Today, I got pulled over, not because I was speeding but because apparently, I looked like a kid driving. The officer said I was too short to drive and needed a booster seat. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my parents told me that due to my lacking height and weight, I legally have to sit in a booster seat in the car from now on. I'm nineteen. FML
Today, I found out that if I were 2 inches shorter, I would have to sit in a booster seat in the car. I'm about to turn 22. 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, I was pulled over. The cop stated that he "couldn't see" me because I had "blended in with the dark car background", and that it looked like no one was driving. I was literally pulled over for being black. FML
Today, I got pulled over during my driving test. FML
Today, I was pulled over because I looked like a possible suspect for a robbery. While searching me, the police's radio went off and the person on the other line said, "Possible suspect, 5'5", thin" - the officer stopped right then and murmured, "too short and fat" and walked back to his car. FML
Today, I drove alone for the first time since I passed my test. I kept getting weird looks from other drivers and got pulled over by a cop. He said I was clearly underage and was sure my license was fake. Almost half an hour later, he finally let me go. I hate having a baby-face. FML
Today, I got my first speeding ticket. Looking it over, I was surprised to see that the officer listed my height accurately despite never having seen me standing. I complimented his uncanny ability and asked if it was part of police training. He then informed me that he read it on my license. FML
Today, I was learning to drive a stick when a cop decided to pull me over just to laugh at me. FML
Today, I was driving to work. I saw a cute boy in the car next to me. To try and look cool, I pretended I was talking on my cell phone. I got pulled over and got a ticket for using my cell phone while driving. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Apparently, "you must be this tall to ride" doesn't only apply to amusement park rides.

To be fair, you may just need a different car. I'm slightly above average in height but I have been behind the wheel of cars where it was difficult to see over the dashboard. I've also been in cars where the dash was so low that I had to scrunch down just to see the instrument panel.

Especially sports cars. I've tried several mustangs where it seems like I have a foot tall windshield to see out of.

Me too op :( I'm 24 and people tell me all the time I look like a child driving bigger cars, which is why I always stuck with small ones. I'm home for two months during a military pcs... My mom refuses to let me rent a car or get a bike. Instead, she's trying to force her H3 on me. I can hardly see out of it. Good luck :/

This is actually a thing. There's a code for it just like there is for corrective lenses or hand-controlled pedals. My Grandmama, who was only 4'9", had this on her license and was required to sit on a cushion to drive.

That's ok. the very first time I drove, it was just in my neighborhood and a cop stopped me and asked if I was old enough to drive.
