Today, I was going to work and got in the elevator. I was going through my bag for my phone and asked the man in the elevator to push the button for me. He gave me a look of death before I realized he had no arms. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I was in a big crowded elevator and had to struggle tried to press the button for my floor because no one close to the buttons bothered to ask me which floor I was going to. Instead, I hit the emergency stop button. The elevator stopped between floors for 20 minutes. Everyone stared at me like I was a movie villain. FML
Today, I worked up my courage and took an elevator for the first time in my life. Unfortunately, it was also my first time getting trapped for several hours in an elevator. FML
Today, I was late for work and sprinted to catch the elevator. I made it just in time, only to realize I was in the elevator alone and had just dramatically dived into it for no reason. FML
Today, at work, I’ll admit that I wasn’t in a good mood. I work in fast food, and I went to hand this guy his food without looking and he didn’t grab it. I got frustrated so I FINALLY looked. With an equally as upset look, I noticed the guy didn’t have arms, so I’d just been shoving food in his face. 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, at work I got in an elevator to go upstairs. It wasn't until the doors opened minutes later and people stepped in that I realized I had zoned out and forgot to press the button for the floor I needed. I then promptly exited the elevator and waited for the next elevator to go up in. 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, 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, we have elevators at my work, but you need to go to HR to get a key. I was denied one after I almost died in a car accident because I didn’t look “hurt enough.” FML
Today, a shop I do work for sent a driver to pick up a large item. The driver was helping me load it, but was struggling and holding it awkward like he didn't know how to hold something heavy. Angrily I yelled at him to grab it like me with both his hands gripping the bottom. Turns out he was missing a hand. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Then how did he get in and choose his floor in the first place? I'm calling shenanigans.

You didn't notice he had no arms, but he should have noticed that you didn't notice since you were digging around in your bag. Not really anybody's fault here.. :p awkwardly funny. Hope you didn't laugh :D

Looking at her picture, she is DEFINITELY a girl.
Intoxicunt 6
Whoops! My bad. I didn't click on it to see her profile. Sorry. You're the girl whose picture looks like his.

I think she meant the different colors. Plexico's picture looks like that, right? You can't really tell which gender someone is on the comment section based on a tiny picture.

Especially if manboobage is involved.

Plexico has manboobs? That's what I got out of the comment. :)

I'm guessing.... he walked in with his feet.

he could have pushed it with his feet, but was mad because a woman with arms asked him to push the button because she had to find her phone. yes she made a mistake but apologise and move on. push the button and then look for her phone, kinda bitchy and self absorbed

this FML is fake!!! i read it somewhere else before. and "look of death" i wonder where you got this phrase from?
Twinklestar 0
I probably would've given you a look like that too regardless of my fully functioning arms. You didn't even look at him and asked him to do something that would hardly have interrupted your bag rummaging for more than 2 seconds.

Isn't it sadly ironic that ya always hear how handicapped, ethnics, aliens all want to be 'treated like everyone else'. But when that happens, the sh!t hits the fan...

"A look of death" anyone else notice all the catch-phrase trends on the FMLs? "Look of death" "hot and heavy"... Thats how you know they are fake.

Someone JUST posted this last week. FMYLife moderators SUCK! Grow a brain and come up with something original. This site should be called JokeRecycler.com.

It's like the professor who asked, "Need a hand?" when he had no arms, but not as awesome.

If I were the armless guy, I would've been happy that the first thing someone noticed about me wasn't that I'm armless for once.

Nice point of view. ;D I agrees.
