Today, I got pulled over for speaking on my phone. I accepted the fine because I was too ashamed to tell the cute officer that I was actually trying to pop a huge pimple on my cheek. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was driving to work. I saw a cute boy in the car next to me. To try and look cool, I pretended I was talking on my cell phone. I got pulled over and got a ticket for using my cell phone while driving. FML
Today, I rear ended a cop while talking on my cell phone. FML
Today, I popped a pimple while stopped at a red light. When I looked over the woman in the car next to me was laughing, and had her camera phone out. FML
Today, a motorist yelled at me for texting and driving. I was too ashamed to admit that I'd been admiring the bogey I'd just picked from my nose. FML
Today, I got pulled over for distracted driving. Not for cell phone use but for nose picking and inspecting. FML
Today, I was driving when I noticed that the guy in front was on the phone. I pulled up next to him, pulled out my phone and I made a gesture that he needed to put his phone away. It was a cop. I got a ticket for driving while on my cell phone. FML
Today, I got pulled over for talking on my phone while driving. I'd lost my phone the day before. He didn’t believe me. So, I got a ticket for talking on a phone I can’t even find. FML
Today, I got pulled over by a state trooper for speeding. When he saw I had something in my pocket, he began to ask if it was a weapon. After arguing for a few minutes I was put in handcuffs. I was too embarrassed to pull the tampon out my pocket. FML
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
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

I was thinking the same thing.. She is distracting herself from driving. Still dangerous!
tygerarmy 35
Yeah, depending how aggressively she was going after it. It's also dangerous for her wallet and driving record.

It's just dangerous in general; however, in some states, like Florida, you can talk and call using your phone, but you still can't text. However, it is a secondary offense, so they can't pull us over if we are texting alone. Only if we break another law, like speeding, can we be punished for texting. So texting and driving is pretty prevalent here. So many bad drivers. :(

How could he have confused that? Hopefully the ticket isn't too much :(

A hand up by the face is a pretty universal sign of talking on the phone. Of all the places to to pop a pimple, driving a car isn't really one. I'm not sure of the ordinance in Australia, but you'd probably still be ticketed here in the U.S. for negligence. Unless the officer is nice, which most of them are.

How do you even pop a pimple with your phone? You should make a youtube tutorial OP!
Noah197099 17
Or maybe her popping a pimple made it look like she was on her phone...
bethrh 49
They weren't using their phone... It just looked like they were holding a phone to their ear

I can't even think of a reply to this...

Then why did you reply? Lol

#3: Re-read the FML more carefully. She didn't use her phone to pop a pimple. She used her hand, and the cop thought she was on her phone when she wasn't

Geez, it was sarcasm ..
CrAzYELF4 26
It was a joke guys.
rocketgurl 15
No it was just inattentiveness

A guy in Australia almost copped a fine for talking on his phone while driving, he wasn't on his phone..... He was actually picking in his ear. When you have your hand next to your face, it looks like you're on the phone

I laughed at least; surprised so many people took that seriously.

Finally, thank you.

That happended to me one time
nickaa827 13
I'm sure it did.
Purexinsanity 46
Did you at least end up popping it?
bethrh 49
Surely he should have wondered how the phone miraculously disappeared
meli1195 31
he probably thought OP threw it somewhere to hide it
hailzz_96 18
Who continues to talk on their phone after getting pulled over? I mean you have a good 2 minutes to put the phone down and out of sight while the officer is getting out of his car and coming to yours

Most cars have mirrors in the sun blocker. Why use her phone?

#23: She wasn't using her phone. It just looked like she was using her phone

She was probably just touching her face while looking at the road, not actually squeezing it but just rubbing at it. I don't see why everyone is saying this is incredibly dangerous. She probably never took her eyes off the road. Unless of course she was using both hands and looking in the mirror, then it's definitely dangerous and a ydi.
skellingtonfart 18
The post literally says "trying to pop", she wasn't just "rubbing" it, read before you comment! ... Although it doesn't really add up, if she was trying to pop it, she'd be using both hands unless (then she deserved the fine) she overdramatised the post and she really was just touching it with a single hand. I'm over-thinking this, I think it's time for bed.
tdawg91 17
Popping a pimple with one hand must be a rare skill, one that I'm not so proud to possess, if you have decent length nails then you can just do it with your thumb and pointer finger, the same as if you were picking at something and you don't need to take your eyes off the road while you do it, you can feel it

#50 not that hard to pop one handed. I have keratosis pilaris (basically thousands of pimples all over my skin) and i pop the ones on my arms all the time.
Hummmph 8
Like you never took a pick at your nose whilst driving... You deserve a shame on you.
Mitchellbassists 29
The officer wouldn't care, he has probably seen much more embarrassing things! YDI
dreamful_artist 14
Why would you even attempt that?
FelixJC 14
Still, regardless of whether there was a phone involved, since the officer pulled you over, it's safe to assume you were driving. Focusing on anything but the road when driving is dangerous, so I'm gonna have to say you deserve it.
JBrownie123 24
I'm amazed you were the first person to say it. I wouldn't ever try multitasking like that while driving because I'm too scared to take my hands off the wheel.
militarybrat 21
Popping a pimple doesnt take much brain power, in fact most people do it absent mindedly. Im sure changing the radio station is far more dangerous.
JBrownie123 24
Two hands should be on the wheel at all times unless changing gear. Irresponsible to take your hands off. My dad has spun off of the road for absentmindedly scratching while it was rainy and dark.
