Today, while trying to sleep, I kept hearing this groan/scream for help for about an hour. I decided to call 911 to send someone to investigate. Police came, I received a $100 parking fine and another citation for improper use of 911. The noise? Just a dog howling. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was off from school because of an extremely bad barking cough. My neighbours called the police because apparently my cough sounds like someone torturing an animal. FML
Today, I found out that my dog likes to howl when he hears sirens. I live next to the fire station. FML
Today, I yelled at my dog for waking me up growling and barking out the window. He was doing it at the person stealing my car. FML
Today, the police knocked on my door, saying that they needed to investigate my house for animal abuse. Apparently the neighbours called, reporting a "screeching bird in pain". I have no bird, but I have been singing quite loudly recently. FML
Today, I was woken up by my neighbour's dog losing its mind, and I remembered reading a story about someone ignoring a dog and later finding out that their car had been stolen. Paranoid, I went outside to check on mine. Nope. Just the damn dog barking at one thirty in the morning. FML
Today, I received a $500 fine for an "unruly" dog. I don't have a dog. 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
Today, I was pissed that I got a £60 parking ticket so rang my friend to rant about it. I then got pulled over by the cops for using my phone, and was fined £120. FML
Today, I was threatened with arrest for refusing to accept a citation for having a dog off leash in a park. It wasn’t my fucking dog! It was a very friendly stray that started following me on my morning walk. I tried to explain myself but the dog wouldn’t leave my side or stop barking at the cop. FML
Today, as I was going to check the mail, a huge dog ran into my house. The closest room with a door was the bathroom so I slammed myself inside and screamed for help. We live far from any neighbors and my phone was outside, so there was no hope of rescue. It paced outside the door for four hours. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

So you thought it was an actual person and let said "person" scream for help for an HOUR!? You deserve a lot more than 2 citations. Way to help the human race. I hope I'm never in trouble with you around.

Next time get a boot and throw it at the dog. Saves you time and you might kill the dog, thus solving the problem.

You're a lazy ass bum for hearing someone calling for help for over an hour and not doing anything about it.

Reading stupid message of utter laziness, check. Checking wether poster is from America, check. Maybe it's better to specify that Texas is indeed more likely, but seriously. Get off your lazy ass and go check it out for a bit, Calling cops to get out of their bed to investigate on something that's happening beneath your bedroom window most likely is just stupid, and then complain.

You deserve(d) it. As in "If you call the cops on a howling dog, and get a ticket, you deserve it.

If someone was actually in trouble, the correct first thing to do WOULD be to call the police. But waiting an hour to do it is pathetic. Next time you think someone is in trouble, be quicker.

Why would you wait an hour before calling someone?

Next time call the police non-emergency number.

I'm more concerned that you waited an HOUR to call 911 when you thought someone was crying for help?

Fake, wouldn't happen... if you felt that there was an emergency and thier investigation said otherwise, there is no way you'd get an improper use of 911 cite... embelish much?
