School, Cars and Miscellaneous: Running late

Running late

By albert - 13/05/2009 12:36 - United Kingdom

Today, we were running late for school so my mum shouted at me to hurry up and get in the car. I put my school bags in the boot of the car and my mum drove off. It wasn't until she got to my school and told me to get out that she realised I wasn't there. FML

Today, my mother set off the alarms at Walmart by shoplifting. She shouted at me to run, which I didn't. I had to get a ride home from the security guard, since my mother left without me because I didn't get to her car fast enough. FML

Today, I almost missed the bus. I grabbed my backpack and ran out the door. It wasn't until after we got to school that I realized I was still in my slippers. FML

Today, my mum and I decided to go on a hike. Beforehand we left my car at the end of the trail and took my mums car to the beginning. After 4 hours we arrived at my car. I had left my keys in mums car. It was a long walk back. FML

Today, I missed my bus, so I walked home in the rain from school, only to realize my mom had been following me the whole time in the car, laughing her ass off. FML

Today, my mom was driving with my brothers and sister in the back seat. She was turned around talking to us, when my sister told my mom that she missed the light. She ran it, then screamed at us about not paying attention and noticing your surroundings. FML

Today, I had to rush to school to avoid being late. Unfortunately, I forgot to put a bra on beforehand, and as soon as I got to gym class, the first thing my teacher said was: "Okay folks, let's get outside, we're running the mile." FML

Today, I was running late and rushing to a waiting bus. I made it to the doors just as they closed. I knocked desperately, hoping the driver would let me in. He hovered his hand over the button for a few seconds, then flipped me off, and drove away laughing. FML

Today, I woke up late and had to rush to catch my bus. Upon arriving at school, I was hot from running and took off my sweater. It was then, in a lecture hall with 400 people, that I realised I hadn't put a shirt on underneath. FML

Today, I was kicking my soccer ball with my father. My mom pulled out in the car without checking and ran into to me. FML

Anger management

By stumpy - 31/07/2019 18:00

Today, we were running late because my hair got tangled in the curtains. My mother-in-law got so angry, she hacked at it, leaving me with a bald patch, then went and sat in the car as though we were still going anywhere with her. FML

Heehee! Idiot. I'll bet she was also the type to be yelling at you about something the whole ride there and if not talking incessantly the whole time, she'd get mad when you wouldn't respond and rant about that, too.

Lucky for you! No school haha. Now you can hold this against your mom forever. "Mom, can I have $20?" "No, why are you so self-" "Now, Now, mom... remember that time you drove off and I wasn't even in the car...." *sighs* "Fine, take the damn $20."

Wait... what? So you put your stuff in the car, but you didn't actually get in? Did she just drive off before you could? lol She must have been very concerned about getting you there on time! So concerned she didn't pay attention... lol #33! Make that £, though, probably.

#36--stop with the reverse FML's!! And that one wouldn't actually BE an fml! But OP that really sucks...I honestly wouldn't put it past my mom to do something like this haha good thing she hasn't though! She's not exactly too observant, to say the least. #21--Don't use sexist comments like that. Not only does it show you are a disgusting person, but it just completely destroys your credibility making your comment worthless.

Ahahaha! My sister did that once picking me up at school- I closed the door after putting my violin in the back seat, about to get in the front, and she just drove off!... and came back like 15 minutes later, lol.
