Today, I was going to work and got in the elevator. I was going through my bag for my phone and asked the man in the elevator to push the button for me. He gave me a look of death before I realized he had no arms. FML

Today, I worked up my courage and took an elevator for the first time in my life. Unfortunately, it was also my first time getting trapped for several hours in an elevator. FML

Fast food, hold the fast

By hails - 28/04/2022 04:00 - Canada - Toronto

Today, at work, I’ll admit that I wasn’t in a good mood. I work in fast food, and I went to hand this guy his food without looking and he didn’t grab it. I got frustrated so I FINALLY looked. With an equally as upset look, I noticed the guy didn’t have arms, so I’d just been shoving food in his face. FML

Introvert life

Today, at work I got in an elevator to go upstairs. It wasn't until the doors opened minutes later and people stepped in that I realized I had zoned out and forgot to press the button for the floor I needed. I then promptly exited the elevator and waited for the next elevator to go up in. FML

Today, as I got into an elevator, I spotted a little old lady hobbling desperately to get on. I frantically tapped on the 'door open' button but the doors closed. I got dirty looks from the people in the lift, only then did I realise I had frantically tapped the 'door close' button instead. FML

Today, I got stuck in an elevator. The help-line tells me, "Don't touch the door. We'll be there soon". Two hours later, I've got a headache, my legs are stiff and my date must think I stood her up. The tech finally arrives, pries the door open, then rudely asks, "Why didn't you do that yourself?" FML

Need a hand?

By Gary - 03/02/2023 04:00

Today, a shop I do work for sent a driver to pick up a large item. The driver was helping me load it, but was struggling and holding it awkward like he didn't know how to hold something heavy. Angrily I yelled at him to grab it like me with both his hands gripping the bottom. Turns out he was missing a hand. FML

Today, a really cute guy sat across from me on the bus. He smiled at me, then tensed his muscles and lifted a heavy bag with one arm. Thinking he was trying to act "macho" to impress me, I rolled my eyes and threw him an annoyed/disgusted look. When he got off, I realized he only had one arm. FML

Today, I got in an elevator at a hotel. Just as the door was closing, somebody banged into the door and stuck their hand through. I yelled, "What, are you retarded?!" The doors then opened to reveal a mentally handicapped boy with his parents standing behind him. FML

Today, I was working behind the bar at a club. After serving drinks to a guy, he asked me if I could carry them outside to the two girls waiting for him. I scowled at him and told him I wasn't a waitress. That's when I realised he had one arm. FML

Today, my building's elevators were temporarily out of service. I climbed up 17 flights of stairs only to realize I left my keys downstairs. After the painful climb back up, the elevator lights came on. FML

Then how did he get in and choose his floor in the first place? I'm calling shenanigans.

You didn't notice he had no arms, but he should have noticed that you didn't notice since you were digging around in your bag. Not really anybody's fault here.. :p awkwardly funny. Hope you didn't laugh :D

Looking at her picture, she is DEFINITELY a girl.

Whoops! My bad. I didn't click on it to see her profile. Sorry. You're the girl whose picture looks like his.

I think she meant the different colors. Plexico's picture looks like that, right? You can't really tell which gender someone is on the comment section based on a tiny picture.

Plexico has manboobs? That's what I got out of the comment. :)

I'm guessing.... he walked in with his feet.

he could have pushed it with his feet, but was mad because a woman with arms asked him to push the button because she had to find her phone. yes she made a mistake but apologise and move on. push the button and then look for her phone, kinda bitchy and self absorbed

this FML is fake!!! i read it somewhere else before. and "look of death" i wonder where you got this phrase from?

Wednesday 2 September 2009 20:52

I probably would've given you a look like that too regardless of my fully functioning arms. You didn't even look at him and asked him to do something that would hardly have interrupted your bag rummaging for more than 2 seconds.

Isn't it sadly ironic that ya always hear how handicapped, ethnics, aliens all want to be 'treated like everyone else'. But when that happens, the sh!t hits the fan...

"A look of death" anyone else notice all the catch-phrase trends on the FMLs? "Look of death" "hot and heavy"... Thats how you know they are fake.
