Transportation: Stuck

Stuck

By kraussy - 04/05/2009 06:28 - United States

Today, I went to the eye doctor and they used dilating eye-drops on me. After I left, my vision was still pretty blurry. I walked to the subway and when I went to step onto the train, I missed and my whole left leg got stuck in the gap. The train was delayed 10 minutes because of me. 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

Taking a stand

By vampyrate3562 - 29/01/2015 12:56 - United Kingdom

Today, I had to run for the train, but because of my bad foot and limping they held the train, much to people's displeasure. No one let me sit down, so for the 20 minute journey, I stood. With a bad foot. FML

Classic

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 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 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, 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 got into the shower with my glasses on by mistake. I spent 5 minutes convinced that the fog in my vision was me going blind. FML

Today, while waiting on the platform, a blind man asked out loud for some help getting into the subway car. I helped him through the doors and into a seat. I decided to sit down as well. Twenty minutes later, I realized I was on the wrong subway line. FML

Run run run

By cmzraxsn - This FML is from back in 2010 but it's good stuff - United Kingdom

Today, I ran to catch the train, but slipped on the stairs and fell on my shoulder. However, my effort was rendered useless; it wasn't even my train. 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

Although you are pretty lucky the train didn't go off and tear your leg off along with it.

You ought to be praising god that the train didnt leave without you. I dont understand why you're bitching that they were nice enough to stop. Today, i got stuck in the gap between the subway and the walkway and the subway took off and ripped off my left leg. FML there's an fml

Ummm I'm sorry but if that happened it's not because you had your eyes dilated. I work at an optometrist office and the only problem you would have with dilation is that you wouldn't be able to read as clearly. Your even capable of driving without any problem. So, if you did get stuck it's not because of dilation but rather because your either clumsy or you couldn't see because you have bad eyes.

you asshole! as a frequent subway traveler and a potential passenger on that train that you delayed, i'll conveniently blame you for the local train taking forever to get to my station thus making me a few minutes late to ... well i wasn't late, but it's your fault i wasn't early!

Did you put on the hideous sunglasses they gave you?! If not YDI

#79 To what luxurious doctor are you going that they give you sunglasses for a standard procedure? When I visit mine there are usually several people next to me waiting for the drops to start working. The clinique has 3 eye doctors sharing duty, so estimating 10 people a day, 7 days a week would make over 3500 sunglasses a year. And that is a low estimate. The only time I really needed sunglasses after a visit was after my eye operation. And they actually checked that I brought them. But then I was having the operation in exactly that month where it never gets dark here.

#11, you must work at a shitty ass optometrists who can't even dilate pupils right. When your eyes are dilated light penetrate your eyes more, making every brightness super intense, making it hard to see. Maybe you should find a profession where you actually know what the ***** going on.

I would be so happy that train didn't leave the station. This can't be a FML for that reason alone.

#11 Don't brag about working in an optemetrist's office. You can't even use the correct version of "you're" in the beginning of your third sentence. That makes you look even more stupid, and people discredit what stupid people have to say.

Wow that must have been so scary....I would definitely not be FMLing over the 10minutes of awkwardness but rather be intensely relieved(sp?) I still had my leg in tact.
