Today, an officer ticketed me for texting while driving. Apparently, getting dumped costs $180. FML

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

I mean, either way you shouldn't have been texting.

It could have costed you life in prison if you killed somebody.

There is no excuse to be texting and driving. You could've killed somebody.

Texting while driving is absolutely stupid and unnecessary. The reason we are being harsh is because being distracted by a phone has killed people. If you are driving in something that weighs over 2 tons and decided to text than you're a huge ******* idiot. When on the road your full attention needs to be on the road and not at your lap. And by the way, no not everyone is stupid enough to text and drive so don't say that most people do it.

I'm a cop. You are still looking at the problem wrong. You being Dumped didn't cost you $180. You making a piss poor decision to look at your phone cost you $180.

Thank you officer, for your input. I'm sure you've seen some horrible things in your career and I would like to thank you for going out every day to protect and serve while putting your life on the line. Much respect to you guys!

You should consider yourself lucky all you got was a $180 ticket. Texting and driving is incredibly stupid and dangerous. You're not only endangering yourself but you're endangering everyone around you. Your phone can wait. Killing someone because you thought it was necessary to check your phone whilst driving won't be excused because of a break up. To be honest, I would've dumped you too. You clearly have no concern for the people's lives around you.

They should tack on an extra zero to that number and take points against your license. Maybe then people won't think it's worth it. You ******* deserve it, you shitbag, because you thought a text message was more important than someone's life.

Turn off your goddamn phone as soon as you get in the car! Or at least turn on Airplane Mode. Damn! YFDI

Well maybe you shouldn't have been ******* texting then?? The **** is wrong with some people.
