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

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
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?

I don't understand why some people say you deserve it.

Here in the UK some of our parks have single rider queues, so if you queue there you will get sat next to a stranger in order to fill the empty seats. Sounds like that would have been useful in this situation! Sitting next to strangers on a ride is something that I understand a lot of people are put off by, but in reality you're only next to them for around 2 minutes. So FYL OP, that is some really bad luck!

Don't take it to heart. First, a majority of people who go to theme parks, go in groups or at least pairs. Also, for those few who do go by themselves, a majority will choose to sit alone vs by a complete stranger. It has nothing to do with you, just the fact most people are put off by sitting so close to some random person. If it makes you feel any better, i'd have plopped down next to you.

Fellow Iowan, can I take a random guess and say you were in Okoboji?

Most times people tend to leave you alone because they assume you want to be alone. Try to strike a conversation with someone.

Ironically, if someone did sit with you, the relationship would be destined for too many ups & downs, anyways. ;)
