Today, I was in IKEA, furniture shopping with my dad. He was looking at one couch that was particularly small. I said "dad that couch is for like a midget." I look over to see a midget looking at me, sitting on the same couch in a different color. He definitely heard me. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, my boyfriend and I went to a furniture store. We split up for a bit, and after a while I went to find him. A salesman noticed I seemed to be looking around for him and said, "Oh, your son is upstairs." We're the same age. FML
Today, I was at IKEA with my parents. I walked away from them and later I heard the speaker of the store call my name asking me to come to the playground because my mom and dad were worried. I'm 18. FML
Today, I was in the supermarket when I saw a little boy trying to reach for something on the top shelf. I went over to him and asked if his mom knew where he was. The boy turned around. He was actually a very angry midget. FML
Today, I went to Ikea with my family. I was wearing a yellow polo that vaguely looked like the ones the Ikea employees were wearing. Two dozen people came up to me, complaining that I was staring at furniture instead of helping customers. FML
Today, I was eating at a restaurant in town, when a small boy started looking at me. I simply smiled and went back to eating, only to hear out of the corner of my ear, "Daddy, why does that kid's face look like that"? He said it so loud, the three tables next to us turned and looked. FML
Today, I took my dad out shopping. I managed to pull into a really cramped parking spot and said, "Man, that was a tight squeeze." My dad then looked me in the eyes and said, "So was your mom." FML
Today, I was with my dad at the supermarket and this guy was checking me out. My dad yells at him with a grin, "I know! I make beautiful babies!" FML
Today, I got junk punched by a midget in Sears for giving him "a funny look." I was trying to read the price of the fridge he was standing in front of. FML
Today, my boyfriend and I were furniture shopping. They had miniature versions built of some of the desks. He commented how they were "cute for little kids" to use. They were 6 inches tall. I had to explain to him that they were only models, not real desks. I'm dating Zoolander. FML
Today, I brought home a ukulele I had just bought. Excited, I showed my dad. He then looked at me, smirked, and said "Just like everything else you have, it's a bit smaller than normal." FML

lmao... I'm sure the midget didn't care that much. If that's the worst thing he has to encounter, life is pretty good to be perfectly honest. It's got to be hard being different in this world. You didn't mean anything. You were making a statement that just coincidentally was in front of the wrong person.

Oh, look! Just another FML where someone makes a "midget" comment and there just happens to actually be a midget in the room. Funny, funny, funny.

HEY! A LITTLE PERSON SITTING THERE PROVES YOUR POINT. YOU SHOULD NEVER CALL A LITTLE PERSON "A MIDGET" BUT SAYING "THIS COUCH IS FOR A LITTLE PERSON" ISN'T GOOD ENGLISH. YOUR DAD WOULD HAVE HEARD "YOU ARE TOO FAT FOR SUCH A SMALL COUCH". SO, you did the right thing. You said midget because it conveyed the meaning you intended. HOWEVER, IN YOUR FML YOU THEN REFERRED TO A LITTLE PERSON AS "A MIDGET" INSTEAD OF ONLY REPEATING WHAT YOU SAID EARLIER AND THEN SAYING "There was a little person sitting right there..." SO, YOU MESSED UP IN YOUR FML, BUT IN REAL LIFE YOU DID EXACTLY THE RIGHT THING, INCLUDING BEING EMBARRASSED FOR CALLING THEM "A MIDGET".

obviously IT WAS for a midget if a midget was sitting on it! that's hilarious. And midgets need to get over themselves trying to jump on the politically correct banwagon. THEY ARE MIDGETS! so that's what they're gonna be called. Get over it. There's nothing wrong with that word! Its not like someone called them n*ggers or f*ggots. #31 You are doing TOO much typing all that. further more "wasn't GOOD English" isnt "good" English either! FYL lmao

This is barely an FML. The midget proved your point. Maybe he was a little offended but I'm sure he'll get over it.
