Today, I was pulled over because I looked like a possible suspect for a robbery. While searching me, the police's radio went off and the person on the other line said, "Possible suspect, 5'5", thin" - the officer stopped right then and murmured, "too short and fat" and walked back to his car. FML

Today, I got pulled over, not because I was speeding but because apparently, I looked like a kid driving. The officer said I was too short to drive and needed a booster seat. FML
Today, I almost got arrested. The cops put me in handcuffs without searching me first and told me that I "matched" the description of a package thief. Turns out, I didn't even closely fit the description of the suspect. FML
Today, I was pulled over. The cop stated that he "couldn't see" me because I had "blended in with the dark car background", and that it looked like no one was driving. I was literally pulled over for being black. FML
Today, I was mugged. I saw a cop car in the aftermath and flagged it down. Unfortunately, when the cops stopped the mugger, he said he'd been running away because I tried to mug him. Apparently the fact that he was "well-dressed" and I wasn't means he was telling the truth. FML
Today, I parked next to a police officer's car in a bad part of town. When I got out, I saw a bag of pot on the ground between the cop's car and mine. When I pointed it out to him, he insisted it was mine and interrogated me to the point of tears. FML
Today, at work, there was a police officer waiting for me. Bewildered, I asked what the problem was. Someone had shot fireworks at cars in the parking lot and I was a suspect. Why? Ponytails on men apparently look suspicious. FML
Today, I got pulled over for speeding. I started fixing my hair and unbuttoning a couple of buttons on my shirt, hoping the policeman would let me off with a warning. When he got to the car, he rolled his eyes and muttered something under his breath. I saw him walk back to the cop car gagging. FML
Today, I was at work when two sheriff's deputies walked in. They asked me my name and when I told them, they asked me to turn around and they cuffed me. They told me I was under arrest for robbery. Turns out I was mistakenly IDed, but now every one at my job thinks I'm an armed robber. FML
Today, as a joke, I hopped in the front seat of a police cruiser and took a cute selfie while the officer was talking to someone on the sidewalk. A minute later, he dragged me to the ground and arrested me. Um… what? FML
Today, the police posted a description of the car of a child abductor. As everyone slowed down to read the billboard, I realized that the car's description and license plate were very similar to mine. After getting death stares from passengers, I got pulled over. Twice. FML

#16--Right on. But that has NOTHING to do with the FML.

Yes, I'd rather be confused for a robbery suspect than be shorter and heavier than the actual suspect. where is the eye rolly emoticon when you need it.

@16 - Im guessing a lot of these people on here are on the younger side. A lot of them say "report it" or "sue" whenever something bothers them. They havent LIVED in the real world yet where you learn a) reporting things doesn't do anything but help your hurt feelings... and at one point you need to grow up and not take things personally anyway and b) sueing is SUPER expensive and 9times outta 10 NOT worth it. Especially for most of the stuff on here! Sigh #17 - 16 is right dude. So effing what - this person was heavier than the suspect. 16 is DEAD ON about ho0w society is teaching our kids that its not ok to look different. There are so many conflicting stereotypes out there that kids have to battle. Somewhere the line between being a healthy individual and being skinny got crossed. So now there are two types of kids out there. The ones that are heavily obese and the ones that will have eating disorders in the future. (I know, generalization, making it to make a point)

Oh no that's awful. You should probably sue the police dept. Sure it was a bit rude but shit happens. If you are uncomfortable enough with your weight that when someone says you're fat it bothers you, you should do something about it. As for the heighth issue, embrace it, no one can help how tall they are so live with what you've got dude.

@27 You can't sue someone for saying sonething you didn't like. And when the cops are in the middle of looking for a robbery suspect, it takes away even more of your credibility. And you're right, if you are overweight and uncomfortable you shoul deat better and work out. What is WITH everyone here and saying sue sue sue over everything they disagree with? Lawsuits are meant to protect your rights and safety, not earn you a quick buck and a slightly inflated ego. Again, suing someone is EXPENSIVE. Lawyers fees, court fees, paying the other guys fees if you lose. Do you REALLY REALLY REALLY think a judge is going to side with a plaintiff when the accused was a cop who was only saying they didnt fit the description?

#19 is SO right on. To get pulled over and searched PLUS being called short and fat - I don't know about you, but I think I would be pretty upset. #27, I don't know anyone that is comfortable with being called "too fat" or "too short." I'm sure even the tallest and skinniest of people are self-conscious. Only someone deaf or with a super huge ego can be called anything derogatory and still be comfortable with it. Plus, what if the author is a girl? Seriously.

To EVERYBODY ON HERE: Yeah, that was rude, and it's definitely a blower. I'm kinda short too. But weight can be solved through exercise. As for the comment, when a robbery takes place and they are searching for the suspect, an officer DOES NOT HAVE TIME for pleasantries! He has to get back in his car and hurry up to look for the suspect. Would you rather that robber kill 3 other people because the cop was too busy apologizing to you, instead of chasing him down? Huh? Exactly. Don't be selfish! If you want to stop being fat, then do so. Don't get offended if a person who dedicates themselves to the law doesn't have time to apologize for your OWN mistake!
