Uhhh, there is no cab….. just a police car. The lights on the top and the POLICE on the back kinda give it away. What I think we have here is a common case of the stupidity fail
After 17 years of law enforcement and sitting in that car for more than half of it I can say that being a cop is 99% pure boredom and 1% pure hell! I use to play Age of Empire on my laptop and solitaire just to stay awake!
It looks at this officer is probably sitting on an accident or construction just being seen. What do most people that work in an office do in their downtime? Play on the computer right?
If you have a question you’d like to ask a cop hit me up and I’ll do my best to answer it.
Well if he was looking on failblog, and later saw himself on failblog looking on failblog, I believe the universe would implode in on itself. (Murphy’s first law of space-time paradoxes)
You’re right. It was Neil’s song. Johnny did do a cover, though.
So did the Finnish rock band HIM, formerly known as “His Infernal Majesty”
(sounds like somebody fell into a ring of fire).
I don’t know if this is so much a fail. I mean it looks like he is just sitting outside a construction zone in order to get people to slow down. They do this all the time in Pennsylvania. Their not really in a position to pull someone over, and yet people will dramatically slow down when they see a cop.
So if this is the case what else is he supposes to do? It’s either solitaire or sleep and I am sure they would rather have him awake.
The fail is that cops get paid more for doing subcontracted contsruction jobs than doing their job. But I see what you mean, I sit in my office and failblog all day and I still get paid.
I remember years ago working a drive-thru, had a cop pull up and he was watching pirated movies on his laptop. I knew it was pirated because it had the timecode on the bottom of the screen, and the movie was still in theaters…
Badgers wreak havoc on select-fire weapons, especially Soviet-block varieties; they’re ALWAYS chewing up the wood.
Therefore, I do believe that an AR-15 would, indeed, be an appropriate choice.
I swear, that’s my neighbors dog’ not mine! And it insisted on the vide… oh crap. I mean the video is of me and the, ah, Moomins. Yeah that’s it… playing, ah, Frisbee, with the dead dog.
The fail here is not that he’s playing solitare, which is the best time waster free for 500 yen, but that he’s using Windows Vista. Or if you’re the cynical, everybody-should-only-have-fun-after-work kinda person, there’s two fails…the one being you.
That happens every once in a while. The idea being it’s for further info or other funny things. If you don’t appreciate it, then simply don’t click on the link. It’s really quite simple.
Wait a minute, it looks like he has Solitare pulled up over something else!
“Hmmm, while I wait for this description to be matched, I think I’ll play some Solitare!”
Why can’t I get away with doing this at work lol I can’t believe someone caught this, so hilarious. This is where your tax dollars are going people, solitaire..
Everyone wants to tell the cop how to do his job,but very few have the courage to wear the uniform.Playing solitaire doesn’t prevent him from exiting his vehicle and kicking butt when you get your little pansy self into trouble & can’t protect yourself.
Actually, it’s not unusual for patrol to be allowed to do ‘whatever’ on their dashboards, as long as it’s not illegal (i.e. download pirated media) or truly profane. Otherwise, they can surf the internet and aim if they want. POLICE WIN!
Actually, the cops are playing solitaire. A one player game, so I know they are not playing internet cards together or something…look closely, their screens are exactly the same with the same shadow at the bottom left corner of the screen. Photoshop anyone?
Thats nothing I once walked by a cop car near my street at night And there was alot of flashing coming from the computer monitor. When I walked past I looked back and saw the cop was playing Counter-Strike…
I’ve seen my local town’s cop on AIM and Facebook and a different officer was watching Old School, this isn’t nearly as bad as that. By the way our town doesn’t even have a stop light or a gas station, I can’t blame them for being bored.
Bad boy. Watcha gonna do.
82 to Dispatch, anybody there got a five of clubs?
Nope. Just a billy club. Will that do?
Someone just stole my nine diamonds.
Must have been that queen in the red dress.
What a bunch of jokers.
Ten – four.
I just got Jacked!
Must have been an ace thief.
No he was a queen
What the Deuce???
By Jove, he’s a knave!
you mean… JOKER!
This cop is a real card.
I wonder if he aced his combat tests? Or did he jack another one’s answers?
Maybe he was the class joker.
In the ace?
I wish it snowed in Australia, sun is the ghey
Quite off topic, but I’ll agree. There’s no snow in Hawaii either. Just a lot of boring rain.
*jacks the thread back onto topic*
My apologies, sometimes my mind wanders and I need to be pokered on the shoulder.
I prefer being pokered in different parts of my body, but that’s just me.
I’ll remember that later when I’m smashed on gin.
Well let me start you getting smashed on that gin…
*slides gin and tonic down bar*
Get wasted!
*pictures poking that adorable cuddles in the tummy*
*does the pillsbury doughboy giggle*
*SQUEEZE*
I knew it!
