Today, I was on the tram, when an elderly couple got on. I stood up to give them room to sit together, but as I stood up, the tram set off and I went flying, knocking the elderly gentleman over. FML

Today, I was on a tram and I noticed an older lady having trouble getting down the stairs. I immediately got up to help her, dropping my bag on the seat accidentally. As I went to get back on the tram, the doors closed. FML
Today, while on the train to university, I realized it was my stop and quickly stood up to get off. Or I would have, if my leg hadn't gone to sleep and caused me to fall, landing face first into the crotch of the old guy in front of me. FML
Today, I took the bus. The old lady next to me almost fell when the driver stopped, but I managed to catch her. Five minutes later, the same thing happened to me. The old lady tried to help me, but I lost my balance and pulled her skirt down. FML
Today, I was on the bus, it hit a bump on the road and made me hit a elderly man. The bus driver thought I did it on purpose and made me get off. FML
Today, I got on the train with my bike, leaning it up against the wall. After a while, it began to slide down the wall and wobble, so I dashed out to catch it. As I ran for it, I slipped and crashed into it, knocking it into an old man and busting the rear brake. FML
Today, I was sitting on the bus and as I'm quite short my legs were dangling. Some guy, who wasn't looking where he was going, tripped over my foot and went flying. He and everyone else on the bus glared at me like it was deliberate. The man next to me even changed seats in disgust. FML
Today, I was on the train next to an elderly woman. When I told her it was my stop, she turned her knees towards the aisle, and I, thinking that she was letting me go by, began to edge past. She screamed, "DON'T PUSH ME!" and the whole train turned to look. I was thus the asshole pushing the old lady. FML
Today, I got on the bus. Before I could make it to a free seat, the driver hit the gas, and the sudden movement caused me to stumble and accidentally grab onto another passenger for support. She didn't appreciate this, accused me of molesting her, and got me thrown back off. FML
Today, I offered my seat to an elderly lady on the subway. She quietly refused. Minutes later on a sharp turn, she almost fell down on two people. As I was clearly the youngest in the disability seating section, everyone on the train turned and glared at me. FML
Today, on the bus, water kept dripping on my head so I stood up to move. As I got up, the bus turned round a corner and I fell over into a man's lap. When I tried to get up, I slipped down between his legs and the next seat. FML

It's not your fault
jajajapun 5
ACTUALLY, it was technically her fault. however, she had good intentions. just one of those shitty days :p
wlddog 14
Wow... Too much pressure to post first i see
logic368 8
Yeah, for sure, couldn't think of anything funny...
Mossears133 15
False. It was the lack of reverse momentum and unexpected acceleration and therefore the tram's fault.

21, ACTUALLY it wasn't her fault, it was the trams fault.

I totally agree with #1. Props to you for at least trying to do the right thing. So often these days our elderly are not treated with the respect they deserve.

Being cruel to the elderly will get you nowhere in life!

She wasn't being cruel. Which FML did you read?

25 - Swoosh!
charrmaander 10
Can you read? The person was clearly doing a good thing by giving them the seat. It's not their fault the tram took off.

#3 was being sarcastic, hence the "swoosh" of the joke going straight over your heads.
flockz 19
it was so far over their heads that i don't think they even heard the swoosh.

Sadly, that seems to be the case... We need louder swooshes these days.
ZeroPath5 16
It was still a bad joke...
Joe9024 20
You need to read FML more often #3. Asshats have been disguising themselves as old people more and more lately. It's becoming an epidemic really

Here: SWOOSH

I'm sure you managed to take the lady's breath away at least;)
xStaciexLynnx 15
He knocked into a man, not a lady.
Ambient25 24
Wow you just had a double fail #12. *She and #4 was mentioning the lady that was looking on, had nothing to do with her getting hit...
False_Stupidity 41
Except there's no mention of a lady looking on anywhere in the FML...
xStaciexLynnx 15
I can't see gender on my phone and I would think the 'taking someone's breath away' comment refers to literally knocking the wind out of someone (aka the man OP flew into) so that was not a fail because it was a man and not a woman.
shyeahh_fml 19
That's what happens when you're nice, OP.

Exactly. No good deed goes untackled.

here let me get that for you ... *BOOM* *tackled.*

F the old mans life

This is one of the only times when the old person gets the shit end of the stick on an FML!

Today's not your day. That's why I don't leave my house.

And how's that working out for ya?

9, do your three friends happen to be a penny, a potato chip, and a used napkin?
Ambient25 24
or his right hand, the door lock, and some tissues
Joe9024 20
#9 is female, so maybe a door lock, some quiet, and a sawzall ***** would do the trick.

As long as you helped him up right away and apologized, I'm sure he would have recognized both the train movement and your sympathy. I just hope you didn't do a little dance after the heavy tackle...

Trolley, train, tram, light rail, etc. Just dependent on where you live.
