Today, I waited over 30 minutes in freezing cold weather for my bus. When it finally arrived, I went to get on board, but slipped and fell on the icy ground. The driver waited a whole 2 seconds before snorting, "Ain't nobody got time for this shit", closing the doors, and driving off. FML

Today, I got really annoyed waiting for a bus that was supposed to come every 10 minutes. After a few minutes of waiting, I realized the "bus stop" was really a no parking sign. FML

Today, I waited over an hour for my bus. As I finally saw it approaching, I reached into my purse to grab my ticket. The lady next to me then gave the driver a hand signal to keep driving. FML

This FML is from back in 2009 but it's good stuff

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

I'm coming!
Today, I was late for work so I ran to catch the bus. I made it. Unfortunately, the bus was actually out of service, and I just sprinted to a parked vehicle for no reason. FML

Nicely planned
Today, my roommate wanted me to try out a new bus route home, I knew it might take longer but she really wanted me to try, so I went with her. After waiting for ages at The Exchange bus stop for the last bus home, we missed it, and had to take an Uber. FML

Today, I spent an hour in a snowstorm waiting for my bus to show up. After I got fed up, I decided to just clean off my car and drive to work. After I was halfway finished swiping off the snow and ice stuck to my car, the bus drove right past me. FML

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, despite getting to the bus stop early, the first bus didn’t turn up. The second one was late, and severe traffic caused me to be late for work. I can’t afford for my wages to be docked from this. FML

Today, my mom told me that she'd rather wait for the city bus all day than allow me to give her a ride. FML

If the bus isn't running, you may need to start.

You're from Australia, I thought you guys travelled on ostriches?

Ah the joys of public transportation. I've had similar happen here because they didn't announce the changes at all and just assumed people would just know, it was also like -30 and snowing and I waited for an hour along with a couple other people, until we got a driver from another route to help. It sucks. Though in this case, you obviously haven't taken the bus in at least 3 weeks, so it could be possible that you missed info. And if you take it that little, you should probably check before waiting to see if they've changed or cancelled the route at all... but idk if you did that and it just said everything was still running as planned. Either way it sucks though.

They don't have internet where you are to check these sort of things?

I had checked the timetable so many times and I didn't even realise the # next to it implying it's a school day bus only.

30 minutes is nothing...I waited 2 hours for a bus that was never coming. lol

Oh my, I've been there. I waited for hours for the bus I used to catch home from school for the bus I needed to catch from work (off of the same main road), until I called my sister to pick me up. We went to the same high school; and then after drilling me she informed me that the bus number had changed... FYL

Okay. Here's the story. My best friend and I walked to the bus stop, checked the timetable and it said the 4:30 bus will come by. The bus driver leaving to Hobart said 'yeah yeah, the bus is just running a bit late' with a chuckle and a joking tone. Good ol' trickster Murray! Checked the timetable on my phone for the 10th time that hour and realised it ran on school days only. Another bus drove past us at a different bus stop (we decided to call into to work for a bit). We ended up at home safely, and wet after catching another bus. No. We do NOT ride on kangaroos or etc. Anyone who believes that makes me laugh!

Ps, I checked the timetable over 25 times that day (I over stress and I get paranoid waaaay too easy) and did not see the # next to it implying it's a school day bus only.

I once drove a friend to a bus station 2 hours away at 5am only to find out the bus didn't even run out of that city anymore (even though the time and location were printed on the ticket). I ended up having to drive him to a city 3 hours the opposite direction at 2am the next morning. Looooong day :P
