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

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

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

Your lucky you didn't break your leg, or what if the subway train took off a couple seconds right after you fell and tore your leg off!?

That's just bad luck. Should have gone with someone so they could help you along but it's really not all your fault. You couldn't see. I'm sorry.

Um, whoever said they work in an optometrist's office and that the dilation doesn't make it hard to see, have you ever even USED those drops on yourself? The last time I went to the eye doctor, they put that stuff in my eyes and it made them so sensitive to light that I couldn't walk outside without squinting or my eyes tearing up in pain. That's why they give you sunglasses. Yeah.

Damn that sucks. I got my eyes dilated for the first time two months ago and the doctor didn't warn me that my vision would be messed up once I got in sunlight. I can totally understand that happening.

#11: Maybe you should go to an eye doctor. It's obviously been ages since you've been properly checked out, since the dilating drops to make things blurry. #22: Why, yes, because operating a motor vehicle when you can't see is much smarter, as would be walking through the city trying to get a cab. You obviously succeed at logic. Congratulations!
