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

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.

It still counts as a gun here, though not banned. It can seriously injure other passengers on the bus.

playing with toy guns at 17 =/= immature, just means they want to have... whats the word... oh yes... FUN (look it up people, its really a great concept) and as for the OP getting handcuffed isnt getting arrested since they didnt book you, they handcuffed you for their safety since they didnt know that they were toy guns right away; and if you had a little big of common sense you wouldnt get toy guns that didnt have an orange cap/cover over the end of it. and those of you who say that "you're lucky the cops didnt shoot you"; cops only shot when its the LAST option to them to deal with suspects... yes they draw their guns, yes they aim the gun at the suspect, but they will only shot when their life is threatened or that its the only way to detain the person

1) You are seventeen and playing with toy guns? 2) Police officers have the right to arrest anyone with an object resembling a gun, even if it looks fake. There are some people who will make their real guns look like toy ones (including painting orange on the tip) and the police officer(s) has the right to take you into custody until it has been proven that the guns are of no threat. 3) Why were you playing with them on a bus? Of course people will be wary of someone who could potentially have a gun on the bus with them. YDI and FYL for having the maturity of a four year old. You should not be aloud out by yourself, apparently.

The only FYL here is that you obviously have the mind of a child, and if you're this bad at 17, odds are you're never going to grow up. You're complaining about the results of your own stupid behaviour, though, so YDI.

good job #10!

YDI - if you were 17 you had to have been fully aware that taking those on the bus would get you arrested. Its only a matter of luck that you weren't shot and tasered first

Ok, I won't blame you guys for wanting to have fun with toy guns when you're 17, that's totally understandable. But, when I was in elementary school they taught us something about guns, never even pretend to have one when you're at school, riding mass transportation, or any other gun sensative place like that. So you guys deserved to get arrested for that.
