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

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, 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, 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

Today, my friends and me had a little water balloon fight and somehow it led to throwing water balloons at cars. We all decided to hit a car all at once, after one came by we all hit it. The car stopped and started flashing bright blue lights. We ended up hitting an off-duty police car. FML

Suspicious activity

Today, my BFF and I put our kids on the bus, decided to go 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 taking my crush to the train station late at night, I sat in a local park alone with my thoughts for a while. Two cops appeared out of nowhere and started searching me for drugs and weapons, asking me questions for a good 30 minutes. Not the kind of action I expected tonight. FML

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.

Wow, you people who are saying they deserved it for playing with toy guns are colossal douchebags. Clearly, this is an FML because they were mistakenly arrested. Cap guns don't even look like real guns up close, for god's sake. They have the orange tips and they're made of goddamn plastic.

@ #5 Some kids brought BB guns to my school and were expelled. I assume the same rules apply to other public places, especially buses often locations of gang relted crime. @OP YDI because you thought no one would care because you're 17. Most people assume kids your age are the most likely to pull those kinds of stunts.

wow... first of all, a 17 yr old playing with toy guns is not the point of this fml. and what's wrong with playing with toy guns at the age of 17? he's young at heart and, most importantly, he knows how to have fun with the simple things in life - toys and his friends. secondly, isn't the OP saying fml because he got arrested for a kinda dumb but kinda legit reason? yea, deffo an FYL

Like most everyone else said...I think 17 is too old to be playing with toy guns...ESPECIALLY in a public place. Its dangerous cause people been shot before over toy guns and over by over zealous cops. If you still want to play with toy guns at 17 do it at home, I would be embarrassed. I am all for having fun at any age but a toy gun is asking for trouble in a public place.
