Today, I got pulled over for going about 88mph. When the cop asked why I was speeding, I replied, "I was trying to go back in time." He didn't like that answer and gave me a ticket. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was pulled over and was given a $300 ticket for going 90mph on a 70mph highway. The cop swore he saw my silver car darting in and out of traffic. A couple of minutes earlier that exact car had passed me while I was following the speed limit. FML
Today, I accidentally edged over the speed limit and got pulled over. The officer asked me if I knew why he'd pulled me over. Before I could say something diplomatic, my dad said from the passenger seat, "Because you're a prick in fancy dress?" I got ticketed. FML
Today, I was smoking while driving. A cop pulled me over and asked if I knew what I did wrong. I thought he could smell the tobacco, so I decided to just admit it. As it turns out, I was going well over the speed limit. FML
Today, I got pulled over for speeding. I tried to make a joke to ease the tension and said, "I’m just trying to keep up with the traffic!" The officer looked around at the empty road and said, "What traffic? Are you under the influence? HANDS ON THE WHEEL!" It went downhill from there. FML
Today, I was on the way to traffic court for a $340 speeding ticket I'd got. My mother called me and I wasn't paying attention which caused me to speed. Right past a cop. When I told the cop where I was going, he started laughing at me. I now have another $300 ticket. FML
Today, I got pulled over for speeding. After the cop asked for my license, he started laughing when he saw my picture. FML
Today, while driving home, I saw a cop with a speed gun "hidden" by the side of the road. I went to slow down so the fuck-knob wouldn't be able to ticket me. I then had a brain-fart and floored the gas instead of hitting the brakes. Hello speeding ticket. FML
Today, I got pulled over on the highway for going over the speed limit. The cop seemed nice, and I was sure he'd let me off with a warning, until my husband piped up with, "Didn't think you folks came out this far. What, the donut store got shut down or some shit?" I got the ticket. FML
Today, being the new driver I am, I was trying to keep my speed at posted because I know that cops will target me. I ended up getting pulled over for my too-low speed and given a ticket because I was holding up a line of cars. FML
Today, I was going 73 in a 55 on a country road when an oncoming cop passed me. He pulled a U turn. I turned off the main road and took random turns. I got lost, was 30 minutes late to work, and the cop still found me and gave me two tickets. I had to ask him for directions. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

@102 - You do understand that OP was trying levity as a way to get out of a ticket and wasn't using that as a serious excuse

@ 111 it was 88 miles per hour, and I agree! its the best movie of all time! You can tell who hasn't seen or heard of the movie based on their comments... Sadly they are missing out.

Marty: Doc we better back up. We don't have enough road to get up to 88. Dr. Brown: Roads? Where we're going we don't need roads. Wasn't the max speed on the speedometer of a DeLorean 85MPH as required by the government?

It was a good try. Sometimes you get an officer in a bad mood or who's not very lenient.

Back to the future is classic. The police man must have no sense of humor!

Do you have no sense of humor?

No kidding... I think part of the reason people are commenting this way is because they don't know the reference.

Agreed!

This really shouldn't even be an FML because he was caught speeding and tried to get away with it.

Pokeemon, nice name, I love Pokémon. RoeAllen, your profile pic is pretty. And OP, nice try, but your Flux Compassitor needs uranium to work.

Thanks, too bad I can't edit my posts to change typos...

The Flux Capacitor actually needs Plutonium.

>.< I need to rewatch that movie, so I won't make bad references to it...
WompWompWomp123 7
96 - you need plutonium, not uranium. I guess your Flux Capacitor isn't working either.

you're an idiot for saying it YDI

the best response is always a family member is in labor. GEESH!

You're quite right. He's an idiot for assuming someone else may have a sense of humor.
pedosmurf 7
You have to give him credit for having the balls to say it right? Right? No? Well then YDI

Although I found your joke rather funny, you can't complain on getting a ticket... :)

back to the future reference is at least a humorous response. Better than the typical my wife is in labour one

OP is actually lucky he didn't get a fine for reckless behavior... Depending on the state and the posted limit, you can go to jail for going that fast.

obviously it didn't work.... next time tell the nice officer "I was trying to avoid your worthless assholish self there officer!! (with a smile on your face!) At least it will be worth the ticket vs saying a dork-like-gonna-get-the-ticket-anyway answer!
