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

Hey, at least you didn't have to drive across Texas.

At least it was across Pennsylvania instead of a cross Texas.

People underestimate how wide PA is. I live in Pittsburgh and get real tired of people talking about Philly like it's a reasonable distance. My aunt lives across the state and I only see her once every few years because it's too far for her to drive on a regular basis.

Sure, it's not next door by any means, but Google Maps claims that is a 5-hour drive. You could drive twice that in a single direction and still be in Texas.

Sure, but the point is, compared to Texas? I mean, really. I think you might be underestimating how wide Texas is.

On an East-West vertex Texas and PA are very similar, its North-South that makes Texas so big.

No, #47. Texas is 801 miles across. Pennsylvania is only 307 miles across. Texas is over two and a half times longer. Nowhere near the same.

In Texas, a five hour drive is short. Heck, I drive that every couple months.

Pittsburgh and Philly I'm guessing?

Well done for what you did OP. Honestly, I would of done the same. But I live in QLD in Australia, and if they went to the wrong airport, we both would be stuffed

There are so many damn commas in that first sentence.
