Kav · 13 January 2026, 12:00 FIRE! Today, the fire alarm went off at my apartment. I rushed out but forgot to grab a coat, so I hopped in my car and fired it up, figuring I'd wait it out. A fireman knocked on my window and loudly asked me to get out, then wrote me a citation for "improper fire alarm protocols." That's a thing?

ohemgee · 11 March 2010, 03:03 ·United States Today, I got a call from a police department saying that if I didn't move my car from a store's parking lot within the next 15 minutes, they were going to tow it and charge me for the fee. I was at work and the reason I parked it there is because it started smoking and almost caught fire. FML I agree, your life sucks 22 731 You deserved it 4 911 101 comments Share

My car was 4 inches into his driveway, but not obstructing his exit in any way. That didn't stop him from calling in, on a Sunday, at 8 AM, an 88 dollar ticket.

Tell her you'll pay the ticket when she pays for a new fire hydrant to be placed somewhere not in front of your house

She, quite literally, can do nothing about what happened. If she didn't want the ticket, she shouldn't have illegally parked.
