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

College Life
Packed lecture halls, a sketchy roommate and frat parties: welcome to college, the real thing.
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

A group run? Are you in the military? If so I don't know how she got in. But not your fault she probably is just tired of it affecting her life. Sorry to say you might try to tell her that you meant nothing by saying that. And see where it goes from there good luck op

Did she ask for your advice about her balance issues? No? Then perhaps keep your opinion to yourself. Not everyone enjoys having faults commented on by strangers, dickwad.

They were just trying to be nice, "dickwad". They were in a group of people and she had terrible balance, op was just trying to make her feel better and more comfortable. It's people like you that make the world suck. Someone is simply trying to be nice and you have to get "offended" over every little thing just because it doesn't mean your social standards. Grow up. When you see a kid getting bullied, do you just sit there and mind your business as well? Because they "didn't ask?" Moron.

Really? I'm what's wrong with the world? You need to get out more! Look, she should have handled her reply better, but offering up unsolicited advice can often be rude. And how does that relate to bullying? Good lord, you're the one who's all offended!

She didn't offer advice moron, she was just letting her know not to feel self conscious. And yes, you are what's wrong with the world. Sorry not everybody meets your social standards. But open up your mind for just like a second and you can see that, HEY! Maybe some people actually are trying to be kind and not insult you. Don't tell me I need to get out more babe, I've been out plenty. And how does it relate to bullying? Someone was trying to be nice and got put down for it. From how I see it, the girl who HAD a brain tumor was the rude one. Not the girl letting her know bad balance is okay. I want you to explain to me exactly why you feel the op deserved such treatment. I really do. I didn't realize how blind the world was.

Did her brain tumor affect her manners if she sneered at you for something you couldn't have possibly known?

This is a situation where she should just go and **** herself. I dislike people like her who expect everyone to know they have or had a condition at some point.

You couldn't have known that op. Don't beat yourself up. Although situations like these are very awkward.

Don't worry, OP, everybody has done things like that, she probably wasn't offended at all, you are a lot more worried than she!
