Today, I woke up at 2:30 AM. Thinking I was going to be late for my 3:30 AM flight, I rushed into the bathroom to shower. As I came out of the shower, I slipped and broke my arm. I then realized my flight is tomorrow. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I set my alarm for 3:30 AM to catch an early flight. I got up, got dressed, and arrived at the airport in record time. While checking in, I was told that my flight is tomorrow morning. I’m now wide awake and sitting in a 24-hour diner, having a very early breakfast. FML
Today, I got up at 2:30 a.m. to catch an early flight home. I was tired and drowsy and took a quick shower to wake me up. Two minutes in, the water turned scalding hot on all settings. I ended up having to rinse my hair with bottles of sparkling water from the hotel minibar. FML
Today, I woke up at 3am to catch my flight back home, only to realize that my flight was pushed back 14 hours. FML
Today, I woke up to go to school. I was unbelievably tired, but I gathered the courage to go take my shower. I then took a long shower, cleaned up my room, got dressed, and ate breakfast. Going back to my room, I looked at the clock, which read 3:22 AM. FML
Today, at three in the morning, I rolled out of bed in my sleep, landing butt-first into my trash can and scraping my arm on my bedside table. I cleaned up the mess I'd made and tried to stop my arm from bleeding. During which, my dad banged on the door and told me to keep it down. FML
Today, I woke up after being sick from the flu and tried to get out of bed. I forgot I was in a bunk bed and broke my ankle in the fall down. FML
Today, my boss yelled at me for being 3 hours late. I was late because I fell down the stairs and broke my arm. Apparently, breaking my arm is not a good enough excuse. FML
Today, I woke up at the ungodly hour of 3 a.m. to go to the bathroom. It was of course quite dark, and unbeknownst to me, the door was closed. I walked into it. Then I tried to open it, missed the door knob, and walked into the door again. FML
Today, I woke up an hour and half late to work, sleeping through nine alarms, then fell and injured my knee going into work. I'd forgotten my work ID and door card, and misplaced my coffee mug. It's only 9 a.m.! FML
Today, I woke up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom. I was there with the lights out when something ran across my foot. I freaked out, tried to kick it off, and ended up smashing my foot into the side of the tub. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Um, unless you live IN THE AIRPORT...if you woke up 1 hour prior to the flights departure you were screwed from the get go. They begin boarding the flight 20min to departure not including gettin through security and checking bags which BTW the cutoff time for THAT is 1 hour to departure...just saying

Sucks bro...

why would you shower? You BOARD half an hour before takeoff. Assuming you live next door to the airport and have no baggage to check and have your ticket printed out, you still have to go through security.

I think you left this comment about the previous FML, didn't you?

Hmmm... this website would be much more interesting if people left comments unrelated to the FML, like #7. And even better... we could all compete trying to guess which FML they actually belong to.

Not only that #10, after being late and a bit screwed... went and had a non-essential shower?? The OP obviously didn't realise how screwed they were.. hmm i'm gonna YDI this.

Yeah, but he's from Canada. Just like the "Canadian dollar" isn't really a dollar, I'm sure they tell time differently there also... i.e. a "Canadian hour" is probably not the same as a real hour. So maybe he did have enough time to get through security (I mean, c'mon... "Canadian security" isn't like real security) and still board the plane. Everything's different in Canada.

I dont know about Canada but in the US there isnt a cutoff time of 1 hour unless its an international flight. Most airlines will guarantee your bag that will make it to the destination if you check in 30 minutes in advance. At the 3:30 in the morning there probably isnt going to be anyone at the airport so its not like he/she has to worry about a long security and check in line. I didnt even know flights started that early. I would hope the OP lives within 10-15 minutes of the airport if he/she took the time to take a shower.

Really? I live in the US and the airlines I took this Christmas (MA to FL and back) said there was a 1 hour cutoff, 3 for international.

Southwest Airlines doesnt have a cutoff. 10 minutes before the flight leaves if you havent checked in then they are free to give it to stand by passengers. If you show up before the flight leaves and no one is on the stand by list then you still get your seat. Southwest has a 30 minute rule that any checked back that is checked in under 30 minutes isnt guaranteed to make the flight or else they will pay to get it shipped to you. Not to mention that Southwest lets you log on 24 hours in advance of your flight to print off your boarding pass so if you did that and were really late then they wouldnt give up your seat to stand by until the very last minute when they realized you arent on the plane.

#14 you're just plain out retarded to think that Canadian's have a longer hour. That is why the whole world thinks that Americans are stupid. Now obviously this guy would of missed his flight. The fact he posted this in Canada has no reason to believe such a retarded thing.

And after this comment, people are now very sure that Americans are stupid.

haha, same here! i'm such a klutz.. i probably would have broken more than my arm lol

At least you broke your arm to remind you that you were a day early. It would have been much worse to show up at the airport with your bags, only to be sent home. But... isn't 2:30 am actually "tomorrow" already? So maybe you were right in the first place, and your broken arm just confused you. I'm sure you'll figure it out within a few days.

No, it's worse to have a broken arm than to show up to the airport a day early. And no, 2:30 AM is not tomorrow. Today is today, no matter what time it is.

I too think a broken arm is worse. Also if I'm not mistaken they won't even let someone on the plain who has a broken bone do to the air pressure and the fact that it would cause a lot of pain
