Today, after not seeing my boyfriend for 9 months, he came to meet me at the airport. I was so excited when I first saw him that I broke into a sprint to greet him. Apparently, running through the airport looks suspicious, because a security guard tackled me. Now I have a broken nose. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, after patiently waiting to see my boyfriend for a month because he was overseas, I excitedly went to the airport to finally pick him up, only for him to walk straight past me to greet his friends. He didn't even bring back anything for me, but brought back a suitcase full of goodies for his friends. FML
Today, I flew to see my long distance boyfriend who I haven't seen in 6 months. Upon seeing me, he ran up to me, picked me up and swung me around like they do in the movies. In doing so, my foot hit a 4 year-old child who was running past and knocked him out. FML
Today, my boyfriend returned from a 2-month internship in New York. As I saw him exit the plane, I imagined him running to me and kissing/spinning me around passionately like in movies. He got closer and closer, and as I opened my arms to embrace him, he runs past me saying, "BRB, I GOTTA TAKE A SHIT." FML
Today, I ran to hug my best friend at the airport after not seeing her for two years. I sprinted, arms wide, yelling her name. Turns out it wasn’t her. It was a stranger with the same haircut who looked absolutely horrified as I body-slammed them in baggage claim. My actual friend was behind me, trying to film the embarrassment. FML
Today, I was in the airport after saying goodbye to my boyfriend who left for three months. Walking back to my car, I saw a young couple kissing passionately. If that wasn't bad enough, the guy then picked his girlfriend up, spun her round in the air and her foot kicked me square in the jaw. FML
Today, my boyfriend accidentally broke my nose the day he was meeting my parents for the first time. FML
Today, at the airport, I was waiting for my best friend who's been away for over a year. I spotted her, ran over, yelled her name, and jumped on her back. It wasn't her. It was a complete stranger who was somehow more terrified than I was embarrassed. FML
Today, I went to pick up my long-distance boyfriend at the airport. It has been over six months since I last saw him and four days since I last heard from him. He never showed up. FML
Today, knowing my long-distance boyfriend was cheating on me with a local girl, I decided to make a surprise visit to confront him by showing up to his home. Both of them answered the door. My boyfriend claimed to not know me, and threatened to call the cops. I ended up back at the airport in tears. FML
Today, I went to the airport to pick up my long-distance boyfriend. Having waited six months for this, I was stoked. After waiting for three hours and sending numerous messages, I was eventually informed I was a week early. FML

Running through the airport looks romantic on movies - in real life? Not such a great idea. The security guard probably should have tried to do something nonphysical to stop you first, before tackling, though...

I call bull. I travel as a job and I run all the time to catch late flights. It is not a huge deal to see someone running in an airport. That guard is retarded.

I hate it when that happens... All you're trying to do is make a dramatic scene with that song "Reunited and it feels so gooood", and then the next thing you know, your nose is broken... FYL indeed...

Bullshit. Running in an airport,train station, subway or anything is not something you get tackled for.

ohhhh jeez :[ I broke my nose. It sucks. New Jersey, eh? (yes, I'm Canadian) Was it in Newark? They're pretty intense there. I arrived in Newark from Rome and departed there for Toronto and it was top notch security. It was pretty frightening.

I have to call bullshit on this one. If she were running through the airport, I'm sure any guard that was concerned would at least yell "Hey you, stop!" before TACKLING an American citizen into the ground. I mean, how does running even implicate anything threatening? Would terrorists really strike us by running at our citizens and battering them? Do suicide bombs require a running start? Come on people, this is ridiculous. It's not like the security guard couldn't plainly see that she's just a normal American woman, and not an Islamic fundamentalist or something...

I think it was probably just the kind of person the guard was. Some people are just plain idiots and take anything serious. And btw, white American women can be terrorists :P you never know these days
