Today, I drove my dad to Walmart to do some shopping. His leg is still in a cast after an accident, so I helped him to the last mobility scooter. A guy whose only disability was clearly Fat-Fuck Syndrome then yelled at us, claiming he needed it more and that my dad was a faker. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I was at Walmart. A guy in a mobility scooter bumped into me, then told me to "get the fuck out of the way." When I told him to watch his mouth, he got up and shoved me into a shelf. Just a few minutes prior, he'd yelled that he was paralyzed from the waist down. FML
Today, my lazy, obese mother took the last motor cart at the grocery store. My leg is in a cast. She told me to "use the shopping cart to help with the limp" as she rolled away. FML
Today, I had to pick up my dad because he was too drunk to drive home. Drive his wheelchair home, that is. FML
Today, I had to explain to a lady at Walmart that my mom, who is rather big-boned, actually suffers from fibromyalgia and arthritis, which is why she has to use motor carts. She didn't believe us, and called my mom "selfish". This is a common occurrence. FML
Today, while shopping, an old man came up to me and told me I should be ashamed for walking around fake limping, and that it's horrible to mock people who actually limp from serious injuries. I wasn't faking, I was born without my right leg and I was getting used to my new prosthetic one. FML
Today, I told a guy he should be ashamed of himself for parking in a handicapped space. He hit me with his prosthetic leg. FML
Today, I helped my dad push our broken-down truck from the driveway onto the tire ramp. Truck didn't make it; neither did my leg. FML
Today, my dad picked me up from school, something he'll be doing while my broken leg heals. He thought it'd be hilarious to arrive early and ask the staff where his "crippled" son was, loudly saying I'd broken my leg in a "masturbation-related accident". FML
Today, after parking in the handicapped spot of a lot with my placard, an older couple with their 7-year-old grandchild came up and yelled at me for being a lying asshole and taking the parking spot. When I showed them my prosthetic leg, the kid started crying and guess who got yelled at again. FML
Today, I went to Target with my dad, and he told me to get in the shopping cart. I thought he was being cool and wanted to push me around. He snorted and said he was thinking about crashing me into a car and suing the driver. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

How could your dad? He clearly went through the trouble of getting a cast so that he could ride the mobility scooters as an excuse to not walk due to laziness. Shame on him.

Ugh this makes me so mad! Those scooters aren't for fat asses like him! There for people who have an actual need for them! That man has no excuse! All he has to do is make a change in his life!

This created an awesome, hilarious picture in my mind!

Ugh, this shit. I'm a 25 year old girl, but I am confined to a wheelchair. A few months ago I wasn't in the chair full time yet but I did need a cane to get around short distances & when I went to Wal-Mart, I had to use one of those terrifying mobility scooters. You wouldn't believe the shit I took from a few different people because of it. I also got shit back then for parking in a handicap space, even when I was using my cane. People are generally shitty. I still always expect to take crap from assholes for being in a wheelchair, nothing would surprise me any more.

It's so true, it amazes me how judgemental people are about those scooters and a handicap space! It's like people don't understand the concept of an unseen or invisible illness. There are so many diseases and conditions in the world that make a person look completely normal or fine on the outside but could be wreaking havoc on the inside or on how a person feels. I have a stomach problem and chronic pain and I often get looks from people when they see me out like how can she really be that sick that she can't work when she's out at a store or something. People seem to forget that they're seeing me on my best day and have no idea how much effort it took to get up, get dressed, put makeup on and go out; they also have no idea that I'll come home and crash for hours after. It's crazy that people can be so judgmental still.

I understand on a little level. I had surgery a few years ago and my doctor specifically told me to take it easy, no stairs, running, etc. But at my college there's elevators and a lot of fucknuts in the drama program. So I got on the elevator to go up (omg yes!) one floor. With an elevator full of those fucknuts and they couldn't get over it. Bitching about how obviously lazy I was, how dare I slow down their day by two minutes. Now, I'm generally a nice person but I don't take shit. So when I pulled up my shirt and showed them the incision down my midsection and let them have it about why I couldn't take the two flights up, the elevator was silent. I also clicked every other floor button. :3 **** those judgmental douches. If they want to give dirty looks I have no problem making them feel like shit. Even when they don't deserve an explanation.

If it's not an inappropriate what condition drove you from partial mobility with a cane to needing a wheelchair full time? And yeah people always give each other shit, that's why this is the Age of Entitlement I suppose.

Fat-**** needs to start walking his fat ass around the block a few times.

So because he was overweight you assumed he wasn't disabled in some other way? Did it ever occur to you that maybe his disability whatever it may be could keep him from getting enough exercise? YDI for judging someone you don't know.

You have to consider the percentage if people that are overweight and assholes, a large majority of the time they just like Big Macs to much.

Well, him being a dick and thinking he's more entitled to the scooter than OP's dad isn't helping his case. Usually, people with a proper illness/disabilty would be more considerate towards others and wait their turn. Regardless if the fat guy had a proper aliment of some sort, I've absolutly no sympathy for him - There's no excuse for being a selfish asswipe...

Fat chance of that

I understand some people may have a disability causing them to be obese, but lets be honest, most fat ***** are just fond of food. And liking food isn't a disability, maybe an addiction, maybe Even when I was obese I would never consider yeling at someone in a cast.

It's always been a secret desire of mine to be in your situation, OP. I'd enjoy verbally kicking that guy's ass. Seriously, I'm a little overweight, but I'd never let myself get to the point where I'd take mobility scooters everywhere.

I used to friends with a girl who was kind of big and I remember one time when we were 17/18 we were hanging out and we seen an obese elderly woman on one of those scooters downtown and I remember the friend saying "I can't wait until I'm older when I can get one of those", I thought she was joking and started laughing and asked why, and turns out she was being dead serious and that she finds walking around an effort in itself - And there was absolutely not a thing wrong with her...I was kinda disturbed at the time that someone would even say that and I felt mad too because people with proper reasons really need those machines to get around...

The way you worded this is absolutely perfect
