Today, my dad was teaching me how to drive. He told me that stop signs with white outlines are "optional." I ran through the next one I saw and got pulled over by a cop. My dad is making me pay the ticket for being "that stupid." Thanks dad. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I got a ticket. From my dad the cop. FML
Today, I accidentally edged over the speed limit and got pulled over. The officer asked me if I knew why he'd pulled me over. Before I could say something diplomatic, my dad said from the passenger seat, "Because you're a prick in fancy dress?" I got ticketed. FML
Today, my cousin told me that the stop signs outlined with a white line were optional. Later, a cop pulled me over, when I asked why he said, "You ran that stop sign back there." I explained what my cousin had told me and he looked at me funny and replied, "All stop signs have a white outline." FML
Today, my mom told me to follow her car closely to my aunt's house. I kept really close to her which caused me to get pulled over for tailgating. I explained everything to the cop so he went over to my mom to see if that was the truth. My mom said she didn't know me. I got a ticket. Thanks mom. FML
Today, I was driving home from work when I saw a cop come up behind me. Nervous about my expired license, I kept checking in my rear view mirror. In turn since I wasn't paying attention, I ran a stop sign. Needless to say the cop pulled me over and gave me 2 tickets. FML
Today, a police officer gave me a ticket for smoking. He told me that my parents would have to be contacted to come pick me up. My drunk dad came to the rescue, and almost hit the police car. Way to go dad. FML
Today, I was pulled over by a cop and was fined $210 for making an illegal u-turn. When the cop finished writing my ticket and hopped in his car, he made the same u-turn. FML
Today, I was on the way to traffic court for a $340 speeding ticket I'd got. My mother called me and I wasn't paying attention which caused me to speed. Right past a cop. When I told the cop where I was going, he started laughing at me. I now have another $300 ticket. FML
Today, I was learning to drive a stick when a cop decided to pull me over just to laugh at me. 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

The irony in YOU calling OP a dumbass, considering the content of your comment, is overwhelming.

I'm guessing they posted from a phone and didn't check their typing to make sure autocorrect didn't screw things up

I'm still having trouble understanding your comment, but all I know is that YOU'RE the dumb-ass. And it's you're, not your in that scenario.

I think her dad may have been being sarcastic and probably didn't realize her level of naivety.

If you were idiotic enough not to realize that every ******* stop sign you go through has a white outline, then you deserve it. That's almost as old as "pull my finger" and "does this smell like chloroform to you?"

Please. Don't start driving now. If you're stupid enough to believe something like that I don't even wanna know what other shit you've gotten into.

How can you be this stupid? And isn't the "optional stopsign" some kind of old joke anyway? This story seems very familiair..

You know I was thinking the exact thing as I was reading this. Wasn't there a prior FML somewhat like this quite a while back?.?.?

Pretty sure there was! Glad I'm not the only one who thought that!

Did you not read the FML? He was LEARNING how to drive.
GoddamnBatman 7
@200 Yes, I did read the FML. Yes, I understand he was learning how to drive. I cannot understand how anyone can fall for this prank. I thought it was a pretty common/well known prank, so it surprises me someone falls for it. It also suprises me that some people don´t know all stop signs have a white outline.

How could you not know what they ALL look like? Knowing you would be learning how to drive, did you ever look out the window? Buy a dictionary and look up "stop"... YDI for being a moron.

I think this is partly an FYL for being dumb enough to not realize that a sign that says stop actually means stop. Plus, haven't you actually observed other people stopping at stop signs? Why are you an exception?

your dad is a Dick however its also pretty stupid to blow thru a stop sign even if it was "optional"
