Today, I got in an elevator at a hotel. Just as the door was closing, somebody banged into the door and stuck their hand through. I yelled, "What, are you retarded?!" The doors then opened to reveal a mentally handicapped boy with his parents standing behind him. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I was taking the elevator down with a group of people. It stopped on the 2nd floor and I said "What asshole can't take the steps from the 2nd floor?" Then a kid in a wheelchair got on. FML
Today, I attempted to be nice and hold a door open for a person in a wheelchair. He hit the button to open another door. While I pointed out that I would hold the door for him, I realized that the door I was holding open for him led down some stairs. FML
Today, I saw a woman struggling to hold the elevator. Trying to be helpful, I jumped forward and pressed the “close doors” button, thinking it was “open doors.” The doors shut right in her face. I had to awkwardly ride up ten floors in silence with three witnesses. FML
Today, I got stuck in an elevator. The help-line told me, "Don't touch the door. We'll be there soon". Two hours later, I had a headache, my legs were stiff, and my date must've thought I stood her up. The tech finally arrived, pries the door open, then rudely asked, "Why didn't you do that yourself?" FML
Today, I was in an elevator with my family and a family I didn't know. I was about to press the number when somebody came up behind me. I thought it was my brother trying to press the number first, so I aggressivly pushed him out of the way. Turns out it was the other family's ten year old son. FML
Today, as I got into an elevator, I spotted a little old lady hobbling desperately to get on. I frantically tapped on the 'door open' button but the doors closed. I got dirty looks from the people in the lift, only then did I realise I had frantically tapped the 'door close' button instead. FML
Today, I was using the bathroom in a department store. When I was finished, I couldn't get the stall door open. I'm claustrophobic and I freaked out and started shouting for help. A 6 year-old boy got the door open for me. It turns out I was pushing when I should have been pulling. FML
Today, I was in a store using the only bathroom there. After I was done, I realized I couldn't open the door. Panicked it locked me in, I banged on the door, and screamed for help. The security and a whole group of people gathered, only to find that I was pulling the door instead of pushing it. FML
Today, as I was using the public restroom in the mall, someone decided to slam the stall door next to mine. This resulted in my stall door opening while I was still on the toilet. The door was too far for me to reach. FML
Today, I got stuck in a small elevator. It started to violently judder up and down after I pressed the 'Help' buzzer. The man on the intercom wouldn't stop laughing at how my voice was jumpy from the juddering movements before he called for help. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

It's not big deal. Don't feel bad after all he was retarded. besides had he been hurt by doing that his parents probably would have used it as an excuse to sure and make a big deal about it. When in reality, he got hurt because he did something stupid.

There's times when we all need to use our inside voices. Though, I believe that it pretty 'retarded' to force your hand into the doors of a closing elevator, anything could happen.. But then why should I care; not my hand.

I wouldn't stress about it. Being PC is wayyy over rated and was formed by a group of people that don't fit into society, to make themselves feel better. If they wanted to call it mentally disabled, they should have called it that when they first named the disease!!!!

Even though sticking your hand through elevator doors might not be a smart thing to do, it serves you right because speaking as a mother who has a son that has austism, you shouldn't use the word retarded anyway. I would like to call you a few names and believe me retarded isn't one of them!!

honestly, when people use the word retard/retarded, they don't mean it as an insult to mentally retarded people. it's used just like the word stupid is. i know mentally retarded people, but that doesn't stop me from using the word. it's nothing to get all worked up over.
