Today, I took a coach bus to travel to New York. Along the way, the bus stopped at Burger King and I went out to buy some food. When I got back, I couldn't find the bus. It left without me. FML

Today, I was sitting on the bus to the gym. I saw that an old woman needed help to get off the bus, so I got up, and helped her off. When I had finally got her down the stairs the bus closed the doors and drove away. I was in the middle of nowhere and the bus drove away with all my things. FML

Today, I was on a very crowded bus, standing near the back door. People had to get off at the stop, and being near the door, I had to step off the bus, allowing the people to exit. I was about to enter back into the bus, the door closed and the bus driver took off, leaving me stranded. FML

Today, I was running to the bus stop to catch the bus. The bus driver smiled, waved, and drove away without letting me get on. FML

Today, I had to catch a shuttle bus. I awoke to the sound of a car horn. I ran out in my boxers and saw a bus take off down the road. I chased it, thinking I had missed my bus. I realized I hadn't only when I saw frightened kids in the back of the bus. FML

Today, I took the bus home after visiting a friend. Standing in front of my house, I realized that I had forgotten my keys. They were still in my car, which I had parked at my friend's place and forgotten. FML

Today, I was on the bus, when the inspector asked to see my ticket. I couldn't find it, and ended up being kicked off the bus while a few of the other passengers jeered at me. I found my ticket on the long walk home, buried in my pocket. FML

Today, I was so busy checking my phone for live bus arrival times I didn't notice the bus pull up, let the people beside me on, and drive away. FML

Long day

Today, I got the bus to work instead of walking so I could be there faster. However, I accidentally got on the wrong bus which let me off a mile and a half away from my workplace. Then, after another half-hour of trying to walk there, I found that it wasn't even open that day. FML

Today, my roommate wanted me to try out a new bus route home, I knew it might take longer but she really wanted me to try, so I went with her. After waiting for ages at The Exchange bus stop for the last bus home, we missed it, and had to take an Uber. FML

Today, after doing a graveyard shift at work, I took the bus home. I fell asleep on the way and woke up 25 miles away from my bus stop. I took another bus heading back and couldn't stay awake. I then woke up where I started from. FML

Was it meant to be a food stop? Did you tell the driver that you were getting food and would be back? Was the line at Burger King so long that the driver assumed you had been kidnapped and gave up?

Did the driver give a specific time of departure? That or someone sneak on and took your seat, because coach companies should do head counts.

Damn that sucks OP. No burger is worth that. Hope you got where you needed to be without too much difficulty.

It's every person's worst nightmare! I hope you were able to get back on the bus somehow!

I know that same Burger King. It is definitely a food stop, but you'd better get in line for food right away or else the driver won't notice you!

This sounds like Megabus or Boltbus. Those drivers don't play about their time limits at food stops. I almost got left in Delaware because of a long line at McDonalds

Did you not ask how long the bus was gonna be stopped?

I've taken a coach home from Blackpool before and there was a food stop then, they clearly stated what time to be back on the coach for and they made sure everyone knew what time the coach would be leaving, whether you were back on it or not. Unless they didn't tell you what time to be back by, I'm leaning more towards YDI.

Time to file a complaint to the bus company. But on the other hand was there enough time to stop for a burger. And even if not the driver should have done a head count before driving off. So what happened?
