Today, I was pulled over by a police officer for speeding. After writing the ticket, he asked me why I was wearing a surgical mask. I told him that swine flu was found in our area and I was scared. He thought that I was insulting him and wrote me another ticket. FML

Today, a policeman pulled me over and proceeded to flirt with me. After I had rejected him, he gave me a ticket for "not paying attention to the road". FML

Today, I had to explain to a cop that the reason I was speeding was because my girlfriend was in the hospital due to a car accident. He was working the accident just ten minutes before and saw me leave behind the ambulance. He still gave me a ticket. FML

Today, I got pulled over by a state trooper for speeding. When he saw I had something in my pocket, he began to ask if it was a weapon. After arguing for a few minutes I was put in handcuffs. I was too embarrassed to pull the tampon out my pocket. FML

Today, I was pulled over by a motorcycle cop for speeding in a 25 MPH zone. As the cop was walking towards my car, I flicked my cigarette butt out of my window. So, the cop did me the pleasure of writing me two tickets instead of one. FML

Today, while I was driving, a police officer jumped out from the sidewalk and into my lane. I slammed on the brakes so I wouldn't hit him. He then gave me a ticket for "obstructing traffic." FML

Today, I got pulled over for speeding. I know that I was in the wrong and will take responsibility for that. When the cop handed me my ticket, he asked me if I was smoking crack. I denied it because I don't do drugs. He asked me what that foul odor was. I was passing gas. FML

Today, I got pulled over for speeding. I started fixing my hair and unbuttoning a couple of buttons on my shirt, hoping the policeman would let me off with a warning. When he got to the car, he rolled his eyes and muttered something under his breath. I saw him walk back to the cop car gagging. FML

Today, I got pulled over for speeding. I tried to make a joke to ease the tension and said, "I’m just trying to keep up with the traffic!" The officer looked around at the empty road and said, "What traffic? Are you under the influence? HANDS ON THE WHEEL!" It went downhill from there. FML

Today, I got pulled over for speeding and got a $200 ticket. After I pulled away, I decided to warn the next car about the cop up ahead by flashing my headlights. The next car was another cop. He didn't appreciate my "help". FML

I'm guessing you actually said "pig flu", not "swine flu", didn't you?

Hilarious. I know a guy who has believed for over three years now that bird flu will bring the end of the world. Soon as I saw the news I sent him a message saying OMG - flu outbreak and this one's got ur name on it!

How the hell did the cop even infer any kind of insult in "I'm scared of swine flu" ?? Definitely contest the second ticket. Cops can't give you a ticket for being insulting unless you made a clear, aggressive verbal attack using hateful langauge. Things like that are why I can't stand cops. So many of them just love going on power trips. #92, #96, and the rest of you who think swine flu in the US is stupid - It's not. There are cases of the flu reported in the US, including places like New York City. Just because it's unlikely for the flu to have originated in the US doesn't mean that it can't be spread by people who traveled from Mexico, etc and then brought the flu with them to the US.

Just so you guys know the whole reason people wear surgical masks is so you can't touch your mouth/nose after you've come into contact with a virus. Obviously it's not going to stop a virus from going through. It's like chicken wire to a virus...they have no problem getting through. Anyway, that cop is a jerk and you should definitely fight that ticket. I hate it when cops abuse their power like that.

Bwahahaha! I can totally see this happening. Yeah, everyone who works here at the computer lab is wearing a surgical mask now, I think they're required too. You probably live near one of the outbreaks, like I do. It's actually a very prudent precaution. Wow, has that cop been living under a rock or what? But if it wasn't for the swine flu situation then that actually would have been a pretty clever insult... ^_^ But yeah, FYL for sure!
