Today, I was going to a Harry Potter convention since I love the books so much. On my drive there I got lost, and it only got worse when my car broke down. Since I'd forgotten my phone, I tried to hitch a ride. I stood on the side of a road for two hours dressed like Ron Weasley. FML

Today, my car broke down in the middle of nowhere. I walked about 3 miles to the nearest house to call a tow truck. When I got back to where I left my car, it was gone. FML
Today, my car broke down. My colleague came to get me and then, later, my husband picked me up from work. We went to collect my abandoned car, but it was gone. It took 10 minutes of me panicking and thinking it had been stolen before he crumpled in laughter and told me he'd already collected it. FML
Today, I got lost, and eventually noticed that I'd passed by the same house a few times. Apparently somebody who lives on that street noticed as well, because the next time I passed by, the police were waiting for me. FML
Today, I was driving when I saw someone pulled over on the side of the road. Wanting to help, I pulled over. In so doing, I ran over something that popped my tire. The guy had just pulled over to pee. FML
Today, anticipating another stressful day of work, I left my house with a cluster of thoughts in my mind. It was only when I heard my front door lock behind me, my hand still resting on the handle, that I realised I had forgotten my house keys. FML
Today, I had some fun by joining a Harry Potter forum and making a thread saying it's all for little kids. When I checked back later, my post had been edited into me tearfully coming out of the closet, and some guy had said he'd passed my details on to Anonymous. FML
Today, for the first time in about 3 years, I decided to clean my car. It was going really well until I looked down at what I was about to pick up. On the back seat floor lay a dead snake, which at one point, for God knows how long, was living in my car while I unknowingly drove it around. FML
Today, while waiting for my mom to pick me up from university, I took out my phone and pretended to talk to someone. I didn't think people still pointed and laughed, but apparently they do when your mom pulls up and shouts, "Stop pretending to talk to someone." FML
Today, I got on the bus to go to work. I managed to get a seat, but an old lady who looked tired had to stand. I offered her my seat, but she glared at me, frowned and said, "Go fuck yourself." Everyone laughed as I sat there in dismay. FML
Today, while walking down the street, a truck hit a puddle and splashed me with water. After I cursed and flipped him off, he put his truck in reverse and splashed me again. FML

Awesome! What conference was it? And are you going to any others? I've been to a few HP Cons myself and am going to LeakyCon later this year! ^_^ Points to you for doing whatever it takes to get there!

The best part about this story is that you were dressed as the best character. WEASLEY'S FOREVER! I hope you got there- I'd cry if I missed it!

PS: I think it's cute that #38 is ragging on you for reading these books when they clearly know enough about them to know that Ron is a "back-up character" (I guess if you're in the top five important characters in a series with hundreds of characters you're a back-up?) and actually used the term "muggle". Sounds like someone's a closet Potterhead? Tool.

This is GREAT Have you ever seen freaks and geeks? there is an episode where the "geeks" go to a convention.. and they are all dressed up.. Waiting outside for their friend and his mother who are going to be driving them.. The friend, an even more of a loser than the geeks, shows up with his costume in hand and says "you could have changed in the parking lot" basically that dressing ahead of time is silly ;o) but this is hilarious! fyl!
