Today, I toured an art museum. Our tour guide had an obvious lisp, so I tried my best not to laugh. When she asked me a question about a sculpture, I accidentally replied, "Yeth ma'am." She ended the tour right there. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was in a tour group going through a cave and our guide stopped, turned off the lights, and told us to be quiet so we could feel absolute silence. I farted. FML
Today, at work, I was helping someone who really sounded like she had a Boston accent. So, I asked her where she was from. She has never been out of state. Turns out she has a speech impediment. FML
Today, while giving a brief presentation at work, I blanked out on what I was going to say. I tried to make a joke and tell them I'd had a brain fart, but all I managed to say was, "I farted." Well, at least they all laughed. FML
Today, I accidentally said, "Yes, Sir." to my female teacher. I then apologized by saying, "Sorry, Sir." FML
Today, I was giving a presentation to my college class. I've had a natural stutter my whole life, so I stuttered through the whole thing. My professor tried to hold in her laughter for 15 minutes. FML
Today, I took my very talkative toddler to a grocery store. As we passed a woman in an aisle, my kid pointed and said loudly, "Mummy, why does that lady have such a funny face?" I had to awkwardly apologize while my face went beet red. FML
Today, while thinking about something cringe I did, I accidentally said, "Oh fuck!" aloud during someone's speech. The room besides me and the speaker was otherwise quiet. FML
Today, I accidentally said, "Hell yes!" in front of a potential employer and a group of kids before an interview at a daycare center. FML
Today, I got slapped by a date because she thought I was making fun of her speech impediment. I wasn't making fun, I just have the same speech impediment. FML
Today, while volunteering at a local museum, I politely told an elderly gentleman to have a nice day. He responded by yelling "NO" and storming off. Everyone looked at me like I was some sort of monster. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Well, that's what happens when you laugh at people with problems. Are you 10?

And the FML here is that you didn't get to go on the museum tour? You sound like a 6-year-old who didn't get dessert because you misbehaved. Honestly. How is lisping even that amusing in the first place? And even if it is, try to control yourself and be just a little more sensitive to people with problems. She face up to her minor disability every morning because she has the competencies to do the guided tours, and you ridicule her for it. **** HER life, not yours.

Those who think OP is an asshole.. You're idiots. It's not like he can control what he laughs at? Also he was trying not to, not laughing straight out to her face .

You all should stop being freaking mad at OP. Some people accidentally start talking like the person who's talking to them. he didn't mean to! God Damn!!!

that's what I said!!! I've done it before too. I just laugh when I realize I was talking likethe other person. I do that same when some speaks in Spanish, turns to me talks in English and then i reply in Spanish. I just laugh and explain that I was listening to them speak Spanish so then I started to. it's no biggy. people need to learn to laugh at things geez.. yeah there's a line you shouldn't cross but this really wasn't that bad

When I was a truck driver hauling produce from the fields to a dehydrator factory I wound up talking Spanglish. The illegal aliens and I laughed about it. What is said, not how it's said, is what is important.

92, 175 Yes, finally some people I can agree with! I can totally see myself accidentally picking up someone's lisp or accent just by listening to them talk. I already do so subconsciously with some mannerisms and such. For the most part I just do it once or twice, but occasionally I pick up on something that sticks with me.. Not that any are coming to me right now for an example, haha. 198- Well said. =]

Yes I know what you mean I usually end up speaking like others without realizing it and I sometimes speak in a different accent I've hear and only notice after it's weird.

Does Christian Bale has a lisp too? :p YDI. It was definitely a rude behavior but the tour guide should not have ended the tour because of one insensitive person. She should have been more professional..
