Underage boozing
Today, I was hammered, and on my way home I walked into a policeman. My logic was, if I'm on the phone, he can't talk to me, so I pulled my phone out and started speaking. The officer then asked me why I was speaking to my wallet. FML

No good deed…
Today, I called the cops to let them know that a drunk man was driving dangerously down my road. About an hour later, I was going to the store and got pulled over for speeding by the cop I called. FML

Today, I was driving home and got a phone call from my mom. She called to tell me that there was a cop at the bottom of our hill, and to be careful. I got a ticket for talking on my cell phone while driving. FML

Classic
Today, I pretended to be on the phone to avoid small talk with someone from my building. I spoke loudly into the phone while walking by them. My phone rang in the middle of my fake conversation. FML

Today, I was approached by a policeman who asked me if I was the owner of the green Camry. Turns out my parents decided to teach me a lesson for lying where I had been by reporting the car stolen. They also wouldn't answer my one phone call. FML

Suspicious
Today, I pulled over because my cell phone was ringing, as it's now illegal to use in a car. I finished the call when a motorcycle cop on side of road pulls up behind me and comes over. The reason? "You pulled off the road and it was suspicious, then I ran your plate…" FML

There might be a gun in the top, with a mysterious caller/murderer dictating your every movement. I use movies as real-life examples too.

It's now illegal if you make a call that is not on an iPhone

You hear a phone ring and it could be anybody. But a ringing phone has to be answered, doesn't it?

Guys. You don't understand. He was trying to escape the matrix but the agents found out.

He was clearly putting on his superman costume...

Or a bomb on a nearby bus...

OP was obviously trying to travel back through time to find historical figures so that he and his BFF pass their history presentation.

Seems legit...

Trying to sneak into the Ministry of Magic?

It was actually a suicide booth.

Nice!

Maybe he/she was a secret agent trying to get to CONTROL H.Q. Damn it! OP was only trying to prevent an act of terrorism. All is lost because of that nosey neighbor!
BoltTheSuperdog 22
Maybe he was about to travel through time and space with one or two of his companions.

I can see how it would look suspicious. Kids these days don't know what they are! Probably thought it was a giant bomb or something :P
hugozac88 22
You must have been holding the phone in a creepy like manner for them to call the cops on you
randomgalzbo 17
Yeah... Have you watched 'Kids React to Rotary Phones' on youtube? :D
LadyQuantum 7
I guess you were probably behaving in a shifty manner; hence the cops were called.

36 & 93: comment hijacking is rude. Just saying. 52: I haven't D: I must go watch it now. I imagine it's similar to the time my teenage niece found my old Walkman and wanted to plug it into the computer...

Payphones??? They still have these... I haven't seen a payphone in years. I would say you are up to no good, suspicious looking bastard...

What? They're not there just to look decorative?!

Maybe they thought OP was Dr Who. Phone booths were his favorite mode of transport... ;)

Police box, not a pay phone lol.

Just wait till people begin to notify the police about people "suspiciously" reading a newspaper.

Any son of a bitch who dares read the paper in MY town gonna find himself in a whole lot of hurt!

Hell, try making a call at all. "What's that? Is that like texting?"

It's 2014. That is suspicious.

So true, where I live every pay phone has been either destroyed, isn't connected or simply vanished and all that remains of them is the booth. God forbid you go with out a cell phone in my town.

83, it is like that here too! I'm always nervous when I don't have my car charger for my cell phone.
amisenho 11
True. Most of my poverty-stricken neighbors still manage to have smartphones, cable, and high-speed internet. You'd have to be pretty damn ghetto (or, in this case, suspicious) to resort to using a payphone in my neck of the woods.
