Today, I got a ticket for panhandling to get gas money so that I could both drive out to a job interview AND still have enough gas to pick up my dad. Apparently, these particular cops had nothing better to do than harass me for standing quietly next to a freeway entrance with a silly sign. FML

Today, I got a ticket. From my dad the cop. FML
Today, I got a parking ticket while standing beside my car. FML
Today, I was driving to a gas station because I'd noticed I was almost on empty. Literally a block away from the gas station, my car broke down in the middle of an intersection, and I had to push my car to the side of the road, only to be questioned by police for "suspicious behavior." FML
Today, my minivan broke down on the side of the highway. I'm out of work and can't afford a cell phone, so I resorted to standing at the back of my van holding a "HELP" sign. About an hour went by, in which time I was passed by a cop car, a firetruck, and a car that said "Roadside Assistance." FML
Today, I got a ticket for parking "illegally." I was waiting for my handicapped dad at the airport and had all the required documents to park as I did while waiting for him. The cop didn't care, and now I have to go through bureaucracy hell to get it cancelled. FML
Today, I was looking for a parking spot and finally found one. Trying to figure out if the spot was legal, I asked a cop that had pulled up. He said it was fine. I came back 3 hours later to a parking ticket. FML
Today, I got a ticket for "suspicious driving" because my total shit of a mother kept tugging on the wheel to annoy me, and I still had to pay it. FML
Today, a policeman pulled me over and proceeded to flirt with me. After I had rejected him, he gave me a ticket for "not paying attention to the road". FML
Today, I got pulled over for speeding and got a $200 ticket. After I pulled away, I decided to warn the next car about the cop up ahead by flashing my headlights. The next car was another cop. He didn't appreciate my "help". FML
Today, being the new driver I am, I was trying to keep my speed at posted because I know that cops will target me. I ended up getting pulled over for my too-low speed and given a ticket because I was holding up a line of cars. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

If you have the money to pay a cell phone or Internet bill to post this then you should have enough money to pay for your own gas .... We are all in the same situation and can not spare to give you our hard earned money .. Take a bus and figure it out with out begging or money ..

You're* I know you're about to cuss me out right now but if it weren't me, some one else would've said that same thing, followed by loads of insults. :/

Panhandling?! In the same state as me no less! Get money the old fashioned way! Sell yourself! Also to #173.... Was 'litterly' supposed to be cute in some way I am unaware of?

Were you in Houston at the Time? Because the police down by the feeder can be unreasonable when it comes near the end of the month and have to meet ticket qoutas

You were panhandling at the ENTRANCE to a FREEWAY? Maybe there was really bad traffic and they were moving slow, but if not, generally at the entrance to a freeway drivers should be speeding up to match the speed of traffic, not slowing down, or stopping, to give money to someone. Besides not being able to find another way to get gas money, YDI for not being smart enough to pick a better spot to panhandle.

Regardless, he broke a law. It's the risk he took when he decided to panhandle. The police were just doing their job.

This doesn't make sense. How can you have a computer or phone with FML but not have money for gas? FAKE!
