Today, my cousin and I were out on the boardwalk. I walked to the railing next to a man and said, "Great view isn't it?" Then I found out that the man was blind and had a seeing eye dog. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I tossed half a sausage to a dog sitting beside a park bench. It wasn't until he lunged for it and dragged the man beside him off of the bench that I realized it was a seeing eye dog. FML
Today, my friend and I were in a hallway talking while a man kept walking by and turning around. I then asked him "WHAT are you LOOKING for!". It was a blind man. FML
Today, as a condominium security guard, I had to enter an old lady's apartment to supervise the mandatory maintenance taking place inside. I commented on the lakeside view from her window and mentioned, "This is a pretty nice view up here isn't it?" It turns out that she's blind. FML
Today, I went to console my cousin because I'd heard that her dog had passed away. As I opened the door, the first thing I saw was her extremely old and feeble (but still very much alive) dog. Turns out my friend was talking about HIS cousin, and I simply misheard. Trying to explain that to her was mighty awkward. FML
Today, I was out walking my dog. A cute woman said, "Nice dog!" Without thinking, I replied, "You too!" FML
Today, I was walking my dog. A cute guy stopped me and said, "Wow, you are gorgeous!" I said thanks. He looked at me like I was nuts and said, "Not you, your dog." FML
Today, my dad was teasing me, saying a guy would have to be blind to go on a date with me. I then introduced him to my new, visually impaired boyfriend. He hasn't stopped laughing. FML
Today, I went on a blind date. Sadly, I wasn't blind enough. FML
Today, I took the subway. The man sitting across from me would not stop staring at my breasts, so when the train came to my stop, I said, "Nothing to see now, asshole." Then I noticed his white walking stick as he got up to get off. He was blind. FML
Today, I found out that the blind man I've been helping for months at the grocery store by carrying his shopping around and stuff was actually faking his blindness. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

that is kinda funny but you could have just played it off like there was someone else you were talking to, it's not like he would know

Hey, maybe he was deaf too. Or... maybe it was just some guy walking his dog while wearing sunglasses and you just assumed he was blind. Don't worry about it... he doesn't know where you live or even what you look like.

It's douche, not doosh. At least you spelled it phonetically. Better than the time I saw someone spell it dush. Also, happened. That one is just sad. I've seen people use an apostrophe improperly when pluralizing a word, but not when turning one past tense. However, your message is good. It could happen to anyone under the right circumstances, and it's not THAT big of a deal as long OP explains he/she didn't realize. Laugh it of OP! Just not in front of the blind man, or he'll think you said it to be an ass...

While he's yelling at you for being ignorant just quietly walk away and leave him yelling at the sea.

FYL - You didn't know he was blind, the dog might not have been wearing anything to show he was a guide dog.

seems like people are stupid. i could have made the same mistake. no one thinks hey he might be blind so I'll make sure. if he has a dog my first thought is he has a dog. and if she was looking out to the water she was not looking at the guy. so people relax.

It's not much of an FML. Sure, you feel awkward, but trust me, they don't mind. My girlfriend's nearly totally blind and she's fine with it. I call FYL because you must've felt really awkward. But it's still an easy mistake to make :)

Why don't you just keep your mouth shut. You're an idiot and strangers don't want to talk meaningless shit with you anyway.
