Today, I accidentally left my concession card in the photocopier. I then got fined for not having a concession card on the train. I was photocopying it for a letter to get out of a fine for not having a concession card. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I got two pieces of mail. One was a fine for not presenting my concession card to ticket inspectors on a train. The other was my concession card. FML
Today, I hopped on a tram without a ticket to travel one stop in order to save 5 minutes off my walk. Instead, I got a $230 fine and ended up 15 minutes further away from my destination. FML
Today, I turned in my homework. Too bad I accidentally handed in the printed answer sheet I found online to copy from. FML
Today, I was pulled over and fined $100 for driving without a license, as I'd accidentally left home without my wallet. I later found my wallet wedged beside my car seat, where it had been the entire time. FML
Today, at my cashier job, I got written up for accepting obviously photocopied coupons. Last week, I got written up for "inadequate customer service" because I refused to accept the same bogus coupons from the same customer. FML
Today, in a desperate attempt to get my business "out there", I dropped a few of my cards on a station floor. I got a call, even a quote. A $500 fine from the transit for public littering. FML
Today, I'd purchased a ticket for the train on my mobile app. Some idiot pushed past me on his way out and in the process makes me drop my phone, ruining it. A conductor then came to check my ticket and I got fined 150 dollars. FML
Today, I was on the bus, when the inspector asked to see my ticket. I couldn't find it, and ended up being kicked off the bus while a few of the other passengers jeered at me. I found my ticket on the long walk home, buried in my pocket. FML
Today, I discovered that I once again forgot my credit card in the vending machine at work. This is the second time in a week that this happened, and now 6 coworkers have bought drinks with my card since I lost it. I have no way of making it back to work for a week. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

What the heck is a concession card?

i have been to melbourne and i've heard how the connex (the train company) officers fine people unreasonably. concession cards are like lower fare train tickets for students/kids. most of the stories i've heard from people involve forgetting their tickets... if you photocopy your existing ticket (which has a date stamp that proves you've bought one while you were on a ride at that time) and send the photocopy in, they might believe you and not fine you. i know how sucky those officers are so i agree fyl. but i don't get why you didn't show them the photocopy you just made, or did you forget that too... which is too stupid because what was the point of going to photocopy and leaving emptyhanded.

You said concession so many times my head hurts. I kept on rereading to get the point of the FML, but kept thinking about concessions. FYL for making me look retarded!!!

I didn't get this until I read #10's comment. Where I live, they're called transit passes. Cos, you know, they're for transit. Also, where I live, is the stand inside the movie theater where the snacks are, and we don't have cards for that. Anyway, I'm sorry you had to pay a fine.
