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.

This is clearly a lie. An armless man would not be able to go anywhere without a nurse or assistant to perform tasks such as pressing an elevator button. He obviously couldn't have DRIVEN to work. If, as the OP says, the man was the only person on the elevator ("the man on the elevator" implies that this was the only man on the elevator, and the usage indicates that he was the only person on the elevator), how did he press his own button? There is absolutely no reason for an armless man to be in a workplace OR an elevator. I am so sick of these stupid lying pricks. You think that because you came up with a funny circumstance, it just HAS to be on this site. People like you cast doubt on the real FMLs, making them MUCH less funny. If you have to relate this idea to somebody, go up to a friend and say "hey, wouldn't this be funny?" Don't put it on a site where real people are confessing the utter crapiness of their lives.

First of all, I have a friend who's armless. He can do everything anyone else can do, he just uses his foot for it. He even holds a fork and eats with his foot! Secondly, they make specialized cars for people with this type of disability. My armless friend controls his car by biting a tube-like thing on the steering column. It sounds wacky, but it exists. Why can't an armless person work? So, all in all, you're pretty ignorant for assuming that a disability completely inhibits a person's ability to function in society "without a nurse or assistant."

Maybe he HASN'T gotten used to it yet. Who knows when he became armless, whether it was from birth or from one month ago.

yeah thats pretty bad if it isnt fake. i've met two armless people before, both seemed pretty independant & they've pretty much proved the can do challenging, everyday things without arms. so i doubt pushing a button wasn't the most difficult shit they've ever come across
