Today, not only did I miss my bus by seconds, I also saw the bus driver smirking as he drove past me in the middle of the Canadian winter. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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, like every day, I had to walk to my bus stop. The only difference today is there was snow and ice over everything. Not only did I slip and fall, soaking both myself and the contents of my bag, the bus driver saw me there at the bus stop and drove straight past. FML
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
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 missed my bus by a minute. I called up my step-dad asking him if he could drive me because I had a test first period. After about calling him twenty times, and him not picking up, I saw him drive by the bus stop, pointing at me and laughing hysterically. 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 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 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, I missed my bus, so I walked home in the rain from school, only to realize my mom had been following me the whole time in the car, laughing her ass off. FML
Today, I was walking to the bus stop. I saw a chunk of ice and attempted to kick it. Sadly it was frozen to the ground, so I fell, broke my toe, and missed the bus. Even the bus driver was laughing as he drove by. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I remember being at a transit hub in the middle of winter, with about 6 people waiting for a particular bus. As soon as it came we all started walking towards it, only to have it take off as soon as the first person reached the door. That was the last day I took the bus.

Please, that is not FML. I lost my bus pass a few weeks ago and had to walk home, 4 of my bus passed me on the way back. And yes, it was freezing. I still didn't bother posting it though. Know why? Cause it's not FML enough.

Get to thr bus stop on time(:

oh come on >_> it's not like I said anything overtly offensive, just that basically life screws people over and you should get over it. A missed bus is hardly as bad as a ripped out earring.

Kay, there's nothing wrong with being retarded... it just means you're being held back. :)

that happened to me once, only it was a ski bus and I had just put my skis on the side of it, when it took off. I then had to track it down and get my skis. it took me a whole day to find the bus. public transportation sucks

Easy for you to say #1. Not everyone can commute long distances without transit given their financial status.

Omg, on the bus I was on, this exact thing happened O_o To other students though :O

There's this bus driver here in Madison, WI who lets all the black people on the bus for free and makes everyone from the other races pay. Some bus drivers are just really annoying.

But I heard canadians are polite. Just not to each other?
McMan 23
Depends on where you live. Quebec not so much if you utter a word of English. Yes I'm Canadian and yes I've been to Quebec. All other provinces are pretty nice though :D
ladysandy_fml 0
Seriously ? There's stupid people everywhere (probably more here in Quebec but yeah..), and it's not because one stupid guy hated on you because you were talking english that everyone in Quebec is not polite... Don't hate on us because of one retard.

every country has it's assholes including Canada. but for the most part we're pretty polite :)

Agreed; luckily, I don't take the bus. I'm Canadian, but in my town, it has barely even snowed yet. It's like a whole other planet here, haha.

Hayden ya I live in London too. Pretty bad when you see semis getting stuck off the 402, eh?

in my part of Canada (Newfoundland) it is 10 degrees Celsius and rainy, so Canadian winter isn't so bad. I would much rather snow and such though
Zmeilerr 22
Ha that's funny.

All you would have to do is wait for the bus, Canada Winters aren't even cold

"Showing" people your middle finger isn't always the solution to your problem.

You must live in Ottawa.

agreed.. every bus driver I have encountered in Alberta stops for you..

Damn Canadians.
TwoZeroOZ 2
Yeah I'm from Edmonton and I remember our bus drivers being awesome. Seems like Alberta is above average for bus services though, considering the rest of the comments on here.

agreed>.< some bus drivers in Ottawa are such assholes (of course there are some really nice ones)!!! I was waiting for my bus couple of weeks ago, my bus drove right by me with me at the stop waiting to get on! >.<

Nowadays bus drivers and taximen do not know they are there to serve the people. Shane on them.

Why hatin' on Shane?

I lol'd at your joke because it was just so damn awful, Selena

When you have a tedious job, you have to take some pleasure in small victories. Ditching losers who are so arrogant they think buses should wait for them is one of those wins. The fact you were stuck in the snow is just a bonus.
TwoZeroOZ 2
As someone already pointed out, bus drivers serve the public. I hope one day an ambulance decides to take off on you because you took too long answering the door.

You're really trying to get into it with the King of Sarcasm on FML? Not to mention that there is a very big difference between a bus driver and an ambulance driver. A bus driver has a very strict schedule to keep, and holding up an entire bus full of people (who actually WERE punctual enough to make it to their bus stops on time) just for one slow person is ridiculous. An ambulance driver, on the other hand, is there for ONE sick person who potentially needs to go to the hospital. Get a clue.
generalasskicker 12
doc you beat me to it I wanted to point out how stupid that was sry if double post
TwoZeroOZ 2
Haha Doc, you're a hoot. Sarcasm is tough to translate over the internet unless you know the person ;) And OP did say "by seconds", did he not? Have you ever been in a Canadian winter? Buses waiting for people isn't a courtesy, it's a requirement.
generalasskicker 12
obviously not if op got left
TwoZeroOZ 2
That's why its a FML ;)

Generally, buses waiting for you is actually not a requirement, but a courtesy. You're the one who is supposed to be waiting at the bus stop. If OP was just a few seconds trot away from the bus, the driver is indeed an @sshole. But, if it were a whole block, you're too much of a hold-up.
