Today, I had to take bus to work, because yesterday my car was hit by a bus. While standing there, I noticed the driver kept looking back at me every now and then. As I went to get off, he looks at me again and says: "Sorry..." FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was walking on my crutches towards the bus through the rain. The bus driver looked into my eyes, punching the button to close the doors while I was still a few meters away. As he drove off, he kept his eyes on me, while I had to wait for another 15 minutes for the next bus in the rain. FML
Today, I was saying goodbye to my boyfriend before I got on my bus. As I turned to get on, the door closed on my face. I knocked on the door. The driver looked at me, and while still staring at me, drove off. FML
Today, I was on the bus, it hit a bump on the road and made me hit a elderly man. The bus driver thought I did it on purpose and made me get off. FML
Today, I was running to the bus stop to catch the bus. The bus driver smiled, waved, and drove away without letting me get on. FML
Today, while I was walking to class, I was hit by a car. The driver stopped to let me cross in front of her, started moving again, hit me, and then yelled at me, saying it was my fault for walking in front of her. FML
Today, a guy hit on me. It's such a rare occurrence that I didn't know how to react, so I panicked and said "Sorry, I have to go!" Then I remembered we were on a bus, and just turned around and awkwardly pretended he wasn't there. FML
Today, as I got on the bus to commute to work, its front right tire exploded. Everyone, including the driver, glared at me while getting off. The next bus arrives in 2 hours. FML
Today, I was getting on a bus, the driver shut the door on me while I was half way inside. Instead of apologizing to me, he criticized me for getting in the way. FML
Today, I missed my bus to school, so I took my bike. The bus that I missed ignored a stop sign on its way back, making me crash into it. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

At least he said sorry.

He was a man about it though. Didn't hide, took the blame and owned it. If it was a sincere apology accept it. That shit happens all the time but most people usually run from it or assign blame elsewhere.

I don't see the "wow" factor unless you've said that in the haste of being first.

^there is a wow factor, still not a good comment.

If you car gets hit by a bus u ask the driver out? WTF?
incoherentrmblr 22
^ Agreed, though it would make an interesting "How I Met Your Mother" story. Plot twist: He takes her out, his car get hit by a coach bus...

Well at least now you know he's sorry...
simsimbeep 13
Well next time you see him, hit him with a brick! He should have paid you instead of hiding away!

Then op could go to jail.

The bus company is probably the party that's legally liable, not the bus driver.

That's what insurance is for. People don't drive with tens of thousands of dollars in a suitcase in their vehicles in case they accidentally hit another vehicle, then hand them what they think the damages are and go about their day. Way to think.
pitapizzaparty 18
No its not a suitcase you see, its a bank account
Awahso 25
You drive around with a bank account in your car?
dragonkisses28 25
I think the better question is, you have tens of thousands of dollars in your bank account?

Why would that be especially surprising 50? My old school is 40k per year

Being a "man" about it doesn't bring back a totaled car or damaged car. The fact that OP didn't recognize the driver means that the driver hit and run. Pretty sure thats a dick move that isn't easily corrected with simply "sorry".

Thank you, saying sorry doesn't fix the car. Should have owned up to it. The bus driver could have gotten out and talked to op about it, gave a number and tried to do something about it. But instead he ran away. Not nice!
JuggaloSimms1441 16
Agreed! He took the time to realize who you were and tried to make it right! More than what most people would do!
hokie16 13
It probably wasn't a hit and run. If it was, why would he own up to it now? Maybe OP was no where to be found and didn't find out what happened until later. But the bus driver still contacted the correct authorities and turned everything in. You assume too much from a three-sentence FML. :P

This FML deserves a followup. OP could have recognized the bus driver. It's common to come across the people who do you wrong and notice they guiltily shy away from you. It's not that you don't recognize them, but you do take notice of how they act waiting for them to make amends and at least apologize. The bus driver did at least take some accountability and apologized. It won't immediately fix OP's car, but at least it's a step in the right direction.

Being sorry doesn't bring back a car, but insurance does....

When you're in a crash the right thing to do is take responsibility and pay for it, I would have called the police
Awahso 25
Where does it say responsibility wasn't taken or the cops weren't called? It happened the day before.
Georick7 19
Maybe the cops were called when it happened...?

Shouldn't you have spoken to the bus driver after they hit your car, or were you not in the car when it was hit? Surely you would've recognised them if so. I hope your insurance is covering it for you.
katachristic 19
Agreed, and OP probably was in the car because how else would the driver know who it belonged to?

If only sorry would fix your car
