Don't tread on me

By Kate - 23/04/2009 14:09 - United States

Today, I was waiting for the train. It arrived, I got on and the woman behind me stepped on the back of my shoe. My shoe came flying off and landed in the gutter between the train and the platform. The doors closed, the train pulled away. FML

Today, I was rushing to get on the train to work as I heard the "door closing" beeps. I was about to step onto the train when a man pushed me out of the way so that he could get on. My handbag fell out of my hand into the carriage. I stayed on the platform. FML

Today, while getting on the subway, I tripped over the gap between the train and the platform. My flip-flop caught on the edge, and fell into the gap. I had to walk home with one flip-flop. FML

Today, I was on the train to work. I was up late the night before, causing me to doze off. When I woke up, I was at my station. I stood up, went to walk out of the door and fell flat on my face on a platform full of people. Someone had tied my shoelaces together. FML

Today, I was sitting waiting for my train for a long while. When it finally came, I had pins and needles in my foot. When I got up, I fell and unsuccessfully stumbled towards the train. The doors closed and it left without me. FML

Today, I was on a crowded el train listening to my iPod touch. As I stepped off the train, my headphones got caught on a man's jacket and my iPod fell on the floor. The doors shut. I then watched the train pull away. With my iPod on it. FML

Today, as I was stood on an escalator, my shoelace got caught in the step. Panicking, I tried to pull it out, but my shoe came off. I had to awkwardly hop back down the escalator to retrieve it while everyone around me in the mall watched. FML

Today, I ran for the train that was about to leave. I tried to hold the doors open with my leg and got stuck. The conductor just yelled out how unbelievable and ridiculous I was and waited 2 minutes to finally release me. Everyone was laughing at me. FML

Today, I was going shopping with a friend. I got up to get off the train and landed on my ass. Not only had I walked into the metal bar, I'd broken my $800 glasses, and the train doors had closed, with my friend on the other side of the doors. FML

Today, I ran for the first time in ages when I saw my bus coming. My loose shoe went flying into a shop doorway, and I tripped into the gutter. FML

Stuck

By Anonymous - This FML is from back in 2011 but it's good stuff - Australia

Today, I was on train when an attractive girl got on. There were no free seats and seeing as how my stop was next, I gave her mine. As soon as I did, the train came to an immediate halt, due to "brake problems". I spent the next 40 minutes standing up. FML

It sucks to be going somewhere with only one shoe on though...how weird and embarrassing. :P Also depending on where you're going, it could be pretty messy without a shoe.

people say shit like "oh noes you life is ******!!!" or call it lame. seriously? most FMLs on this site aren't entirely life *******. someone went on a bad date, girl friend sneezed on guy during sex, kids tell adult they suck, douchebag, fat, ugly. if people took this attitude, then one cud say "lame" or "not even an fml" or "...so?" to every ******* post. seriously, shut the **** up. only real kind of fml is like, i go cancer, my wife died, my leg got cut off, etc etc etc. l2notbeafuckingshithead??

how did your shoe go flying off just by someone stading on the back of it?

#84 - Someone steps on back of shoe - Your foot is still moving forward whilst back of shoe is pinned down - if you don't stop moving, you end up flinging your shoe with your toes. It's pretty common with flip flops and back-less shoes. =)

I hope you didn't have any embarrassing socks on. That really would've been FYL.

#40- Embarassing? No. There are much, MUCH weirder characters out there. Plus, I'd just take off the other shoe and go barefoot till I could buy/borrow/get another pair. As long as needles and public bathrooms are avoided...there wouldn't be much that couldn't be washed off.

Hey look on the bright side! You now have an excuse to buy two new pairs of shoes: pair 1: to replace the ones you lost pair 2: to get over the trauma that this obviously cost. Or at least that's what I'd do. LOL :o) And to everyone saying that this isn't an FML: Throw your shoe out the train door then walk where ever you are going with one shoe and then lets see if you still think the OP should 'just get over it and grow up'.
