Today, I had to wait an hour in the awful rain for my mom to pick me up, because she didn't realize the clocks had gone forward already. FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I had to walk home in the rain because my mom didn't want to get her new car wet. FML
Today, wanting to be on time for my first job interview, I woke up at the crack of dawn and walked almost an hour through a thunderstorm. When I arrived, I was told that the manager wasn't in today, because of the bad weather. FML
Today, due to bad weather, my dad let me take his car to drive to my apartment 3 hours away. I only realized when I got there that my keys were still sitting on my parents' kitchen counter. FML
Today, I waited in the pouring rain for my wife to come pick me up from work. It was only after I was thoroughly drenched that I remembered it was my wife's day off, and that I drove myself to work earlier in her car, which was parked fifty feet from where I was waiting. FML
Today, my football practice ended early due to severe weather. Not only had I misplaced my phone earlier in the day, both my parents thought the other had picked me up. I was in the rain for an hour and a half. FML
Today, I missed my bus, so I walked home in the rain from school, only to realize my mom had been following me the whole time in the car, laughing her ass off. FML
Today, I decided to show up early for work and really try to get off my manager's shit-list. On my way to work, my manager called to bitch me out for already being 30 minutes late. Yeah, I forgot about Daylight Savings Time. FML
Today, I'm stuck at the airport overnight, because my phone didn't update its time zone after flying in, so I watched my train leave, thinking mine wasn't due for another hour. FML
Today, I had to tell my daughter 7 times to get ready for school. I packed her lunch, made her breakfast, got her clothes ready for her, and yet it still took her half an hour to get dressed, making me just under an hour late for work due to peak hour traffic. Traffic I would have beaten. FML
Today, after complaining about the clocks still being an hour ahead from daylights savings, my work finally changed the time on all the clocks in the building. Now all the clocks are two hours ahead. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

And you were completely incapable of locating a phone to call her or a dry place to wait? If you chose not to take action, you generally lose the right to complain about an unpleasant situation.

There may have been no close place to take shelter, and OP may be in an unfamiliar place and not want to get lost. Not to mention the fact that OP's mother could have appeared at any time. It's not as if OP knew they would have a whole hour to find a phone, she probably didn't know the reason she was late until afterwards. It makes much more sense to stay where you are, as that is where people will first look for you.

Well, I'm confused as to how her mom was an hour late. Spring forward means everything is an hour earlier (clock says 10 but it's really 9). So, perhaps OP trusted her clock that had not been set whereas his/her mom had a self-adjusting clock (such as the clocks on phones which adjust themselves using the internet) and therefore had the correct time. The only reason that I realized this is because when my alarm clock woke me up at what was supposed to be 9am, I checked my phone and it was 8am.

Actually, 58, Spring forward means everything is an hour later. If your alarm clock went off at 9 o'clock and you hadn't changed the time, it would have actually been 10 o'clock.

90, you are a douche. I once got stuck at school for an hour because it started hailing (this is Los Angeles, where hail is a big deal), and traffic got stopped up everywhere. You're not allowed to take the bus if you haven't been signed up and I obviously didn't ride my bike to school. I was maybe eight. What would you think about that? That I was a stupid little kid for expecting my mom to come pick me up?

64 -- i've been "signing" my name for the last several years. i'm not going to stop because literally 2 people (yes, i can count!) are up in arms about it. if it bothers you that much, you can refrain from reading my comments. this isn't a popularity contest. go play a game of scrabble with yourself, because that's the only way i can see you succeeding. dick. |the kid|

64 I'd like to see you tell |the kid| that to his face. you'd probably crap your pants and then he'd tear you a new a-hole so you could crap from there too XD

TheNewGuy03 29
kratos, as much as it would thoroughly satisfy me to see this guy shit from two places (actually, three, counting his pie-hole), i'm a nice guy. besides, what would it do for me to do that to someone who has yet to graduate from high school? i'm just glad i have a loyal, dedicated fan. hehehe. |the kid|

lol exactly , even though im still in high school , i thought it was pretty immature to say seriously ... if you like signing yr name continue doing it

#10, pretty much everybody has some form of a cell phone nowadays. Id be surprised if the OP didn't
Bobissmall 13
While true, i also know most people my age have 0 credit on theirs, or if they are like me, totally forget to either bring it, or charge it. I think if OP had a mobile they would have included it in the FML.

Should've done your own version of "Singing in the Rain." Or at least sing, "Raindrops keep falling on my head." Nonetheless, I'm pretty sure there was some sort of shelter you could've taken to avoid becoming completely soaked.

honest mistake. a lot of people forgot to change their clocks(: like meee
cathy391 4
the clocks were set forward. she should have been there an hour early.
kmarrs 2
The clock read 8:30, it was really 9:30. That would make her an hour late. (Not the exact times I'm sure, just pulled number out of my a$$)
MrBobby_fml 7
@#17 If the clocks went forward, so old time of 8.30 would be new time 9.30- so an unadjusted clock would read 8.30 when it was really 9.30. Yeah, that's an hour early.
eponina 0
actually 17 is correct. reread what you just typed.
