Today, during my first day as a doctor’s intern, I attended a consultation. The embarrassed patient asked me to leave. Not really knowing my way around, I went through the first door I could find. By the time I realized it was a closet, I didn’t dare come back out. Twenty minutes is a long time to wait. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I walked into what I thought was my doctor’s new office building for my appointment. I sat down, only to realize five minutes later that I was sitting in a small conference room where they were holding a staff meeting, and not the waiting room I thought it was. I had to wait for the doctor's receptionist to come get me. FML
Today, during my first day as a medical intern in a new ward, I was performing a rectal exam. My supervisor thought it would be funny to burst into the room and scream, "Who are you?! You don't even work here, you pervert!" FML
Today, I had two different doctor's appointments with different specialists at the same hospital. Doctor #1 kept me waiting so long doctor #2 refused to see me. I tried to explain I was in the building and why I was late, but he wouldn’t hear it. I’d already waited 4 months for these appointments. FML
Today, I left work early because I had a doctor's appointment. After sitting in the waiting room for twenty minutes, I realized I was at my old doctor's office. My actual appointment was across town. I was already late. FML
Today, I went to the doctor's office for an appointment. After waiting for ages, I asked the receptionist what the delay was. Apparently, I had no standing appointment today. This is coming from the same receptionist who checked me in nearly two hours ago. FML
Today, I was waiting in a doctor's office when I was approached by an elderly woman. She told me all about the ripping of her stitches in a very private place, in exhaustive detail. Of course, today was the day my doctor chose to be an hour late. FML
Today, after checking in and waiting for three hours to see the doctor, the receptionist said she forgot about me because she didn't see me. She asked me to come back tomorrow. I was sitting right in front of her. FML
Today, I had a doctor's appointment. I arrived early so I could check in with the receptionists about this weird communication mixup that's caused me to miss my last two appointments. Despite what my appointment card said, I arrived to find the office closed. FML
Today, it was a normal day working as a medical receptionist, until I told a wheelchair-bound patient to “take a seat” out of habit. She responded with, “I brought my own!” I have never felt more embarrassed. FML
Today, I had a dentist appointment and walked into what looked like the clinic but it was a dental lab. Two technicians were polishing dentures so I asked where Dr. Patel’s office was. They pointed me down a corridor as if it explained why I’d just sat in their reception reading outdated magazines for 5 minutes. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Well congratulations on finally coming out of the closet! :) But that's beside the point, did you find Narnia?

1 - it's not that big of a deal. He/she was just in a closet for some time, it's not the end of the world.
katcot99 11
Guys, I'm not talking about that. It sucks that he got kicked out of the room. I know how that feels. It's not that 29 minutes is all that bad. I was talking about the fact that it happened.

Why should I even bother looking at buried comments anymore...-_-

46- Because that is the FML commitment one makes when creating an account.

Wow can't believe she got thumbs down for having sympathy. No wonder yalls lives suck, it's karma for being mean people
DYL1001 3
WOW. O-O
MaddieLynn123 7
I don't see why someone would give so much sympathy to someone who was in a closet for 20 minutes, especially if they chose to be there.
alexup24 13
53- It's called sarcasm. You must be new around here eh?

31: erm, don't think OP thought it was offensive that they got kicked out of a room. if the patient didn't feel comfortable with OP in there, they had a right to speak up for themselves.

Hey 63, stop being an idiot and pull your head out of your ass, she was being sympathetic, it's the right thing to do! Like the right thing to do to you is sacrifice you in a volcano.

1 - Nice sentiment there, but let's think logically for a moment. If you feel sorry for this person, you'll feel sorry for just about every FMLer. The threat that you think "Omg I'm so sorry!!" is a worthwhile comment for everyone to read *and* you're apparently a quick typer is far too great to let slide.

You all really need to chill the hell out. It's FML, supposed to be a place to have fun and share. If you don't like a persons comment thumb them down and move on. Quit trying to pick them out and make them even not even want to come back. Gosh.
katcot99 11
Yes! Victory! I have created a number 1 comment where people actually say something to me! Instead of using #1 to get lots of thumbs.

Spring break Florida?

135- Just because bad things occasionally happen doesn't mean life isn't good. I attempt to submit FMLs because: 1) The bad things in life can be amusing, after the fact and especially to other people. 2) I'd like to have one posted to see what kind of feedback I get.
alexup24 13
149- you don't need to be first to get lots of thumbs up, okay you do... but you still need to out thought into the comment.

Hey 53! Stop preaching to everyone because someone you've never even met got their feelings hurt on the Internet.

Well congratulations on finally coming out of the closet! :) But that's beside the point, did you find Narnia?
katcot99 11
Who said he got out of the closet?
llamafish 25
Wait, you did actually come out right? You aren't posting from the closet?
DrDilllonReese 12
If he never left the closet he'd ******* starve. So nature is who said he got out of the closet.
llamafish 25
NOT IF HE FOUND NARNIA.
llamafish 25
10 - It could have been 20 minutes and counting, who are we to know?
llamafish 25
And he edited it. Don't I look stupid :/ I really wish I could edit mine...
iamBrody 1
Yes, them stating that they were in the for 20 minutes is indicative that they eventually came out.

Better to come out right away then way later

That's what I was thinking.
ladyLALAA 29
Yep, should've came out straight away, much less embarrassing then having to explain the reason you were missing for 20 minutes!

Watch out OP. Creepers spawn in the dark.

That's a nice clossssssset you've got there. It would be a ssssshame if someone were to open it.

Times like that you have to take your time and question what is going to happen. Like when chickens can finally cross the road without us questioning their motives...oh boy...may the lord help us all when that happens.
perdix 31
You came out of the closet after only 20 minutes? Some people take years!
