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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was on the bus during rush hour. A fly started buzzing around my head, and I swatted at it, at the exact moment the woman beside me decided to get out of her seat and put her face straight in the path of my hand. 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, 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 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, 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, the person next to me broke into a coughing fit. Fortunately, he covered his mouth. Unfortunately, he used my arm. FML
Today, I was sitting on a bus. I'm deaf. An old lady looked very angry at me and started talking. Then she looked like she was screaming. I had to type on my phone that I'm deaf. Apparently, I'd been stepping on her foot. She decided to poke me in the eye and type, "Now you're blind too." FML
Today, I was sitting on the bus and as I'm quite short my legs were dangling. Some guy, who wasn't looking where he was going, tripped over my foot and went flying. He and everyone else on the bus glared at me like it was deliberate. The man next to me even changed seats in disgust. FML
Today, I was taking the bus to work and it was a rather bumpy ride. The child sitting across from me asked her mom if her chin moves like mine when the bus goes up. 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

Next time you're on the bus with her, use a Pedegg and empty the contents into her bag.

Why so many FYL? Why are people so afraid to TALK in so many FMLs like this? You have a mouth, use it to speak up. YDI.

The first thing I thought of was a gun being pointed to OP's face. They heard a click (metallic gun click) and something small hit their cheek (the gun's barrel). Anyways, sorry to hear that.

I hate riding public transport due to the lack of respect, dignity and civility average citizens have for others. I had to ride one day and a teen nonchalantly finished his bag of make-my-waist-grow, let the bag gently float to the ground, wiping his greasy fingers on his jeans moments later. I got up from my seat, picked the bag up and gave it to him saying "oh, I think you dropped this". He was embarrassed and because I wasn't nasty about it he dropped it in the waste bin after getting off at his stop. There are ways of making people aware that their behaviour is not socially acceptable that will enlist their buy-in as opposed to fighting with them. You could joke that you didn't wear your safety glasses so it would be best if they could wait till they got home to cut their nails. I don't know, something to make light but get the point across without being nasty.

I had to endure a 3 hr bus ride squashed against a morbidly obese woman once. The seat next to me was the only one left, as she stepped on the bus I heard people snicker and laughing at my misfortune as she plopped down next to me. She was actually sitting on half of me. :(
