Today, my boyfriend and I stressed out preparing for our one week holiday. We packed for the whole day, said goodbye to everyone and arrived at the airport quite exhausted after a 45-minute train ride. Turns out our flight isn't until tomorrow. The check-in lady couldn't stop laughing. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I waited patiently in the airport as my flight was repeatedly delayed. After 5 long hours I approached one of the attendees to discover that the plane had left 5 minutes ago. FML
Today, I went to the airport to pick up my long-distance boyfriend. Having waited six months for this, I was stoked. After waiting for three hours and sending numerous messages, I was eventually informed I was a week early. FML
Today, I went with my girlfriend to the airport for some much needed vacation time. We arrived on time but were stopped at the gate when they told me I didn't have the right passport. The plane left without me. My girlfriend did too. FML
Today, I arrived at the airport two and a half hours early because I was expecting it to be busy. The line was long but I had plenty of time, until a woman complained about a fee for checked bags. I was next in line, and still managed to miss my flight because the woman caused such a big scene. FML
Today, I was the only passenger on a completely booked flight to have all their luggage left behind in another country. FML
Today, my fiancée and I were going on our honeymoon. Our flight was delayed by two hours. It landed when our connecting flight to St. Lucia was taking off. The airline said they were holding the flight for us, so we sprinted from D gate to A, in time to watch the plane pull away. FML
Today, to avoid a massive delay on our scheduled flight at the airport, we were generously moved to an earlier flight home. An hour later, our new flight had been cancelled and they told us we'd be stuck at the airport overnight. Our original flight took off fine. FML
Today, we drove six hours to get to our holiday cottage only to realise that my girlfriend had forgotten her suitcase. This put her in a bad mood, so she made ME drive six hours back to her flat to get it, then when I got there, I realised HER keys to HER FLAT were still in HER handbag six hours back at the cottage. FML
Today, I woke up excited for my trip to Jamaica with my friends. We went to the airport, and I gave them my passport to check in. They gave it back. It had expired three weeks ago. I watched my friends board the plane while I'm stuck in the city. FML
Today, due to a scheduling error, I spent an entire day and night in an airport, over 30 hours in total. Just as I arrived at the gate, I was informed that my flight had been delayed for another 2 hours. FML

I never understood people who stress about going on holiday. For ****'s sake, just throw some shit in a bag, get on the plane, and enjoy yourselves!

Don't tell anyone you didn't leave, so you don't have to tell everyone goodbye again. Then go home and get some sleep. This could be a positive thing.

Yes, totally with you on that one.

No biggie. Stay at a local cheap hotel and relax for a day before the vacation starts. It probably would be easier and cheaper than taking the train home and back again.

At least you and your boyfriend were in agreement over the date. You two are going to make a great couple because you seem to both be ditzy in the exact same way. I feel sorry for your future kids who are going to show up for school thinking the moon is a planet, birds are not animals and that you get colds from being cold.

Um..the moon is a planet. It's the only one made of cheese. Didn't you ever pay attention in astrology? Geez...

#20, I didn't take Astrology. I took Scantron.

Then I assume you know everything there is about Christmas trees. I can understand the moon mistake now.

Well, at least your not going to miss your flight. It could've been worse. You could've been a day late.

It's an FML because you are 45 minutes from home and stressed? Lame. Go back and try again tomorrow. YDI
