Transportation: Today, as I was driving home, I saw a woman get hit by a car....

Today, as I was driving home, I saw a woman get hit by a car. I immediately parked on the side of the road to assist her. I called an ambulance and stayed with her until they came to get her, comforting her all the while. When I returned to my car, I found a parking ticket in my windshield. FML

Today, at a red light, an old lady crossing the street fell right in front of my car. I got out of my car to help her. The light turned green and I was still helping the woman to her feet. An officer came by and ticketed me for "impeding the flow of traffic." FML

Today, I was hit by a car speeding through an intersection after the light had already turned red. Still partly blacked out, I crawled onto the sidewalk and I sat down. The woman rolled down her car window and yelled, "Watch where you're going!" as she drove by. FML

Today, on my way to work, I noticed a woman on the side of the road waving for help, her car appearing to be broken down. I pulled over, stepped out of my car, went over to her car, lifted the hood, and checked it. When I looked up to tell her what was wrong, she and my car were gone. FML

Today, a couple of friends and I were driving around town and saw a lady who had accidentally backed her car up onto a concrete wall. Laughing, we all turned to look as we passed and I drove straight into a parked police car that had stopped to help her. FML

Today, I saw a bad car wreck. I pulled over and ran to the car to find an unconscious man behind the wheel. Another car pulled up, and a guy got out. I was relieved to have help, until, to my horror, he started trying to hit on me. I was stuck with him until the ambulance arrived. FML

Today, after I arrived at work, somebody crashed into my parked car and left a big dent. The impact pushed my car up onto the curb and I got a parking ticket. FML

Today, while driving, I got a call on my cell phone. Trying to be safe and avoid an accident, I pulled into the nearest parking lot before answering. While I was turning in to park, someone rear-ended me. FML

Today, I was in a car accident. After screaming at the woman for running into me, I got in my car and drove off. As I was driving away, I was staring her down when I ended up rear-ending the person in front of me. FML

Today, I was walking on the sidewalk near my house when a car pulled out of a parking spot in front of a speeding ambulance. The ambulance swerved up onto the grass. Yes, I broke my arm after being hit by an ambulance. FML

Today, I hit a car while trying to park. Assuming that no one saw, I moved my car and parked somewhere else. Hours later I get a call from the university police. While backing up to go to the police station I hit another car. FML

There is usually a process by which you can contest the ticket. You MIGHT be able to get out of it since it was an emergency.

#47 booring? first of all its BORING not booring... and secondly this is anything but boring, its a serious situation and the OP was doing a good deed and got punished for doing so. If you are going to waste you time and energy to comment something so juvenile don't comment at all leave the space for people who have good ideas to share with the OP. As for the OP I agree with many people on here take it to court and you will surely win.

That is so stupid, you should tell them the situation and maybe they'll let it slide.

I wonder if this person parked in a place that the cop couldn't see the accident until after he'd written the ticket. Also #24 is obviously a troll.

lol this FML reminds me of http://www.fmylife.com/work/1315 I agree # 24 = troll. **** you for being an insensitive asshole. I'd like to see you get hit by a car, have no one help you out, and see your story posted as a FML story only to have me say "YDI and guess what that was me in the car." to the OP: good for you for being a good person, but unfortunately no good deed goes unpunished. Life has a funny way of ******** on you. At least you did the right thing.

#24, you fail. OP, you did the right thing, though you didn't deserve the ticket. Still, at least you helped someone. ^^ The officer just shows how society is going poop these days. Gah.

You did the right thing, this shouldn't be an FML. Feel proud of yourself.

I agree with #102. This shouldn't be an FML because you did the right thing and you should indeed be proud of it. Try contesting the ticket on the grounds that it was an emergency.
