Today, I entered the crowded bus and one man sitting in the priority seat glanced at me. Upon seeing my protruding tummy, he quickly offered me his seat. I took the seat. I am not pregnant. FML
I agree, your life sucks (5718) - you totally deserved it (14446)

It doesn't suck, she took the seat and posted an FML about it...lol. Therefore, she couldn't have been too upset or offended by the gesture.
Also, OP appearing pregnant even though your not, isn't exactly something to be proud of.

"Also, OP appearing pregnant even though your not, isn't exactly something to be proud of."
That's PROBABLY what the fml is about. She still deserves it for nicking his seat though. He might've been seriously handicapped, OP is just fat.

#40 and #49... I don't think so, she said it was a crowded bus so I'm sure there were other ladies standing before op entered.
Who cares if he thinks your pregnant. Free seat. Win all.

"I'm fat fml"
here's an idea, how about you lose wait if being fat bothers you
typing up an fml doesn't count as exercise by the way

ohh, burn, whered you get that joke from your dad telling your mom, listen i bet your like 9 or some shit like that, oh and by the way its 'weight' not 'wait', which makes me belive you're a nine year old... or at least have the mental capacity of one.

Today, a guy kindly gave me his seat on the bus. FML

Fat people need to rest their belly somewhere, too, I suppose. Use that blubber to your advantage. It may be your only flab pass :]
yeah true get on the treadmill at the gym but make sure to check that there aren't any young children around or anyone else that looks like they would get grossed out
#75 - On 02/08/2010 at 5:12pm by pongmaster
wow ur being really mean so people have to take meds and some of the side affects are weight gain how do u know that it why the are over weight and I bet ur a fat ass too!
b••••

#6 - On 02/08/2010 at 10:33am by xxmarlboroxx
lmao at #7!
That's exactly what happened. YDI for being fat.
#85 - On 02/08/2010 at 8:02pm by scorpioserpent
To be fair on the guy he may have just been attempting to be chivalrous, so it's harsh for you to be feeling indignant concerning his kind action.
#8 - On 02/08/2010 at 10:35am by TomFantastic
At least he was kind enough to offer his seat. And you saved him embarrassment by taking it instead of pointing out the error. I think the situation went as smoothly as it could.
Maybe you can use this as your wake up call to finally get on a path to losing weight if it really bothered you.
Mine was when I saw myself in a picture about 2 years ago...I was so big, my face looked like it was swollen from a bee sting or something.
I was disgusted with myself, so I started doing something about it. 35 pounds lost so far. :)

I agree.
and really if being fat bugs you DO something about it rather than sitting on the computer whining about it.
#25 - On 02/08/2010 at 11:28am by KarasuFyre
You know... in theme parks they let cripples go to the front of the line. Use it to your advantage Chubs :} It counts as a disability ;p obviously since you're taking the bus and unable to walk for long!! >_>
#12 - On 02/08/2010 at 10:41am by PsychoMerk
#9 it took you two years to lost 35 lbs? really fat peoples can lose a couple lbs a week on a proper diet. and 5 made me shit me pants with laughter
You must have already shit your brains out at an earlier childish remark then, if that's your mentality.
Flame away at me if you must, but this guy is talking out of his arse. It's easier to lose weight early on in a diet, and it gets harder to lose as you go along, so 35lbs in two years is not too bad.
Keep it up SailorButterfly.
people who get extremely offended by FML comments are funny. hey, did you hear about the fat woman that ate her young?
#34 - On 02/08/2010 at 11:54am by expen_dable
I don't get offended expen_dable; I find these people to be easy targets themselves, as they are the stupid ones, and deserving of vilification much more than the people they insult.
who cares how fast he's losing weight. at least he's losing it.
personally I'm at a life maximum of 17 bmi.... trying to gain weight. he's losing a hell of a lot faster than I'm gaining so good for him.
You should have taken the bag of chips he was eating also. Nobody screws with a fat/pregger chick.
#18 - On 02/08/2010 at 10:54am by CallMeHush
*sigh* I am a bit tired of the fat people FMLs. You obviously know you are overweight (if you don't then this is a wake up call). If it bothers you that much when people notice your weight then do something about it.
if Dave hadn't said it perfectly I would have said something like this..... " lose weight you fat ass bitch".. but Dave you about covered it
No, Dave didn't say it perfectly. He spelled "you're" wrong, and he's an ignorant cowardly arsehole who probably only has the guts to insult people from behind his keyboard, much like you.
And yes, I know that's what I've just done.
Ever thought he didn't think you were pregnant and was just being kind and offering his seat to a woman?
#30 - On 02/08/2010 at 11:41am by NyronNosworthy
He yielded his seat to the handicapped. Your big ol' potbelly is crippling any chance you have to get laid.
He didn't think you were pregnant.. he has a tummy fetish. He wanted to blow raspberries on your stomach and find the treasure that awaits in your yummy overlapping rolls :3 Jump up and down and it might reigster on the richter scale- what my dad told me when I was a chunker, Hah.
#38 - On 02/08/2010 at 11:58am by alexandraa
Congratulations, you've learned about one of the only benefits of being overweight.
#44 - On 02/08/2010 at 12:46pm by Ashle1gh
I asked a woman whether she was pregnant when I was five. It got a laugh but I never did it again.

