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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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
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
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
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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

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

Should have slammed on the brakes and busted that fancy car.

last i checked, it is still legal for people to smoke if they want. let them do what they want to themselves. it's not your body

Littering obviously isn't legal, however. So it's still YDI

#42-- It's also legal to punch yourself in the face. That doesn't mean you don't deserve it.

Nobody said you have to breathe...

152, Since you're of the opinion you don't need to breathe, feel free to stop. Theres only a finite amount of oxygen, and you're wasting it. 42, Odds are the guy followed him because the idiots ashes ended up all over his car/in his window. If it really was a fancy car, you can imagine how something like that might piss someone off enough to have a word with the smoking douchebag. Much like masturbation smoking is something you should be doing in your own home with the doors and windows closed.

@81...I have to agree. I completely understand that everyone has the right to smoke and do what they will with their own body. But when your right to smoke interferes with someone else's right to clean air, you've got a problem. Not to mention that the burden of your future medical bills for all your lung problems will ultimately rest on the shoulders of the rest of us. Just keep that in mind.

Seriously, OP should have reported him for tailgating, he's the one who needs to be fined.

What a troll! Hopefully, you learned not to throw your cigarette ashes out your window anymore, though.

As far as I know, you have to be caught in the act by an officer...

Don't get why you're being thumbed down, the cops can't give a fine for littering or anything else based on another civilian's word.

Tis' true.^

In the area I live the cops have a program where civilians can report traffic violations. They need to fill out a bunch of information though - license plate, description of car, description of driver, date, time, location, infraction, etc. I'm not exactly sure how the fining works with that, but you can get fined. Though for something like tossing a cigarette butt I'm sure it'd be a pretty easy ticket to fight.

You should have said there's a fine for tail gating too smart one.

Aw good for you, yes there is a fine for tailgating. Special little fella. Now try to think of things that actually apply to the fml and you'll have a point that isn't completely useless!

Sounds like a troll....

Tell him he can get a ticket for being on phone while taking a picture of your plates..while driving.
evilplatypus 39
We don't know he was driving at the time. If it took twenty minutes he probably waited until they had pulled over somewhere.

Makes sense..
