Today, after being terrified for years, I went on a plane for the first time. It was also the first time I "emergency landed." FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I traveled by plane for the first time. Once in the air, I was absolutely terrorized by the whole experience. Luckily, they had free booze on board, so I necked some to steady my nerves. Unfortunately, the vodka mixed with air turbulence made me spurt some vomit into my lap. FML
Today, I worked up my courage and took an elevator for the first time in my life. Unfortunately, it was also my first time getting trapped for several hours in an elevator. FML
Today, I flew to Mexico with my (now ex) boyfriend of two years. It was my first time flying, and apparently I have a fear. I had a panic attack on the plane. When we landed, I got dumped for "causing a scene." I am now stranded in Mexico alone for two weeks with no hotel room booked. FML
Today, my ex looked at me for the first time in months. I felt like I could fly. Seconds later my flight ended. I fell down the stairs. FML
Today, after 10 years of frequent international air travel, I got my seat upgraded for the very first time. Also, for the very first time in 10 years, the airline lost my luggage. FML
Today, I went on my first ever assisted skydive. I fainted after we jumped, and only came to as we touched the ground. FML
Today, after spending the night anxiously waiting for a negative COVID test result which would allow me to travel, I got to the airport in the morning, despite delays, and finally realized that my wallet is sitting on my couch at home. I'm on the plane now. There's no going back. FML
Today, I left on my honeymoon with my wife who is terrified of flying. The pilot announced incoming storms in the flight path, and the man next to me starts saying it's "probably fate" and "we all have to go sometime." My wife went into a full panic attack. We hadn't even left the ground yet. FML
Today, I was on an airplane, riding in first class for the first time in my life. The man next to me turned to me just before takeoff, stared at my chest, and said that he hoped there would be severe turbulence. FML
Today, I'd booked a window seat for my first flight because I wanted to enjoy the view. A few minutes after takeoff, I fell asleep. I woke up just as we were about to land, with a dead phone, a stiff neck, and absolutely no idea what the clouds looked like. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

-40 since when were women born without vaginas?
letsgoflyakite 2
how come men are sometime told to "grow a pair" when they are born with a penis? "grow a pair" is an expression people often use for both women and men, meaning stop being a coward. Gosh I was just joking around..

You do know that "grow a pair" is talking about balls not a penis, right?

this means grow a pair of balls. I've never heard someone tell a girl to grow a pair but that would be funny.

wow... everybodies such a dry crusty ass prude when it comes to joking around on fml! they should seriously consider re-naming it to "gosh what a bunch of insecure little niches trying to make themselves feel better by either hating on each other, or being a ******* prude and calling someone an idiot" None of you have the ******* right above anyone else! Hahaha op you should have dislodged your shoe from his lower intestine and ran before he kicked you back, but why kick a guy in the nuts or a girl in the bewbz. That's just fighting dirtyyy.x(

67- Yes, but some people are dumber than others. And it is more or less the internet's job to make everyone feel stupid at some point or another.

No one died last year in America from a commercial plane crash. Don't worry, that's better odds than driving.

That would be awful!

flying is still the safest way to travel. superman said it so it must be true!

Yes it is very safe you are most likely to crash in a car than a plane.

74, one incident compared to the thousands of car crashes each day? Oh, okay.
firefail1031 0
those thousand crashes rarely result in loss of life. Most plane crashes will lose several lives if not more. ratio is a lil different....

Sounds like that didn't help your fear.

really?
jonathan6773 5
Probably because the pilot can only speak Spanish while flying over the border.

so I'm guessing you agreed to open the door in case of an emergency, first one on the ground
