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 was on the way to traffic court for a $340 speeding ticket I'd got. My mother called me and I wasn't paying attention which caused me to speed. Right past a cop. When I told the cop where I was going, he started laughing at me. I now have another $300 ticket. FML

just because it's a breakup text doesn't mean it's a freebie.

Dumbass, texting and driving has been illegal for years, they don't give a damn if you got dumped

No. It costs $180 to text and drive. It does not matter what the text was saying. You shouldn't have been looking at your phone at all.

Getting dumped is free. Being negligent on the road cost you $180.00. Next time pull your vehicle over to check your phone or your next FML will be you sitting in a jail cell awaiting trial for manslaughter.

Not really sympathetic here. No matter when during your drive you looked at your phone and texted, that is very unsafe. You could have killed someone, or yourself!

Today, I thought it would be funny to go on my boyfriend's Facebook to change his status. While in the process, his account received a message. Turns out he's planning on hooking up with his ex-girlfriend/one of my friends and is definitely over me. How's that for snooping around? FML

Today, I caught a man screwing my girlfriend in my house so I lost my temper and hit him right in the jaw. He wasn’t hurt, not even a bruise. I meanwhile have a broken finger and a sprained wrist because, as he put it, “You really don’t know how to throw a punch, like… at all.” FML

Today, while I was at work, my kids had the great idea to make chocolate milk. My husband had the great idea not to clean up the chocolate mix the kids spilled, so the floor got covered in chocolate footprints. The cat then had the great idea to step in the mix, and cover everything else in chocolate paw prints. FML
