Today, as I sat down for my flight, I realised that the passenger I had to sit next to for the next seven hours was wearing a necklace made from tampon packaging. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, within the first 15 minutes of a nonstop 8-hour flight, the guy sitting next to me picked an eyelash he found on my face, stared at it for a few seconds, and stuck it in his mouth. FML
Today, as I sat down in the plane, I realized that for the next seven hours I would be sitting next to a priest who refused to stop praying aloud, and an old man who wanted to tell me the story of how the toothpick came to be. FML
Today, I have an eight hour transatlantic flight and the person sitting next to me has already filled his third sick bag. This wouldn't be quite so bad were we not still at the terminal with passengers still boarding the plane. FML
Today, I'm on a 16 hour flight. Five minutes in, the lady on one side has clipped her toenails onto me and the guy on the other side has the most horrific gas I have ever smelled. To help this problem he bought a cheese plate from the stewardess. 15 hours and 55 minutes to go. FML
Today, I discovered the worst possible situation in which to get explosive diarrhea: on a 9-hour transatlantic flight. Next to an attractive single guy. FML
Today, a guy sitting next to me in class asked me for a pen. I accidentally handed him a tampon instead. FML
Today, I was faced with the inevitable horrible circumstances which lead me to put in a tampon on a moving city bus. FML
Today, I got my period early. While traveling. For a funeral. I had to walk through two entire airport terminals to find a shop that had any period products, and the only option was an $18 box of tampons. Six tampons, to be precise. FML
Today, after visiting my mom, she stuffed a bunch of pads in my backpack so I'd have some at my dorm. When I was going through security, I was stopped and ended up missing my flight. Apparently the jumbo pads my mom sent look exactly like packs of cocaine when they go through the X-ray machine. FML
Today, while using the bathroom on an airplane, someone walked in on me wiping my butt. That person just so happened to be the stranger I was sitting next to. It was an 8 hour flight. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

That must have been one uncomfortable flight!
xXxIracebethxXx 14
Really? It would be uncomfortable? Am I the only one failing to see how that is an FML? I mean, if the passenger wasn't doing any harm, then... YDI for being so prissy, OP.

Am I the only one who fails to see how exactly this would be uncomfortable? I mean, if the passenger wasn't bothering OP in any way, then I guess OP deserves it for being such a priss about it.

11- no your not the only one, I agree.
xXxIracebethxXx 14
#16 - Thank you! At least one other agrees... Some people need to chill out over petty things.

It could somehow be uncomfortable, but it kind of is suspicious. You can never be too careful on plane rides these days.
JocelynKaulitz 28
Maybe she didn't have pockets and had to keep them somewhere, just in case.
abceasyas123abc 12
Maybe it's a dare.

42: How is that suspicious? It's just weird. I honestly don't see the big deal about it. OP needs to get over it, there could be much worse people to sit by.

I agree with #11. OP doesn't even need to look at the passenger next to her if the necklace bothers her that much.

But the OP still knows that the lady is there. If it made her uncomfortable before it could make the whole ride uncomfortable, even if she is sitting somewhere else.

Tell her you have a necklace like that too and spark a conversation.. Or just ask to move seat :)
Pandacupcakelove 26
47- Yeah, cause you really want to start a conversation with a person like that...

Don't judge a book by its cover. It could've been a special gift from someone.
Pandacupcakelove 26
54- Not sure if trolling... Yeah, you've got to be trolling.

@54 That makes every terrible christmas sweater, creepy ornament, or disturbingly-scented product look absolutely amazing by comparison.
Sliver1991 26
It could make someone odd, but suspicious? Going a bit too far there. I'd actually be intrigued and maybe ask about it.
megpie20693 11
That makes my fear of flight even worse! Why didn't ya ask to be moved?
onlychildFTW 34
Plane could have been full and no seats. But that sucks OP. Why does it seem people keep getting weirder and weirder. (life-guard FML another example). This was my 600th comment. Woohoo!

77- Normally, I would chastise you for speaking out loud every insignificant and nonsensical thing that spews from your addled mind, but you obviously have Tourrete's, so here's to hoping for a cure.

Awkward ... I hope they didn't start a conversation about it :/ Sorry for you OP

Well at least they're resourceful and ecofriendly!
zandalee 20
And what a great conversation starter. This person could be an ecowarrior!

Everybody seems to.

So she's a creep. Eeeehhh I don't see a problem.

She?

A man wearing that would be way more awkward....
KM96 24
Well that's awfully creative
lexiieeex3 32
That's so funny! Maybe you can make a new friend.
KM96 24
Or not ... Its rather strange
zandalee 20
Or maybe she's just some extremely interesting rooster whom if you had had any interest in things outside of what you consider 'normal' you could have had a really enlightening or fascinating discussion with. Perhaps this was your loss...

Amen. I put down my discomfort toward abnormal looking strangers one day and had a lovely and exciting conversation with a man who wore a lime green suit and a leopard fedora. He was extremely intelligent, and funny, he told me stories of his travels all over the world, his personality matched his attire perfectly, eccentric, but bright and interesting. I don't regret not avoiding him, as I would've if I didn't decide to open my mind for once. These people will really brighten your day if you just give them a chance.
