Today, while playing badminton at school, I got an opponent who is mentally handicapped. Since I'm terrible at the game, I guess the teacher assumed it would be a good match. I won the match, my first victory ever. My teacher accused me of cheating to humiliate him. FML

Today, I was babysitting, and we were playing a game. Because he was little, I let him win all the games. He then turned to me and said, "You're really bad at this." I got very defensive and won the next game, and was actually proud that I beat a 3-year-old. FML
Today, my boss's oldest son challenged me to a chess game. I've been practicing a lot, so I decided to humor him. He was a challenging opponent; not because he was skilled, however, but because he was trying to cheat almost constantly. I felt exasperated, rather than accomplished, when I beat him. FML
Today, a friend wanted to show me a game he bragged he was the best at. I beat his score on the first try, and now I have a black eye to prove it. FML
Today, I got my girlfriend to play Smash Bros Brawl with me. As it was her first time, I set up handicaps to give her at least a shot at winning. She won, quite handily. A little irritated at this, I took off the handicaps and tried again. She beat me even faster. FML
Today, after winning the first set for school tennis championship, the losing side refused to shake hands with my team. We ended up getting disqualified from the championship by the referee for bad conduct, even though it wasn't our fault. We told the referee what happened, and he said, "Suck it up." FML
Today, I was playing Badminton in P.E, and I was paired with a particularly pretty girl, who for some reason kept asking stupid questions that we both knew the answers to. I've only now just realized that she was trying to initiate conversation with me. This is why I have no friends. FML
Today, I was laughing at a girl who really sucks at badminton. Turns out she has anger issues, and a really good aim when she's mad. I've never been hit so hard in the crotch before. FML
Today, I went to play pool with a couple of friends. I'm not very good at this game. My friend beat me fair and square. Twice. He's blind. FML
Today, my mom stopped playing badminton with me because she claimed I was too aggressive. Apparently winning, playing by the rules, and smashing is considered aggressive. FML
Today, I was playing a math game with a 4th grade boy (I'm a college graduate). I cheated during the entire game, and still lost 7 of the 9 rounds we played. FML

Sounds like that teacher needs to reevaluate his/her own assumptions, in both ways.

Yeah, that teacher sounds like a total douche!

Or maybe the teacher was just a terrible person and made a bet that the OP was so bad that they'd lose to a mentally handicapped person and was angry because they lost the bet. It makes sense if you don't think about it;)

How does one cheat at badminton?...

Pretending to be horrible so you're placed in a lower pool, and then actually do well.
iLike2Teabag 27
I remember two teams tried to throw the match in the London Olympics so they'll be in a lower pool or won't have to face their own country or something. It was pretty disgusting.

You do look like your in the wrong. Sucks to be you. Well done for winning though :D

In the wrong for beating a handicapped person? What?
hellmate 12
how does winning a game put OP in the wrong
Morqan_Freeman 14
Without a doubt OP, from what you said you seem to have a judgemental, assuming, mean teacher. He deserves a racket slap so hard he'll have a waffle mark on his face. As a teacher his actions are unacceptable.

God, I hate it when people baby mentally handicapped kids. They're normal people, they can deal with losing a badminton game in gym class. Giving the "special" kids special treatment will only teach them that they can get whatever they want because of their disability.

#2 you're everything wrong with white girls >.>

Finally. Someone else shares the same opinion as me!

Lol "wrong for beating a handicap person?" sound really bad
Shade1982 20
@40: Not only that, those who can understand what is going on will feel belittled for being treated like less of a human being...

Too many special needs kids exist tpday

And tell me how we're gonna change that.

#3: Diagnoses have become more accurate, and social acceptance has grown. Better than the old idiotic belief that they were possessed by demons right?

#3, no... just no...

Oh god oh god. Gotta think of something clever to comment!

I am pretty sure you failed.
iipinkette 16
The teacher shouldn't of matched you up with him if they weren't prepared for the possible outcome of you winning !
buckeyed 20
Not going for grammar nazi status, but I do feel that it's a common misconception to say "should of" because it sounds right. It's actually "should have," but people frequently combine the words so it turns into "should've", which sounds like "should of". The more you know! :D

Now tell us something relevant.
buckeyed 20
I'd argue that language is always relevant.

I love FML for this. It's one of the very few communities out there where people hate it when other people use of instead of have

I know right.
Pleonasm 35
If the handicapped person knows none of the rules, then OP can abuse them: score, serves, anything. Or just take advantage of the handicap depending on the one. Not that that is the case, nor the point.

Cheating at badminton is hard.
Shade1982 20
That's exactly what I want to know too...

#6 maybe sabotage and stroke off the shuttle ****? Or maybe even start up and give the guy a dubious racquet...
gingaa96 18
Lol @49, like you've done it
amyfox1718 12
Wow rude teacher much
Sports_guy3 28
Uh, congrats on the victory...?
Lanker 17
Geez, that teacher seems like a real biatch, I`m sorry OP. But hey, gratz on your first win
perdix 29
During an important point, did you show him your shuttlecock?
shaww 28
It landed right in his mouth... And somehow the tip of the shuttlecock left some sweat in his mouth
doodlecloud 26
I think you may be trying too hard...
HeyTherexxx 21
I laughed at this. It might be my juvenile sense of humour, but regardless, Perdix is funny. :]

Do you suppose there has ever been such a thing, as a match of goodminton?