*SQUEEZE* back atcha
Now we all know what you knew.
Somebody doesn’t like to be *SQUEEZED*! (clicky)
Actually, parts of Tasmania and Victoria, especially at higher altitudes, may receive considerable snowfall in the winter months.
*gives up*
Hey, the precipitation in Portugal pelts primarily on the plateau!
Did you know, the sleet in Crete lands neatly in the street? Amazing, but true!
The waves in Waikiki wash away the wankers!
I like it in the acehole.
yep
Or a suicidal king.
It doesn’t matter, he was going to get layed-off anyways
anybody else notice the screen in the ‘cop car’ is the exact same in the cab..LoL notice the snow at the bottom of the cops screen?
Uhhh, there is no cab….. just a police car. The lights on the top and the POLICE on the back kinda give it away. What I think we have here is a common case of the stupidity fail
Did you notice he’s parked on the wrong side of the street?
no kid look he even has his lights on
After 17 years of law enforcement and sitting in that car for more than half of it I can say that being a cop is 99% pure boredom and 1% pure hell! I use to play Age of Empire on my laptop and solitaire just to stay awake!
It looks at this officer is probably sitting on an accident or construction just being seen. What do most people that work in an office do in their downtime? Play on the computer right?

Mookie always is.
What if he was looking at Failblog? Would that be a Win??
I think it might be a strange loop.
A hula hoop.
ALVIN!!!
Herbert!!!
Well if he was looking on failblog, and later saw himself on failblog looking on failblog, I believe the universe would implode in on itself. (Murphy’s first law of space-time paradoxes)
Circular reference to Excel fans.
I thought Murphy’s first law involved a hidden Bee-Bop Cola machine. Heeeeelllllloooooo consuuuummmmeeeeerrrrrr.
Murphy makes pessimisitic laws.
Every little thing solitaire does is magic.
Have some patience.
Is this a sting?
Sssh…don’t blow my cover.
*looks up*
Oh, is THAT what you call it?
*goes back down*
*shudders at the thought of a female hooker* Come on now, you know I’m a man’s man
Have you watched Russel Peters?
Nope, I can’t say I have.
Oh…I was going to make a joke about Indians and gay pride, but you wouldn’t have gotten it.
Here’s a drink to make you laugh!
*slides drink that is made out of smart matter down bar to mr. cuddles*
It changes into what ever you want it to be!
…
Until I can find me
A girl who’ll stay and won’t play games behind me
I’ll be what I am
A solitary man
Sorry, Johnny, but that was by Neil “King of” Diamond[s].
Thengkewveddymuch.
You’re right. It was Neil’s song. Johnny did do a cover, though.
So did the Finnish rock band HIM, formerly known as “His Infernal Majesty”
(sounds like somebody fell into a ring of fire).
Had no idea JC covered that song. Thanks for the info. Can I cash in now?
Juses Christ?
He should put on the red light now.
I am sure he feels so lonely.
Doesn’t he got a partner?
He’s the king of pain, no doubt.
But he took some drugs to fight the pain and now he feels like walking on the moon.
It’s to deal with his pain. He just can’t stand losing at solitaire.
Don’t stand so close to him. People on drugs are unpredictable.
Obviously he’s undercover, watching every step you take.
Surely he is undercover, he is in a suitcase.
Well, that’s better than being a canary in a coal mine!
Isn’t that their siren I can hear…”de do do do de da da da”?
I think he might be drunk after one scotch, one bourbon, and one beer.
It’s a good thing you’re thorough.
…and (he’s) good.
(ignoring the weird comment…)
Wow, I was gonna say the same thing! Must be Synchronicity!
I was thinking Synchronicity II
I though your name was Mookie, oh well Roxanne it is then.
I find this irrefutably awesome.
But maybe I just like to use the word “irrefutably.”
I agree, iffefutably awesome!!! I would tap on the window and ask if they had minesweeper..lol
Soitaire.
Patence.
Speds.
Queer
Surveiance.
Spelling fail
whair?
The Poice don’t take part in “surveillance,” teddy.
Anyone for a game of shove piggy shove?
Higgledy-piggledy shout.
How many fingers are out?
2 in the stink?
dealt the whole hand?
What does that phrase mean?
He’s got a perp in the back locked up in solitary confinement.
He’s going to take that joker to the station and book him.
Unless he cuts him a deal.
The cards are stacked against him.
His heart will be broken.
He will probably hold’em in lock-up for the night.
With black Jack.
and a couple of queens picked up walking the street.
That’s what you get when you go fish in the streams at the park.
Just remember to cover your ace.
That jail cell’s getting to be a rather full house!
Looks like there is a lot of pairs.
Lets try to keep it straight.
But those queens are three of a kind.
So that’s why he’s flushed. Or was it the gin?
aah that is two of a kind anyway
He’ll get his punishment in spades
Shouldn’t this be titled “Poice Fail”?
