Today, I was first in line at a stoplight. After five minutes, with a line of cars behind me, the light was still red. People behind me started honking, so I decided to just go. Halfway across the way, I was greeted by a camera flash. Nobody else went. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I spent five minutes waiting by a stop sign. The two cars in front of me were taking a long time to move, so I began beeping and getting angry. Turns out, these cars were parked and I was holding up a line of traffic. FML
Today, I was in a hurry to get to work. I pulled impatiently behind a long line of cars to make a right hand turn. I sat there for 5 minutes. Turns out there wasn't a line to make a right hand turn. I had been waiting behind a line of parked cars. FML
Today, I was sitting at a traffic light when a cute girl appeared at the side of the road. I sat and watched her until she had crossed, when I realised that I had missed the light. A large queue of cars had built up behind me, yet none of them used their horn because I was driving my police car. FML
Today, I pulled up to the stoplight near my house. It was dark with no traffic and the car behind me kept edging closer and closer to me. I finally got fed up with waiting and the car and ran it. In fact, it was a cop and he was trying to read my license plate because the back light was out. FML
Today, a stoplight turned yellow as I was approaching it. I was about to go through but saw a cop, panicked, and slammed on the brakes. I ended up in the middle of the intersection and had to reverse. Soon the light turned green, and I stepped on the gas. My car was still in reverse. FML
Today, I stopped at a red light, when I noticed the car in front of me was in reverse. I honked at the driver, hoping he'd realize and place the car in drive. He thought the light turned green and immediately backed into me. FML
Today, I was waiting in line for breakfast at the McDonald's drive-thru. After getting so fed up that the line hadn't budged for 10 mins, I pulled out of the line, only to realize I was waiting behind 2 parked cars that were just to the left of the drive-thru lane. FML
Today, I've only just got my license and waved someone through at a four-way stop because I was nervous. They waved back. We both kept waving while traffic built up behind us. Someone finally honked, and we both panicked and went at the same time. I stalled the car in the intersection. FML
Today, I was stuck in stand-still traffic for 5 minutes, before realizing I had stopped behind a parked car. FML
Today, I was stuck in the drive-thru line from hell. The guy in front of me started freaking out and demanded that I back out so he could pull out. I tried to tell him there were cars behind me, but that didn’t stop him from getting out of his car and kicking out my headlights. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I was in hospital for 3 months after a car crash where someone else ran the red light, assuming that no-one was coming the other way. Evidently these cars weren't honking at you to go. Next time use a bit of common sense. & the U-Turn idea is good, not exactly hard either ey?

Haha. You need to learn California roads, or so it seems....you need to stop right at the light, right before the cross walk, or the weight sensor won't know your there. Idiot drivers who don't know that are annoying

this is fake because the traffic cameras don't flash. I ******* hate posts like this where people complain about stuff that is their fault.

Maybe the ones in your town don't, but the ones where I live do. I've seen them flash. It wasn't me, and it was kind of a mistake anyways... the guy went straight with a green light from a lane that he didn't realize was a left turn lane when the left turn light was red.

well obviously you give into "peer pressure" easily. you obviously start driving when the light is GREEN.

Maybe they were just honking at the situation, not at you? Idk, YDI because you went knowing it's against the law. But, it sucks because the light could've been broken (there ARE stoplights that take 5 mins to change, unfortunately) and you'd still probably be the one to go first. Sucks for you, don't do it next time. Wait for another impatient asshole to go first.

You don't handle peer-pressure too well, no?

Next time just flash your high beams, move forward or signal for them to go around you.
