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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was stuck at the airport overnight waiting for my flight for about 5 hours. I then went and looked at the departures board. It said that my flight had already departed. FML
Today, due to a scheduling error, I spent an entire day and night in an airport, over 30 hours in total. Just as I arrived at the gate, I was informed that my flight had been delayed for another 2 hours. FML
Today, I woke up at 3am to catch my flight back home, only to realize that my flight was pushed back 14 hours. FML
Today, I waited patiently in the airport as my flight was repeatedly delayed. After 5 long hours I approached one of the attendees to discover that the plane had left 5 minutes ago. FML
Today, I was waiting at the airport for a flight when I looked down and realised that I had booked the wrong date. Frantically, I tried to rebook the flight, but it was completely sold out. Now, I'm stuck in the airport for the next 24 hours with nothing to do. FML
Today, my train departed over 10 minutes early. It was the last train of the day. I missed my transatlantic flight and along with it the vacation and concert I'd spent over a year saving for. FML
Today, I arrived right on time for my train. Only problem, it was the wrong station. FML
Today, I was on a flight home. I wasn't going to arrive until midnight, so I was offered an earlier flight that got back at ten. I got to baggage claims and it turned out they lost my bag. I sat there for 2 hours. The people on my original flight left for home before I did. FML
Today, I'm anxious traveler who's flying by myself. My first flight got delayed due to one issue after another. This caused me to miss my connection. There are no more flights today so I'm having to stay overnight which, by the way, the airline won't pay for. FML
Today, I checked in for my flight, made it through TSA, bought food, and sat at the gate for an hour. I only realized I was sitting at the wrong gate when boarding for another flight finished and everyone had left. I ran to the correct gate, but it was too late. Despite me pleading, the plane was already taxiing to the runway. FML

don't they have clocks or some way to tell the local time there at the airport? it's kind of common sense

All flight screens have the time on it, and all announcements regarding flights and trains should've been a clue. Always double check. I personally wear a watch so I can compare the time with my phone.

just wondering during said trip were you not aware of the time zone change? was it just a layover? Otherwise your fault for not checking

If not, watch the news to check the time or check online to make sure you are in the right time zone.

Train stations have clocks all over the place. You think they'd offset all of them by an hour just to screw with you?

It's understandable that (I'm assuming) after becoming used to your phone switching times, you think you can trust it. You have a problem when you rely on your ohone solely and never checked a schedule or anything, not even once.

Did anybody else notice the op said they were at the airport and watched their train leave.... I thought airports and train stations were two different things... But also they have clocks everywhere in both.

Has the thought ever crossed your mind that some airports are connected with a rail system to reach them?

How did you watch a train leave at an airport?

This is why you double check that your phone changed when you land. YDI for not having common sense.
