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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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

If you knew you only had small change, why wouldn't you count it out before you got to your stop...?

I always check again when I get on the bus in case I made a mistake or I accidentally left a coin in my pocket.

You couldn't have counted out your change while waiting for the bus to arrive?

That's funny, someone jammed the coin slot on the bus I take and the bus driver just let everyone on instead of paying! So you probably helped out the other people,

Good job

Because the opinion of the bus-riding public matters so much.

Don't you know bus riders are mostly middle-upper class people with managerial jobs? Of course their opinions matter! /sarcasm Btw Perdix, I put a link up on the other thread about pompatus. Read up.

#30, thanks. I did read that. I've known that it was a made-up word, but I didn't know about the movie.

Actually did that this morning, wasn't that crowded at 6:25am though.

Been there, done that. All in pennies. After a little fiddling with the machine, it finally accepted my remaining pennies, but it didn't count them correctly.

I've also jammed it before from paying in small change... Super awkward.

All them people were just jealous because they didn't think of it first.
