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?

The arms of the law need to be strong.

The father was the one driving and speeding and HE was the one that got the ticket not OP. OP was the one who had to do pushups for his dad's mistake.

It may never affect ur dads speeding habits, ur instructor seems to be generous kind!

Care to explain why?

doing pushups is better than your father getting a ticket. the DI showed your dad some courtesy, remember that when you stop someone's family member for speeding.

That's a load of crap. "Remember that when pulling over someone's family member"? Yeah preferential treatment for law enforcement and their family is awesome. OP's dad deserved to get a ticket (the FML does not clarify if he did or not) and OP certainly did not deserve to do pushups on the side of the highway for something s/he was in no control of.

All that does is teach the father that he can get away with speeding while his son is in the car because he won't be the one to get punished.

I agree on the preferential treatment, but no control over the situation is nonsense. Op is training to be a police officer, to handle exactly that kind of situation.

not every person that gets pulled over gets a ticket. it's called discretion.

Wait... Did your father got a ticket anyways? Because if the push ups were the only punishment, your dad owes you money...

Wow. Basic all over again. Now if only you could smoke ( physically correct.) your dad that would make it better

That kind of reminds me of a movie. The old lady farts and the dog runs out of the room. The old man looked at his friend and says "when maddam passes gas, we beat the dog"

You should've told your dad to not speed. You're going to the academy to do that in the future after all. But it's horrible luck that your instructor pulled you over of all people FYL

How do we know that he/she didn't tell their dad to slow down but got ignored?
Shade1982 21
What kind of police officer would you be, if you let yourself be ignored?

A jump in training maybe?

Push-ups on the side of the highway? That doesn't sound very safe.
