Today, I was sitting on a park bench with my very elderly grandfather while listening to music at a low volume. Suddenly, he turned to me and said very loudly, "I DIDN'T KNOW YOU HAD AIDS!" I received strange looks from everyone because he mistook my ear buds for a hearing aid. FML

Wild Nights Out
Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I was confiding in my grandma about how lonely I am and how everything in my life seems to be falling apart. While I was in mid-sentence, she rolled her eyes and made a show of removing her hearing aid. FML
Today, I was excited about showing everyone at work my new piercing. It's in an interesting place in my ear, and it's not that common. Before I had the chance to tell anyone about it, someone asked, "Are you wearing a hearing aid?" FML
Today, I was sitting on the train when some crazy man started talking to me. I ignored him, and he tapped on my shoulder. He started blabbing and I just pointed to my ears and mouthed, "I'm deaf." He stopped talking. A minute later my phone rang and I answered it without thinking. FML
Today, I was at a restaurant with my grandma. A young, ripped gentleman suddenly walked through the door and my grandma looked at him and shouted, "Look! Eye candy!" as loud as she could. He heard it and was extremely embarrassed. To make it worse, my grandma is a widow, so she might have actually meant it. FML
Today, I was sitting on a bench at the local park, eating a banana. A guy old enough to be my grandfather walked by, turned to look at me, then said "Young man, I wish I were that banana." He walked away, and I almost blacked out choking on it in shock. FML
Today, I was sent to the principal's office because I refused to take my earbuds out. Those "earbuds" are my hearing aids. FML
Today, as I was walking into CVS, two older men outside said to me "Young lady, please consider us on your way out." Thinking they were hitting on me, I rolled my eyes and said "Screw you." When I walked back outside, I realized they were asking for AIDS donations. FML
Today, while on the bus, I started a conversation with the person next to me. After a little back and forth, she finally said, "Do you think people will stop talking to me if I say I have AIDS?" FML
Today, my grandfather told me that I was ugly. When my mom found out, she said that, "Old people are allowed to tell the truth." FML
Today, I had my earbuds in while walking to work. I was so into a particular song that I didn't notice I was singing out loud despite people being around. A random jogger gave me a thumbs-up and said, "Shit voice, wrong lyrics." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

lmao thats hilarious!! almost choked laughing haha i wish i could of been there 2 c it... but ignore the masses they cant do ne thing but look at u n talk 2 make themselves feel better... i agree # 27 ur an idiot who clearly needs to go bak 2 the 4th grade {if ur an adult n ur on fmylife.com then u clearly need a hobby...i recommend something starting w/ an m n ending w/ asterbation ;D ...lololol} ...the grandpa was the one who said aids n the ppl around the O.P. thought that the grandpa meant aids as in wat u catch wen u do things w/ some1 who has slept w/ some1 (possibly 1 or more ppl) who slept w/ a dirty hoe (female or male) that has it.

your life is not ******. your life is normal and the situation wasn't even that bad. so a bunch of strangers think you have aids. here's a load off: nobody heard and nobody cares.

BTW #27 and #31, I think the OP was just showing how it sounded when grandpa asked the question loudly and in public. Of course he didn't think she had AIDS

If it's spelled "Hearing aides", then that must be an awfully widespread spelling error, as the National Institute of Health's website spells them as "aids" many times over many articles. May you all experience an FML for being such knee-jerk nazis. But I hit YDI. Why? You were hanging out with your Grandfather, yet you were wearing headphones and listening to music? That sort of rudeness demands a backlash of some sort. And if anyone can find a clip of the "You Have AIDS" song from Family Guy, I'd be much obliged.

It was clearly a joke and I was mocking the trolls who say stupid stuff like "YDI for being a woman!!!" But I suppose I can't expect people on fmylife to get my sophisticated humor. #45 What are you doing calling me out when you can't spell or form a clear sentence.

Shelbtron: 1. There is a difference between "**** my life" and "my life is ******". "**** my life" = bad things happen to you, your life sucks, etc. "My life is ******" = your life is ruined forever. This is not mylifeisfucked.com. 2. If you don't care, don't click on the damn fml. Don't tell someone else to stop bitching when you're doing the same.

Hearing aids, eh? Well that's what you get for having all that unprotected phone sex. I hope you're happy.
