Today, on my way to school, I was shouted at by an obnoxious businessman for sitting down on the train when a "full fare paying passenger" was standing. I would normally have given him the seat straight away, except I have a broken leg. I showed him my leg and crutches. He still made me get up. FML

Today, I got on the subway with a broken leg. A kind woman stood up and offered me her seat. Before I could sit down, a guy shoved past me and took it for himself. The woman and I pointed out my cast and crutches, and asked him to give up the seat. He responded by flipping us off. FML
Today, while sitting in a handicapped seat on the bus, an old man angrily approached me and chewed me out in front of everyone for not leaving the seat empty for "those who actually need it." Then he stormed off the bus, stepping heavily on my broken foot. FML
Today, I had to run for the train, but because of my bad foot and limping they held the train, much to people's displeasure. No one let me sit down, so for the 20 minute journey, I stood. With a bad foot. FML
Today, I rushed onto the metro to get to work. I found there were no seats left and asked a perfectly healthy guy to let me sit in the handicap spot. He refused to because "being tired" was a handicap characteristic. I have one leg. FML
Today, a man slapped me in the face with his newspaper because I didn't get out of his way fast enough at the train station. I guess he didn't notice I was on crutches. FML
Today, I was sitting on the bus and as I'm quite short my legs were dangling. Some guy, who wasn't looking where he was going, tripped over my foot and went flying. He and everyone else on the bus glared at me like it was deliberate. The man next to me even changed seats in disgust. FML
Today, I got on a train and spotted a free seat. I rushed over, sat down and sighed with relief, only to realize people were looking at me. That’s when I saw the “Reserved for the elderly or disabled” sign…and the man with a cane standing in front of me. I immediately offered him the seat, but he just shook his head and said, “You’re gonna need it after this shaming.” FML
Today, a businessman in his forties tackled me to the ground in an attempt to take my seat on a crowded train. When that didn't work, he called me a fat bitch and gave me the finger. The seat was given up for me because I'm seven months pregnant. FML
Today, I offered my seat to an elderly lady on the subway. She quietly refused. Minutes later on a sharp turn, she almost fell down on two people. As I was clearly the youngest in the disability seating section, everyone on the train turned and glared at me. FML
Today, while on the train to university, I realized it was my stop and quickly stood up to get off. Or I would have, if my leg hadn't gone to sleep and caused me to fall, landing face first into the crotch of the old guy in front of me. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

You should have "accidentally" put the tip of one of your crutches on his foot when you got up and put your weight on it.

Aww, OP your name. I'm sorry that happened to you. Some people just have no heart. The sad reality, it's a cruel world we live in :(

Sadly, the human race is full of ass clowns like that. It would have been nice if someone had stood up for you, but that doesn't happen a lot anyway these days.

You should have refused. He has no authority to make you stand.

Instead of showing him the crutches you should of shoved it done place.

What is with assholes on public transport... first there's the FML about the pregnant woman who got tackled to the ground for a seat, and now this? And I'm sure there are more like that on here. What the actual ****? Maybe it's just me, but when I get on a crowded train/bus I don't demand that somebody stands up so I can sit, even if I'm tired and been on my feet for ages. It's just plain rude and as it's been stated before, it's more like first come first served. UNLESS someone has a visible disability or is heavily pregnant or a pensioner, they have no right to make you give up your seat.

Someone tackled a pregnant lady? Do they not know what damage they could do? The sheer selfish, stupidity that would be needed for such an action astounds me.

Yup, that's an FML I read a while ago on here. If you use the search button you can probably find it. But isn't that just disgusting, though? Some people are selfish pricks, end of story.
