Today, traffic was so bad that I was able to connect to the WiFi of a nearby McDonald's and successfully listen to a 30-minute podcast. FML

Today, I was stuck in backed up traffic because of construction for so long that my phone actually listed where I was stuck in traffic as a place I visited. FML

Today, I entered a restaurant just to use the WiFi. In order not to look cheap, I ordered a meal and a beverage. The WiFi didn't work and now I don't have enough money to buy dinner. FML

Today, I arrived at my college dorm. To help me sleep, I listened to my local radio from my phone. Little did I know, they turn off the wifi for part of the night, and hours of music were streamed onto my phone. Guess who now owes the phone company all my money. FML

Today, I was waiting in line for breakfast at the McDonald's drive-thru. After getting so fed up that the line hadn't budged for 10 mins, I pulled out of the line, only to realize I was waiting behind 2 parked cars that were just to the left of the drive-thru lane. FML

Today, I was waiting in the McDonald's drive-thru and listening to some music. I was tapping my non-driving foot to the song when I accidentally tapped the wrong foot and rear ended the cop car in front of me. Whoops. FML

Today, after leaving work at 10 pm, I took a shortcut to the highway. After getting lost, my GPS informed me that the service was unavailable and I should try back in an hour. This occurred moments before I ran out of gas. FML

What a wonderful life

Today, I felt really depressed so I decided to go to McDonald's, get a sundae and cheer myself up. I got pulled over by the cops on the way, and was given a ticket for an expired registration. McDonald's was closed. FML

Sorry about the traffic, but hey, at least you weren't the most bored of those who were stuck!

You don't happen to live in a suburb south of Phoenix do you? Cause I do and traffic this morning was horrendous enough that I could see that happening.

It says Illinois, so probably not. I'd assume Chicago's awesome traffic.

The app doesn't show location any longer. I figured it wasn't though, just found it funny that this could have been near me

Why do I think that that seems pretty amazing. I mean. Wifi at McDonald's for 30 minutes on traffic...damn... It does say IL so what did you expect? We have terrible traffic throughout IL. Haha.

This isn't an fml, you got some free wifi and a podcast while waiting in traffic!

Hope you weren't in traffic long before you thought of connecting to their wifi.

Traffic jam, bad. WiFi, good. Black clouds and silver linings, OP. It could have been worse.

Sounds like you were stuck in traffic in Denton Texas. People on the news said they ended up watchin movies while waiting.

I passed there, and people were just sitting on the hoods of their cars and talking to each other.

Today, there was a potluck at my girlfriend's house. I had a sour stomach, so I went to the bathroom to relieve myself. When I flushed, nothing happened. They had to call a plumber to fix the toilet filled with my crap. The whole family watched, noses plugged and faces cringed, looking at me. FML
