Today, I learned that several thousand people in my state got tickets this month for driving and talking on the phone. My mom called to tell me this while I was driving. I'm now part of that statistic. Thanks, mom. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
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
Today, while in the car with my mom, she gave me a lecture about how bad of a driver I am. During that process she ran a red light and hit a car. 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 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 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 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, 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 was at work when my mother texted me, "You take a nice picture." I replied, "What picture?" I then got a reply saying, "The one on your speeding ticket showing you going 73 in a 55 mph zone. You're even smiling." FML
Today, I got a ticket. From my dad the cop. FML
Today, I rear ended a cop while talking on my cell phone. FML

Your mother didn't make you pick up the phone whilst you were driving though. YDI.

Because he didn't know it was illegal to? Like it's been for the past quarter century.

Sure, blame your mom, because she not only called you, but she also reached over, picked up the phone, and stuck it to your ear to make you talk to her. That's what you get for answering your phone while driving dumbass.

Why did your dumb ass pick up the phone? What state do you love so I can avoid that kind of stupidity?

I think the state OP loves is pretty much irrelevant, don't ya think?

80- Not if Op loves and lives in the state of Denial, then it may yet be somewhat relevant to this FML. ;)

One of the great things about phones is that YOU choose to answer or not. It's not your mom's fault.

My uncle has seen somebody driving and reading a book at the same time before.

I've seen a person reading a newspaper while driving! Never would have believed someone would do that if I didn't see it with my own eyes. Insane!

I've also seen a guy reading a book while driving! It was insane.

Don't blame your mum. This isn't her fault. You shouldn't have picked up the phone.

Just because someone calls you doesn't necessarily mean you HAVE to pick up. You do have a choice.... YDI for making the wrong one.

You must be very proud of this achievement.
