Not my best day
Today, I went fishing and the game warden stopped and asked for my license, only to find out I'd let it expire. He told me if I went and got it renewed, I wouldn’t get a ticket. On the way to get a new fishing license, I got pulled over and given a ticket for expired inspection. FML

Today, I was pulled over and fined $100 for driving without a license, as I'd accidentally left home without my wallet. I later found my wallet wedged beside my car seat, where it had been the entire time. FML

Today, I was told there was a bench warrant out for my arrest because a notice to appear for jury duty was sent to my old address and I never responded. I haven't lived at my old address for 2 years. FML

Patterned
Today, I went fishing with my dad. I figured, since we were out on the dock, I may as well get rid of my farmer's tan. I fell asleep in the sun and woke up to a fishing net draped over me. I now have a fishnet pattern down the front of my body. FML

Indeed it does.

it seems legitimate because it is legitimate. fishing permits/licences are there for a reason

Yeah you would expect most popular fishing spots to be marked with a warning or what not. If OP ignored it, YDI, If it wasn't marked, FHL.

25 - Is it not possible that he was fishing off a boat or private pier? I spend a lot of time fishing, on both public and private property, and I have never seen anything that says 'You must have a license.' And ALL states require a fishing license. YDI for breaking the law.

It costs like $10 for a fishing license. YDI for being cheap

yea rednecks r real serious about that stuff
tjv3 10
well you need a lic to drive and hunt too. if you do either without them and get caught they give you a ticket . if you don't pay said ticket they then issue a warrant for your arrest. it is called the law and laws apply to everyone including you , you twit. I guess you thought that the law applied to everyone except you? did you think you were some how exempt or special or above the law? YDI

People really need to LEARN to use proper grammar and spell correctly. Just makes them look stupid, especially when they try correcting someone for it.

Hello game warden! Did you know it's also illegal for kids to sell lemonade in the park unless they have a license or permit to do so?
pixelebrate 0
lolololololololololololol made my day.
sxe_beast 11
Yes, and those licenses cost like 50 dollars a day O.O. No more lemonade for a quarter. Its going to cost like 5 dollars per cup :|.
SpeechQween94 14
Holy crap! That's how kids earn money
justanotherbird 19
What state do you live in that a fishing license cost $50 A DAY? Here it costs $38 a year for any type of fishing for the entire year.
sxe_beast 11
It was in response the to the lemonade comment. I recently saw a story on the news where cops shut down a kid's lemonade stand. The cost of a permit in that city/state is 50 dollars a day or 2,800 a year (I think) to be allowed to run that type of business.
omgcookeys 15
you deserved it, killing fish without paying first. (sarcasm) they really have nothing to do with their time huh?
BlackbeltSubo 4
It's not about making money, fishing licenses are their so that whichever body of water you fish in is fished sustainably and not above the maximum sustainable yield causing fish populations to decrease to a level where one event e.g. a new disease can cause extinction. Essentially they exist so that every Joe Bloggs and his mother don't go fishing 4 times s week and therefore endanger the population.

well it is illegal

that's stupid. I speed storage 10 mph over the limit, don't wear my seatbelt, and have a light bar on the roof of my truck that I use illegally to get through red lights. I haven't gotten a ticket yet.

well whether the law catches up with you or not the truth is that you are an absolute idiot and you will get yours one way or the other. i just hope you don't hurt or kill someone other than yourself in the process. with that being said I call BS on your story. good day.

you know how idiotic you sound?? you sound like a jerky cheating redneck who doesn't understand that rules and laws are there for a reason. so, when a cop does catch you and gives you a nice big fine or what not, I'll be laughing.
