Today, I was at a window seat on a bus full of people when I saw a person lying motionless in a gutter. I jumped up, nearly hysterical, screaming for the driver to stop because there was a guy really hurt on the road. An emergency stop and huge commotion ensued. It turned out to be some garbage. FML

haha wow there are some a*holes out there. actually I have very good vision and i am not intellectually stupid thanks... i was in a moving bus and it wasnt a garbage CAN.... i dont think people come in that shape, but a big bag of garbage that had split and stuff had come out and around the bag.. yeah. maybe next time this happens it will be one of the a*holes that commented on this lying in the gutter and i will remain silent. HAHA!

lol, how the hell did you mistake some garbage for a person?

Good for you for being concerned though - many many people would totally ignore a gutter person.

... honestly, caring about your fellow man is all well and good, but did you really have to make such a commotion? You could have simply asked the person next to you, or the driver, "Hey, doesn't that look like a person? Maybe we should go help them!" Or better yet, call 911, calmly state you think someone's in trouble, give the operator the location, and continue on your day. P.S: Garbage can look body-shaped at times, but honestly, who lies in gutters anymore when there are such things as alleys and bars?

Shame...shammme....props for being worried in the first place tho

umm srry if im an asshole 4 telling u 2 get glasses... i guess garbage can look like a person if its all blurry and stuff... idk it wasnt clear tht u had good vision... whats clear is tht u saw something tht looked like a dead person and freaked out... so i thot u had bad vision... im not an asshole and neither is anybody else who might think u r a little slow... im glad u were all concered and all... cuz most ppl will just be like oh let somebody else do it... so just chill... and like i understand #62... it was dark and things look different in the night... cuz like shadows and stuff....

Perhaps you need glasses? This is probably the nicest way to comment about this fml..

agreed with #2. this one is really common.

fake...or just a spin off a similar story (#2)

nice try, good effort, embarrassing tho

it's the new panic mania sweeping the nation, people are mistaking garbage for people.
