Today, I was sick on an airplane. As we were taking off, I felt like I was ready to hurl. I was sitting in the window seat and was unable to get up in time to go to the bathroom so I was forced to grab the nearest container to puke in. It was a glass of juice belonging to the woman next to me. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, on my airplane ride home, the woman next to me wasn't feeling too well. She pulled out the air sickness bag to throw up into and missed. Her vomit splattered all over the seat in front of her and all over me. We were both covered in puke. And that was only my first of two flights. FML
Today, I was on an early flight home after a night of drinking. I was sat in my seat when I started feeling sweaty and nauseous. I grabbed the puke bag and started gagging, then puking, and a really loud fart came out. Everyone heard it. The attendant switched me seat to sit alone. FML
Today, I fell violently ill half an hour into a flight. I got sick so suddenly that I projectile vomited all over my clothes and the seat in front of me, and to top it all off, I also got diarrhea. Eight more hours to go. FML
Today, I traveled by plane for the first time. Once in the air, I was absolutely terrorized by the whole experience. Luckily, they had free booze on board, so I necked some to steady my nerves. Unfortunately, the vodka mixed with air turbulence made me spurt some vomit into my lap. FML
Today, I went on a long flight. I was fortunate enough to sit next to a great girl. However, she must have thought I was not so great, because she moved to the empty seat across the aisle. Next to my dad. Who then told stories about how I always get motion sickness on airplanes. I then threw up. FML
Today, on a plane home from Ireland, my husband who was severely hungover, vomitted in a bag before we took off. When he got up to put the bag in the bin the stewardess forced him to sit back down. I had to hold on to a bag full of vomit for a good few minutes whilst my husband was passed out. FML
Today, I was taking the bus back to my university campus, having left work early feeling sick. While on the bus I started retching. I managed to hold it in for a while, but as I stood up to get off the bus, I started puking through my mouth and nose. This was in front of twenty other passengers. FML
Today, while I was flying on American Airlines back from visiting family, a newborn puked its breakfast all over my HP mini, knocked my orange juice into my lap, then coughed up another layer on top of it all. I couldn't change my pants because of we were about to experience turbulence. FML
Today, I had a several-hour-long flight. I was put in a seat at the very back of the plane. Before the plane even lifted off, a woman took a dump in the bathroom that I stank for the rest of the flight. Whenever I tried to get some sleep, the flight attendant walked past, savagely jostling me. FML
Today, I got my own row on an almost full transatlantic flight. All it took was having food poisoning two hours into the flight. FML

One thing I don't get: How the hell does that woman drink her glass of juice just as the plane is taking off? She must have insane hand-eye coordination to account for the turbulence.

Actually my boyfriend got sick on a plane too and there weren't any barf bags in his, mine or the people across the aisles seat back pocket. This was on a major airline too. Sucks man, but I'm sure she's glad it wasn't all over her or you! I'd sacrifice my juice to not get puked on.

This is more of an FML for her. xD You'll both get over it. At least you didn't puke on her.

Not seeing the FYL in this.. I guess YDI since if you knew you were sick you should get out the barf bag in case.

Dude, airlines provide barf bags for a reason. How could you just have vomited into someone else's glass of juice? Totally lame. How does this even qualify as as FML?

Some airlines don't have barf bags anymore. You can ask for them, but since people generally don't get ill as often as they used to. Also the air hostesses should have taken the glasses away before take-off. But at least you didn't throw up on the woman next to you, or in her bag of newly bought duty-free items. It's not that bad. I was sick on myself on a bus once, which ended up making my 5 hour bus/train journey take 10 hours.

Generally you don't even get glasses of anything before take-off, so I'm not sure how she had a glass of juice and the tray down (not in it's upright position). And, as many others mentioned, some may not have barf bags anymore, but most do. Also, if you are sick and you are getting on a plane, wouldn't you think to have something of your own nearby anyways?

I think she was glad it went into her glass and not over her

Come to think of it, on the recent flights I'd been on (three last year), we hadn't been served drinks until after take-off. (and #11, holding onto a glass while takeoff doesn't require any skill whatsoever.) Hmm.... bullshit?
