Today, our airplane was delayed because of issues with the de-ice-ing. Then, because it had too little fuel. Then, because of engine troubles. Then, because our first officer needed to be replaced due to legal restrictions on pilots' hours. Now, I get to go straight from the plane to work. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, to avoid a massive delay on our scheduled flight at the airport, we were generously moved to an earlier flight home. An hour later, our new flight had been cancelled and they told us we'd be stuck at the airport overnight. Our original flight took off fine. FML
Today, I spent six hours driving between two airports to try and catch my flight. Two trailer accidents, two construction zones, three detours, and one police escort later, the airline wouldn't let me on the plane. FML
Today, due to a scheduling error, I spent an entire day and night in an airport, over 30 hours in total. Just as I arrived at the gate, I was informed that my flight had been delayed for another 2 hours. FML
Today, I'm anxious traveler who's flying by myself. My first flight got delayed due to one issue after another. This caused me to miss my connection. There are no more flights today so I'm having to stay overnight which, by the way, the airline won't pay for. 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
Today, my work made us all get up at 3 a.m. to head to the airport for our 7 a.m. flight, only for us to get to the airport and find out the flight is cancelled. FML
Today, I finally get to go home after a 16 day training event in Colorado. The plane has been sitting in the runway for over three hours due to lightning storms and we're not allowed to leave. We've spent more time on the ground waiting than the flight itself would take. FML
Today, I was at the airport getting ready to go to Hawaii. The guy at the counter said my flight was delayed. It turns out that the flight that was delayed was a flight going to Miami. My flight left at the regular time, and my luggage was on it, because I checked in the night before. FML
Today, I was stuck at the airport overnight waiting for my flight for about 5 hours. I then went and looked at the departures board. It said that my flight had already departed. FML
Today, I woke up at 3am to catch my flight back home, only to realize that my flight was pushed back 14 hours. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

ok you're other alternatives were : crash the wings are too heavy due to ice crash the plane is too heavy due to fuel crash the pilot falls asleep crash due to engine failure so going straight to work is better than not going to work because you're dead

Ah, yes. This so called "de-ice-ing" is a bitch.

That sucks, but I usually tell my work that I will be back at least two days after I'm actually back home from vacation for this reason. This also gives you time to unpack and unwind from your vacation, so you might want to consider doing this in the future...

Yes, very very very bad things happen when there is ice on aircraft wings. Search for videos on YouTube.

I don't believe "fuel being heavy" would be that big of a problem for a plane as much as LACK of fuel. Genius.

46 actually the plane could easily crash during landing from to much fuel if the engine troubles developed mid flight

True, but that doesn't make it suck any less. He could have been axe murdered and raped, but he wasn't. That doesn't mean this is GOOD. ******.

That happened with my parents recently on the way back from the US. They had to wait on the plane for two hours after it had landed, and then after waiting three hours for their suitcases, they were finally told that they were still on the plane as the door was frozen. They had to get their cases delivered to them two days later. I hate waiting at airports, etc. I feel your pain, OP.

Same I was stuck waiting for an airplane once for 8 hours because it had broken down on the tarmac of a nearby airport so they had to have one fly in drone somewhere else
