Today, my train departed over 10 minutes early. It was the last train of the day. I missed my transatlantic flight and along with it the vacation and concert I'd spent over a year saving for. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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 was starting a new job and I didn't want to be late, so I took a train that left earlier than normal, just to make sure I'd be on time. Turns out, the earlier train wasn't an express train, and made it to my stop 12 minutes after my usual one did. I was late for work. FML
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'm stuck at the airport overnight, because my phone didn't update its time zone after flying in, so I watched my train leave, thinking mine wasn't due for another hour. FML
Today, my train was delayed, so I sprinted across the station to catch another one. I made it onto the train just before the doors closed. Then I looked around and realized I had boarded the exact same train I had just gotten off. FML
Today, I arrived at the station at 7:30pm sharp for the train... which was cancelled. FML
Today, I arrived right on time for my train. Only problem, it was the wrong station. FML
Today, I got on a two hour train ride to go to a concert. I had been so caught up in handling the train tickets that halfway to the concert, I realized I had left the concert tickets on my dresser. FML
Today, I took the wrong train and didn’t realise it until it arrived in Aberdeen. Eight hours from where I was meant to go. FML
Today, I waited patiently in the airport as my flight was repeatedly delayed. After 5 long hours I approached one of the attendees to discover that the plane had left 5 minutes ago. FML

No taxis, or other methods of transport? I seriously think you should've had a back up since we all know how unreliable buses can be sometimes... Really sorry OP.

Could you have gotten a lift from a mate or parents or anything? I'm sure you could've found another way there

that sucks! but why didn't you take an earlier train, so things like this wouldn't happen? yeah, you would've been earlier at the airport, but you can sit down, relax and have a cup of coffee before your flight.

Always arrive an hour early just to be safe.

How the hell were you not there early enough to catch the train? You'd think that you'd allow extra time for incidentals on something that important to you. You don't show up 10 minutes before your flight and expect to make it. Your fault dude.

Ok, it was only ten minutes early. for such an important event, didn't you think maybe you should allow more than ten extra minutes to get there in case something went wrong??

If you aren't early you are late.
