Today, after leaving a bar I fell asleep on the Q train heading home. I awoke at 5am in Coney Island, end of the line, to a cop poking me with his baton. He gave me a ticket for "Subway Vagrancy" even though I have a job and an apartment. He didn't ticket the homeless man next to me covered in piss. FML

70% off something you didn't need, a stampede and a cart that crashes at checkout. Thanks, Black Friday.
Today, I took the train home to save a few dollars on an Uber fare. I fell asleep on the train, got a fine for travelling outside of my paid zone, and had to take an even longer Uber home than it would have been from where I started. FML
Today, a homeless man asked me for money in a train station bathroom. When I told him I had no money he left. He then returned only to pour a bottle full of urine on my head while I was in the stall. I use a metro card. I honestly had no money. FML
Today, on the train, I was bitten by a homeless man. FML
Today, I walked into a subway car which was empty except for a sleeping hobo. Three stops later, the guy wakes up and starts peeing in the corner. I ignore it thinking he'll go back to sleep. Silly me, I didn't realize that he would start running towards me, still peeing. FML
Today, I woke up after I had gotten shitfaced, and tossed out of bars by bouncers several times. I even had pictures of my face circulated to other bars not to be served. I then met a woman I almost smoked crack with, and spent the rest of the night following her while she asked random homeless people for free crack. FML
Today, I fell asleep at my bus stop following a long day at work. I woke up to a homeless man giggling after he had clipped dozens of clothespins to my clothes, shoes, and hair in my sleep. FML
Today, I got a ticket for being drunk in public. I was walking a couple of blocks from the bar to my house, because I didn't want to drive drunk. FML
Today, my train was canceled so my ticket expired by the time another train arrived. I was fined $90 by ticket inspectors 'cause my claim that the early train didn't run was "unsubstantiated". Leaving the train I was pushed by the crowd, fell, lost a shoe and had to walk home with one bare foot. FML
Today, trying to get to work just off Eglinton station in Toronto, I slept in, didn't shower, and didn't have money for an Uber, so I jumped on the street car. This was the only time they had people checking tickets. One 200$ fine later, I'm late for work, and after a warning for my tardiness, I was sent home for "stinking." FML
Today, while walking to work, I saw a homeless guy with a funny "NEED MONEY 4 BOOZE" sign, so I gave him a few spare dollars for his humor. On my way back home, he was out cold on the sidewalk with several empty bottles beside him. Whoops. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

i hate the subway cops, why? Because they are always on the news for insitigating fights and shooting people. I know there are alot of ******* homless people on Q. I wish the cops would stop doing stupid shit and make them leave the train. I did not enjoy sitting next to the homless man who smelled like pee this morning.

You have a place to sleep and a steady income, and you're whinging because someone who is severely down on his luck - someone whose life is ******, one might say if one could think of anyone outside oneself - didn't get in trouble with the law? Jesus. H. Christ. Get over yourself. It's unfortunate that you got a ticket, sure. It's the end of your post that means I have no sympathy for you, none at all. You're seemingly too ungrateful and self-involved to even consider empathy.

that freeekinnn sucks, sorry :( #57, youre stupid he has the right to feel upset that the homeless guy didnt get a ticket, like are you serious? most homeless people can do sumthing about there situation and they just choose not to. Its still unjust no matter what. This is America for goodness sakesss.

a lot of my heart goes out to the homeless...it sickens me the lack of sympathy they get.

Who cares if he is homeless, I thought we were supposed to be treated as equals. If that was so he should get a ticket. He can pay it off in jail time or go get a job at mcdonalds. By giving the homed guy a ticket your punishing the succesfull people who try in life, and don't sit on their butt and use welfare. Bunch of left wing bullshit.

#59: oh noez i'm sssstoopid like. Would he have been that annoyed if an evidently more successful man beside him didn't get one? Then he'd bitch about picking on him because he wasn't as well off. #61: how on Earth will he get a job without a fixed address? Or welfare, for that matter? And yeah, that guy who gets locked and passes out on the train is a real winner. Some people have bad lives, and the odds are against them from the start. Some manage to overcome them, and more power to them. Some don't, through now fault of their own, and that should break your heart if you have one. If you lose your job, and don't get another one in time not to lose your house, you're pretty screwed, and America doesn't seem to do a lot to help in that case.

Of course he ticketed you, because the real vagrant wouldn't be able to pay the fine.
