Today, a guy in a fancy car tailed me for twenty minutes, just so he could take a picture of my license plate and tell me there's a $300 fine for flicking cigarette ashes out your window. FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Same thing different taste
Today, while sitting at a red light with my window down, the asshat next to me flicked his still-lit cigarette away. It landed in my car and wedged between me and my seat. It burned a hole in my shirt and my seat, and burned my back and hair. FML
Chips
Today, I was smoking in my car and flicked the butt… into the face of a cop on a motorcycle going the other way. FML
Today, I was tailgated by a car with his high beams on for an hour. Any time I changed my speed or lane, he would do the same. I finally managed to get away from him because a cop pulled me over and gave me a speeding ticket. FML
Today, while driving I saw a police car riding along next to me. Thinking about the news recently, I decided to give him a quick thumbs up and a smile to lighten up his day. He looks back, smiles, flips on his siren, and pulls me over for not paying attention to the road. FML
Double down
Today, I was pulled over by a motorcycle cop for speeding in a 25 MPH zone. As the cop was walking towards my car, I flicked my cigarette butt out of my window. So, the cop did me the pleasure of writing me two tickets instead of one. FML
Today, a cop almost rear-ended my car, slammed on the gas with no warning, swerved around me, flipped me the bird, then cut me off and then drove a full ten miles under the speed limit. When I changed lanes to overtake him, he pulled me over for road rage. FML
Cool your boots
Today, the car in front of me was going slow and I flashed my lights and honked. I floored it and passed the car, flipping off the driver. Just as I went around the next corner, I got pulled over by a motorcycle cop. A few seconds later, the guy I flipped off drove by honked and waved. FML
Today, after driving a few hours late at night I decided to entertain the car tailgating me by not letting him pass. After doing this for 3miles, reaching 93MPH, I decided to let the car pass me. When I switched lanes, the car tailgating me light up in red and blue. It was a cop. FML
Today, I was pulled over by a cop and was fined $210 for making an illegal u-turn. When the cop finished writing my ticket and hopped in his car, he made the same u-turn. FML
Today, I quit smoking cigarettes. While driving to work, the car in front of me flicked his out the window, flying straight into mine. It set the bottom of my seat on fire. FML

You should have used that time to get his license plate to report him for tailgating

OP said 'tailed' as in followed. Not 'tailgated'

I'm guessing you'd have to get pretty damn close to take a picture of the license plate, so he'd probably have to follow her really closely. Following too close can get you a ticket.
evilplatypus 39
If it took twenty minutes and he was able to tell OP what he was doing, they had probably stopped by then.
Discombobulated9 12
That's very hypocritical. Perhaps you should tell the guy that there is a $500 fine for multitasking whilst driving and tailgating. People should practice what they preach; especially if they're going to be a tell tale.
guy24 9
Yeah, maybe he is a hypocrite. But does anyone else think this just weird for a guy to follow people around and trying to piss them off? He should mind his own business and stop worrying about littering biodegradable material... He obviously doesnt have a wife or anything...
downtime 13
I don't understand how so many people are having trouble understanding what happened here. The person was tailed until they reached a destination 20 minutes away so the guy could take a photo and tell him about the fine. He didn't take it behind him and then yell really really loudly so that the message got through...

Am I the only one who realized the guy in the fancy car was a cop?
SaltyBlarog 10
I know right, as I was reading this I was thinking, "kinda seems like this guy just got pulled over littering a cigarette"
ohmandapants 17
...an off-duty cop maybe. Don't assume. Some people are just nosy dicks.
drf94 1
I generally try not to assume. it just seems to me that the fine would be pretty uncommon knowledge for most. It seems to me like OP was trying to make "I got pulled over for throwing a cigarette out the window" more interesting. I very well could be wrong.
trollfaced 2
128- I knew that it was an assumption, but tailing someone to a designated area would be considered as stalking and that can be taken to court
XtraEzeee 8
148- A cop wouldn't wait 20 minutes for someone to stop, they'd just pull them over to give a ticket.
onlychildFTW 34
165 - Tailing someone for 20 minutes is not stalking. You can't say someone was stalking you for 20 mins. It's just not a long enough time I be considered stalking.

i bet you the guy following OP was driving a prius
micahsmommy 13
A Prius is a fancy car?
Pentium_4 27
nah, i figured someone who drives a prius is the type of green person that would take time out of their day to do something ridiculous like that. i guess some people would call them "fancy" because they aren't cheap
MrsDruidess 23
hey! That's a real issue where I am from, cause multiple large fires every summer, people die and homes, pets and wild animals are lost. All because some ******* smoker thinks they have a right to litter the ground as well and the air! OP should learn from this a use the built in ashtray or shell out 3 bucks to buy one!! And to stop any argument, no I am not some tree hugging hippy, but I have suffered the aftermath of some self centered dicks thoughtless actions.

112- I don't think death from addictive chemicals that destroy your body counts as living great. But I guess if thats what living great is for you, I'm living the best ******' life ever.

