Today, it was my court date for a car accident I was involved in back in July. I had spent months preparing a case to prove my innocence. I was scheduled to appear at 10:00 this morning. I woke up at 10:15AM. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I had to go to court to see whether my driver's license is suspended for an entire year. I woke up early, went to court, and everything went perfectly, with all the charges being dropped. Unfortunately, I then woke up, and am now going to be late. FML
Today, I got a speeding ticket while driving to my court date for a prior speeding ticket. FML
Today, I went to court because I got a traffic ticket for running a red light. While I was in court, I found out it was actually for a car I had sold years ago. FML
Today, I got so anxious while trying to fight the ticket I got earlier this month that I passed out in front of the judge. FML
Today, I got t-boned while on my way represent myself in a deposition for a lawsuit I filed against my neighbor. The other driver was my neighbor's husband. FML
Today, I had to skip class to attend a truancy court hearing. FML
Today, I got a letter summoning me to court for leaving the scene of a car accident I had in London. I live in Manchester and don't own a car. FML
Today, after sleeping in, I finally sorted through a stack of mail I had been putting off and I found a Jury summons. Thinking it must be coming up soon, I checked the date, my appearance is scheduled for 7:45am on November 16th. Today is November 17th. FML
Today, I got in a car accident on the way to the DMV to take my drivers test. FML
Today, I had a rude awakening after a traffic accident the day before. I'd fled the scene to avoid having to pay hefty damage fines. I would have gotten away with it too, if my license plate hadn't fallen off and incriminated me. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

He didn't. YDI for failing at reading. OT: That sucks OP. You may still be able to plead your case, but now you'll have another case being in contempt of court.

Finnboghi - was that directed to me, or the other person the comments keep switching mine with?

Say what? That's directed at person who said "You do NOT need to say "AM" and "in the morning" in the same sentence. YDI for failing elementary school." Is FML putting comments in the wrong threads again?

Ahh, I figured. Mine reads, "YDI for not setting your alarm, or for sleeping through it." I guess it's switching between my comment and the one safirekatt posted for #4 =/

in a way, he did... "I was scheduled to appear at 10:00AM this morning."

This isn't contempt. Contempt means you've ignored a court order, like a restraining order or injunction. Nor can the OP still argue his case. By not appearing in court he's basically waived any defense he might have presented, and the court will enter default judgment against him. I think. INAL (just a first year law student, so I could be wrong)

#18, the OP states that it is in the morning (AM), but they do not say when the morning was. I could say 10AM yesterday morning - is that incorrect?

If this is supposed to be some kind of clever and witty remark, you failed.

what'd you think you were gonna get by posting this here? You want me to feel bad for you because you don't know how to set an alarm? I figured that shit out alone in the second grade, man.
