Today, I was in the supermarket and I see this little boy trying to reach for something on the top shelf. I go over to him and ask if his mom knows where he is. The boy turns around. He was actually a very angry midget. FML

Today, my friends and I go to a bar and get wasted. I walk around and see a kid. I start yelling, "There's a child in this bar! There's a CHILD in this BAR!" She turns around. She was a midget. FML

Today, I was in a store when a child looked at me and said to his mother "look at that tall man!" His mother replied "he's an evil giant isn't he, darling?" I then mimed being an evil giant to make the kid laugh. His mother slapped me. FML

Lesson learned

Today, my kid was lying on the floor in Morrisons screaming, no matter what I tried to do, until another mother came, picked him up, and dumped him in the trolley seat. She then looked me up and down and said, “Girl, he’s 4 years-old and 3 feet tall, grow some fucking backbone.” She was so right too. FML

Today, at my job working retail, I had just finished cleaning and straightening a whole aisle. This kid watched me do the whole thing. When I was done, he stuck his arm out, and ran it down the whole shelf, knocking everything off it. His mother just grabbed his hand and walked away. FML

Today, while working at my local supermarket, I found a boy lost and wandering about, so I took him to the front desk. My reward from his mother was a slap around the face and harsh words for supposedly having kidnapped him. FML

Call CPS, quick

Today, I saw a kid throwing a tantrum in a supermarket. Thinking it was a matter of lack of discipline, I waited for the kid’s mother to come out of the bathroom to tell her how naughty her son was being. I then got to watch her beat her son to the point of unconsciousness. FML

Today, I was cashier at work. The line came to a stop, but there was still people there. I kept saying next, but no one moved. I finally looked over the counter where there was a lady who had been standing there the whole time. She was a midget. FML

Independance day

Today, a crying kid was brought to my attention by a customer. He was so upset from losing his mom that he couldn't say his or his mom's name. I took him around the store asking him to point out his mom. Once we'd found her she told me, "I was hiding from my kid to test his independence." FML

Today, I was at the mall and someone peeked their head under the door of my dressing room while I was half dressed. Not knowing who it was, I kicked him in the face just out of instinct. Its was a 4 year old kid looking for his mother. FML

I don't see how you could make this mistake. People who suffer from dwarfism tend to have a very characteristic body shape that looks nothing like a child...

You could've just helped him get what he was reaching for instead

Man, that sucks. Okay, so you can sort of tell even from behind if you look close enough--but who expects to see a midget wandering around? Your brain goes immediately to "kid." So it's not really your fault--if he was pissed, he needs to develop a thicker skin. I'm not a midget, but I am very short (4'9") and I try not to get mad at the people who make those kinds of mistakes, but just at the situation that made the mistake possible.

Wow I feel really bad for you, but don't kids look different from dwarves, even from the back?

#2- good idea, but then the dwarf might've yelled at her for trying to help him/her

@nina Dwarfism and being a midget are two different things. Dwarfs have some body parts that's are in normal proportions. Midgets are all small =]

Don't treat kids that way in the first place, ******* *****. They understand you're feeling of dominance, they are understanding creatures as well. Treat them as an individual. You ******* deserve that shit, little ****.

Oh yea! THIS is why people need to stop doing things like that! Just say, excuse me, may I be of assistance? I know it's tec. not ur fault but people HAVE to b more careful about this! Think about how the 'midget' feels...and btw, was he a midget or a dwarf? Cause those are 2 separate things..
