Today, at my local amusement park, I decided it'd be fun to meet someone on the roller coaster by sitting alone and hoping that someone nice would sit next to me. I rode the roller coaster 7 times. I sat alone each time. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I went to an amusement park with a group of friends, one of whom was a girl I really like. When we got on the roller coaster, I was ecstatic that she wanted to sit next to me. Not even half-way through, I ended up puking all over the both of us. FML
Today, I worked at my job at an amusement park at one of the roller coasters. I have to go around and make sure that every seat belt is around the passenger. I saw my boyfriend in a seat and ran over to say hi. I saw a girl next to him. I had to strap down my cheating boyfriend and the new girl. FML
Today, I waited 75 minutes for a rollercoaster. I got on the front seat and it broke a few seconds before it started. It was closed for the rest of the day. FML
Today, I went on a rollercoaster for the first time. I sat in the back, which was a bad idea. When it ended everyone in front of me turned around and stared. When I asked my friend what was going on, she said I had been screaming the Lord's Prayer the whole time. I hadn't even noticed. FML
Today, I invited over 30 people to come to the park with me since the day was nice and cool. I sat there for three hours by myself. FML
Today, I tried to tackle my fear of heights by riding a rollercoaster. Once we were near the top, it malfunctioned, causing it to stop, and we all had to get out and climb back down. My girlfriend laughed at me for how scared I was. FML
Today, I went to an amusement park with my family and we all decided to ride the tallest rollercoaster. As soon as the ride got going, I realized I'd made a huge mistake and was too terrified to open my eyes. I spent the entire ride screaming, with my hands over my eyes, and afterwards my cousin called me a wuss. FML
Today, I tried being the 'cool parent' by taking my kids to a fancy, expensive amusement park, but ended up getting stuck on every ride and getting motion sickness. FML
Today, I went to an amusement park with my family. I was the only one who put on sunblock, and the only one who got a sunburn. FML
Today, I went to see a movie with 4 friends. I didn't realize that I was the only one who didn't have a date. The theater row had just enough room for everyone but me, I got to sit in back of everyone else while they were making out in front of me for 2 hours. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

There are some rides you get paired with strangers, and you might have a chance to talk to them. There are a bunch of rides like that, but a roller coaster definitely not your best option. As many others have mentioned people generally go with friends to begin with. Unless, you struck up a conversation in line it's unlikely. The sit and wait idea doesn't often lead to anything.

It doesn't mean anything. People go with friends to amusement parks. But if I were there, I would sit next to you.

Why are you looking to meet people on a roller coaster? Can't say I've ever had deep conversations with a stranger on an amusement park ride. That's a bit of a FML in and of itself.

You can't meet someone on a roller coaster. With all the screaming and all.

YDI cause that's dumb of you. Romantic, hopelessly romantic but still, not the brightest idea. At least you believe in love, though.

Personally if I had the option of sitting by myself or sharing the seat with a stranger Id sit by myself as it would seem a little but creepy to me to sit next to a random. Then again if I have gone to a coffee house and see someone that needs someone to talk to I will sit at a table next to them and ask how there day was, one day someone, an elderly lady just lost her husband of so many years and all she needed was a shoulder to cry on. I wouldnt take it personally op, maybe people felt awkward :)

When I go on roller coasters I'm usually with friends and have someone to go on with. Don't take it personally. It's kinda like going to lunch and expecting someone to want to sit next to you

You need to try... oh, a dating site. A meetup group online. Go to a place that has things you are interested in, book store, gaming store. If you want to find people, there are better ways than a roller coaster.

Oh wow! It's not your fault people these days are socially awkward.
