Today, I had to run for the train, but because of my bad foot and limping they held the train, much to people's displeasure. No one let me sit down, so for the 20 minute journey, I stood. With a bad foot. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was sitting waiting for my train for a long while. When it finally came, I had pins and needles in my foot. When I got up, I fell and unsuccessfully stumbled towards the train. The doors closed and it left without me. FML
Today, on my way to school, I was shouted at by an obnoxious businessman for sitting down on the train when a "full fare paying passenger" was standing. I would normally have given him the seat straight away, except I have a broken leg. I showed him my leg and crutches. He still made me get up. FML
Today, I ran for the train that was about to leave. I tried to hold the doors open with my leg and got stuck. The conductor just yelled out how unbelievable and ridiculous I was and waited 2 minutes to finally release me. Everyone was laughing at me. FML
Today, I ran to catch the train, but slipped on the stairs and fell on my shoulder. However, my effort was rendered useless; it wasn't even my train. FML
Today, my train was canceled so my ticket expired by the time another train arrived. I was fined $90 by ticket inspectors 'cause my claim that the early train didn't run was "unsubstantiated". Leaving the train I was pushed by the crowd, fell, lost a shoe and had to walk home with one bare foot. FML
Today, I was on train when an attractive girl got on. There were no free seats and seeing as how my stop was next, I gave her mine. As soon as I did, the train came to an immediate halt, due to "brake problems". I spent the next 40 minutes standing up. FML
Today, I was waiting for the train. It arrived, I got on and the woman behind me stepped on the back of my shoe. My shoe came flying off and landed in the gutter between the train and the platform. The doors closed, the train pulled away. FML
Today, I rushed onto the metro to get to work. I found there were no seats left and asked a perfectly healthy guy to let me sit in the handicap spot. He refused to because "being tired" was a handicap characteristic. I have one leg. FML
Today, I was on the train to work. I was up late the night before, causing me to doze off. When I woke up, I was at my station. I stood up, went to walk out of the door and fell flat on my face on a platform full of people. Someone had tied my shoelaces together. FML
Today, I took a busy train into the city. I was lucky enough to get a seat. People were forced to stand in the aisle in front of me, and the person directly opposite me, whose butt was level with my head farted in my face. Twice. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

That's a shame, because here, buses (and I assume trains by extension) have priority seating (i.e. seats that should be relinquished for those who have difficulty standing in a moving vehicle).

Just remember that just because someone doesn't look disabled doesn't mean they aren't. They could have had just as legitimate reason as OP for not giving up their seats. But some of them were probably just being ***** because OP held up the train.

How long could you really have held up the train for that would make people that pissed? Like who cares if it's 30 seconds to a minute behind schedule?

Yes, it would have been nice if someone offered their seat to the OP but some people are weird. OP is obviously getting around independently. Some people (like OP) would get offended if they were given "special" treatment and don't want to feel like a charity case.

Although I sympathise for your injury, I can see why people are annoyed about the delay. Public transport in England doesn't tend to be great at the best of times without extra delays, and people may have needed the train to be on time to catch a connection etc. where a couple of minutes delay can turn into a much longer one if they miss it. I've had that happen to me a few times and it isn't fun when you're trying to get somewhere.

The only person bitching here is the OP.

Not like they HAVE to let you sit down. It's not your right to have someone stand up for you, even if you have a bad foot.

No it's just common decency and respect. Which you, and the majority of the bus seem to lack. I find people like you disgusting. I would have gave up my seat even if it just an old person. With nk disability.

I say this because when people EXPECT you to stand up for them, that's when you don't deserve a seat.

get over it. once in Germany I rode a S-bahn train from Landstuhl to Mannheim holding in a shit; that's over a hour.

I'm pretty sure you can't even compare the two together. Op had to stand on her bad foot for almost 30 minutes, that going to hurt pretty badly.

Sorry but I have no sympathy. I work full time on a broken ankle and foot.

That is still no excuse for rude behavior. I really doubt they had to wait for more than 5 minutes extra for the train to depart. And that still does not excuse their rude response.

Please re-write this. It's annoying my eyes. Anyway, I'm sorry, OP. However, no one's entitled to a seat, including you.

What about the OP's post is so annoying to your eyes?

I think I might have misread it, but it feels like the first sentence got cut off. It looks like the second sentence should be connected to the first. It just reads weird...
