Awkward, Language and Transportation: Legend says she's still riding around

Legend says she's still riding around

By Anonymous - 28/11/2010 05:05 - Thailand

Today, I was trying to get to my boyfriend via public transport in Thailand. He was giving the driver instructions through my phone when my phone went flat. I am now alone in the passenger seat of a car, next to a creepy old driver, no idea where he is taking me, and I don't speak a word of Thai. FML

Today, I got lost in a foreign city while on vacation and couldn't communicate with anyone, because I didn't speak the language and no one seemed to be able, or even wanted, to speak to me in mine. FML

Today, I fell asleep on the bus after a long day. I woke up to the driver nudging me, saying, "End of the line, mate." I had no idea where I was, and it was raining. FML

Today, I rode in the cab on the way back to my dorm from the airport. The taxi driver was on the phone and not really paying attention. I paid him and got out of the cab, but he drove away before I could get my luggage out of the trunk. FML

Today, I was saying goodbye to my boyfriend before I got on my bus. As I turned to get on, the door closed on my face. I knocked on the door. The driver looked at me, and while still staring at me, drove off. FML

Today, while working as an Uber driver, I asked my passenger for directions and she didn’t know. She was going to her own house. FML

Today, my friend and I were getting picked up by his dad after a carnival. As I put my stuff in the back of the car and shut the door to walk around to get in the other side, his dad drove off, thinking I was in the car, leaving me to walk up their hill. It was midnight and I ended up lost. FML

Today, my boyfriend's car broke down on the way to the gym, so he called his dad to give us a ride. On the way, his dad talked about how much he hates me and our relationship, as if I wasn’t sitting in the back seat directly behind them. FML

Today, my car broke down on my way home from university. I tried calling for help, only to realise my phone had completely run out of charge. Luckily, I had passed a police station so I decided to walk the 10 minutes down the road to ask for a phone. When I got there, the station was closed. FML

Today, my boyfriend and I were driving around town in his car. To my surprise he took me out to lunch. As we were leaving, a girl walks up and asks if he had room for one more for a ride, sadly he only has two seats in his car. Guess who had to walk! FML

Why assume that because he's a "creepy", old man he is going to do something to you? He is probably doing the best he can to get you where you're supposed to be. YDI for not preparing yourself for foreign travel. Charge your phone, learn some key phrases and the address of where you'll be staying, study a map of the area, and have a decent bf who will meet you when you fly in or send someone for you.

i have a feeling that this is fake.. Like everyone else has said, who in their right mind would go to a foreign country and speak a single word of their language? I call bullshit. YDI

if you can post this FML then you have an Internet source which means you should be able to contact your boyfriend or who ever it is, get the instructions, and show it to the driver. The FML's posted today so far SUCK

Being a 25 year old female who was in Thailand alone two weeks, ago visiting my husband at his port stop.. I don't buy this. Every cab driver, or TukTuk driver, I had new enough English to know where I needed to go. With one exception, and he went to the company 'hearquarters' so I could talk to someone who spoke English, and she showed him where to go. If this were true.. She should have had the driver take her somewhere she could charge her phone, and call her boyfriend back. Every hotel had wi-fi and electrical outlets..
