Today, I got stopped by the fuzz. The officer told me he "could care less" about my excuses. He was probably about to let me go without a ticket, but my inner Grammar Nazi kicked in and I explained why he meant to say "couldn't care less." I got the ticket. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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 a traffic violation. Thinking I could get away with it, I spoke with a French accent. The officer then asked me a question in perfect French. I got a ticket. FML
Today, my husband and I were pulled over by a cop. He was still angry from our earlier argument over his constant freeloading, and when the cop told him we'd been doing 75 in a 55, he retorted, "Yeah? I did 75 in your mom last night, fuzzball." One more ticket I have to pay for. FML
Today, I got pulled over for a busted tail light. The officer gave me a warning and told me to fix it. Ten minutes later I was pulled over again for the same busted tail light by the same cop. This time he wrote me a ticket. 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, I got pulled over for speeding. I know that I was in the wrong and will take responsibility for that. When the cop handed me my ticket, he asked me if I was smoking crack. I denied it because I don't do drugs. He asked me what that foul odor was. I was passing gas. FML
Today, I got a ticket. From my dad the cop. 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
Today, I was pulled over for speeding. After a few minutes of conversing, he told me he didn't need to give me a ticket. He then asked for a date. I politely declined. After staring at me for a very long moment, he said, "I think I'm going to have to give you that ticket after all." FML
Today, while I was driving, a police officer jumped out from the sidewalk and into my lane. I slammed on the brakes so I wouldn't hit him. He then gave me a ticket for "obstructing traffic." FML

Ugh. I'd give you a ticket too.

Sometimes you just got to force it down. Sorry about the ticket.

Hey I think that at least you're fixing up the worlds atrocious grammar. I would've done the same thing.

See, this is what happens when you have a stick up your butt and always bitch people out for grammatical errors. YDI x 100

Now you see why I hate Grammar Nazis... Just look at my profile! I completely bash them... No need to be a smart-ass op!

While that would piss me off, as well, there are times to grind your teeth and deal with it... and if it involves the police, it's one of those times.

This would so happen to me, I don't think twice before correcting people when they say "no more" for everything, what they mean to say is "anymore"

It's not always "anymore". Example: "No more incorrect uses of anymore for you!"

You deserved it, but at the same time you were right with what you did! We need more Grammar Nazis in the world!

And when you go to court to fight the ticket, don't forget to correct the judge's grammar. I hear that they love that.

Any FML that goes along the lines of "I got caught doing something illegal and wasn't able to talk my way out of it" gets an automatic YDI from me.
