Today, it was my court date for a car accident I was involved in back in July. I had spent months preparing a case to prove my innocence. I was scheduled to appear at 10:00 this morning. I woke up at 10:15AM. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I had to go to court to see whether my driver's license is suspended for an entire year. I woke up early, went to court, and everything went perfectly, with all the charges being dropped. Unfortunately, I then woke up, and am now going to be late. FML
Today, I got a speeding ticket while driving to my court date for a prior speeding ticket. FML
Today, I went to court because I got a traffic ticket for running a red light. While I was in court, I found out it was actually for a car I had sold years ago. FML
Today, I got so anxious while trying to fight the ticket I got earlier this month that I passed out in front of the judge. FML
Today, I got t-boned while on my way represent myself in a deposition for a lawsuit I filed against my neighbor. The other driver was my neighbor's husband. FML
Today, I had to skip class to attend a truancy court hearing. FML
Today, I got a letter summoning me to court for leaving the scene of a car accident I had in London. I live in Manchester and don't own a car. FML
Today, after sleeping in, I finally sorted through a stack of mail I had been putting off and I found a Jury summons. Thinking it must be coming up soon, I checked the date, my appearance is scheduled for 7:45am on November 16th. Today is November 17th. FML
Today, I got in a car accident on the way to the DMV to take my drivers test. FML
Today, I had a rude awakening after a traffic accident the day before. I'd fled the scene to avoid having to pay hefty damage fines. I would have gotten away with it too, if my license plate hadn't fallen off and incriminated me. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

At least the "months" you spent totaled no more than *two* months.

YDI for not setting your alarm, or for sleeping through it.

It is possible that the OP did set an alarm and just turned it off in his sleep. But the case obviously wasn't important enough that he did actually wake up when the alarm did go off. YDI.

your fault. what happened to your alarm clock? well, if push comes to shove, maybe try blaming it on traffic? or there was an accident on the road somewhere?

YDI. There's really no excuse for oversleeping (unless you're sick). I always set an extra alarm with my phone and put it on the opposite end of my bedroom when I have exam that day. I'd even ask a friend to call me if I have to go to court!

This sucks big time and I'm really sorry for you but you totally deserved this. It's called alarm clock, you know. And if it is THIS important, set at least 3 alarm clocks, put them on different places in the room you sleep in and set them to ring each 2-3 minutes after the other. I'd like to see anyone sleep over after that. :)

It tickles me the way everyone keeps making the same, monotonous point of view every time! Does everyone have to be so repetative?

The fact of the matter why we are acting with such nice redundance is because we aren't idiots. Why are you being so repetitive?

#50, #61: I have one of the same or similar. It sets the clock itself, not the alarm. It's a mix of short-term and long-term battery backup.
