Scatterbrained

Today, while waiting for the bus, I googled walking directions to my destination, in case I had already missed the bus. I was so absorbed in my search that I missed the bus. FML

Did you not hear it pull up right in front of you?

Pay attention next time, definitely YDI

I've done that. Read a book while waiting and the bus drove straight passed me

You should have just waited for the bus to pick you up.

I can relate to this lesson--sometimes I worry too much about what might happen and don't see the solution right in front of me.

Good thing you knew walking directions eh?

Honestly, this is both a FYL and a YDI. It sucks because you may have needed that specific time to get wherever you needed to on time. However, you also deserve it for not realising the bus was coming up. It's dangerous to be so absorbed in your phone while walking, you could have fallen into the street or something. Perhaps, next time you need to Google something while walking, look up every sentence or two. It can help keep you safe and perhaps you'll never miss another bus. Hope you really didn't need that one!

At least you had a backup plan prepared

Play with the phone till the next bus arrive
