Prank culture has gone too far
Today, on the bus, my blood sugar level got too low and I passed out. When I came to, the woman next to me was hitting me, saying she needed to get off and that she didn't have time for my, "stupid fucking prank." FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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, I passed out when my blood sugar dropped. Three times. And each time, my roommate, who was right next to me, just let me fall because he liked the way my face looked. FML
Today, while on the bus, I began to fall asleep. Suddenly, a man next to me started laughing very loudly, scaring me and jolting me out from my nap. I was so scared, I reflexively punched the girl in front of me in the face. I was pinned down by three other men while the cops were called. 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 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 took the bus to work. A sweet old lady got on after and sat next to me. Halfway there, she fell asleep, her head on my shoulder. I gently tried to wake her up before my stop. She wasn't sleeping. I let a dead woman lie on me for 30 minutes. FML
Today, while I was on the bus, my foot fell asleep. When we arrived at my stop, I stood up and limped to the front of the bus. As I walked down the steps, I tripped, fell, and smashed my nose into the ground. The driver just laughed and drove away. FML
Today, I was on the bus, it hit a bump on the road and made me hit a elderly man. The bus driver thought I did it on purpose and made me get off. FML
Today, while on the bus, I took out my breath spray. The elderly lady beside me thought it was pepper spray. She panicked and started screaming, which culminated in the man near her punching me in the jaw. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

How inconsiderate of her. I would've thought someone else on the bus would've helped you out though.

to be honest, nowadays we have a lot of people doing those social experiments and sometimes even pranks ( where people faint/claim they need hell) that some people (that experienced those before) dont believe when someone really needs help (especially a young person). Its really inconsiderate of her to assume that its a joke, because that woman wouldnt want others to think it is a joke when she faints too...

Preach it!!!

I was standing up on a bus a couple of years back and got a horrible vertigo attack and fell and hit my head on a seat, causing me to pass out. When I came to, I apparently fell on someone and he was yelling at me to get the **** off of him. I was very disoriented at first and I did apologize for falling on the guy. People took out their phones to take pictures, but no one bothered to help me or even ask if I was ok. So I feel for you OP. I really do.

Maybe the others thought she had just fallen asleep while sitting in a seat riding the bus.

It amazes me how ignorant people can be. Hope you didn't miss your stop OP

Well with all the internet pranks, she probably thought it was a reaction prank.

Well, unfortunately, that is the average person nowadays, it seems

the average would sat there and said nothing

You must live in a crappy place if that is your average citizen, @4.

Story of my life! I passed out in the mall one time and no one believed I was diabetic. Apparently my medi-alert bracelet and pump weren't obvious enough and I'm "too young" to be diabetic.

Nick Jonas is diabetic. Is he too young? I think not. They should educate themselves instead of making assumptions.

Diabetes is when your pancreas doesn't give insulin so u need insulin injections. You need to manage your levels, it gets high when you eat too much without insulin or not enough insulin. So OP here probably had too much insulin, missed their meal, or just stress or something, that's what happens to me ✌?️ I feel your pain OP
AmberElise96 12
Type 1 Diabetes goes both ways. My pancreas doesn't make any insulin so I have to give it through my pump (a replacement for shots). If I don't give enough insulin my sugar spikes, if I give to much it drops.

Stress produces a hormone that raises your blood sugar.
jess_1193 13
Eh no. Stress makes your sugars drop

Holy shit, the same thing happened to me!

He was probably to dazed to even think straight.

Low blood sugar is no joke, that's how my mom died, your life is more important than someone getting off the bus!

Sorry, OP. I hope everyone voting YDI is doing so by accident
invadermaythe1st 35
I voted YDI because they clearly didn't take precautions steps to ensure this didn't happen. Also, I've been diabetic for 13 years, so I think I have a say in this, haha. (I did also vote, "Your life sucks" though, since being diabetic and in that situation sucks ass anyway)

56, I've been a type 1 diabetic for eighteen years and a bus rider for four. Have you ever tried testing on a crowded bus? It's damn near impossible, especially if you're already going hypo. Depending on their age/how long they've been diabetic, OP may not have been able to "feel" the low coming on as many young diabetics can (Before my grandfather passed he had absolutely no ability to differentiate between how he felt normally and how he felt when he was going low, which led to very many paramedic visits). To say that OP deserves this because you don't think he was combatting his diabetes appropriately is not only insulting, but is unsubstantiated without knowing more details.

I agree with you #62. I'm a type 1 diabetic and I use shots instead of the pump. Testing my blood sugar on the bus or subway is almost impossible and taking a shot on the bus is actually impossible. Not only that, but that stupid woman should be arrested for assault. Even if she didn't want to help, there was no reason to lay her hand on another person without permission. And the fact that OP didn't immediately wake up should have alerted her to the fact that something was wrong. She is an idiot.

#56, you can take all the precautions in the world, if you're going to feel ill,there's nothing you can do to prevent it. Anything can trigger it,no one wants to be ill. Especially on public transport
wheelchairchick 11
I passed out from mine being to low it was a one time thing. They aren't even sure why it dropped. Maybe that's what happen to them.
holly_fly 34
Who ever said OP had diabetes... I've got a friend with hypoglycemia, and there's no way to check that... She just feels her blood sugar start to drop and tries to get food.
LeavenSilva 27
I can't believe some people wouldn't try to help, if I saw someone pass out, I'd be trying to wake them while calling 911, not physically assaulting them
worldclassrager 41
How did she come to it being a prank? I mean that's not even reasonable
