Today, my class went to Berlin. At the subway station, our teacher told us to get on the next train. I was the first one to get on and the only one who didn't hear her saying: 'Wait, that's the wrong one!' I'm lost in a city I've never been before. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was running late for a train and bought a ticket in a hurry. I got on the wrong train, sat there for twenty minutes, and only realised my mistake when the scenery looked nothing like my stop. FML
Today, I arrived right on time for my train. Only problem, it was the wrong station. FML
Today, I missed my train. I was actually on the right platform but realized my mistake two minutes after it had left. 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, while waiting on the platform, a blind man asked out loud for some help getting into the subway car. I helped him through the doors and into a seat. I decided to sit down as well. Twenty minutes later, I realized I was on the wrong subway line. FML
Today, I took a train to visit a friend and fell asleep for what felt like ten minutes. I woke up at the final stop with the carriage empty. The doors opened, I stepped onto the platform, and immediately realized I had no idea where I was or how I'd got there. FML
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 on a business trip with a coworker. We had to wait for the train, so I decided to browse a store in the train station while he waited outside. I then got a message on my phone, from my co-worker saying, "You are somewhere on this train, right?" FML
Today, I rode home alone on a train. I accidentally missed my stop, but wasn't worried about it. My mom did not share my optimism and actually called the train company, saying that I was "lost" and "special". They thought she meant I was retarded. They wouldn't believe me when I said I wasn't. FML
Today, I tried to catch a train to get to my new job. I was stopped and told that I needed a pre-purchased ticket to enter the platform. The only way to get the ticket, they said, was by buying one on the platform. I arrived by taxi nearly an hour late for my first day. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Get off at the first stop. Cross the platform. Get on the first train going in the opposite direction. Get off at your original stop.

If you were the only person who didn't hear your teacher say it, how do you know what she said?

Seriously, just becuase it say today dosen't mean it was today, it always says today even if it was yesterday or last week

I think people are confused because he uses the present tense "I'm lost" but I think that can be explained by English not being his first language. Hell, half of the FMLs written by native speakers have incorrect grammar.

This FML is dumb because the poster was only temporarily put out until he phoned his teacher (or his teacher phoned him) and they were able to meet back up. I loved in Europe as a child and every school outing, be it as a student in England taking a trip to France or a student in France going on a trip to Spain, etc., had policies of distributing contact information for the teachers and collecting the students' mobile numbers, even in 2004 when mobile phones weren't as prevalent as they are today. Either your school is ghetto as hell or you are leaving out critical bits of this story to make it more interesting. Which makes you lame.

FML's are not supposed to be all serious, they are just things that **** with your day and getting lost would do that, even if it was only temporary. Personally, when I was in school I would have had to buy a temporary phone for this kind of thing because you couldn't have paid me enough to give a teacher my cell number.

I'd be worried about getting back instead of posting an FML.

I agree with you, but judging from the (Sachsen) after his name he's German. So how hard can it be?

That's the state in Germany that he's in, dipshit.
JanisEvans 10
No, it's not. Berlin is NOT in Sachsen. But quite probably the PO is originally from there. Dipshit.

I meant that's the state he was in when he posted this, idiot. I know Berlin isn't in Sachsen. But I doubt he posted this the day it happened.
