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

Well look on the bright side, at least your mom didn't drive off on purpose, like mine did once. It took 45 minutes to walk to my school and I ended up missing my first class. Thanks Mom.

For all of those who deemed my statement "don't have a period" as sexist, you took it the wrong way. It was merely a way of saying "calm down" and wasn't meant for any sexist intent. Poor taste in humor, sure. It wasn't meant to be discriminatory in any sense and I'm sorry if you took it the wrong way.

#43--whether YOU think it's sexist or not, IT IS! Just because you don't think you mean it in a sexist way, saying "don't have a period" as a way of saying "calm down" definitely IS sexist, no matter what you think it might be.

This really isn't an FML... she could easily drive back and get you again.

My question, how could you know what she said if you weren't there.

#47--I'm sure you didn't really mean it to be sexist, in fact that does happen a lot because it's something that many people do not make themselves aware of. Just next time, say calm down or whatever you actually mean. #48--Uh well the mom could have told the OP when she got back??

Wow, haha. I think you GETTING to school is more important than you being EXACTLY punctual. One tardy won't kill you, but if you end up missing a whole class, that's a LOT worse. Sheesh. I'm sorry!
