Today, the police searched my house because my neighbors thought we were aiming a gun with laser sight at them. We were only getting our daft dog to chase a laser light around; we don't even own any guns. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I played a harmless joke on my neighbors by pointing a laser pointer out of my window onto their wall. Apparently, my neighbors don't take jokes lightly as one of the sons pointed at my window while screaming and swearing, then took out a gang bandana and wrapped it around his face. FML
Today, I was walking my dog in my suburban neighborhood when all of a sudden we practically jumped out of our skin (and fur) when we heard what I assumed were fireworks. Nope, someone down the street was testing their new AR-15 in their backyard. All perfectly legal. FML
Today, I was at a party when the cops showed up. They asked whether anyone had a gun, but I heard "fun" instead and raised my hand. I got searched. FML
Today, I found out that the 2 loud "firework booms" I heard were actually a guy shooting his dog on the unfinished road behind my house. FML
Today, the police came to my house and arrested me. Why? The neighborhood kids thought it would be fun to hide behind my house and shoot at people with paintball guns. People saw it coming from my house and called the police. I was fired from work, due to missing it without notice. No excuses. FML
Today, most of my neighbours came to my house in an angry mob to complain about my dog barking. I don't have a dog. FML
Today, my weird neighbor is a conspiracy theorist and thinks the government is trying to kill him. Someone thought it would be funny to shine a red laser light through his window. I was on the stairs when he ran past, screaming bloody murder, sending me down a flight of steps. FML
Today, at around 11 p.m., the police made a visit to my house, explaining how my neighbors had thought I was using a universal remote to change their television channels. FML
Today, the neighbors called the cops because they heard "gun shots". My girlfriend and I were popping bubble wrap. FML
Today, I called the police because I thought a burglar had broken into our house. I found out the strange noise was just my dog fucking about, so I smashed a small window and kicked down a door so I wouldn't be embarrassed. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Uh, yeah about last night...sorry about that. We really did think you were going to assassinate us with a laser pointer.

My dog loves his laser toy too. His is a green light though so hopefully I won't have any paranoid neighbor incidents.

Actually, green targeting reference lasers are far brighter and do not refract as easily over longer distances. I recommend them.

That's intense... Glad you didn't get arrested op... Your neighbors are a bit paranoid.

A bit??
olpally 33
And by "a bit" I mean "extremely" paranoid! Lol...

It makes you wonder why they are so paranoid.

As a police officer it is an offense to shine a laser at a police officer or anywhere in the same general area ...obviously your neighbors are not police (I think) so I'm sure it was the only lame excuse to come up with !

Also side note ...if it was reported that you had a weapon with a laser it wld be taken seriously given what that entails...but like I said dick neighbors !!!!

#21, Thank you for serving your community as a police officer. I've had a gun on me once; another time a laser crossed my back in public. ******* scary. If I didn't know the neighbors, I'd have called the police to let the pros check it out.

#53, (continued) And if the dog toy was explained to me, I'd visit the neighbors with an apology and explanation, plus dog treats and a plate of brownies.

So now an every day laser pointer, that is LEGAL to purchase, and sold at many establishments, are grounds enough for a police officer to ask to search a house? I don't think so. Like I said above, a cop comes to me and asks to search my house based on that, I tell him to go get a warrant then he can search and I then will shut my door and immediately place a call to a lawyer, so that I can get ALL INFO on the basis of what they manage to get the warrant on.

One of my dogs can't see the red laser. But shine a green one and she chases it.

You do realize dogs don't see color at all right?
ManInTheMachine 20
31-Bullshit. Dogs have 20% of the photoreceptor cells that humans do, which means they CAN see in color, just not as much. Do your ******* research.

Dogs can see some colors, It is proven.

Your fault for not asking for a warrant.

That sucks OP. I don't know about anyone else, but I don't keep a gun with a laser sight in the house. That's overkill.

Your neighbors are ******* retarded.
