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

You have a right to pay any way you want. Just flick off the glares and go at your own pace. Maybe people don't always want to pay in bills and want to get rid of their change!! Jeesh people need to be more patient as well :/

Op lives in Essex, you can only get a bus pass if you're elderly or disabled.

Well, if my bus is more than a minute or two late, I miss my train home and have to wait and hour for the next one, so I feel the other passengers anger :p

$110 in my city, and that only covers two of three city zones. You want all three, you have to pay about $140.

Why didn't you have the exact amount ready before you got on the bus? :/ That's what I do anyways.

At my old school I had to take the bus there and back everyday, usually paying in nickels and dimes. Needless to say I jammed that thing many a time. I'm sorry you had to experience it too OP! Don't worry though, it sounds like quite a common occurrence
