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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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 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, I was the last person in line for going on the bus. Incidentally, I was right behind a guy way taller and wider than me. When he got on the bus, the bus driver immediately shut the door behind him. I was left outside chasing after the bus. FML
Today, I was on the bus, when an elderly woman stepped in. She looked too weak to stand. She looked at me with sad puppy eyes, expecting me to give up my seat for her. I felt sorry and got up. As soon as she sat down, she said, "Ha! Sucker!" 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 said thanks to a man who got up for me in the bus. He angrily said "no, not you!". The old lady who sat down is now staring at me. FML
Today, while on a crowded public bus, a cute girl asked if she could sit next to me. Problem is, I didn't hear correctly and thought she asked if anyone was sitting next to me. I answered no, causing her to walk off angrily and earning me several disgusted stares from other passengers. FML
Today, while on the bus, I found out the seat I'd taken was the preferred spot of a very hostile and extremely overweight freshman. Instead of letting me find different place to sit, she half sat on me, and completely ignored my attempts to dislodge myself all the way to school. FML
Today, I was sitting on the bus to the gym. I saw that an old woman needed help to get off the bus, so I got up, and helped her off. When I had finally got her down the stairs the bus closed the doors and drove away. I was in the middle of nowhere and the bus drove away with all my things. FML
Today, as I caught the train home, a woman got on and sat on the only available seat next to me. We got talking and as the train approached the next station, she said that this was her stop and she had to go. She exited the train and I turn to see her enter the compartment behind me. FML

Just because she's pretty does not mean you should let her cut in line.

Plot twist: the next time you see a pretty girl again, she lets you go on first and the only seat open is next to the same snoring old man.

That's why you offer your lap to the girl as a seat. Everybody wins.

That's just creepy...
MrSassypants 34
No it's not. I do it all the time. I put my copies of the restraining orders they put against me on my refrigerator.

I read yours, 27, in Moe Syzlacks' voice for some reason. It was awesome.

That will teach you to be nice to someone because of their looks, in the hope that you get some form of reward. I feel like you're the type to complain about the friend zone. I could be wrong though.

What's the big deal? So he wanted to sit next to a pretty girl. Big whoop.
kayteakay 26
He wasn't being nice to her, he was plotting to get to know her.

#2: He had no obligation to let her take his place in line. He ultimately did her a favor. Are you seriously criticizing the fact that the favor was made based on his arbitrary whim and that it wasn't selfless enough? An indiscriminate rule on queue placement is impossible. You can't claim "everyone should let everyone in front of them", because there would be no people to stand in the front. A guy found someone attractive, let the girl pass him, all in hopes of merely basking in her presence for a short while on public transport. It is ludicrous to blame the poor shy guy for anything here.

He was clearly trying to open up an opportunity to talk to her. You think he's trying to get laid on a public bus?

You'd be amazed what some men have said to me on public transport. Not saying that OP is necessarily one of these men but some guys see it as an extended period of time with someone who can't walk away so they have no choice but to talk back. Sure, we don't know what OP's intentions were... whether he just wanted to sit near her or try to chat her up, we don't know. But in my own experience men on buses have always done the latter and it's just flat-out creepy.

Why is it that every time a guy does something nice for a girl or compliments a girl, people automatically assume he wants to sleep with her?
rylaii 26
If that girl would have had to take the next bus OP would have been a jerk. Double standards are awesome.

#22 : ...which makes him the most evil of all the villains of the universe! D:

No, it's the fact that he let her go before him only because she was pretty.

38, stop trying to turn everything into an issue of sexism. It's annoying, and you have no basis for assuming that.

Just because she's pretty does not mean you should let her cut in line.

If she has a nice butt you should

@19 I was originally in agreement with the op, but one can't really argue with that logic...

That'd be an awesomely funny twist, although not from the OP's perspective.

Just wait until next time you see her. Gentlemen and classy women are becoming increasingly scarce.
laden_swallow09 35
Sexy =/= classy
devildog562 33
Totally read this wrong , u though he gave up his seat, like a gentleman normally would. Apparently he's just a walking hardon, my mistake. My bad, yet my comment still stands about the lack of classy people .
Lustig_Junge 16
I guess fate doesn't want you to be with her.

Would've maybe worked better if you'd got her talking in line. Maybe could've pulled a last minute number when you found out you wouldn't be getting on the bus

I second this, let someone go in front and all they think is 'great I get to cut in!' but if you give her a smile, see if she reciprocates, then strike up a conversation you're far more likely to make an impression!

Had to click YDI because; the way this is worded has me thinking you wouldn't have been so selfless had the girl not been 'pretty' to you, and I personally would feel extremely uncomfortable knowing that some complete stranger specifically wanted to sit next to me on public transport. Sounds just a tad creepy, regardless of your intentions. Sorry.
atomictank 2
Maybe not so creepy seeing as the bus was full and thus he had no option?
Psycho_Babydoll 26
Well OP didn't know the bus was so full as he was expecting to get to sit next to said girl. He didn't realize it was full until she bought her ticket. So no, not really.
miss_amphetamine 24
Agreed. I get so uncomfortable if someone deliberately is trying to sit next to me. It's okay if there are no other seats, obviously, but if he didn't know the bus was going to be full and planned to sit next to a specific stranger, well, that's just weird.
Ameel_fml 19
It's especially creepy when there are plenty of vacant seats on a bus, but someone will sit RIGHT NEXT to you. I mean, I get that some people are just trying to be friendly. But it can be frustrating when you're giving off blatant "I don't want to talk" signals (e.g. headphones in my ears, reading a book, or talking to someone else) and random strangers STILL insist on sitting next to you and striking up a conversation. Doubly worse if it's a long bus ride and they insist on talking non-stop for an hour.

Or, they end up being John Candy in Planes, Trains..

Do they not let you stand on buses there? Inside the buses, not on the roof... **** it, just choose the roof next time. You'll impress her sooo much. ;)
EmoKami 21
My thoughts as well. People can stand in buses until you're almost at the front of the bus here in BC...
girI 20
And in Australia too. The average bus capacity here is 58 passengers; 43 seated and 15 standing.
more4me 27
Might depend on the bus. Maybe it's a little one where there is no standing room. Kinda like a shuttle.
janegeorge 16
Actually, this bus would have been taking him to a different city so everyone would have had to been seated. He should have made that clear, but I know that in that country, you wouldn't need a ticket if the bus wasn't leaving the city.
Ameel_fml 19
#37: Only on city buses. But if you're traveling long distance, you have to be seated.

Kinky!! No judgement ;)
