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

I'm sorry. If my 2 best friends died today, I would still be in shock and grieving. Not going to a website talking about how MY life sucked, or is ******, rather.

sorry about your friends

that really hurts on so many levels. that guy is a douchebag...and people need to stop being so righteous about talking on the phone and driving. Beaides this fml isnt just about a petty ticket...its about a ticket on top of everything else. that law is really only enforced if the driver was already comitting a more serious infraction, so it's unfair. I am really sorry for you and your other friends loss. Just take it easy.

Well, regarding what else she could be doing right now, this may have happened a bit ago... "Today" doesn't always mean today. It's just required posting I think.

People need to stop being so righteous about talking on the phone and driving - it's really only dealt with if the driver was already comitting a more punishable infraction. People should also realize that this isn't just a fml about a petty ticket - it's an fml about a ticket on top of everything else. I am deeply sorry for your loss.

You didn't know why your friend was calling and shouldn't have picked up the phone in the first place if it's illegal in your state. That said, I am sorry to hear about your friends.

Seriously, is the cop an idiot? You *pulled* to the side of the road when you heard the news. You were not driving while on the phone. Therefore, the cop should not have given you a ticket. Fight that and you'll get it waived.
