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?

Let's all assume any noise within our vicinity is directed at us. Who cares how angry people are? Keep yourself safe, twat. 45 and 51 got the right idea.

everyone who said YDI is a massive tool. 5 minutes means it is obviously broken, and you treat a broken light like a stop sign. he was right to go.

at least it weren't a woman driver. if it were, she'd have ran the light, AND caused and accident.

most busy intersections now adays have weights put in you probably were too far up, or too far behind my brother had to bitch out a lady for the same thing the light wont change until it senses the weight and knows that there is a car waiting

I think you all are focusing on the people honking part, when I think the focus of this FML was the fact that the light took forever, so he went, and got a ticket. Personally I do this all the time - if the light is taking way too long, I just go (provided it's clear - I'm not stupid). I think our traffic laws are too restrictive for people that are actually perceptive and drive well, so I will break them occasionally if I'm certain it's safe. This would be one of those instances. Also, I'm pretty sure you can beat this one - I had a friend who got a camera ticket at a light that wasn't changing, and he had it thrown out.

You're an idiot. First of all your first paragraph made no sense since the OP wasn't even in the situation you described. Also, are you saying it's illegal to go through an intersection when the light is GREEN? yeah...

YDI for being the dumb idiot for not thinking things through like they're getting annoyed at the lights not at you besides go at a pace that's right for you this applies to waiting for it to go red