The fail is in the “L” after the “O”. I am not understand why did not they put the zoom on the letters but on the poice scanner.
Mebby he eatz caek wiith that game?
Or mebby cheezeburgerz?
Dough nut say that.
Bah. Firefighters play MINESWEEPER.
Minesweeper is epic!
He was going to get layed off anyways
at least it wasnt porn
I don’t know if this is so much a fail. I mean it looks like he is just sitting outside a construction zone in order to get people to slow down. They do this all the time in Pennsylvania. Their not really in a position to pull someone over, and yet people will dramatically slow down when they see a cop.
So if this is the case what else is he supposes to do? It’s either solitaire or sleep and I am sure they would rather have him awake.
The Jerking Authority has other alternatives.
Nuh-uh. No wanking during business hours, remember?
You are assuming that it is a male cop.
Hmm… even if they’re not it doesn’t stop them playing with themselves.
OMG – all these years and I never realized!!
Jules, may I be among the first to applaud your wisdom and insight?
This cop got it goin’ on.
Near my house they have a wooden cutout that is painted and looks like a cop car for that.
The fail is that cops get paid more for doing subcontracted contsruction jobs than doing their job. But I see what you mean, I sit in my office and failblog all day and I still get paid.
The cop should be working harder to get snow of the streets.
“Snow of the Streets” – a Harlequin Novel.
Is it a Snow White spin off?
Don’t forget this fact, you cant get it back… *ker-SPLORTCH*
*sneaks apostrophe into Admiral’s comment before anyone notices*
I agree. I mean, what, no one here ever played solitaire when they were at work?
No… too busy on Failblog.
haha! It’s funny cuz it’s true!
I remember years ago working a drive-thru, had a cop pull up and he was watching pirated movies on his laptop. I knew it was pirated because it had the timecode on the bottom of the screen, and the movie was still in theaters…
cops are people like us too!
Except they have badges and sometimes M-4 rifles in their trunks.
We don’t need no stinking badges.
and they smell like bacon
So what about having badgers and an ar15 in the trunk?
Badgers wreak havoc on select-fire weapons, especially Soviet-block varieties; they’re ALWAYS chewing up the wood.
Therefore, I do believe that an AR-15 would, indeed, be an appropriate choice.
Mushroom! Mushroom!
Just what is the implication here?
There’s a dead dog and an unlabelled videotape. You do the math.
I swear, that’s my neighbors dog’ not mine! And it insisted on the vide… oh crap. I mean the video is of me and the, ah, Moomins. Yeah that’s it… playing, ah, Frisbee, with the dead dog.
clicky
Snaaaake oh snaaaake ooh it’s a snaaaaake!
Oh! I thought it was the raccoons that you had to watch out for. Always chewing on stuff they shouldn’t and acting slutty.
Them too.
Plus, they’re always disguised.
At least he is not busy beating people.
just passing the time between beatings
This explains why it took them over an hour to give me a ticket…
“After this hand… no this one… no this…”
It also explains why you can take hostages with a Sega zapper.
And Windows Vista with games..
and on the background we see a “cheating death” software for Solitare :p
Oh, i thought it was a hackers programm to the cia.
I saw a police car outside my school with solitaire up once…apparently it’s a favorite.
I bet it is. Cops don’t hhave the brains to understand anything more complicated.
Nneither ddo yyou, aapparently.
heh… next time your house is robbed, call the fire department
so you guys don’t take breaks at work?
His emergency lights are on. He is at work, not on break.
Hes got his lights on so people can see him and not run into him.
good to see our tax dollars going to good use
Yipper. He’s on the USA Olympic Solitaire Team, and the more practice he gets, the more gold Our Boys and Girls will bring home!
This look photoshop’d to anyone else?
(NOTE: If someone else already mentioned it, then thpppt. No way was I gonna read all those comments.)
I think it is photoshopped. The screen is too clear.
YES. I just posted a comment about it a second ago. Screens are identical.
Is it also a fail that there is an ad for a career in law enforcement right next to the above fail?
Its is, because you don’t have the ad blocker for firefox.
I know… *sniffle*
The fail here is not that he’s playing solitare, which is the best time waster free for 500 yen, but that he’s using Windows Vista. Or if you’re the cynical, everybody-should-only-have-fun-after-work kinda person, there’s two fails…the one being you.
There’s a third fail. He can easily win by moving that two of clubs over, yet he still hasn’t figured it out. This guy sucks at solitaire.
The fourth fail is either my screen or my eyesight, and I think its the former…I can barely make out those cards…
maybe its all that gin, here let me help you drink that
Have mine too– I’m in a happy place now.
Eh…I’m the barman, I don’t drink at work. After work, now that’s a different story…
I’ll have another for you then… I’ve been off work for a while now.
