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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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?

Some people seem to be confused here. Bus drivers have no obligation to hold up an entire bus full of people just because you are running late. If you want to get on a bus... be on time and be at the actual stop, not sitting on a bench 100 feet away. When the bus doors open - get on, don't wait until the bus is already loading to say goodbye to all your friends while expecting the driver to wait. I've taken transit for most of my life and the biggest problems with it are the idiots using it.

Where do you live that bus drivers have no obligation to wait 5 seconds for you? In my City, bus drivers are not only required to wait for anyone heading to the bus stop, but even pull over in the middle of the street (if need be) to pick up an elderly person

I think you have made the assumption that because some drivers do wait and go out of their way to assist the elderly that this is somehow an enforceable requirement. It isn't and in a lot of cases is actually a safety violation.

No, it's policy. Obviously it only applies to residential areas, and when its safe.

Just get back in your igloo and fornicate with your pet seal, eh?

You've used 'eh' in the wrong context. By Canadian law, you will be forced to drink beer until you die.

"Accidentally " spill a hot coffee on him when you get on the bus next time. Karma works better with help.

Why would you expect the driver to wait for you? The drivers have schedules that they have to maintain and are disciplined if they're unable to do so. When I used to take the bus home from college on weekends, it was not uncommon to not only hear dispatchers screaming over the radio at the drivers when the bus was mere minutes behind schedule, but for the drivers to change monthly because the previous had been let go due to being unable to keep up with said schedule. It's not the driver's responsibility to make exceptions for you. In fact, in many cases it directly violates company policy to make any special allowances for any (would-be) passengers.
