Today, I was getting ready to perform a speech in anthropology on the globalization of public transportation and how it brings cultures together. On the bus ride there, the girls behind me were discussing ways to hide their track marks after injecting. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I caught the train into the city. Halfway there some kids hopped on smelling of marijuana and alcohol. Their topic of discussion? How much pubic hair they had. FML
Today, while on the bus, I started a conversation with the person next to me. After a little back and forth, she finally said, "Do you think people will stop talking to me if I say I have AIDS?" FML
Today, I was faced with the inevitable horrible circumstances which lead me to put in a tampon on a moving city bus. FML
Today, I was on the bus. I heard a click right before something small hit my cheek. I looked over to see the lady next to me cutting her long, dirty fingernails. The bus was too crowded to move and It was a 20 minute ride to work. FML
Today, while on the bus, I had to stand as all the seats were taken. I was standing behind a group of small girls who were messing around with their bags. As they were swinging them, one hit me square in the nuts with her elbow. The girl said, “Wise up, I hardly touched you.” I missed my stop. FML
Today, I was sitting on the bus when a large woman with what seemed like the flu came to sit beside me. After snorting hideously for five minutes, she picked up her scarf, blew her nose into it, and dropped it. It fell on my lap. When I stood up to leave the bus, there were streaks of snot on my new skirt. FML
Today, a woman who badly needed to change her incontinence pad sat next to me on the bus. I could smell it through my mask. FML
Today, as I walked on to the bus, the girl I liked whispered something to her friend. Curious, I asked what was so funny. She said she never realized that when I got on, I shook the bus. FML
Today, I was giving an anti-drugs speech to a group of ninth graders. I got onto the topic of trafficking from problem countries and asked a student to point out Mexico City on a map. He hesitated a few seconds before pointing at Canada. What the hell has the education system come to? FML
Today, I got off a long shift and went to the bus stop. Upon arrival, I saw a girl giving a guy a blowjob. Disgusted, I tried to avoid them and sat on the bench to wait. The girl popped up angrily and looked over at me. "Can't you give us some privacy?!" This is the only bus stop nearby. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Anthropology is the study of human evolution, biologically and culturally...so this girl wants to give a speech about how buses and such help bring people of all cultures and lifestyles together. On a public bus, on the way to her class, two heroin addicts are discussing hiding their vein scars. Talk about mixing cultures. If you don't get it now, then fyl.

I bet that poked a few holes in your logic.

so there was definitely a bringing of the cultures together in public transport. if you want the tourist version, travel by plane, not by bus.

I'm all for the globalization of public transportation, but you meet some of the wierdest people on Earth during bus rides. My personal favourite is the guy who eats nothing but gas inducing food such as burritos, McDonalds, eggs, or KFC the entire trip, and then does not even hesitate to "share the wealth" with everyone on board.

As an Anthropology major, this FML tickles my funny bone. But its nowhere near as funny as watching the YouTube generation here scratching their heads trying to figure out WTF the OP is talking about. Don't worry about it, kids. Go back to your text messages and tumbling scholastic standards.

I might get it. Maybe. You have to admit, hearing people talk about hard drugs on buses is pretty depressing.

I'd think not fully understanding the drug jargon would be a good thing.

...His desperate attempt to assert his superiority on "fmylife.com" made me wonder why commenter #21 needs to validate himself in such a pathetic way. But he probably wont read this, since he is on his way to an elementary school to brag to the 5th graders about how he studied anthropology that one time at community college.

This is somewhat insulting. I'm barely 19 and I took cultural anthropology my second semester in college. It had to be one of the best classes I ever took and understood everything quite well. Stop bragging and yapping about what you know and start trying to make a difference. It is ppl like you that make us wonder why different generations and cultures can't get along at times or agree on certain facts. Unfortunate event to have heard all that OP but go on, I'm sure you'll ace that speech ;)

I find that very stereotypical considering I am part of that generation and I understood it completely.

Glad to see somebody on the side of the bellcurve with a future!

Yep, great class for an elective, but a major? I predict teacher, or sales after.

Okay, so you're saying that just because I didn't understand what Anthropology was, I am a dumbass text-addicted teen? Wow, talk about stereotyping. Firstly, I am one of the smartest in my class. I got 100% on my last math test, which was pretty easy for me, and all my teachers think I'm great.

Secondly, I barely ever text ANYONE, and that's not because I don't have the money, ehich I definantly do. So stick your holier-than-thou opinions up your ******* ass, because to be honest, I don't give a shit.

Lol yeah dude was a stuck up prick. Asking questions doesn't make you dumb, being afraid to ask questions does.

Irony is a self-proclaimed anthropology major generalizing an entire generation of people.

98, I love you for catching that. 21, grow up.

The only part I didn't understand was what "track marks" meant, but it was quickly remedied after researching Urban Dictionary.

It's wrong to judge OP ;)

Public transportation is like driving the trailer court around town.

Any junky with a lack of self respect knows to inject it into the webbing of the toes. On the other hand however drugs in a very messed up way bring people together and public transit is a common place for such a gathering or discussion.

Maybe, just maybe OP, the conversation would've sidetracked to something like this: "I don't think make-up will cover it up, what do you think?" "To hell with what I think, don't you think the Korean culture is off the hook?" "Oh yes. As well as the Japanese culture. Let's ponder about this for a while..."
