Transportation: Today, I was sitting on the train when some crazy man started...

Today, I was sitting on the train when some crazy man started talking to me. I ignored him, and he tapped on my shoulder. He started blabbing and I just pointed to my ears and mouthed, "I'm deaf." He stopped talking. A minute later my phone rang and I answered it without thinking. FML

Today, I was sitting on a bus. I'm deaf. An old lady looked very angry at me and started talking. Then she looked like she was screaming. I had to type on my phone that I'm deaf. Apparently, I'd been stepping on her foot. She decided to poke me in the eye and type, "Now you're blind too." FML

Today, while waiting for my train, I was listening to a voicemail message on my phone. Out of nowhere, a stranger came up to me from behind and screamed "DELETE!" into my ear. His voice command deleted my message. FML

Today, I was texting a guy that one of my friends told me about. She gave me his number and told me about how he was deaf. Three hours into great conversation I forgot and asked him what his favorite music was. FML

Today, I was walking to school with my earphones in, when someone tapped me on the shoulder. I was shocked, and whirled around to hit him in the crotch. I soon realized he was just trying to return the commuter pass I'd dropped at the station. FML

Foiled

Today, I was at the airport, when a lady came up and loudly asked if she could sit next to me. I have serious social issues, so to avoid having to talk to her, I pretended I was deaf and couldn't hear her. She immediately broke out her sign language skills. FML

Train guy

By silenceisgolden - 23/03/2020 01:39

Today, a guy on the train was using his phone really loudly, asking Siri to call a bunch of people, or using voice command to do the most menial things. He was really, really noisy. It's only after I couldn't stand it any more and asked him to be quieter that I noticed the white cane next to him. 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, a guy who annoys me walked over. To avoid speaking to him, I pretended to be on the phone and he walked away. A few moments later, my phone rang. I looked around to see if he'd seen me. He had. He was the one ringing me from down the hall. FML

Today, I was on the train when I fell asleep. Everything would have been fine but I was suddenly jerked awake by the very loud sound of my own fart, followed by the stares of many strangers. FML

I guess faking a serious impairment is always okay.

Don't be such a jerk. For all you know... he was telling you the secret of life! Dun dun dun... But no seriously, that plan was doomed to fail in some form.

NO deaf people should mouthed to someone saying "I'm deaf." The only way deaf people can communicate by sign language, and yes, some of us can talk. I am deaf, and I can talk & sign, but I cannot follow the communication. If a someone tries to talk to me, I usually would say, "I'm sorry, I'm hearing impaired, would you please repeat what you're trying to tell me?" AND it's a nice feeling to have someone talk to me like hearing people communicate. You know what? It's hard for most of the deaf people if hearing people doesn't communicate us normally or ignore us...It's NOT FAIR, we do have feeling, but we have to be strong. I find this VERY OFFENSIVE, and it makes me very angry after reading this. If you're in a deaf person's shoe, you will see & understand what it's like to be deaf.

You've obviously never been on the train in new york (city) and had a crazy person like mentioned above come sit down next to you, wreaking of urine, wanting to talk about how they are the son of god. If you ignore them sometimes they just make an even bigger deal about why you're ignoring them. Howabout YOU try putting yourself in the OP's shoes. She might not be as insensitive as you think.

Something like that happened to me once. I was waiting in the car while my mom was inside a store and this guy was selling something in the parking lot for a fundraiser. He knocked on the car window to talk to me about his product but I pointed to my ears saying that I was deaf. He walked away, but my mom came back and turned on the radio, and put the windows down. Without thinking I started singing along with the words of the song, the guy saw me and glared as we drove off.

Lismicha, shaddup. I'm deaf too and I usually encourage my hearing mother to do that to homeless people who try to bug her. I usually do that whenever someone tries to strike up a conversation. >_> Can't hear, sorry. Although this FML was funny, ouch.
