Today, I ran for the train that was about to leave. I tried to hold the doors open with my leg and got stuck. The conductor just yelled out how unbelievable and ridiculous I was and waited 2 minutes to finally release me. Everyone was laughing at me. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I had to run for the train, but because of my bad foot and limping they held the train, much to people's displeasure. No one let me sit down, so for the 20 minute journey, I stood. With a bad foot. FML
Today, I was waiting for the train. It arrived, I got on and the woman behind me stepped on the back of my shoe. My shoe came flying off and landed in the gutter between the train and the platform. The doors closed, the train pulled away. FML
Today, I was rushing to get on the train to work as I heard the "door closing" beeps. I was about to step onto the train when a man pushed me out of the way so that he could get on. My handbag fell out of my hand into the carriage. I stayed on the platform. FML
Today, after two and a half hours of travel, it was finally my stop on the train. I politely waited for a group of women to get off first. They took so long to move that the train doors closed. I shouted at one through the door to call the conductor. She watched and smiled as the train departed. FML
Today, at the train station a woman's baggage had gotten stuck in the ticket barriers, so I used my ticket to unlock the barriers for her but told her to wait so I could get through too. She didn't wait. And I got painfully stuck in the barriers whilst I watched my train go by. FML
Today, I was sitting waiting for my train for a long while. When it finally came, I had pins and needles in my foot. When I got up, I fell and unsuccessfully stumbled towards the train. The doors closed and it left without me. FML
Today, I was running late and rushing to a waiting bus. I made it to the doors just as they closed. I knocked desperately, hoping the driver would let me in. He hovered his hand over the button for a few seconds, then flipped me off, and drove away laughing. FML
Today, I was on the train to work. I was up late the night before, causing me to doze off. When I woke up, I was at my station. I stood up, went to walk out of the door and fell flat on my face on a platform full of people. Someone had tied my shoelaces together. FML
Today, I saw my train pulling into the station. I sprinted up the stairs and luckily made the train. I looked around and no one was in my compartment. I began to notice that the train was heading down some tracks I'd never been to. I got stuck on an empty train for 3 hours in the train garage. FML
Today, I was walking out of the train station when an old man grabbed me. I started screaming, yelling, "HELP" like a madwoman and tried pushing him away - that's when I saw the golf cart rush past me. He was trying to push me aside from getting run over. Everyone started laughing. FML

I hate people like you. If you're about to be late, you're making the rest of us late too.

Deserved. How many times do conductors on trains tell you not to stick things between the doors (particularly body parts)?

That sounds like abuse of power. No need to humiliate you like that. I'm sorry.

Did you file a complaint about the conductor? He had no right to humiliate you like that.

You totally deserved that for holding up the train and making everyone else wait. If you could only wedge your leg into the door, it was TOO LATE, you missed the train and just have to wait for the next one!! But no, your schedule is soooo much more important than everyone else's that you have a right to hijack the train's schedule and force yourself onto it. Next time, just arrive earlier!

#14: Seriously? Holding up the train for literally 3 seconds. I'm sure that's going to ruin everyone's schedule. Where as the OP would have lost however much time there is between each train. The conductor was the one at fault for holding everyone up just to be a douche.

Geez guys, tough crowd tonight. Some of you guys act like the OP was late on purpose. Things happen, traffic jam, closed road, whatever. I'm sure those saying "Learn to be on time" have been late before and were pissed, so I wouldn't exactly try to belittle the OP like that. It's like yelling "thats what you get for not breathing" at someone who was choking.

There are plenty of people being late on purpose. I meet several of them in the morning. They take the same bus as I do but have a train that's sheduled to depart on the same time the bus arrives and they go off running for it every morning. They could just take another bus, there's one every 15 minutes. But noo, then they would have to wait 10 minutes at the train station. If the train had a driver like the one in this FML, they would learn. Too bad the one they have is a friendly one that always waits if people come running to the train, even if he's allready behind shedule.

Hahaha nicely put #18. And really...what conductor holds up a train just to make an example of somebody?? That's totally ridiculous. Also, what city do you (OP) live in? Cuz in NY this happens all the time. The doors just keep reopening until there are no people/parts of people in between them.

The conductor sounds like an asshole
