Today, my father picked me up from the police academy I'm attending, and got caught speeding. The officer was my drill instructor, and I had to do push-ups on the side of the highway. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was pulled over by my father who is a police officer. He was training a rookie and gave me a breathalyzer test to show his trainee how to do it. I blew a .15 and was taken to jail. FML
Today, I got pulled over during my driving test. FML
Today, I got a ticket. From my dad the cop. FML
Today, I failed to get my driver's licence. My father was the instructor. FML
Today, it was my first day as a police officer. A couple of hours into the shift, we got a call. A man was drunkenly jeering and urinating on parked cars. That man turned out to be my father. FML
Today, I was pulled over for a DWI. The police officer was drunk. FML
Today, my dad was teaching me how to drive. He told me that stop signs with white outlines are "optional." I ran through the next one I saw and got pulled over by a cop. My dad is making me pay the ticket for being "that stupid." Thanks dad. FML
Today, a police officer gave me a ticket for smoking. He told me that my parents would have to be contacted to come pick me up. My drunk dad came to the rescue, and almost hit the police car. Way to go dad. FML
Today, I was pulled over by a police officer because he thought I was skipping school. I'm 24 and we graduated high school together. FML
Today, I enlisted in the military. My dad now finds it necessary to act like a drill sergeant. This includes yelling at me everywhere we go to prepare me for basic training. Training begins in four months. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

it doesnt say ops a girl......

It's early morning so I probably didn't notice that it was genderless. Either way, still a stupid decision on the dad's part.

Lol some dads will do anything for a laugh

That must've sucked

i just noticed there is a quite a bit of "gonna be a cop" fmls. fyl op but a tiny bit ydi. if your training to be a cop you oughta know basic law and speeding is just that. if you told him to slow down, all that couldve been avoided.
clumsylobster 17
I'm inclined to say he didn't deserve it, the driver should be taking responsibility for his own driving
kerstileann 26
fair but i voted both. just my opinion.
letmehavemytea 21
In your opinion, how is someone else speeding their fault? It's not like he was in the same car as his father and knew that he would be speeding, and I'm guessing that he assumed that his father who had been driving for years would know and obey traffic laws. It's not OP's fault at all, no matter how you look at it. Unless you're expecting him to be a know all mind reader.
Polynomial 28
A mind reader, or someone that glances at the speedometer from time to time, especially if they suspect they might be speeding and are training to be an officer of the law.
kerstileann 26
The way i read it he WAS in the same car since he had to do push ups. i myself will tell people to slow down if were going too fast and im far from a cop, id expect a cop-in-training would do the same. You wouldnt want to fine your own dad right? And no i dont expect him to be a mind reader. it was just my opinion and you cant change that. i was expecting a cop to be more aware.
schwaka 17
For all we know they told him to slow down and he didn't listen.
kerstileann 26
it would be mentioned im sure
Mornai 32
Probably not, especially considering the small character limit for posts. I know pretty much everyone in my family would ignore me if I asked them to slow down, so it's hardly the OP's fault. I admit I don't know anything about police training, but I'm going to assume that if you're still learning to be a cop then you can't issue tickets yet, so there is nothing the OP could have done short of grabbing the wheel and forcing the dad to slow down. It may be your opinion, but it's most likely wrong.
kerstileann 26
1: thats your family, 2: i never said cops in training can issue tickets i just said it would be awkward to give your dad one, 3: **** you you cant judge my opinion. i never said my opinion was law just that its what i thought. now go **** yourself. some familys actually listen unlike yours.
YourProblemsSuck 2
I know if i was giving someone a ride and they told me to slow down, if i was only going 5 or 10 over i would tell them to deal with it. Hell, even some cops give you a little cusion like that. And kerstoleann- calm down, its FML, no reason to attack someones family.
kerstileann 26
im not attacking anybodys family im just saying some actually listen. and it doesnt say how fast ops dad was going. "deal with it" yeah you deal with the fine!
kerstileann 26
im not even gonna answer anymore you can all just go **** yourselves
KittyCatVargas 9
I could probably agree with this, well it isn't much his fault. It's more fair argument
Shade1982 21
@36: If I were a police officer in training, telling you to slow down and you would have told me to deal with it, I would have written you the ticket myself. Would you tell any other police officer to 'deal with it'? Why do you expect preferential treatment, just because he/she is your friend?
Haidy 9
What? She shouldn't have to tell him anything. if he is driving its his own fault for not taking care of his driving.

I hope the amount of push-ups you had to do was less than his quota
kinky44 28
You can't do a negative amount of push-ups.
teapotrevolt 27
Well, pardon my laughter but it could be worse!
Awesomeaxel 24
OP's name is slowly killing me.
Enslaved 38
You had to do push ups because your dad sped? Weird punishment for something you didn't do.
LoverWordsFood 27
Isn't that how it usually ends up when one person messes something up, someone else has to pay for it?
schwaka 17
Drill instructors are crazy like that, especially if he's ex-military. Mass punishment was a staple of the army, and I'm guessing other branches are similar.
thinblue32 15
It goes like this, you are in a vehicle that is speeding, you are allowing an illegal act to happen, you as a cadet are held to a higher standard. It's on you. Sucks but it's academy life haha
YawMoney 14
He's being punished for knowing better. He's a "punisher" in training

My first order of business as a cop would be to write my dad a ticket as soon as the opportunity presented itself.
weveallbeenthere 30
you would write your own father a ticket? I'm calling bullshit.

karma's a b*tch
laden_swallow09 35
That made no sense.
Zomg_Okay 27
Or would be if OP was the one speeding. OP wasn't, so karma doesn't apply.
