Transportation, Embarrassing, Cars and Cops: Detained

Detained

Today, I got pulled over for speaking on my phone. I accepted the fine because I was too ashamed to tell the cute officer that I was actually trying to pop a huge pimple on my cheek. FML

Today, I was driving to work. I saw a cute boy in the car next to me. To try and look cool, I pretended I was talking on my cell phone. I got pulled over and got a ticket for using my cell phone while driving. FML

Today, I popped a pimple while stopped at a red light. When I looked over the woman in the car next to me was laughing, and had her camera phone out. FML

Today, a motorist yelled at me for texting and driving. I was too ashamed to admit that I'd been admiring the bogey I'd just picked from my nose. FML

Today, I got pulled over for distracted driving. Not for cell phone use but for nose picking and inspecting. FML

Today, I was driving when I noticed that the guy in front was on the phone. I pulled up next to him, pulled out my phone and I made a gesture that he needed to put his phone away. It was a cop. I got a ticket for driving while on my cell phone. FML

Today, I got pulled over for talking on my phone while driving. I'd lost my phone the day before. He didn’t believe me. So, I got a ticket for talking on a phone I can’t even find. FML

Today, I got pulled over by a state trooper for speeding. When he saw I had something in my pocket, he began to ask if it was a weapon. After arguing for a few minutes I was put in handcuffs. I was too embarrassed to pull the tampon out my pocket. FML

Underage boozing

By drunk under 18 teenager - 19/08/2014 13:37 - Morocco - Marrakech

Today, I was hammered, and on my way home I walked into a policeman. My logic was, if I'm on the phone, he can't talk to me, so I pulled my phone out and started speaking. The officer then asked me why I was speaking to my wallet. FML

Today, I got pulled over for speeding. I started fixing my hair and unbuttoning a couple of buttons on my shirt, hoping the policeman would let me off with a warning. When he got to the car, he rolled his eyes and muttered something under his breath. I saw him walk back to the cop car gagging. FML

*wouldn't 've cared. would not have "Wouldn't of" makes no sense.

That's also something you shouldn't do while driving because A. it's unsafe and B. it's just nasty. Wait til you get home to do shit like that.

Shoulda swallowed yer pride, mate. Ain't like you gonna see him again. Actually popping a pimple is still distracted driving.

sorry op, but ydi. to pop a pimple you have to take your eyes off the road. bad thing when driving. at least talking on the phone keeps your eyes on the road.

Why would you pay money just to avoid a slightly embarrassing situation? I'm sure you'll never see that cop again.

YDI. A couple hundred dollars isn't worth a 30 second embarrassment in front of somebody you'll never see again.

On top of this, OP now has demerit points, if he/she didn't before so now his/her 3rd party insurance premium will go up.

Plus, op could have just said she was scratching/rubbing her face. She doesn't have to actually say she was popping the zit to get the point across that she wasn't on the phone. She could even show the cop her phone and check the time of the last call made and prove she wasn't on it. Lots of ways around this op, and definitely not worth paying the large amount of money. I would fight it if I were you. They would most likely drop the ticket price in half (at least they often do where I live). My dad has fought a few tickets and gotten the price down by half.
