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

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 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?"

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

HELP!

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

Today, I went to a bar which has two stories. I was on the top floor and then went downstairs. As I was going down, I recognised a boy in a wheelchair and his friends trying to get him up. I helped and took the wheelchair. One of his friends decided it would be a good moment to steal my wallet. FML

It's so frustrating when people get worked up over the word retard/retarded, it lacks logic. The reason people use it as a derogatory term is because a retard is someone who is in some way lacks mental capacity and is therefore less intelligent, or in other words stupid. By calling someone a retard you imply they lack mental capacity, but more so than by simply calling them stupid. Think of it as "idiot +" when used as an insult. Most people aren't extremely offended when the word idiot is used as an insult, even though at one point it was the correct way to describe a retarded person (a mentally disabled person for the weak stomach). Honestly, no matter if you say retarded or mentally handicapped, it still can be used as an insult because you are still describing a person who is less intelligent (sorry for the long post)

Yes, I have had people call me that and it doesn't bother me. My point was that retarded has become just another word to call someone stupid, abet a stronger one. Not saying it's fine to blatantly insult someone like that, or that retarded are evil. P.S: Good guess on me being a bastard!

What, did the parents like push the kid into the elevator? Or if he was in a wheelchair they ran and rolled him into it so his hand was between the doors? I could see that happening and it wouldn't be the smartest thing to do, now would it?

well.....technically, the OP IS correct, though that would've been an extremely awkward situation in anyone's case.
