Today, I discovered that it's an hour and 45 minutes quicker to get the bus to work, rather than the train. I've worked there for six years. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, due to recent changes in my local transit system, the bus that I take to work and back is a unidirectional loop instead of bi-directional. So my morning commute is the same, but the commute back is now an hour-and-half instead of 20 minutes. FML
Today, I booked my car in for a service, with the intention of taking the courtesy bus to work. I got there at 8:45am, and the receptionist told me the courtesy bus was 10 minutes away. Work is 1.5km away, so I told my boss that I might be a couple of minutes late. Fifty minutes later, the bus came. I should've walked. FML
Today, I got the bus to work instead of walking so I could be there faster. However, I accidentally got on the wrong bus which let me off a mile and a half away from my workplace. Then, after another half-hour of trying to walk there, I found that it wasn't even open that day. FML
Today, I was starting a new job and I didn't want to be late, so I took a train that left earlier than normal, just to make sure I'd be on time. Turns out, the earlier train wasn't an express train, and made it to my stop 12 minutes after my usual one did. I was late for work. FML
Today, a co-worker, who lives 30 minutes out of my way, had broken down so I picked him up. We were both 5 minutes late and both got fired. Our department takes 30-60 minutes to even start running. FML
Today, I finished moving to my new apartment, which is 45 minutes away from my old one, because my workplace would be closer. I then got a phone call from my boss, telling me that he's transferring me to another location, which is closer to my old apartment. FML
Today, despite the fact they know I'm commuting hundreds of kilometres, I was requested to come to work at the earliest possible hour, every day. I'll be waking up at half past 3 a.m. and admire sunrises on my way. FML
Today, I waited thirty minutes for a bus that stopped running three weeks ago. FML
Today, my boss told me that my attitude to work is awesome and that he'd follow my example of coming in half-an-hour early every day from now on. I relish those 30 minutes as the only time I can get work done without him constantly interrupting me. So much for that. FML
Today, I was late for work so I ran to catch the bus. I made it. Unfortunately, the bus was actually out of service, and I just sprinted to a parked vehicle for no reason. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Your train of thought must've been elsewhere in the past 6 years.

With that kind of massive inefficiency I can only assume you are a congressman

That's why muggles are stupid, just use apparition.

At least we have noses, 'Voldy'.

Who needs a nose when I can just swish my wand and you'd be dead on the floor, hm?

Oh swell, another character account. Let's see how long it takes for this to get old and stupid. Ok, it's officially old and stupid.

I really wasn't planning on having a character account, it just was my username, couldn't think of a better one. But I just thought my comment would be appropriate for this FML. I'm not a character account, just saying.

Google exists for a reason. Next time look it up, and if that doesn't work, talk to your coworkers. It's your own fault for not looking hard enough 6 years ago, or even checking during those 6 years.

How long was your commute before ? That's an outrageous amount of time. It takes me an hour and I thought that was too long.

Bonus tip for you. Try going out the front door when you leave for work. This will save you an extra couple of moments.

I had to read this FML a few times to understand it clearer. At first, I thought the OP was a bus/train repair man. :P

Get, take, they both mean the same thing right? ...wait.

On the bright side, you can now enjoy that hour and a half instead of loosing it by taking the train. Better late than never.

FYL just for having a job that far from your residence. I walk to work and it only takes me about half an hour.
