On the way there, I got pulled over for having a broken tail light. FML
Today, a stoplight turned yellow as I was approaching it. I was about to go through but saw a cop, panicked, and slammed on the brakes. I ended up in the middle of the intersection and had to reverse. Soon the light turned green, and I stepped on the gas. My car was still in reverse. FML

If the road was empty, I wouldn't have waited more than 2 minutes to just run it.

I can hardly bring myself to click YDI on this one, even though I know I should, because, sadly, I've done this before.

And I mean the "stopping at the wrong light" part, not the "driving while high" part.

Even If ur the only one on a road and run a red light, u can still get a ticket if there's photo radar and it takes a picture. He should have looked at the correct light though.

I'm pretty sure in his state of mind he thought he WAS looking at the right light. His whole issue could have been solved by just driving sober.

I have an idea for a new road safety program - 'If you can't drive, please ******* don't'. OP is first candidate

I was going to run the red light but then I got high.

Your name screams YDI, why would you even think it was a good idea to do that

Who said he thought about it? OP doesn't seem like the sharpest tool in the shed.

Good point

Exactly what I was thinking #50!

Be happy there was no one else behind you! Still trying to figure out how you were looking at the wrong light, though, even if you were stoned.

I read OP's username as 'last time I drive stoned mann...' in a slow, stonerish voice.

Empty road. Next time just floor it.
