Today, the driver side mirror of my car was smashed off and laying on the ground. On the window was a $75.00 ticket for improper equipment for not having a mirror. FML

Today, I took my car to a car wash, and when I got it back, one of the rearview mirrors was missing. Someone knocked it off and the management refuses to cooperate on who was the thief. FML
Today, my dad was looking for something in the garage and accidentally knocked over a heavy box, which crushed the new side view mirror I'd bought for my car, because the one my car originally had, he smashed it against a pole while driving my car recently. FML
Today, I had my first accident in 5 years of driving. I clipped a Ford Fiesta, mirror to mirror. His mirror is totally destroyed. Mine is fine. I was so stressed afterwards that I reversed straight into another car. FML
Today, I was stopped in traffic when a woman rear-ended me, backed up, and sped off along the shoulder, taking my passenger side mirror with her. FML
Today, running late for work, I ran outside and the door handle literally broke off my vehicle when I pulled to open it. I climbed in through the passenger door, turned on my car, and the windshield wipers were on… swiping a fresh $78 parking ticket across my windshield. FML

Today, I was pulled over and given a ticket for a broken tail light. On the way to the mechanic. To get my tail light fixed. FML
Today, I broke my mirror off going to the drive-through at McDonald's. Even the cashier watching was like, "Fuck, dude." FML
Today, I got into an accident, driving pretty slowly on a left turn signal trying to avoid a curb, sticking it out for too long, breaking a car's sideview mirror and causing scratches. The police was called. I have to appear in court for a misdemeanour for my first offence ever. Good bye student visa. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I wouldn't be surprised if he was the one who broke it off.

you probably should've taken a picture, but still try to fight the ticket.

They cannot do that if the vehicle is parked. I say this is fake!

Its probably not. I've known people where something very similar has happened. In maybe your area he wouldn't have gotten a ticket, but everywhere has different rules. Where I live even if you're parked if you don't have all mirrors and lights intact, you get fined

If this is even real, you could just go to traffic court. No way it would stand up.

I would take a picture of the accident, then go fight the ticket with the picture saying that they can't fine you for not having a mirror because you had no time to replace the broken car part before you got fined. if that's too much work... pay $75 dollar fine and move on. best of luck.

Idk where some of you guys are, but I live in New York and here even if your not driving it, your vehicle needs to meet all standards, including ALL of the mirrors and headlights/ taillights. I've known people something very similar like this has happened to who got fined about the same amount. FYL

That shit happened to me too. I took pictures of it and pleaded non guilty in court. Good luck.

Don't you have to be driving the vehicle to get such a ticket?
