Today, as I was driving home, I saw a woman get hit by a car. I immediately parked on the side of the road to assist her. I called an ambulance and stayed with her until they came to get her, comforting her all the while. When I returned to my car, I found a parking ticket in my windshield. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, at a red light, an old lady crossing the street fell right in front of my car. I got out of my car to help her. The light turned green and I was still helping the woman to her feet. An officer came by and ticketed me for "impeding the flow of traffic." FML
Today, I was hit by a car speeding through an intersection after the light had already turned red. Still partly blacked out, I crawled onto the sidewalk and I sat down. The woman rolled down her car window and yelled, "Watch where you're going!" as she drove by. FML
Today, on my way to work, I noticed a woman on the side of the road waving for help, her car appearing to be broken down. I pulled over, stepped out of my car, went over to her car, lifted the hood, and checked it. When I looked up to tell her what was wrong, she and my car were gone. FML
Today, a couple of friends and I were driving around town and saw a lady who had accidentally backed her car up onto a concrete wall. Laughing, we all turned to look as we passed and I drove straight into a parked police car that had stopped to help her. FML
Today, I saw a bad car wreck. I pulled over and ran to the car to find an unconscious man behind the wheel. Another car pulled up, and a guy got out. I was relieved to have help, until, to my horror, he started trying to hit on me. I was stuck with him until the ambulance arrived. FML
Today, after I arrived at work, somebody crashed into my parked car and left a big dent. The impact pushed my car up onto the curb and I got a parking ticket. FML
Today, while driving, I got a call on my cell phone. Trying to be safe and avoid an accident, I pulled into the nearest parking lot before answering. While I was turning in to park, someone rear-ended me. FML
Today, I was in a car accident. After screaming at the woman for running into me, I got in my car and drove off. As I was driving away, I was staring her down when I ended up rear-ending the person in front of me. FML
Today, I was walking on the sidewalk near my house when a car pulled out of a parking spot in front of a speeding ambulance. The ambulance swerved up onto the grass. Yes, I broke my arm after being hit by an ambulance. FML
Today, I hit a car while trying to park. Assuming that no one saw, I moved my car and parked somewhere else. Hours later I get a call from the university police. While backing up to go to the police station I hit another car. FML

There is usually a process by which you can contest the ticket. You MIGHT be able to get out of it since it was an emergency.

I agree. But that's so unfair. Take it to court.

You did the right thing. Complain about it, cause you had every right to stop considering the emergency situation.If they don't then punch the officer in the face... and write another FML while in prison ;)

Why the hell was the officer giving parking tickets when there's an accident right in front of him...? That's absolute bull. :/

Are you that stupid.. Cops don't give parking tickets.. At all. Parking authority does, cops deal with public crisis, which means they were at the scene I guarantee. Check your facts fatass.

Unfortunately they have a quota to make each month or they can lose their job. Either someone was being a real douche or they were really desperate.

I applaud your heroics. Fight that ticket you'll win. Last year my aunt got hit by an SUV which sent her 140+ feet down the road. A cop saw the jackass eat the red light and didn't even get out to comfort her just called the ambulance. She died the next day of massive brain trauma, broken ribs, pelvis, femur, swollen heart, etc. If I could I would pay that ticket for you.

At least you have the comfort of knowing you helped one in need.

Good for you, OP. That was really sweet of you. I'm sure if you fight against that ticket, you'd win.

Not only can you contest the ticket, you can call the issuing officer into court and have them explain to a judge why they were handing out tickets in the middle of an accident scene.