133- Great, so enjoy it and quit preaching
TheDrudgeChild 4
133 - Guess what? The sun can give you cancer, are to going to hide in a closet for the rest of your life? Diet soda has been linked to cancer, why isn't there pictures of rotting livers on the cans like surgeons general warnings? I can get thumbed down all I want, but you all are being hypocrites. And OP, sucks for you that there's a fine or something so trivial.
Beebow_fml 5
191- As far as I know the sun doesn't make me chemically dependent on it. And my first comment wasn't about some deep hatred for cigarettes. I don't smoke cigarettes and nor do I mind them, but living a great life doesn't mean death by chemicals that provide temporary relief. We could argue all day about destructive and non-destructive recreational drugs, but in the end they shouldn't define your life. And flicking ashes out your window shouldn't be reason for a $300 fine, I think the person following the OP confused that for throwing your entire cigarrete butt out the window.
DontModMeDammit 10
191, the sun also provides you with vitamins that are good for you, and to the diet soda thing.. Who the **** likes diet soda, that after taste is worse then kissing a life long smoker.
Incogneterpeter 1
206 people who are worried about how they look like diet soda but the jokes on them diet soda doesn't do anything better for you then regular soda
DontModMeDammit 10
People who are worried about their looks should drink soda to begin with.

Tell him there's a 310 dollar fine for being a stalker..pay the ticket then get mcdonalds. With the extra 10
friedchickenpie 14
...say such a fine existed. You wouldn't get the money. Example: I tell a guy he's speeding. I can't make him pay me a fine or write him a ticket.

#88, just to be a dick, it's you're.

Okay I can admit when I'm wrong you got me there
laden_swallow09 35
And impersonating an officer is a felony offense. Even if he was undercover, he wouldn't see any of the money for himself. That'd be bribery. Just a bad idea altogether.
AwkwardPartyBear 24
111- Just to be a bigger dick, I would like to say you forgot to put a period after wrong... and at the end.

134 If I wanted to be a dick I could say you put three periods after wrong.

Don't pollute the earth with your cigarette ashes
Nevereverland 8
Im pretty sure cigerette ashes are biodegradable(not sure if spelled that correctly) its the filter buds that we should worry about throwing away.
Zyriel 2
They're biodegradable too. Cotton and paper mostly.
elmousey 5
Plus they look so nice!!! Who wouldn't want cigarette butts everywhere?
TheDrudgeChild 4
They're tossing the ashes into the road, not the cigarette butts.
suitgirl5 5
Ashes are better to flick out than gum. Ashes are biodegradable, and quick, gum takes years.
cmb8280 24
Is this a joke? They are f*cking ashes, they disintegrate in the wind and/or rain. By this logic anyone who's ever had a campfire is "polluting". STFU
westzac 7
The earth creates forest fires on its own from extreme heat followed by a lightning strike, and that forest fire that the earth produced creates ASHES
Stiggy626 25
ashes are biodegradable. It's the butts that are not. your point is moot
thattxguy 0
That's how so many wildfires get started so yeah YDI
Cad6 24
Yeah, it's a real drag, and anyone who starts probably deserves a hit. It's amazing the way many smokers are led ashtray into believing that the possible evils of smoking won't happen to them. It's foolish, to create that kind of a smokescreen against your own, rational mind. Butt, continuing to smoke when you know that it DOES partially paralyze your throat, well, that's just scillia.
Michaelsgirl04 9
if there's even enough brush/woods around to start a forest fire. which unfortunately there isn't in a lot of places anymore. either way it's stupid to flick ash/cigarettes out your window. there's ashtrays in cars for a reason and flicking a whole cigarette out the window is technically littering
DocBastard 40
cilia* Sorry, Cad. Please don't tar my hide. I tried to filter myself.
thewife5 19
First off.. Most new cars don't have ashtrays.. Both of mine don't. Ashes don't start fires.. Butts do. And even tho I choose not to smoke, you all shouldn't be throwing stones. I'm sure every smoker knows the risk so get off your arrogant horses already.
Cad6 24
Doc, there is no reason to tar your hide when I have my own. I enjoy slathering myself in tar.
DocBastard 40
No no, tar and filter...like the tar and filter in a cigaret... Nevermind. Too subtle, I suppose.
Cad6 24
Ah, it took me awhile, but I only got that after I wrote my comment. It was in fact well worded, not too subtle, but the pun worked so well with your statement that it was hard to distinguish it as a pun.
gabe222 25
I guess ignorance is bliss. Not every smoker is proud that they smoke. Most wish the never started and preach against smoking. Hating on smokers only adds to the bountiful hate already existing everywhere.
imustbeinsane 2
85- I love how you just assume you're smarter than any smoker. I know 2 graduate students, one law student, surprisingly a premed student, and a guy that got a bachelors in mathematics with a 3.9 GPA that smoke (working on a masters). Get off the horse please, it's not about how smart you are.
tobedd 13
Anyone that complains about people smoking are "killing themselves" better not drink, eat fatty foods and be in perfect condition, otherwise piss off. We all know that everything in life is bad for you. Get off the horses. Side note: Canada in spring is wet do very low chance of forest fire.
