Today, my friend, who I'm moving in with, flew up to drive from Pennsylvania to Texas, where she lives, with me. I went to the airport to pick her up and we discovered she accidentally flew to the wrong airport. On the other side of the state. I'm driving through the night to rescue her. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, as a good friend, I went to pick up my buddy from the airport. I arrived at the wrong terminal and waited for an hour before realizing he had landed an hour earlier at the other terminal. By the time I found his whereabouts, he'd already taken an Uber home. FML
Today, I went to the airport to pick up my friend. It wasn't until I got there that I realized I'd come on the wrong day. Her flight arrived yesterday, so that explains her radio silence for the past two days. I just thought she was in transit, but turns out she's pissed at me and wants me to pay for the Uber ride she had to take home from the airport. FML
Today, I went to visit my aunt who lives 6 hours away from me. Her car was missing from her driveway, but she's unemployed and barely leaves the house. Turns out, she moved in with her new boyfriend and didn't tell anyone, so I had to drive 6 hours back. FML
Today, I was following my friend to her house in my car, because I didn't know where it was. I'd been following her for at least an hour when she pulled into a gas station. Turns out I'd been following the wrong car. I have no idea where I am. FML
Today, I was helping my friend pack her carry on for her vacation. I drove her to the airport, and after her plane took off, I noticed I put my cell phone in her purse. Her vacation is 2 months long. FML
Today, I wanted to surprise my long distance girlfriend by flying to her unannounced. When I arrived at her house, her family tells me that she herself boarded an unannounced flight to where I lived hours ago. Surprise. FML
Today, unbeknownst to me, my wife cancelled our airplane tickets because she didn't want to face her fear of flying like we had agreed. Now, we're going to have to take another week off so I can drive 3000 miles cross country, while she sleeps in the shotgun seat because her licence expired. FML
Today, at the airport, I was waiting for my best friend who's been away for over a year. I spotted her, ran over, yelled her name, and jumped on her back. It wasn't her. It was a complete stranger who was somehow more terrified than I was embarrassed. FML
Today, I helped my fiancé pack up and head to Texas for a business trip. I'm not only going to miss him, but I'll also miss my car keys that I accidentally left in his car. I drive for a living. FML
Today, I found out that my best friend is moving to Arkansas, and my girlfriend is going with him. FML

I'd love to know because you can't get onto the wrong plane in most major airports, with that level of security it would be so easy to do

It's quite possible that when she was purchasing her ticket, she selected the wrong destination airport in PA. That's the only way this makes sense to me.

If you don't know the state well and you don't research so you just book a flight to the state your friend lives in

Most states will have an all airport button you can click to see if it's cheaper to fly to a diffrent one in the same state (usally not to far away from your destination). She probably didn't realize which air port it was and just bought the ticket.

Until I hear differently I prefer to assume that she was, in fact, wearing a cape the whole time.

Hopefully it didn't DRIVE you crazy!

There's really no point in making puns if you're just going to capitalize them. You need to bold, italicize, underline, and overline your puns to ensure people get them.

Literally this. Many a good puns have been ruins by all caps because it makes it look try hard

So she flew into Pittsburgh instead of Philadelphia or vice versa?

A road trip, eh? Well hey. As long as the car is comfy, and he scenery is nice, it can't be that bad!

Well OP is driving through the night so there's not much to see but darkness.

You'll be surprised what you find in the shadows..

So you live in Pennsylvania, she lives in Texas... You're moving to Texas to live with her... And she flew up to Pennsylvania to help you move and drive down to Texas. But she flew to the wrong part of Pennsylvania. So hopefully you were able to take your stuff with you to pick her up so that you can just go straight to Texas? But that would also suck to haul all your stuff that distance. And how do you fly to the wrong city? Omg my brain hurts.

Thank you for clarifying what the OP meant. I honestly had no idea how to draw this out in my head geographically because of the way it was worded. You saved me a lot of time and a headache lol.
False_Stupidity 42
Same here, the wording was very confusing. Thanks for untangling that.

Agreed. I was lost too. FML.

Oh good! At first I thought I was being silly and would be downvoted but I posted anyway hoping it would help someone else. I was super confused at first.

Yeah, I was thinking they were driving across Texas to rescue the friend. That would have been much worse, haha.

On the flip side, these things makes great memories to look back to

Please don't listen to her directions on the way to Texas. I'd hate for you to end up in Seattle.

Her hero!!! You rock.

At least it wasn't the other way around and she flew to the wrong side of Texas.
