Today, I went to a dollar store with a couple friends to buy cap guns to play with. We were having a lot of fun with them, and took them onto a bus. 5 minutes later, three cops got on, handcuffed us, and sternly talked to us about the dangers of guns. We got arrested for toy guns. We are 17. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was at a party when the cops showed up. They asked whether anyone had a gun, but I heard "fun" instead and raised my hand. I got searched. FML
Today, the police came to my house and arrested me. Why? The neighborhood kids thought it would be fun to hide behind my house and shoot at people with paintball guns. People saw it coming from my house and called the police. I was fired from work, due to missing it without notice. No excuses. FML
Today, I took a group of teens with me to hang up posters for our church's yard sale. Because it's summer, we went out at dusk to beat the heat. Someone called the cops on us, and we were arrested for "gang activity". FML
Today, at the bank, my 8-year-old son decided to pull out realistic looking toy gun, and scream "FREEZE! Give me all your money!" The dim-witted bank teller pressed the silent alarm, and I was nearly arrested. FML
Today, at the grocery store, the cops grabbed, cuffed, and hauled me to the station after the clerk called on me. I was with my 11 year-old niece, and she secretly tried to buy a pregnancy test. Despite saying it was for her aunt (my wife) who asked her to buy it for her without me knowing, they didn't believe her. FML
Today, I went to my local bank after getting an email from them concerning unknown purchases. Four hours later, I was still in police custody. Someone had been using my account to purchase guns and drugs. FML
Today, we went to an amusement park, or tried to. My idiot husband stuck his hand under his shirt like a gun and demanded free passes and "all the cash" as a joke. He's banned for life, they escorted us off the premises, and my children are inconsolable. FML
Today, my principal made me visit "anti-violence" classes because I had a picture of me threatening a man with a gun on my Facebook page. It was taken during the school play, where I was acting as a gangster and the gun was just a toy. The principal saw the play. FML
Today, my BFF and I put our kids on the bus, and went shopping and have lunch. We were both eating a gross amount of Taco Bell sitting in the middle of the parking lot. The cops pulled up. Someone had called them, saying we were doing drugs because of the way we were sitting. FML
Today, after my parents left for the weekend, my "friends" decided to throw a party at my house, despite my protests. In order to get them to leave, I called the police. I was the only one arrested, while they got warnings. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Everyone who thinks he deserved it because he's 17 and still playing with toy guns should realise that staying young at heart is important. I feel sorry for people unlike the OP, who never play any games.

Some places, like transportation vehicles and depots, choose to not allow guns of any type... even toy guns, since police officers mistake them for real guns. (Which apparently happened here.) Stupid, but there you go, luckily they didnt shoot to disarm/kill you.

Welcome to Obamerica. Enjoy your revoked freedoms. And #111, you're absolutely right. Blacks are the most predominantly racist group in this country right now.

Everyone, 17 year olds can be immature also. At this point I am sixteen almost seventeen, I am a mature person and also immature. In the world we live in I would rather be friends with someone that can act "immature" and have fun as to trying to hurry and grow up. There is too much pressure in this world to be "mature".

FYL? "F" the three cops's lives. They had to go on a bus and arrest three stupid kids for actually thinking they could walk onto a bus and think they weren't going to freak people out. Buddy, even if the cops know that they are fake they are REQUIRED to stop u because people could be painting the orange tips on for all they know (or at least that's what the cops told me last week when they pulled my friend and me over for airsofting...)

Hey, you people who are making a big deal about them being 17 and playing with toy guns. Have you ever played a really good game that you haven't played in years? I'm guessing not, because then you would understand.

You're the reckless, obnoxious hooligans everyone else is scared of. Don't be proud of that.

YDI for being a f*cking retard. Why would you take a toy gun that looks like a real one onto a bus? Or anywhere in public? No wonder you got arrested... any cop has to treat a gun that looks like a real gun like a real one whether it is or not. I mean, from 10 feet could they tell it was a toy? If not, then no shit you got arrested.
