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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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?

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

He still could have pushed it with his little arm nubs, the douchebag.

First, it was the word "proceeded" and now it's the phrase "look of death" wtf, that's not THAT common a phrase and I've seen it 3 times already!?

Wouldn't you notice if he had no arms. YDI for not realizing.

That's really funny. How'd the armless guy get on the elevator in the first place unless someone had to hit the button for him...could have returned the favor.

YDI for being to lazy to take the 1 second to push the button

i'm confused.. did he not push the button for the door to open, and for his own floor? o.o

#60 good point, this might have been fake OP might've made this thinking he/she would get a lot of YDI's but she didn't see it coming so...yeah.

i call fake. if you dont have arms, you dont get on elevators.

it is fake but you can still use the elevators!! you have feet, don't you?
Vaetrus 0
If they had no feet they would be more likely to use the elevator? I don't see how you not notice a lack of arms...

exactly its not likely that a man with no arms would put himself in a situation where he would have to use hands. also find it hard to believe that a double amputee wouldn't be provided with at least on prosthetic by the state for simple daily tasks like eating or opening doors.