Hey, unlike most other failblog images, this is actually also a hyperlink to some other weird site. WTF? Not appreciated.
That happens every once in a while. The idea being it’s for further info or other funny things. If you don’t appreciate it, then simply don’t click on the link. It’s really quite simple.
That looks like it’s in the American state of Connecticut, judging by the snow on the car and the license plate. Not Australia.
You all fail at comments because nobody has pointed out that this is obvious:
PHOTOSHOP.
Yeah, just notice that both solitaire screens are in exactly the same state…. Photoshopped fails are kind of annoying.
Oh. I now see that the lower left screen is an inset rather than another police computer. I fail at pointing out failed fails.
I just do Shift-Alt-2
The master thief has sent this to the cops who ever solves the game solves the crime and learns of his spot. Good police work if you ask me.
Rather it’s like Space Quest. Throw Rubik’s Cube to confuse the monster.
Rubik’s cubes are easy to solve once you get the algorithms down.
I’m bad at math though…
oh, so that’s where all our money for the speeding tickets goes…
No… it goes to house your mom in the state prison
wow wonderful look at were our taxes are going towards ! Bravo!
Wear our they going?
nice that he allmost has the game won!
For me, it looks like a win. Windows XD
… This isnt that bad a fail.
They just use their computer until they hear the beep of a speeder.
What do you think, all cops just sit and stare for hours?
Yes. Yes I do.
This pic isn’t real. It’s the same game on both screens, someone just pasted a picture onto both of the laptops.
*facepalm*
*Also facepalms*
These comments are fake – they’re the same facepalm!
Very similar indeed.
Mine had just a touch more palm in it though.
I can’t wait until you people actually need a cop for some reason. I hope they show up and club you in the mouth
FTW! – but only if the “club” reference was meant to be a pun.
It’s call online courage… make outrageous comments behind a keyboard, but never have the courage to make them in person.
Would it have been any different if the cop had been listening to his ipod? lawl.
Wait a minute, it looks like he has Solitare pulled up over something else!
“Hmmm, while I wait for this description to be matched, I think I’ll play some Solitare!”
maybe he was hiding the porn from his partner
Would have been hilarious if they had the good old BSoD
Would it have been any different if the cop had been listening to his ipod? lawl.
Why can’t I get away with doing this at work
lol I can’t believe someone caught this, so hilarious. This is where your tax dollars are going people, solitaire..
I didn’t know they taxed welfare checks
cops in my town do that all the time
Everyone wants to tell the cop how to do his job,but very few have the courage to wear the uniform.Playing solitaire doesn’t prevent him from exiting his vehicle and kicking butt when you get your little pansy self into trouble & can’t protect yourself.
actually… I tell my doctor how to operate on me
Actually, it’s not unusual for patrol to be allowed to do ‘whatever’ on their dashboards, as long as it’s not illegal (i.e. download pirated media) or truly profane. Otherwise, they can surf the internet and aim if they want. POLICE WIN!
PR0N?
I <3 Connecticut Cops!!!
leave it to CT!
Actually, the cops are playing solitaire. A one player game, so I know they are not playing internet cards together or something…look closely, their screens are exactly the same with the same shadow at the bottom left corner of the screen. Photoshop anyone?
I freaking hate lazy cops. Get off the damn game and go beat the shit out of some lowlife criminals, pig!
Happily… give me your address
This is totally fake, the computer screens are both showing the exact same game
The image in the lower left corner is zooming in on the cop screen…
The irony is that this police officer probably pulled someone over for texting/talking on the phone/etc while driving right after this was taken.
Looks like he is doing traffic control or something, and got bored. I worked dispatch for a long time.. I played my fair share of solitaire as well.
@jason:
duh? its a zoom shot?
It’s a Yale police car.
http://overheardatyale.blogspot.com/2009/01/yale-police-maintaining-constant.html
hah! i saw a cop playing spider solitaire in my town. didn’t realize it could be categorized as a fail.
that wat they do i know it
He’s stealing your WIFI
You don’t pay us for what we do… you pay us for what we might have to do
what’s wrong with this one? I play Everquest 2 with a texan officer that plays in his vehicle =P
Yea That’s def. a CT cop… It looks like New Haven PD too! I should know I live there lol! This is real funny all my tax payer money hard at work…..
Thats nothing I once walked by a cop car near my street at night And there was alot of flashing coming from the computer monitor. When I walked past I looked back and saw the cop was playing Counter-Strike…
im surprised they weren’t looking at pornography
maybe he jus got bored
I’ve seen my local town’s cop on AIM and Facebook and a different officer was watching Old School, this isn’t nearly as bad as that. By the way our town doesn’t even have a stop light or a gas station, I can’t blame them for being bored.
10/10
!!!
I worked at a car wash, and we washed all of the city cop cars, i would always see them playing solitaire or IMing
the game?
the game over
