Today, I was walking through town when I saw a plastic bag on the ground. Trying to be a good citizen, I picked it up, intending on throwing it in the trash. When I looked up, there wasn't a trash can for another hundred feet. So I put it back down. Now I've got a $200 fine to pay for littering. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, it's garbage day. My mom accidentally threw away a receipt she needed to return something and told me to go get it. While I was looking for it, a cop gave me hell for "stealing recyclables on private property." This all happened in my front lawn. FML
Today, I was walking through a rich part of the city and saw 2 dollars on the ground. I didn't pick it so people wouldn't think I was poor. FML
Today, I went to drop the garbage in the compactor as I left to do some shopping. I quickly put my handbag down on the side, threw the 'garbage' in the machine, watched it do its thing, and then turned round to find... the bag of garbage on the side. FML
Today, I was taking my dog for a walk and forgot a bag to pick up his poop, since it's illegal to not pick it up in my town. Right as my dog started to take a dump, a cop car drove by and continued to watch me as I was forced to pick up the poop with my bare hands. FML
Today, I watered a dying communal plant. I was fined $250 for littering. FML
Today, I tried to help my community by cleaning up a patch of waste ground covered in litter. Instead of gratitude, I was reported to the cops and issued with fines for noise complaints, trespassing, causing a nuisance, littering, harming wildlife, and about 15 other offences. Screw this community. FML
Today, feeling angry at the world, I threw a bottle, that had been clearly marked to be recycled, into a garbage can as an act of defiance. Minutes later, I guiltily retreated and spent the next few minutes with my entire arm stuck up the stinking ass of a city garbage can. FML
Today, the new security guard of my apartment building tackled me for "suspicious behavior" while I was taking a bag full of dirty kitty litter to the trash chute. He broke my arm and cause the trash bag to explode. When I got back from the hospital, I was fined for littering in the hallway. FML
Today, in a desperate attempt to get my business "out there", I dropped a few of my cards on a station floor. I got a call, even a quote. A $500 fine from the transit for public littering. FML
Today, I was on a walk when I saw a man dump a bag of trash into the creek. Furious, I shouted at him, and when he shoved me, I threw him into the creek. Later, I was arrested and charged with battery. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

a plastic bag doesn't weigh anything and it wouldn't have taken any extra effort to walk the 100 ft. your laziness disgusts me. you completely deserved it.

All these folks yakking on about how you deserved it when they most likely wouldn't have even considered picking it up themselves is real rich.

#87, how does touching it make it his property? I can't think of a single situation where that logic is applicable. Also, even if you think he's lazy, I still don't see how that makes him deserving of having to pay $200.

If you were really trying to be a good citizen, you would have walked an extra 15 seconds to the trash can. And yes, he deserves this. He was just as lazy as the original person who couldn't walk the extra 100 feet. He littered just like the original owner of the bag. Also, he clearly wasn't in a hurry for anything since it was just 'walk through town'. If he had anywhere in particular to go, he would surely have taken a car of a bus. If the trash can wasn't in the direction he was going, then there had to be one somewhere in the direction he was going in. Anybody who put FYL is must also be a lazyass who has done something similar and was just mad that they had to pay for their actions. #4-He looks like a much bigger idiot to just throw it back on the ground. #16-He didn't try. Trying would be like picking it up, looking for the trash can, and actually walking over there. Anyways, YDI 150%. A good lesson for following through with your actions. :P

YDI. I log onto a website devoted to misfortune after having two uncles die of cancer in four months, a diagnosis of PTSD after seeing kids get blown up in afghanistan, and 18 month stop loss, to read about a lazy prick who won't walk to a trashcan. FML

Like they always say, a good deed never goes unpunished.

"Trying to be a good citizen" & "there wasn't a trash can for another hundred feet" - you tool. Couldn't make the 30m carrying a piece of rubbish? You shouldn't be out in society unsupervised.
