Today, I arrived right on time for my train. Only problem, it was the wrong station. FML

Today, I missed my train. I was actually on the right platform but realized my mistake two minutes after it had left. FML

Today, my train departed over 10 minutes early. It was the last train of the day. I missed my transatlantic flight and along with it the vacation and concert I'd spent over a year saving for. FML

The passenger
Today, I was starting a new job and I didn't want to be late, so I took a train that left earlier than normal, just to make sure I'd be on time. Turns out, the earlier train wasn't an express train, and made it to my stop 12 minutes after my usual one did. I was late for work. FML

Today, I had to take the train from my hometown to my university for a very important meeting concerning my foreign exchange program. When I finally arrived, I noticed a Post-it on the door: "Meeting cancelled, sick". I basically made a 9-hour day-trip for a half-an-hour walk. FML

Today, I was running late for a train and bought a ticket in a hurry. I got on the wrong train, sat there for twenty minutes, and only realised my mistake when the scenery looked nothing like my stop. FML

Today, my train was delayed, so I sprinted across the station to catch another one. I made it onto the train just before the doors closed. Then I looked around and realized I had boarded the exact same train I had just gotten off. FML

Wake up Boo!
Today, my work made us all get up at 3 a.m. to head to the airport for our 7 a.m. flight, only for us to get to the airport and find out the flight is cancelled. 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

Today, I took the wrong train and didn’t realise it until it arrived in Aberdeen. Eight hours from where I was meant to go. FML

That sucks. Wish there was more to the story, though.

Get another train then - this isn't worthy of FML

It's been seven years already? I feel like I'm in the FML museum. This is the oldest submission I've seen on here.

That's why you always check before you leave

But like #1 said, that's more of an orientation thing. Not a welcoming party.

Assuming you're not from China, can you do me a favor? Obtain a bunch of objects and see where they were manufactured. I need the ironic relief of knowing that stuff in China is not "Made in China." Together we will reveal their secrety secrets.

It's China. No one is surprised.

This does make sense! Like the others posted, you need to be up to date on local policies, laws and regulations. Soldiers go through the same thing when they get to Korea and what bars are black listed because of local prostitution and the consequences of entering those bars. Not quite sure China has the same issues but better be safe than sorry your first few nights out!!
