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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I saw a little boy wandering in the supermarket looking lost and distraught. I gently put my hand on his shoulder and said, “Hey buddy, where’s your mommy?” He screamed, “STRANGER DANGER!” and kicked me in the shin. His actual mom wandered over from the cheese section, gave me a dirty look, and walked off. 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
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, 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, I was at the grocery store, when a little boy looked up at me and asked if I was a prostitute. 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
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 grocery shopping, feeling good about myself, until when I was waiting in line at the checkout, a small kid in his mother's arms in front turned to look straight at me and said, "Ewwwww." 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

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...

Today, I was in the supermarket buying groceries, and proceed to reach for a can of soup on the top shelf, when this man walks up to me with concern in his eyes and asks me where my mom is, I'm 39, FML.

And now to clear of the difference between a midget (granted not appropriate term) and someone with dwarfism once and far all: midget [mij-it] –noun 1. (not in technical use) an extremely small person having NORMAL PHYSICAL PROPORTIONS. dwarf –noun 1. a person of abnormally small stature owing to a pathological condition, esp. one suffering from cretinism or some other disease that produces disproportion or deformation of features and limbs.

#45 did you never get lost in a big store as a kid? it's terrifying. Well depending on the age, but I remember getting lost once and being on the verge of tears because I didn't know where anyone/anything was or how I was going to find my family again... and I was only lost a minute. I mean granted I may have been a total wimp of a child but it's still legitimately scary being lost, so it's hardly rude to ask where the parents were. Besides there's also the possibility that the kid ran off from the parents and was grabbing stuff he wasn't supposed to/would get hurt by trying to reach and considering he was aiming for something on the top shelf it's not necessarily a bad assumption. And don't tell me this doesn't happen, I've seen it, children aren't always the smartest cookies in the jar, and yes it does potentially lead to them damaging themselves or the store.

It's really not that difficult to tell a dwarf from a child. Look more closely next time.
