Today, I was driving on the freeway when I get a call from my friend explaining that our two best friends died in a car accident. I pulled over in hysterics and a cop came to see what was wrong. I explained what happened and he gave me a ticket for talking on the phone while driving. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was driving home and got a phone call from my mom. She called to tell me that there was a cop at the bottom of our hill, and to be careful. I got a ticket for talking on my cell phone while driving. FML
Today, I rear ended a cop while talking on my cell phone. FML
Today, I was driving when I noticed that the guy in front was on the phone. I pulled up next to him, pulled out my phone and I made a gesture that he needed to put his phone away. It was a cop. I got a ticket for driving while on my cell phone. FML
Today, I saw someone drive recklessly as if they were drunk. When I called the cops, I got pulled over by another cop for talking on my cell phone. FML
Today, I was driving on the freeway when I saw a car in front of me swerving across 3 lanes of traffic. Thinking he might be drunk, I dialed 911 on my phone, but I dropped it. I fished under my seat to get it, swerving, and got pulled over by highway patrol and given a field sobriety test. FML
Today, I had to explain to a cop that the reason I was speeding was because my girlfriend was in the hospital due to a car accident. He was working the accident just ten minutes before and saw me leave behind the ambulance. He still gave me a ticket. FML
Today, I saw a car swerving in front of me on the freeway, so I whipped out my cell to report the DUI. As soon as it started ringing, I see police lights in my rear view and got slapped with a ticket for using a cell phone while driving. After explaining why, the officer said, "Nice try." 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
Today, I lost control of my vehicle while driving. The car went off the road, rolled over, and ended up being totaled. The policeman asked me if I was alright and I said I was. He seemed relieved at my answer. Then he handed me a $300 ticket for failing to maintain my lane. FML
Today, I was driving to work when a state trooper rammed into my car from behind, because he was on the cell phone and not paying attention. He gave me a ticket for "Failure to control speed to avoid a crash." FML

If you are going to answer your phone while driving, pull over first. People like you have almost killed me while I'm driving on multiple occasions. You deserved it.

I had to vote YDI, for the simple reason that using the cell phone with driving is criminally negligent, dangerous, and the cause of so many accidents, some of them fatal. Having lost two friends in a car accident should make the responsibility of driving even more real. It isn't a right, and it isn't something to take lightly. You're fully controlling a two ton missile at extremely high speeds around other people. That sort of task demands your full attention 100% of the time. Even using speakerphone or bluetooth can distract a driver enough to affect their abilities. A few days ago I was almost hit at freeway speeds by a girl who didn't turn when the freeway did because she was busy using her cell phone. The dangers are very real.

Hmm... if my best friends died, I certainly wouldn't think, "Hey, this would make a great FML!"

kay wtf. it's not fake. the ones who died, they were my best friend's cousin's best friends. another friend of the ones who died killed themself because of the deaths. so to all you guys who said YDI: go **** yourselves. so sorry for your losses

Anybody who said YDI makes me want to shoot myself. If talking on a cell phone is really THAT dangerous, don't you think it would be illegal everywhere? She obvisouly did the responsible thing and pulled over when she became hysterical because she wasn't in any condition to drive. Deffinately didn't deserve the ticket and I'm so sorry for your loss!

wow **** you guys who are saying YDI because her friends dying doesn't excuse her from getting a ticket. it isn't like she went out and murdered 2 people and is using the deaths as an excuse. FYL and **** the cop for making your day even shittier
