Today, my football practice ended early due to severe weather. Not only had I misplaced my phone earlier in the day, both my parents thought the other had picked me up. I was in the rain for an hour and a half. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, my family went to a football game. It was a little cold, but then it started to rain. I wasn't dressed for rain and I'd left my umbrella in the car. My dad wouldn't let us leave our seats for the whole game. FML
Today, as usual, I went to pick up my brother and sister from school in the rain. When we got to my truck, I realized I had locked us out. We had to walk home in the rain, only to find the spare house key had not been put back in its spot since the last time it was used. FML
Today, it's my birthday. My dad came to pick me up, but after I had put my backpack in the back seat and closed the car door, he drove off without me. It started to rain, and I was without my phone or wallet. FML
Today, I missed my bus, so I walked home in the rain from school, only to realize my mom had been following me the whole time in the car, laughing her ass off. FML
Today, I had to wait an hour in the awful rain for my mom to pick me up, because she didn't realize the clocks had gone forward already. FML
Today, I got into an accident. As I was talking to a police officer about what happened, the tow truck driver managed to take my car and drive away, leaving me with no phone or wallet. I just spent an hour walking home in a hail storm. FML
Today, due to bad weather, my dad let me take his car to drive to my apartment 3 hours away. I only realized when I got there that my keys were still sitting on my parents' kitchen counter. FML
Today, I was home alone and it started to rain. It hadn't rained in days so I went out on my balcony and ran around. I felt great until I realized that my door had been swung shut because of the wind, and it had no handle. I had to wait outside in the rain for two hours. FML
Today, I got to sports practice 30 seconds late and got kicked out for "poor time management". FML
Today, I had to walk home from school in the rain, because my mom "didn't have a car to pick me up in". But when I got home, the car had magically appeared. Just great. FML

Didn't have a quarter or something for the pay phone?

I haven't seen a pay phone in at least ten years.

You were still fortunate, you could have been attacked by a bear or chased by a pack of grey wolves. There could have been venomous snakes or a cougar nearby. You could have encountered feral dogs. You could have been struck by lightning and been electrocuted

I think if I knew how old you were, it would make it easier to figure out if YDI or this is an FML. If you are really young, you may not be able to sort out another way if getting home. If you are in your late teens YDI for not finding some way of contacting your parents or getting home on your own.

Agreed. You think after 16 at least you would be able to get a ride home from a friend or borrow a phone. I'm surprised the coach didn't stay to make sure that the kids were picked up though. I thought that was standard.

This happened to me as a kid several times when my mom was pregnant with my little brother. She'd fall asleep and forget to get me and I'd be waiting outside in the middle of winter. Eventually I just started walking home.

This is why you should never assume things- usually it is someone else who pays the price first. Next time it might be a good idea to walk to a convienance store, post office, or some other business and ask to use their phone. Do NOT go to a house to do this- it is a major safety risk, especially since with your parents. An hour and a half is more than enough time for someone to severely harm you. So use public businesses. That said, your coach shouldn't have left until he knew that everyone had been picked up- that was severely negligent of him. You could have been abducted, murdered, struck by lighting, tripped and broken something, died of hypothermia and so many other things because he ignored his responsibilities and duties to you. I think you need to report the situation to either the principal if he is a school coach, or to whatever group runs the team. In my county, a staff member has to stay with any students that are at a location for a school run activity, and cannot leave until they are all picked up or have gone home some other way.
