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

70% off something you didn't need, a stampede and a cart that crashes at checkout. Thanks, Black Friday.
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.

number 131, that is complete irrelevant, and will only cause negative controversy, maybe you should learn to be humble and not run your mouth so unnecessarily.

YDI, not because you were playing with cap guns, but you were obviously flashing them around on the bus, or playing with them. Cops have to treat every gun as if it's real, it sucks but that's the way it is, you can thank all the idiots out there for that. #56, aka "photographer"... lighten up. No need to act so mature. You're 14, it's okay to have fun... and I doubt you're a photographer. Playing with your mom's P and S (point and shoot) and taking pics of your cat and making new facebook photos doesn't count. Go use a film camera for a few years and see what photography's really like.

dumbass you deserved to get arrested. and everyone slamming the officers for arresting the 3, we'll air on the safe side and arrest people who appear armed rather than running the risk that assuming their just "toy guns" and I don't know the last time you looked, but toy guns are looking more and more like real guns every day. But we'll guess if they're real or not if you think we're stupid for arresting them. It's your life....oh wait...and mine and everyone else in the vicinity. You're just as big of a dumbass as those 3 are.

YDI for being an idiot. Playing with guns in public? Really? REALLY?? and you were surprised that you got a "stern talking to" from police officers about this? I don't know if you have ever watched the news, but most people think like this "teens + guns = badnews", so the instant you flashed that in public the authorities were bound to be alerted. even if the tip is colored different, there is no way to know for sure if it's a real gun or not without getting close!!

That is absolutely NOT a YDI. Toy guns are clearly marked as toys to prevent exactly this kind of thing from happening.

If they had an orange tip at the end, then they had no right to do that. (Orange tips signify toy guns, even though it should be quite clear to begin with.) FYL.
