Transportation, Trains and Work: Too late

Too late

By Anonymous - 01/03/2015 13:31 - United Kingdom - Guildford

Today, while on the train heading to my new job, my coat caught between two seats. I didn't notice until my stop. I whacked myself in the face in front of everyone trying to get it free, and ended up missing my stop. When I finally got to work, I was told not to bother coming in again. 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 rushing to get on the train to work as I heard the "door closing" beeps. I was about to step onto the train when a man pushed me out of the way so that he could get on. My handbag fell out of my hand into the carriage. I stayed on the platform. FML

Crotch rot

Today, while on the train to university, I realized it was my stop and quickly stood up to get off. Or I would have, if my leg hadn't gone to sleep and caused me to fall, landing face first into the crotch of the old guy in front of me. FML

Today, I wore a coat that was too tight. The button gave way and quickly flew about ten feet to hit my very attractive new coworker right in the ass. FML

Today, while commuting to work on a peak hour train, I lost my balance and accidentally grabbed a bald mans head to steady myself. To make matters worse, the words "oh gosh, I'm so sorry. I thought you were a knob" came out of my mouth before I could think about what I was saying. FML

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 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

Today, I tried to jump through the closing train doors to make it in on time. I missed. FML

Today, as I was trying to get off a crowded train, some asshole pushed past me hard enough to nearly knock me over. My bag hit a preschool kid standing behind me, and I missed my stop trying to apologize to him. His mom yelled at me all the way to the next stop. 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

Yeah, it sounds like that scene from Birdman - ditch the robe and just strut the streets on your underwear.

YDI for using public transportation with all the creeps that use it. I hope you get raped, that's the only way you'll learn your lesson.

Uhhh.. news flash, not everyone can afford a car? I honestly can't tell if you're trolling, or if you're stuck in a bubble of privilege.

Burn that coat on a goat inside a boat. Now pray for good luck.

I would've tried my hardest to explain what happened. But if being late because of that was all it took you probably weren't very good at your job. It's ok thought. Look at it as an opportunity to find your true calling. Good luck finding a new job bud.

If you being late is all it took to get fired, you had it coming from some time now... They were waiting for an excuse, man. Don't worry, you're better off than working for those jerks. Go find yourself a company that respects you! Good luck.

i had a similar situation except my ride who worked at the place i was hired in at was forced to work another shift and couldn't notify me(no cellphone use allowed). and my uninsured car was stuck in 2 ft of snow. i called in to let them know and they told me the same thing... so that was a pretty crap day....
