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

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
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.

Who ever said that cops need to be re-evaluated if they can't tell the difference between a toy gun, and a real gun, nice. Im with ya on that one. **** your life indeed, because it shouldn't matter what age you are. Yes, some people do care if you play with toy guys and are 17, but really, I would rather be doing that, than have no life at all, and sit at home all day, watching TV, or on the computer.

At #10, I'm not saying that he deserves it for being 17 and wanting to have fun. I'm saying he deserves it cause he's 17 and he's playing with toy guns in public transportation. It doesn't matter how non-lethal a gun is, police officers tend to think that its a real gun (can't be sure with these things with what they do). So OP is an idiot for doing this outside his or his friend's backyard.

YDI for being a 17 year old playing with cap guns, and being stupid enough to carry it on a bus.

What state were you in? It's amazing how clueless the so-called enlightened liberals are about guns. (And that applies to a lot of posters in this thread). btw, I think some of y'all are confusing a cap gun with an air rifle (bb gun). Cap guns ARE toys, they don't shoot anything. It's just a little cap that goes pop.

You guys are 17 year old morons. I remember a 20 year old getting shot to death by a cop in Germany for playing with a toygun in public. In GERMANY. The most liberal country in all europe (xcept for denmark maybe) .