Hey, if you can, why Not use it? xD
#54 - On 02/08/2010 at 2:04pm by XRockerChildX
just go to the gym seriously it does eiders I've lost 22 pounds in a month in a half from the gym! and I wasn't even that big seriously I was chunky not quite fat yet and I noticed it and did something about it! do the same
#65 - On 02/08/2010 at 3:20pm by blondie007
honey, if you lost 22 pounds in 6 weeks by just going to the gym, you weren't chubby........you were obese. Someone who has a little bit of extra weight cannot lose 3-4 pounds a month just by going to the gym (they'd have to go to the gym every single day and eat next to nothing to achieve something like that)
It's not that unlikely. I lost 5 pounds in two weeks and all I weigh is 140lbs. Basically my weight always hovers at the same number, so if I go over/under it it's very easy to get back to it.
err...i lost like 3lbs in a week and i weigh 118..then again my weight does fluctuate.....so idk.
#112 - On 02/10/2010 at 1:34am by hottanimegurl18
I didn't say that it's impossible to lose 3-4 pounds a week......I just said it's impossible for someone to accomplish such a result by just going to the gym and nothing else, unless they are obese. Yeah, you can go on a 500 Kcal/day diet and exercise enough every day in order to burn about 2000 kcal/day and you'll get there......but that's not "just going to the gym"
Also, there's a difference between losing 3-5 pounds in a week and then stopping and losing 22 pounds over the course of 6 weeks. If we're talking about a person who is a bit overweight, their body can take the shock for 1-2 weeks, but after 6 weeks they could have serious health problems.
In the case of an obese person, such rapid weight loss is quite normal, especially during the first few months. And they'd achieve that even if they weren't on a strict diet.
Go take a run, chubbs. It won't kill you, I promise.

ydi. look at the bright side, at least men would be nice to you coz they think you're preggers.
#81 - On 02/08/2010 at 6:24pm by xoxcinderellaxox
lol that's pretty funny. it makes me think of that Hugh grant movie two weeks notice when he says to this fat black lady "congratulations on the baby." and she's like "what baby? what baby?" lol.
#93 - On 02/08/2010 at 10:10pm by sydneyanne
The priority seats are for those who actually need it and are disabled not for fat asses like you OP
#96 - On 02/08/2010 at 11:22pm by XanimalloverX
Hey, at least he was nice enough to offer it! When I was pregnant I had to take the train on a super busy day and the only person to offer their seat was an elderly man.
I'm not saying that people have to offer their seats, but it's certainly a polite gesture. Lord knows the world needs more of those these days.
Why does everybody assume the OP is fat?
Most pople can differentiate between a fat woman and a pregnant one. If the man thought she was pregnant, maybe it is just her belly that is abnormally big for the OP's body.
I had a roommate who was quite tiny but had a big tummy (big enough for people to think she was 5-6 months pregnant) because she had thyroid problems
You could have been offended, you could have whined and sobbed about it all day, but you took the seat instead. Good for you.
ever occur to u that he may have just been being nice and offering you a seat?
#110 - On 02/10/2010 at 12:05am by WilAllExpert
i YDI every single "i'm fat and somebody correctly informed me of it" ... i'm so over these.
#113 - On 02/10/2010 at 4:09am by stillxsearching
That's not an FML even if you didn't take the seat, so what if you look fat.
