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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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

This is so horrible that it almost HAS to be fake. I hope it is. The cop probably thought it was, so he gave you a ticket. Fight it in court though.

I'm very sorry to hear about your loss, and I think the cop was very wrong in giving you a ticket. But I have a question. Why are you on FML if your friends just died?

For Heaven's sake, people, you all are acting as if the OP has committed a serious crime (like murder or rape)!! All it was was talking on the phone while driving. Everyone saying "YDI" is blowing this waaaaaaaaaay out of proportion.

Yeah, we're all acting like this is a serious crime, like driving drunk. Wait, what? It _is_ like driving drunk? Well, I'll be. Check http://documents.nytimes.com/documents-from-the-u-s-department-of-transportation-s-national-highway-traffic-safety-administration if you don't believe me.

Just because the police in some areas have deemed it to be as bad as drunk driving does not mean that is true. In my state, it is perfectly fine to talk on the phone if you are over the age of 18. I use mine all the time when I drive and am perfectly fine. I haven't caused any accidents and I don't drive in the fast lane if I'm on the phone (because of the tendency to drive a bit slower while on the phone and driving). Now, I would agree with everyone that is crucifying the OP if she had stated she had been TEXTING and driving at the same time. That, I would agree, is equivalent to drunk driving.

Your two best friends just died, and you're on FML bitching about a traffic ticket? This screams one of two things to me: it's either fake, or you're a disgusting person with horrible priorities.

#56 never said it wasn't an FML. Learn to read, and practice your English while you're at it.

People seem to forget that ALL FMLs automatically begin with "Today", no matter when it actually happened.

Good point.

So today, you misunderstood the concept that all FML begin with "Today"?

You're right, it just seems like no matter when this supposedly happened, the death of two friends trumps a traffic ticket every time.

You aren't getting why they posted this here... It's not because they're disrespecting their friends, it's because the bad situation they had been in had been made worse by an unsympathetic police officer who gave her a ticket. She made an FML about a bad moment in her life gone worse. It doesn't mean she's bitching.

What I'm saying is I don't believe her. In my opinion, it is disrespectful to even comment on a traffic ticket, when the focus should be on her friends. But that's just me. If this happened to me, I would be so devastated that I wouldn't even care about the ticket.

Well, shouldn't it be more important to watch your way than receiving the news? Besides, if her two best friends died, she would've known sooner or later. Oh, maybe not: she could've crashed, too. Well, I guess she was unlucky...

All FMLs start with "Today"

Whatever may be wrong with my post is nothing compared to what's wrong in #60's post.

So... today you found out your two best friends died, so your first move was to go on fmylife.com and complain about getting a ticket?

What a ********... Talk about a double FML...
SiLveRStaRLIGHT 0
... I would be devastated if that happened to me. I wouldn't know how to react. Pulling over would probably be something I would do too, and if a police officer gave me a god damn ticket, I would be ******* pissed off.
