Today, I got the earlier bus to avoid my ex after a painful breakup. He had the same idea. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

Today, after many attempts at getting my girlfriend to ride the bus to see me rather than taking Uber, she finally did. She ended up meeting a man who convinced her that she should break up with me. She listened. FML

Today, I was gonna take my ex to a concert, but we broke up before it so instead I went with my Tinder date. When I got to the venue, my ticket was already used. My ex was in there. My date never got in. FML

Tie break
Today, in the middle of our one year anniversary dinner, my boyfriend's ex-girlfriend showed up declaring her love for him. They left together and I had to take the bus home. FML

Today, in order to avoid seeing my ex-girlfriend in class, I changed my schedule for "personal reasons." Apparently she had the same idea and changed her schedule as well. We now have all the same classes together. Before, we had just two. FML

Awkward
Today, a girl started talking to me at the bus stop. After it descended into an awkward silence, I jumped on my bus to avoid further conversation. She got on the same bus. And got off at the same stop. I swear the whole bus could feel the tension. FML

Talk about not getting the picture…
Today, I finally worked up the courage to break up with my boyfriend. His parents weren't able to pick him up for 5 hours. I ended up taking him to a movie to kill time and end on a positive note, but now he thinks we're cool and back on track. FML

Plug in your headphones, get a seat by the windows and don't let that set the tone for the rest of your day. Best of luck!

Maybe it's fate pushing you guys together. It's potentially like a scene out of a movie.

Well you know what they say... Great minds think alike, I guess in your case this is a bad time for that to be true! FYL

Like minds think alike, greatness has nothing to do with it. That saying bothers me, probably because ive heard alot of scumfucks use it.

It's harder than you think, it'd be pretty hard to even concentrate on the music.. if I could guess, it'd be closer to 'try not to cry, cry a lot.'

It could've been worse...at least the bus wasn't full & they didn't have to seat or be next to each other. So OP has that going for her, which is nice! :D
TheCookieComet 23
And #16 how do you know it wasn't full?
El_Boxeador 14
I can't know for sure, but it would've been an important piece of information to not mention since it would've made the FML that much more FML! But who knows, I might be wrong

That must have been super awkward, hope it wasn't too bad, though. Cheer up!

And that's when OP should leave the bus at the next stop and wait for her usual one.

I think you missed the "painful breakup" part.
devildog562 33
Try and be civil and sorry for your loss. Or pay the bus driver to run him over.

@57 Grow the **** up! I'm so sorry you didn't care for the grammatical choices I made and the one subsequent misspelled word in my response. I'm sure I'll try harder to improve and impress people such as yourself as a result of your ingenious response to my comment. This repentant thought of mine is only a direct result of you ever so descriptive and yet colorful and obviously time consuming biographic description you have so eloquently listed on your profile page. Obviously I'm the one lacking in educational prowess and your intellectual superiority far supersedes mine. Thank you so much for showing me the light!!!

I would make a point of calling for a taxi to arrive at the next stop and then get off.

I wouldn't pay the money a taxi cost just to avoid someone.

If they catch the same bus, I assume they're at school.... What school kid has the money for a cab 5 mornings a week?

That sucks. I can relate.

Maybe it's destiny that you'll be together since you think so much alike . . . jk, if the breakup was painful then I'm sure he's your ex for a reason.
