Today, I was boarding a plane and an elderly woman asked if I could put her carry on into the overhead bin. Eager to help, I energetically lifted her bag up, and smacked her in the face with it. FML

Today, I boarded a plane. A woman decided that she didn't like where she'd put her carry on luggage and pulled it out from over my head. The heavy luggage then fell right onto my face, the wheel smacking me in the mouth and busting my lip open. She just laughed and waltzed away without a word. FML
Today, I helped an elderly woman carry her suitcase down a flight of stairs. When I got to the bottom, a man tackled me to the ground thinking I was stealing the woman's luggage. As I lay in pain, he ran up the stairs to return the suitcase and the poor woman had to carry it down on her own. FML
Today, I was at the airport baggage collection when I saw an old man struggling to get his very old and heavy suitcase off the belt before giving up. I had already collected my bag, but wanting to be helpful, the old man watched me as I grabbed his handle, yanked and snapped it clean off. FML
Today, I was boarding a plane and a woman's bag started to fall. In the spur of the moment I thrust my arm up to catch it. I didn't catch the bag, but I did catch her boob. I had to sit next to her for the rest of the flight. FML
Today, I swung my arm with a product in my hand, and the product flew out of the packaging and hit an old lady on her head. FML
Today, I was grocery shopping, when an elderly lady walked up to me and tripped over her own feet. I caught her by the arm, at which point she shrieked at me for "groping" her. She ended up smirking as security threw me out of the store. FML
Today, at work, an elderly lady came up to the cash register with a flyer in her hand, and asked if we had a certain item. I told her we did not have any left, and we would be getting more next week and if she wanted, I could give her a rain check. She hit me in the face with her purse. FML
Today, I helped an elderly lady put a bookshelf in her car. She then thanked me by hitting me with her car as she drove out of the parking lot. FML
Today, I was at the airport when I saw a woman drop her bags and run to her husband. Thinking that someone might steal them, I picked up her bags and brought them over to her. She thanked me by slapping me, calling me a bitch and calling security. FML
Today, I saw an old man struggling with three bags, so I offered to carry them for him. He must not have heard me because when I bent down to take the bags, he thought I was stealing them and punched me in the face. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Not a big deal, really.

Wow. Okay, I know which video you're talking about. Half-way through it, it made me so sick to my stomach I had to stop watching, and I could not sleep for days.... But it's still really crappy to just shit on someone's culture like that. You might say you're kidding, but you most definitely made a generalization. Things like that happen in America as well. There was a incident in Queens, NY where a woman was stabbed and raped by a man. She screamed for help and people living in the building next to the scene turned on their lights and looked out their windows. The man left the woman, then later came back, and did the same thing. It wasn't until about half an hour after the second time that someone so much as called the cops. Kitty Genovese, the victim, died that night. "Because that's people in China"? Really? Besides, the reason that people don't do anything in instances like this can be explained better by the "bystander effect", a term in psychology, which means that in the presence of other people, any individual is less likely to help. Think of how many times you might have witnessed something happening and thought, "Someone else probably already called someone." Even something as simple as a bush caught on fire next to the freeway. Look up the "facts." What happened to that little girl in China was horrid. I hope karma catches up good to both the individuals who harmed a child. It still makes me nauseous to think about. But you shouldn't shit on people's culture like that, dude. And I'm not going to say "people like you" because generalizing would make me a hypocrite in this case. I don't know you, and I won't make assumptions about you. But I will say that such statements really don't help anyone. Don't assume that a group of shitty people represents an entire nation.

Almaba, nearly all the comments you have made have been thumbed down. Racist jokes are not funny either asshole.

A joke? I'm sorry. I'm just not sure how you can manage to find humor in an incident like the one you used as an example. But what the hell do I know. Maybe your joking abilities about such an event is admirable? I'm not one to normally be so opinionated, especially not on FMyLife. But, I don't think it's very nice to make generalizations about a culture and then try to say you were "joking" or that it's a "fact" that the people in those places do the terrible things you say. But I doubt this comment will make you change your mind, so maybe I'm the stupid one for wasting my energy saying all this....
