Today, while on a crowded public bus, a cute girl asked if she could sit next to me. Problem is, I didn't hear correctly and thought she asked if anyone was sitting next to me. I answered no, causing her to walk off angrily and earning me several disgusted stares from other passengers. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was on the bus, heading to work, when the girl beside me started yelling at me, claiming I was staring down her shirt. I did no such thing, but the driver nonetheless stopped the bus and made me get off, all under the withering glares of the other passengers. FML
Today, a total stranger on the bus called me hideous and threw a soda in my face. I only asked him if the seat next to him was taken. FML
Today, I was riding the bus home from college. I was standing in the aisle and there was a rather cute girl sitting next to me. The bus came to an abrupt stop, I tripped, and fell into her lap. She shrieked, "Eww! Get off me!" and shove me onto the floor of the bus. Nice to know I'm revolting. FML
Today, I had my headphones on while on the bus. I didn't realize how loud the music was till the woman sitting next to me punched me for changing her favorite song and then "ignoring her" when she asked me to put it back. FML
Today, a lady on the bus came up to me and asked if she could sit down. Thinking she meant the seat next to me, I said sure. She meant my lap. FML
Today, a pretty girl joined the line at the bus station. I let her skip the line and go before me so I could sit next to her. After she bought her ticket, I realized there were no more seats left on that bus. I was told to get off, and had to take the next bus, sitting next to a snoring old man. FML
Today, I was sitting on a bus. I'm deaf. An old lady looked very angry at me and started talking. Then she looked like she was screaming. I had to type on my phone that I'm deaf. Apparently, I'd been stepping on her foot. She decided to poke me in the eye and type, "Now you're blind too." FML
Today, while on the bus, I found out the seat I'd taken was the preferred spot of a very hostile and extremely overweight freshman. Instead of letting me find different place to sit, she half sat on me, and completely ignored my attempts to dislodge myself all the way to school. FML
Today, I was sitting on the bus and as I'm quite short my legs were dangling. Some guy, who wasn't looking where he was going, tripped over my foot and went flying. He and everyone else on the bus glared at me like it was deliberate. The man next to me even changed seats in disgust. FML
Today, as I walked on to the bus, the girl I liked whispered something to her friend. Curious, I asked what was so funny. She said she never realized that when I got on, I shook the bus. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

You should have follow up with: "I meant: how about we both get off the bus now and I'll take you back to my place, for some hot, steamy...broccoli. And more." That always works for me.

And her beauty was too stunning that shyness overcame you, stopping you from approaching her to tell her you misunderstood her and that she could sit next to you?

I would just say "You can sit there if you wish" in such a situation. Sometimes, I can't understand exactly what they are saying (i.e. "Is anyone sitting there?" vs. "Is it okay if I sit there?", not sure if this is the correct use of i.e.), but it is rather easy to tell that they want to know if they are allowed to sit in said seat.

On the 'i.e'-thing, if you can replace 'i.e.' with 'that is', then you're probably using it correctly. If instead you're just giving an example of something, you should use 'e.g.'. Example: 'In some Asian countries (e.g. China, Japan) rice is a very important dish.' (there are more Asian countries where rice is an important dish) and 'In some Asian countries (i.e. China, Japan) rice is a very important dish.' (Rice is important ONLY in China and Japan). In the first one you're just givin a few examples, in the second one you're clarifying exactly which countries you mean. Another example with 'i.e.': He's a neurologist, i.e. someone who studies the nervous system. I'm not really sure about your post, but I think 'e.g.' might be better suited in this case, though it's a very subtle difference.

Normally when you dont hear someone you ask them to repeat what they said. Just because you thought they said one thing doesn't mean you shouldn't still ask to be sure. Better luck next time.

Why would there be an empty seat on a crowded bus? *Philosoraptor face*

Good things to do when answering yes or no is acknowledging the question. If you had said, "no, there isn't anyone sitting next to me.", this wouldn't have happened.

Why do people always mention when the other person is cute? Is it not as bad if you're rude to an ugly girl?
