Today, I was so busy checking my phone for live bus arrival times I didn't notice the bus pull up, let the people beside me on, and drive away. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I got on the bus I take every morning and sat in my usual seat. After about ten minutes, I noticed that the route was different and I had no idea where we were. I had been staring at my phone and boarded the wrong number bus without noticing. FML
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
Today, I was walking towards the bus. The bus was scheduled to leave at 3:20, and it was 3:19 so I decided to run for it. As the doors were closing, I managed to just slip my hand into the door, so it didn't fully close. The bus driver saw this, looked at my face, and then drove away. FML
Today, I missed my bus to school, so I took my bike. The bus that I missed ignored a stop sign on its way back, making me crash into it. FML
Today, I was on a very crowded bus, standing near the back door. People had to get off at the stop, and being near the door, I had to step off the bus, allowing the people to exit. I was about to enter back into the bus, the door closed and the bus driver took off, leaving me stranded. FML
Today, as I was about to get onto the bus, my bus pass fell out of my hands. Being in a rush, I barely picked it up from the street not having a good grasp of it, just to have it fall again as I was about to swipe it. It felt like the whole bus was staring at me. 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
Today, I took the bus home after visiting a friend. Standing in front of my house, I realized that I had forgotten my keys. They were still in my car, which I had parked at my friend's place and forgotten. FML
Today, I was late for class and I had to run to catch my bus, which only stops near our house twice a day. I made it to the doors just as they closed, and the bus drove away… with my sweaty reflection staring back at me in the moving bus door window. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

People are so dependent on technology, that they miss life right in front of them

Hey OP, do you also watch the stars on your computer screen? Text your girl/boyfriend when you're next to them? Or tweet about a roller coaster ride while you're on it???

Or maybe they're in a heated bus shelter and several buses go by that stop. This is why I almost missed my bus today. And maybe I was playing a game on my iPod. Oops.

Maybe it was a super silent ninja bus. :)

Now I'm imagining the bus being fully black and having a super sized red headband around it with ninja star rims. I wish monster garage would make that.

Maybe the bus was fast too because the OP didn't notice until it was too late.

No, it was just somebody so dependent on technology that they forgot how to use their eyes and ears.

This thread. Can't decide if it's win or fail, but then again I'm half retarded, so I'm leaning towards win! And the edge of my booster chair...

ComBUStable engines in vehicles are pretty loud, so you must've been very BUSy with your technology.
