Today, I was mugged. I saw a cop car in the aftermath and flagged it down. Unfortunately, when the cops stopped the mugger, he said he'd been running away because I tried to mug him. Apparently the fact that he was "well-dressed" and I wasn't means he was telling the truth. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, someone tried to mug me. I panicked and ran. As they chased me with their knife out, I heard a slip and a shout behind me but kept running. Six blocks later I was spotted, arrested, and held for questioning by the police. The mugger fell, stabbed themselves, and told a cop that I did it. FML
Today, I got mugged at work. The sad thing is I'm a cop and was trying to catch the people who mugged me previously while off duty. FML
Today, a man tried to mug me. I actually apologized to him for not having my wallet on me. FML
Today, while going to work, I was mugged. On the way back, I was mugged. FML
Today, after volunteering all day at the homeless shelter, I was mugged on my way to my car. FML
Today, I got mugged. For an actual mug. FML
Today, feeling out of shape, I went for a jog. I got mugged. FML
Today, I saved a woman from being mugged, and stayed with her until the police arrived. At which point she ignored me completely, and thanked the handsome 20-something police officer for making her feel safe, like I did nothing. Ungrateful cow. Next time the mugger can have your handbag. FML
Today, I stepped outside my office building for a smoke break and I witnessed a mugging so I ran over to stop it. I succeeded in getting mugged instead of the original target. I then couldn't get into my building until a coworker left an hour later. My boss was mad and still doesn't believe me. FML
Today, I was mugged in a public bathroom. All I had on me was a plastic sheriff's badge, so I gave it to them. They laughed me out of the restroom. FML

Some cops are just judgmental people. Sorry to hear that they didn't believe you, hope they realized and got your stuff back.

It makes no sense to judge based on how well-dressed somebody looks though. It's easy to buy expensive clothes when you're stealing other people's money, look at any politician.

Okay, but who isn't judgmental these days? Isn't it the norm?

Doesn't mean it's right

Just because the norm is being an asshole doesn't make it alright.

Wasn't condoning it. Just stating it, but there you go judging me. HONY is a great blog that helps see the world from the point of view of other cultures and people that would otherwise continue being misunderstood. I find it lessens the asshole-gene in most people. Maybe you all should check it out too.

Is op black? That may explain some things

This is a bit confusing, if you was mugged how can the mugger blame it on you?, I mean if he mugged anything belongs to you (phone, wallet) you can easily prove it by asking the cops to search him?

The sad way this world works... So sorry for you OP!

Is the cop blind?

I think, rather, the cop over-relied on his eyes rather than brain.

Out with the racial stereotypes, and in with the economic stereotypes. It sucks OP, but that's just how this country is.

sadly, i don't think the racial stereotypes are going away anytime soon :/

Welp.

We shouldn't accept it. We shouldn't say that it will always be that way. As corny as it sounds, if we don't tolerate it, it'll happen less often.One group of kids came up with an app where you can rate your interaction with individual cops and police stations. I'm not saying racism and stereotypes can be eradicated, but we can create more laws to help protect minorities.

I'm sorry to hear you got mugged OP, but at least you got your FML published! Hopefully you ended up getting your belongings back though, FYL indeed

how is the consolation of getting an FML published supposed to make OP feel better about losing their stuff?

If you had posted this FML would you rather it weren't published?

Because sometimes, you just have to celebrate the little victories in this cruel world.

What if he was wearing the expensive stuff you had and he mugged?
DianeYoung 11
That's exactly what happened. Well dressed men never lie.

Did he steal your full wallet? If so have them look at the license.

That's not right!
