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 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 saw a car swerving in front of me on the freeway, so I whipped out my cell to report the DUI. As soon as it started ringing, I see police lights in my rear view and got slapped with a ticket for using a cell phone while driving. After explaining why, the officer said, "Nice try." FML

Today, I was driving home and got a phone call from my mom. She called to tell me that there was a cop at the bottom of our hill, and to be careful. I got a ticket for talking on my cell phone while driving. 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 was in my car and a cute guy pulled up next to me. He looked at me and smiled, but in order to be cool, I pretended not to notice. I also pretended that I was listening to music and was completely absorbed in it, singing passionately. I wasn't even listening to music and my window was down. FML

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

Picking your nose would have looked cooler -- because it's not illegal.

it's not really THAT hard to decipher what tarynkd was trying to say. i don't think it's worth being a "grammar nazi" here because they were probably just typing fast and missed a couple words. CHILL people.

Cell phone? 0_0 I thought this was still 1980. I just wasted so much money getting a car phone installed in my new Pacer. Woe is me.

Talking on cellphones is no more distracting than loud music in a car, or a passenger talking to you. Don't ******* say it's different, because it is not. People just can't accept there are shitty drivers and that sometimes shit just happens. And for the people saying she deserves it for looking around. It's called paying attention to your surroundings. She didn't say she craned her neck to see him, but maybe he was caddy-corner on a highway. Not hard to notice the way someone looks when you're glancing at them before a lane change, or if you notice a turn signal. Driving itself is multitasking, and many people are capable of doing it while multitasking with other things. Texting I agree is risky, since it means your eyes are off the road. OP is a ******* idiot for thinking it makes her cool, but not for any of the driving "faults" people here are saying.

Yes, talking on your phone is different because you have to take one hand off the wheel, while when you are talking to a passenger, you have the ability to keep both hands on the wheel. Same for music.
