Today, I was on the elevator going up to a meeting, and the elevator was getting more and more crowded as we went up. After about ten people got on, they all agreed that I should get off the elevator because they thought me being on was exceeding the weight limit. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my co-workers agreed that I was the one causing the elevator to be over its weight limit. When I protested, saying that I only weigh around 150 pounds, one asked me if that included the weight of my wheelchair. They made me get out. FML
Today, I got on an elevator with a woman and her child. I was the first one on. When she stepped on, the capacity alarm went off. As she left she told her daughter that's why fat people shouldn't be allowed in public. I'm 145 lbs. She was twice my size. I got called fat by a hippopotamus. FML
Today, I got stuck in an elevator for well over an hour while riding it up to my weight and fitness class. Very funny, universe. FML
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 was taking the elevator down with a group of people. It stopped on the 2nd floor and I said "What asshole can't take the steps from the 2nd floor?" Then a kid in a wheelchair got on. 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 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, while in the elevator with the girl from my office that I've been crushing on, but never spoken to, I said "aren't elevators awkward?" After a long silence, she got off three floors before our office. FML
Today, I sat on an elevator for 10 minutes thinking I was stuck. After waiting awhile I looked at the screen to see what floor I was stuck on, only to realize I hadn't pressed a button so I had just stayed on the ground floor. 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

This sounds fake to me too, particularly as I saw almost the identical same thing happen on an episode of Ugly Betty recently.

Is not that easy loosing weight..okay eating HEALTHY and moving around does help..but is not that easy. People are so ******* ignorant... saying fat people should die..not mother ******* you should die for being so ******* mean. Being fat can not be easy...and all you people are doing is making it harder for them.

I am not going to respond by calling you a jerk, as I doubt that would do anyone any amount of good. Instead, I'm going to simply ask what good hating a group of people based on something like body size does you? Does it help you in anyway? Does it advance your school work or career? Has it earned you any advantages in life? What is it that has made it so profitable for you to hate people that you can't even give someone a moment's empathy? If you have never dieted a day in your life, chances are you were never overweight. So you have no idea what it is like, regardless of what you may believe. Having poor genes because your mother smokes (which doesn't even make sense. That's a behavior, not genetic) and having genes that predisposition you to be overweight are two entirely different things. Also, once you gain weight - say during childhood, a period in which most of us are not conscious enough about our bodies and the way food works to make a concentrated effort to stay fit which is perfectly acceptable since when we are young staying with in a certain range of "attractive" should not be our prerogative - it's more difficult to lose. Good for you if you have always stayed in shape! It is not the case for everyone, however. Also, scientifically speaking, exercise is not the best way to lose weight. It is important, however, as it is the best way to stay healthy. Losing weight is something like 80% diet and 20% exercise. Seriously, I don't care what weight the OP was, I still see what happened to him as being rude and hurtful. First, if people were that concerned about the weight limit of the elevator, they should not have boarded in the first place. Second, those elevators are meant to be tough and the crowd was obviously sort of deluded to believe that one man would have made the difference between a cable snapping. Jesus, OP, I'm sorry you have to put up with rudeness hidden as "public concern" and I'm sorry you have to put up with hateful comments from high schools under the guise of "good advice".
