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

...wouldn't not being a suspect in a robbery be a GOOD thing?

#30, life is upsetting; deal with it. In the end, the OP didn't get arrested; that's not an FML...that's a "Thank God I don't have to deal with this s**t anymore." That, and how the hell does the OP's gender even make a difference?

%32, "life is upsetting; deal with it" ? Then what's the point of this website? And gender, theoretically, has a GREAT deal in how someone reacts to comments about him/herself. Your comment proves your ignorance. Unless you're gay, then I guess I can forgive you.

"And gender, theoretically, has a GREAT deal in how someone reacts to comments about him/herself." Really, who is the ignorant one here? Is there some genetic influence I don't know about that says females should grossly overreact to being called chubby and men shouldn't? If so, show me the study; I'd like to read it. That being said #33, you seem to implying that this is worth filing a report with the police if the OP was a girl but not a guy. Sounds like a ridiculous double-standard to me. By the way, posting here is a more appropriate way of dealing with this situation than filing a report with the police or suing the county over blunt words; that was the point I was trying to make.

To the sender. That sucks. But when you're dealing with a cop who is trying to find a robbery suspect, the last thing on his mind is hurting someone's feelings. And to the people who said the sender should sue, obviously have no grasp on reality. You can't just sue someone because they hurt your feelings.

Oh, and #34. Calm down. I think 33 was just trying to say that women, in general are more self conscious about their weight and how tall/short they are then men are. Which would mean a woman posting this story on here would make a bit more sense. There was really no need to call anyone ignorant.

Almost everyone in America is fat. I'm not, but it's not like you're one in a million.

"Today, I had robbed a bank, And had almost got away with it. Another guy looked just like me, Only shorter and fatter. I was caught. FML"
