Today, I was stretching after a group run. I noticed one of the girls was having problems balancing, so I told her that I have horrible balance too, but that it'll get better. She sneered and said she had a brain tumor when she was a kid, and that's why she has such bad balance. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I overheard this girl I don't really know say that she had cramps. Trying to be helpful, I turned round and told her she should stretch out where she had them. She then asked how the fuck she was supposed to stretch her ovaries. FML
Today, I was running the 100m sprint in a track meet. Me and another girl were tied for dead last. When we finished, she complained, "It's so embarrassing how slow I am today. I have shin splints. What happened to you?" I was actually running my hardest. FML
Today, I was trying to make a good impression with my fiancé's friends. After a few hours, I thought all was going well. As I walked to the washroom, I heard, "So what disability does she have? No one can be like that without something wrong in their brain." FML
Today, I got punched in the back by elderly woman because she thought I was mocking the way she walked as I passed her. I was walking funny because I have a brace-boot on my foot due to the fact that it got run over. FML
Today, I was at the gym trying to work up the courage to ask a girl out. She was on the treadmill, and I thought it would be cute to wave hello. Instead, she looked horrified and sped up, then slipped and fell off the treadmill. She thought I was mocking her, and now everyone at the gym hates me. FML
Today, I found out that a girl I had been seeing for two months used her having a brain tumor as an excuse to break up with me. She said she wouldn’t feel good for three months because of treatment, but then a month into "treatment", she posted a picture on a date with someone else. FML
Today, I was walking to my dorm room while it was snowing heavily. I saw a girl in a wheelchair trying to get up a slippery incline. Being a good person, I asked to help. I'm a pretty weak guy, and I couldn't push her up. She wheeled away crying because she thought she was fat. FML
Today, while on my daily jog, I passed a very attractive girl. While passing her, she yelled "hey cutie". Trying to look cool, I tried turning around without stopping. I then fell off the curb and severely sprained my ankle. She caught up to help but was laughing the entire time. FML
Today, I was walking down the street on my way to work, when an old lady's walking stick caught my leg and sent me crashing to the ground. She apologised for the accident and watched me stumble to my feet. I said not to worry. Just as I turned to leave, I could swear a smirk crept over her face. FML
Today, I was watching my 7 year-old daughter and her friend jump on our trampoline. I was really impressed by all the flips they were doing, and I told her, "Hey! I can't even do that." To that her friend replied, "Of course you can't. You're fat!" FML

I don't agree that OP was just being nice. Being nice would be not noticing and calling attention to the other person's problem. No one asked OP's opinion and it shouldn't have been given in that case. If the girl had said oh, I have such bad balance, that would be different.

OP was trying to make a connection over something they both did badly. It only backfired because tumour girl is a bitch. Calling attention to the problem would be laughing at her and telling everyone else. OP, you shoulda just sneered back and told her she was a bitch. Whether you push her over or not is your choice... I say do it...

Maybe the girl is sick of people noticing and just wants ro blend in.

Why nott just say hey, good run? OP was wrong to start off noticing a defect.

Did you not pay attention to what they said? He was trying to find common ground.. An ice breaker to start conversation. No one can tell she had a brain tumor. She needs to get used to ppl noticing it. She'll probably get it the rest of her life. Whether it not a bad day, or tired of ppl asking/noticing, she shouldn't of sneered and been a bitch. She needs to get over it, grow up and get on with her life.

Wow, I didn't know having a brain tumor made it okay to be rude to those who had no way of knowing. I wouldn't worry about it OP, just brush it off. If anything, you deserve an apology

Really? I had a brain tumor when I was little that messed up my balance so bad I couldn't walk in a straight line without falling or leaning on something, but as soon as it was removed everything went back to normal. Maybe she had a different kind of tumor?
