Today, my boyfriend decided to start an argument and storm off the train we were on. Two stops later, ticket inspectors hopped on the train. He had our tickets. FML

Today, on a train to the airport, the ticket inspector pointed out that my girlfriend and I hadn't activated our tickets. He suggested one of us get off and activate them at the next station. Now I'm on the moving train with all our luggage, and she's waving from the platform with our tickets. FML

Today, we were supposed to go to Disneyland but we got in a blazing argument. Then this morning I woke up to my alarm clock disabled, he was gone, my ticket was in the kitchen shredded, and when I rang him the bastard was in the first class lounge, waiting to get on the plane without me. FML

Today, I was quietly reading in the subway, when all of a sudden, at a station, the man sitting next to me stood up, slapped me, yelled "Bitch!", and rushed off the train. FML

Today, my train was canceled so my ticket expired by the time another train arrived. I was fined $90 by ticket inspectors 'cause my claim that the early train didn't run was "unsubstantiated". Leaving the train I was pushed by the crowd, fell, lost a shoe and had to walk home with one bare foot. FML

Today, I found out my long-distance boyfriend was trying to pick fights with me and start pointless arguments because he wanted a ticket out of the relationship. He wanted to find a reason to break up with me, rather than confess he has a local girlfriend. FML

Today, while on my way to the movies, I stopped at a gas station to pick up candy so I could avoid the high prices at the movies. The guy who tore my ticket asked for my purse, confiscated my candy, and then kicked me out of the movie theater. That guy was my boyfriend. FML

Today, I'd purchased a ticket for the train on my mobile app. Some idiot pushed past me on his way out and in the process makes me drop my phone, ruining it. A conductor then came to check my ticket and I got fined 150 dollars. FML

Suspicious

Today, I was working as a ticket inspector on a train. A suspiciously-acting thirty something guy got on board with two huge bags. Worried, I kept an eye on him. I wasn't disappointed when he got 5 furry toys out of his bags and started to have a conversation with them. FML

Today, I got on a two hour train ride to go to a concert. I had been so caught up in handling the train tickets that halfway to the concert, I realized I had left the concert tickets on my dresser. 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

Let's go full-on paranoid and say the boyfriend tipped off the inspectors to get on before your stop, but after the one he planned to storm off on. What a bastard!

Pronouns refer to the last proper noun that fits the gender. The sentence suggests the ticket inspector had your tickets.

Thumbs up for reenacted the douchy argument OP had with her boyfriend.

Actually, pronouns refer to the last proper noun that fits the gender AND quantity (singular or plural). If OP had said "ticket inspector" rather than "ticket inspectors," you'd be correct. Stop embarrassing the real grammar Nazis.

You couldn't help it that your boyfriend stormed off the train. But why would you stay on the train while you knew he had the tickets? If you didn't know, YDI a bit for being that little circumspect. If you did know, Y(totally)DI for staying on the train without tickets.

Or maybe you're a brain-dead dumb-**** who thinks the woman is automatically at fault in any given situation.

How did your boyfriend end up with your ticket? Did he perhaps pay for the both of you?

Tell the ticket inspectors that someone has your ticket, give them the name of the person, address and description. Obviously they would find the indervidual somewhere on the train if they're inspecting tickets because they have to check everyone at some stage. Problem solved.

Sorry, I didn't see that he stormed OFF the train (and for some reason, FML wouldn't let me edit). I'm pretty sure they would also have an option where you can mail the fine and the ticket back to the company who issued the fine in the first place.
