Today, I had to pay my bus fare in very small change. After carefully counting out coins under the withering glares of a bus-load of people, I quickly slid them into the machine, and somehow ended up jamming it. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, after rushing to the bus stop and frantically boarding at the last possible second, I realized that I didn't pay my fare with a single, but a twenty. FML
Today, as I was about to get onto the bus, my bus pass fell out of my hands. Being in a rush, I barely picked it up from the street not having a good grasp of it, just to have it fall again as I was about to swipe it. It felt like the whole bus was staring at me. FML
Today, while at the vending machine, I put in my $20 instead of my $1. I got my change back in quarters. FML
Today, I had two 100's and two singles in my wallet. The two 100's was for my electric bill and the two singles were for the bus. Once I got off the bus and to the electric company, I noticed only my singles were there. Turns out I paid the bus driver $200. FML
Today, a buttmunch customer brought in $7 worth of pennies I had to count and roll. As I was putting them in the deposite box at the end of my shift, I fumbled and dropped the rolls. All but one broke, spilling their contents on the floor. FML
Today, I had to empty out my coin jar to pay for gas. Trying to be considerate, I only brought quarters, but the cashier refused to take it because they didn't want to count out my $10. I don't know how I'll get to work today. FML
Today, as a joke, my friend put my bus money in the vending machine. Not only did the machine not return my money, it wouldn't give me an item in return. FML
Today, I gave a homeless man my last bit of spare change so he could get on the bus. Just as I was about to get on too, I realized I'd lost my bus card. I had to get off the bus and watch as the man waved at me through the window. FML
Today, I got on the bus and the driver said I didn't have to pay since the ticket machine was broken. I was happy to have saved £2.40 until I realised someone had stolen my new £700 phone while I was talking to the driver. FML
Today, I was at a mini arcade and accidentally put a hundred dollar bill through the quarter machine. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Maybe the bus doesn't have very many people on it.

Clearly that sarcasm was just a bit too much for you to handle :)

#25 that sounds... HILARIOUS. LOL, just imagining someone do that has me giggling. Sounds like something off Family Guy.

How does this comment have 17 thumbs down?! Yeah okay obvious spelling error, but it made me lol :) You are harsh FML community, you are harsh...

Maybe cause you put them in too fast

That happens to me all the time, #2. There I am all excited and I get WAY too excited and just slide it in too quickly. Or at least that's what she says. She acts like I'm gonna break something if I slide in too fast. I mean how is that possible? I know she wants it over quickly so she can go but then she complains! I don't understand women... Good thing I only have to deal with that bus driver and machine about once a week!

And your comment, 36, just flat-up sucked from start to finish. Try again.

7 comments. Must be a newbie. But sarcasm rocks! OP, why can't you pay in larger change quantities?

If it makes you feel better, I did this too... but had to spend 5 minutes un-jamming it, and then ended up 25 cents short.

If I had a dime for every time I heard that...

I guess OP will have to make a change to his plans.
SqueakyChipmunk 22
What if OP is female? You'll have to quarter to make up for that.

Is it just me or does #28's pun not make any sense?
anzie_fml 9
44- I understood their pun just fine. I found the pun itself quite clever actually, though Chipmunk might change it to make more cents to the FML. But that's just my two cents, if you want to count my opinion.

44) quarter=court her. Courting is basically sucking up to a female to get with her or something. Does no one read about old culture anymore?

you're retarded. and yes I read fine literature

It sucks if anybody would look down on you for paying in small change. Times are hard.
FlyingPie 17
It almost sounded as if you slid the people into the machine. :P
saksxalmo 20
A dangling modifier?! When I saw FML authors make this mistake repeated times, I knew I had to correct them! /grammar joke Oh well, English is hard. At least s/he tried! :D

I don't see how my comment was interpreted in such a way that it got 10 downvotes.

Least you didn't use pennies OP, or else those "glares" would have turned into death threats.

I put in £1 worth of pennies in Sainsbury's self checkout once.
