Timing is everything

By Anonymous - This FML is from back in 2012 but it's good stuff - United States - Metamora

Today, a cop turned his lights and siren on to pull me over. I pulled into a parking lot and got a ticket. It wasn't until the cop pulled away that I realized that I'd pulled into, and interrupted, an on-going funeral visitation. FML

Not your fault op. Who pays attention to where they park when a cop pulls them over? All you'd be doing is praying you don't get a ticket.

It's not your fault OP, when a cop tells you to stop, you stop.

I feel like I'm readin this differently thn everyone else. Funeral visitations usually only happen at funeral homes or cemetaries ... Both of which, you should realize you're pulling into the parking lot of. Funeral processions are a caravan of vehicles driving on the road, usually with each car having some kind of bright, neon sticker or ribbon clearly marking each vehicle and the front car having some type of flashing purple warning light ... Again, something you should notice. If people paid more attention while driving, we wouldn't have these problems. Then again, that's why myself and countless other firefighters and EMTs, or even police, are in immediate danger every time we're on a scene on the roadway. Because people don't pay attention, and they think their world inside their own little bubbles are the only thing that matters.

Most people look less than two car lengths ahead of them, even at highway speeds. Hell, people miss freeway exits with huge signs and even McDonalds enterances due to inattention. That's why I'm no longer a tow truck driver.

I pay attention to sirens and things and always pull over, but to be honest, if a cop was pulling me over I wouldn't be looking at what parking lot I was pulling into, just making sure I was getting out of the way of traffic. IMO, the OP didn't do anything wrong (other than whatever caused them to be pulled over in the first place, but then again, I got pulled over for doing 8km over the speed limit...) by not realizing where they were pulling into. I'm also curious though as to what kind of visitation goes on in a parking lot, unless he pulled into a cemetery parking lot and they were proceeding onto the grounds...

That is undoubtedly hilarious!! Honestly you probably gave some of the folks a break from grieving and either let them laugh or took their minds of the passing. So KUDOS to you!!

Well if it wasn't safe to pull over on the side of the road where the cop turned his lights and siren on then sometimes you have to pull in any parking lot you can find ASAP
