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

It has been scientifically proven that while cops you meet in social situations are "great guys", the one that pulls you over is always "a festering boil on the butt of humanity". Well, not really proven, but no one's disagreed so far. Sorry, just drinkin and surfing FML :)

Technically he's right, but what an a-hole. Although, you could claim you got the call so pulled over to take it, and then stayed parked while you were crying. Unless you told him you were driving while talking. If you're up to it, write a letter appealing the ticket. His boss may be human. Either way, I'm sorry for your loss, and that cop needs a humanity injection.

I think it was basically saying that on top of what was probably the worst day of her life to begin with, an asshole cop made it even worse by giving her a ticket (even though he knew her two best friends had just died; a lot of cops let you off with a warning just because of a good attitude, so this one was a real jerk to give her a ticket knowing that her life has just changed so drastically). If she had just said, "Today, my two best friends died in a car accident. FML." it wouldn't have really been ironic (like, "could this day suck anymore? Oh, apparently it can.") and she probably wouldn't have thought to post it. OP, I'm very sorry for your loss. :( &39, her friend might not have known she was driving, and even so, that person was probably in hysterics as well and not thinking clearly.
