Today, as I tried to get off the bus, my bag and the hand holding it got stuck between the exit doors. I dropped the bag in panic, but the driver wouldn't let me off until we got to the next stop. I had to walk all the way back to get my bag. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was on a very crowded bus, standing near the back door. People had to get off at the stop, and being near the door, I had to step off the bus, allowing the people to exit. I was about to enter back into the bus, the door closed and the bus driver took off, leaving me stranded. FML
Today, I was rushing to get on the train to work as I heard the "door closing" beeps. I was about to step onto the train when a man pushed me out of the way so that he could get on. My handbag fell out of my hand into the carriage. I stayed on the platform. FML
Today, I was walking towards the bus. The bus was scheduled to leave at 3:20, and it was 3:19 so I decided to run for it. As the doors were closing, I managed to just slip my hand into the door, so it didn't fully close. The bus driver saw this, looked at my face, and then drove away. FML
Today, as I was about to get onto the bus, my bus pass fell out of my hands. Being in a rush, I barely picked it up from the street not having a good grasp of it, just to have it fall again as I was about to swipe it. It felt like the whole bus was staring at me. FML
Today, I was sitting on the bus to the gym. I saw that an old woman needed help to get off the bus, so I got up, and helped her off. When I had finally got her down the stairs the bus closed the doors and drove away. I was in the middle of nowhere and the bus drove away with all my things. FML
Today, I temporarily got off the bus for the other students to get off, because they push and shove along their way. Then the bus driver closed the door on me and drove off. My laptop was on that bus. FML
Today, I was on a tram and I noticed an older lady having trouble getting down the stairs. I immediately got up to help her, dropping my bag on the seat accidentally. As I went to get back on the tram, the doors closed. FML
Today, I took the bus. The old lady next to me almost fell when the driver stopped, but I managed to catch her. Five minutes later, the same thing happened to me. The old lady tried to help me, but I lost my balance and pulled her skirt down. FML
Today, I was running to the bus stop to catch the bus. The bus driver smiled, waved, and drove away without letting me get on. FML
Today, at the train station a woman's baggage had gotten stuck in the ticket barriers, so I used my ticket to unlock the barriers for her but told her to wait so I could get through too. She didn't wait. And I got painfully stuck in the barriers whilst I watched my train go by. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Most bus drivers do this, it's a really stupid rule. FYL, it was probably cold out.

Has anyone noticed this FML says "as I tried to off the bus" does not say "get off the bus."

Hey, look on the bright side, you got exercise

There's no point in taking the bus if you had to walk anyway.

I was expecting you to say "you got your bag back" after "Hey, look on the brightside"

Some bus drivers are twats like that. Meh at least it's not all

He's not being a twat, he has a schedule to keep and if he's late he can lose his job

At least you got the bag back, right?

Is that even allowed? He could have just opened the door! I would complain if I were you OP!

Good side : You're safe and your bag was still there! But FYL for the "forced" walk.

Did you at least get your bag back?

did you read?

It doesn't confirm that the bag was still there. OP said that they had to walk back to get the bag, that does not mean that the bag wasn't missing when they got back to where it was lost.

I'm sure if the bag was gone the fml would have stated that as well.

If I understand this right, you had your hand and bag outside the doors, which closed on your arm, thereby causing you to panic and drop the bag? Did you just stand there with your hand in the door; or, was it the other way around in which it was only your hand inside the bus and your body haphazardly bouncing on the outside of the bus?

NGL I was picturing a bit of a looney toons style mishap when I first read this FML. Glad I'm not the only one

Halfway through reading I was picturing op having to walk alongside the bus, hand still caught, the real ending was a disappointment after that.

Glad to see that others were thinking this too. =D
