Today, I took the bus to work. A sweet old lady got on after and sat next to me. Halfway there, she fell asleep, her head on my shoulder. I gently tried to wake her up before my stop. She wasn't sleeping. I let a dead woman lie on me for 30 minutes. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, while on the bus, an elderly man fell asleep on my shoulder. He looked sweet, so I didn't push him off. A few minutes later, the bus jolted and his head slipped down into my breasts. I'm pretty sure you don't smile like that when you're really asleep. FML
Today, I took the bus. The old lady next to me almost fell when the driver stopped, but I managed to catch her. Five minutes later, the same thing happened to me. The old lady tried to help me, but I lost my balance and pulled her skirt down. FML
Today, a pretty girl joined the line at the bus station. I let her skip the line and go before me so I could sit next to her. After she bought her ticket, I realized there were no more seats left on that bus. I was told to get off, and had to take the next bus, sitting next to a snoring old man. FML
Today, the guy sitting beside me on the bus fell asleep and just drooled on me. FML
Today, after doing a graveyard shift at work, I took the bus home. I fell asleep on the way and woke up 25 miles away from my bus stop. I took another bus heading back and couldn't stay awake. I then woke up where I started from. FML
Today, I fell asleep on the bus taking me home after a long hard day at work. I woke up with my head on a stranger’s shoulder, drooling. The worst part? The stranger was my crush from college, who I haven’t seen in years. Turns out we have the same bus route. FML
Today, I was on the bus, when an elderly woman stepped in. She looked too weak to stand. She looked at me with sad puppy eyes, expecting me to give up my seat for her. I felt sorry and got up. As soon as she sat down, she said, "Ha! Sucker!" FML
Today, I was the weird girl on the city bus who falls asleep then makes a loud, weird noise and wakes herself up. FML
Today, I was sitting on the bus to the gym. I saw that an old woman needed help to get off the bus, so I got up, and helped her off. When I had finally got her down the stairs the bus closed the doors and drove away. I was in the middle of nowhere and the bus drove away with all my things. FML
Today, on the train, I was sitting next to a cute girl I didn't know. She fell asleep on my lap by accident and I just let her for the whole train ride. This is the closest I've ever been with a woman. FML

O holy. That must've been REALLY awkward. There's no way you would've known she was dead! You don't deserve that! FYL. =(

that doesn't even seem realistic... that probably happens to like 1% of people in their lifetime and it just so happens you are a regular on this strange website and could share that with all of us. i really question how many of these stories are remotely true.

#43: well of course YOU would know, you worked in health care as you said. How would an average joe/jane on the street know. you make yourself sound like a dumbass. you might as well not even speak because stupidity just flows out of your mouth. #41: you aren't funny. stop trying. #64: so you would laugh at someone's funeral? really. you sound like a douche bag. so a baby being smothered by her psycho mom is FUNNY? so an old lady having a heart attack then slipping in water is, HILARIOUS? a girl being raped then killed in the public is FUNNY because its public? you are the dumbest asshole in the world right at this moment. and its mainly because so many people in my life have died, and i don't laugh. what's to laugh about? #73: stop calling fake, damn you sound stupid. Things happen to people. THAT IS THE WHOLE REASON FOR THIS SITE. you ******* jack ass. And weird things happen to people, that doesn't mean its FAKE. wow, just wow. that's horrible. i would be so freaked out and sad.

Oh my! That is so sad. I feel bad for you and the woman's family. #43. Yeah, if you're EXPECTING them to die. She wasn't expecting an old lady on a bus to die on her. Good grief. I'm sure she wasn't constantly staring at her to check her breathing either, "just in case".

I would have freaked out. But that's just me. RIP.

77, you're an idiot. Number 64 never said that any of those things we're funny. He's saying that people who can find humor in a terrible situation are good people, and they are. I may not laugh at someones funeral but I would certainly laugh at a wake. In fact, I've probably laughed at every single family member's wake I've been too. We share memories and good times we've had with the person and funny things that have happened and make light of the situation. Noone wants to be around people who sit and mope for weeks on end and thats not a healthy way to live. Look on the brighter side of things. Yes, its funny that this happened to the OP. Sad that she died, but its a humorous situation that he didn't realize for so long.

I agree with #53...we all need someone. She passed peacefully and as much as this stinks, it happened for a reason. I don't think this is an "EEWWW" situation...as for not knowing if she were dead or sleeping...thats understandable...I wouldn't know the difference either esp since he wasn't really expecting her to die. have more respect for this lady...RIP
