Today, thanks to Grand Theft Auto, I found myself seriously thinking about holding up an armored bank truck when I saw it in traffic. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I got to drive my mom's car. I'd recently watched the new Fast and Furious movie, I thought it'd be fun to drift around a few corners. I ended up smashing straight into someone's front yard. FML
Today, I saw a Tesla truck in my rear-view mirror and thought, "Oh, look how cool the front looks!" Five seconds later it rear-ended me. FML
Today, somebody parked an old truck with "FDIC" stickers on the sides in front of the bank I work at. I've been dealing with panicked customers all day, my manager says that the whole bank is at risk, and we can't find who parked the truck there. FML
Today, I saw my dad driving our red Dakota, and I thought it would be funny to tail him around town. It wasn't until I saw cop lights flashing in my rear-view mirror that I remembered that we'd given away our red truck. I'd scared an old lady so badly that she called the police. FML
Today, after a long work shift, I was so tired that I took a nap in my car to avoid driving half-asleep. When I awoke, there was a huge truck in front of me. I thought I'd fallen asleep while driving and was about to die. I only realized it was stationary after I pissed myself. FML
Today, I accidentally rear-ended an undercover police car. FML
Today, I called work crying, telling them that I wouldn't be able to go to work tomorrow due to my grandmother's sudden and tragic death. After hanging up, I walked into the midnight release of Grand Theft Auto 5. I had no idea my boss was also an avid gamer. FML
Today, I forgot to take my wallet off the roof of my car and drove away, onto the highway. A man behind me began flashing his lights and waving his arms. I thought he was freaking out because I cut him off. I flipped him off. He was trying to tell me that all my money was flying down the road. FML
Today, after 27 years of dedicated and loyal service, it finally happened, I was robbed at gunpoint at work. The whole heist only took about 30 seconds and the perpetrator took off without taking anything from me. I still don't get it. What kind of screwball would hijack a garbage truck? FML
Today, I got stuck in traffic and angrily honked at the car in front of me. Then I realized it was a hearse. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I'd say you should try it. In the best case you're rich, and if you fail just get your car painted.

Just make sure to yell YOLO as you somehow try to overpower them...

I used to love chocolate, but because of Candy Crush, I hate that shit that ruins everything! You ought to attempt the heist, because you have been training for it. If you succeed, you can deduct the cost of your console and GTA off your taxes by claiming them as job-related educational expenses!

You should know better, pulling a heist is where the real money is at!

Not exactly. More like investing and financing stock in game will get you some serious cash.

#31, if you're Bernie Madoff or Enron, those are all synonyms;)

If you're that weak minded and easily influenced then GTA really isn't for you.

You can't accuse a game for making you think about doing something stupid. People have been doing stupid things way before video games and movies have been invented. If you honestly can't tell the difference between fantasy and reality, don't play video games rated mature. Yes, you probably can do that but the reality is you ruin your life and don't get to start over like you can in a game. YDI.

Yeah I would suggest stop playing the game for a week or so and then ease back into it

PLEASE don't be one of those idiots who ends up on the news because of an idea they got from GTA...

You didn't get the idea from the game. It's like saying that because of a movie, whenever I walk into a bank, I always imagine how I would rob it. No, I always think about how I would rob it because it's just something some people do (others have admitted to the same thing ). But we're not stupid enough to actually do it, let alone blame it on a movie or game.

I have played GTA and I love the game. Nothing like hookers in the morning. However, I have never seriously considered killing, robbing, or beating the shit out of someone because my character could do it. I have imagined robbing a bank when poor, but it never got past the "I could really use 20 bucks right now to buy something to eat." Not worth going to prison or being shot for something as stupid as that.

It's stuff like this that gives Grand Theft Auto a bad reputation.

As someone who works on said truck I say it's a bad idea for all concerned!
