Today, a girl started talking to me at the bus stop. After it descended into an awkward silence, I jumped on my bus to avoid further conversation. She got on the same bus. And got off at the same stop. I swear the whole bus could feel the tension. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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 riding the bus home from school. I was sitting by myself, and my backpack was occupying the seat next to me. A hot girl boarded the bus, and was standing right where I was sitting. I placed my backpack on my lap, freeing up the seat. The girl stood the entire bus ride. FML
Today, I saw a beautiful girl on the bus. Struck up a good conversation, walked with her all the way to my office. Forgot to ask her name and number. This is the second time I've done this. FML
Today, I was on the bus, heading to work, when the girl beside me started yelling at me, claiming I was staring down her shirt. I did no such thing, but the driver nonetheless stopped the bus and made me get off, all under the withering glares of the other passengers. FML
Today, a guy hit on me. It's such a rare occurrence that I didn't know how to react, so I panicked and said "Sorry, I have to go!" Then I remembered we were on a bus, and just turned around and awkwardly pretended he wasn't there. FML
Today, a pretty girl joined the line at the bus station. I let her skip the line and go before me so I could sit next to her. After she bought her ticket, I realized there were no more seats left on that bus. I was told to get off, and had to take the next bus, sitting next to a snoring old man. 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
Today, I was riding the bus home from college. I was standing in the aisle and there was a rather cute girl sitting next to me. The bus came to an abrupt stop, I tripped, and fell into her lap. She shrieked, "Eww! Get off me!" and shove me onto the floor of the bus. Nice to know I'm revolting. FML
Today, I got on the bus. Before I could make it to a free seat, the driver hit the gas, and the sudden movement caused me to stumble and accidentally grab onto another passenger for support. She didn't appreciate this, accused me of molesting her, and got me thrown back off. FML
Today, while riding the bus, a creepy guy gave me the "rape glare" and another guy repeated every word to the conversation I was having with my friend under his breath. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

This is almost as awkward as when you say bye to somebody and you both walk the same way...

Unless they give you candy and let you ride in their magical van

And he didn't pretend to text someone?

The whole "don't talk to strangers rule" really becomes a problem when I find I need my electricity fixed or some other service I don't know how to do myself. Makes me really jealous of the guy from Pawn Stars who has a hell of a lot of buddies who are experts in nearly everything...

Then how are you supposed to make friends
reddudeover 2
Op should have yelled, "I need an adult"!
citymayer 7
Sometimes strangers don't know that rule and start talking to you. /:

But if I don't talk to strangers, I won't almost get kidnapped. Again.

In Canada no one's a stranger. We're all friends here.

Lol....*awkward silence*

Normally,only the first commenter can say that
madelinebriana 11
^you shouldn't have gotten thumbed down for that! number 2's original comment said "first" but she edited it
gill4liife 0
Beautiful girls shouldn't be ever thumbed down either...
joooeee 3
Creepy guys with pictures of just their abs should never be up voted either...
unknown_user5566 27
34- Implications like that are the reason why *some* women think they can glide through life just because they're attractive.
raaawwwrrZ 8
53-there was no implication. 34 was very upfront with his opinion
unknown_user5566 27
60- The implication was that beautiful girls are above receiving criticism because of their looks.

Stranger danger! The danger here is epic awkwardness. To avoid such horrible events in the future, wear earphones and listen to music. It'll stop her talking to you.

That actually doesnt work.... Some creepy old guy kept talking to me. I guess earbuds and a hood up dont give a big enough "**** you"
commonlogicz42 6
Your kidding me? You actually passed up the opportunity to mind **** a complete stranger? You missed out. Next time, make them regret they ever opened their mouth. There are countless ways to do so, one of my personal favorites is to pretend you have split personalities. You can be as many people as you want! And if the conversation gets slightly dull, have one with yourself!
that_band_nerd 22
Usually I hate when strangers are genuinely being nice and talk to me but this comment^ makes me a whole lot happier! I can't wait for the next fool to try and talk to me! O.o

You need to get out more if this is how you react to a girl talking to you...
your_ma 27
He didn't say this happens every time a girl spoke to him. Don't jump to conclusions. Small talk with a stranger under any circumstances can be a little bit awkward and descend into uncomfortable silence!
KiddNYC1O 22
That said... maybe you need to get out more, #5.
Drigr 9
But it is COMPLETELY rational for OP to hurry to get away from this girl, be so tense from merely being in her presence the whole bus could feel it, and then run off the bus to get away?
KeyboardWarrior 10
If it was a guy it would be the same. Feel free to stop commenting anytime now.
your_ma 27
79- I'm too sleepy to explain why you're talking shite point by point so could you just please shush and save me the hassle?? Thanks :)
evilplatypus 39
79 - I'm completely disagree. It depends on what the other person said. A girl in one of my classes told me (unprompted) during our first class that she liked to cut herself to lick the blood and not two minutes later told me my veins looked beautiful and "ripe". You can bet your ass anytime I had to look at her during the semester it was weird and awkward after that.
Discombobulated9 12
Wow, guys; there is no need to bully #79. She just looked at OPs situation in the wrong light; it happens to us mere mortals sometimes- we make mistakes.
Drigr 9
85 - see my profile. And whoevers comment was last, I'm male, just fyi ;)
jizzwold 21
I don't see why what 79 said would be wrong. The op made it sound like they were just having a simple conversation. If the girl in the fml said something as disturbing as the girl in evilplatypus's story did then wouldn't the op mention that?
SenselessPattern 12
And here is a classic example of people switching sides from bandwagoning to rooting for the underdog. Thanks -79 for participating in this experiment.
Discombobulated9 12
#96 I didn't switch sides, I just didn't see any reason to be mean to 79.

I agree. Avoid by going to bathroom or into store to buy gum, or turn cell phone on vibrate and pretend you checking voicemails.
mvems 13
^ you are extremely prepared
stevenJB 25
Uhm...maybe she likes you...?
Pandacupcakelove 26
Uuuh yeah! Having a crush on a complete stranger is perfectly normal...
your_ma 27
Uhm... maybe he doesn't like her...?
your_ma 27
67 - actually I think it is fairly normal to occasionally see a complete stranger and think they're hot.. :/
MuseFan1991 14
67- so you dont have a crush on any celebrities or anything then?
rhysfucker 24
Poor creeper. Now you have a creeper of your own! That's so sweet!
RedPillSucks 33
Silence is only awkward if you make it so. If you have nothing to say, you have nothing to say.
IAmCicero 3
Oh poor Cicero has so much to say, but so little time. You see Red having nothing to say is not a good thing, or maybe it is... The ever prolonging silence creates tension and awkwardness between the two. Until one leaves, stopping it.
alycion 39
Agreed. I've talked to many people where the convo just drifted off and we went about our own business. I have met one or two who kept looking at me like they expected me to keep the convo going but usually a friendly smile sufficed.

Poor Mexican cow! :( What? Whenever a there's an awkward silence a Mexican cow gets slapped!! XD
ICastillo 25
Well OP was the girl your sister, because that would explain a lot....
unknown_user5566 27
I fail to see why that situation would explain anything.
ICastillo 25
You know they would be going to the same place...... Ahhh never mind it is a failed attempt at a funny comment.
unknown_user5566 27
I shall let it slide, just this once. Just don't let it happen again. :)
ICastillo 25
Haha ok thanks, I promise it won't.
AH1Zviper 15
Well when that happens, usually what I do is say " Hey look it's a ______! " Then when she's looking the other way, I just run like hell.

I'm going to start using that now.

I read that as a giant man eating a mammoth zombie, on first glance. Either way.
