Today, while playing badminton at school, I got an opponent who is mentally handicapped. Since I'm terrible at the game, I guess the teacher assumed it would be a good match. I won the match, my first victory ever. My teacher accused me of cheating to humiliate him. FML

Today, I was babysitting, and we were playing a game. Because he was little, I let him win all the games. He then turned to me and said, "You're really bad at this." I got very defensive and won the next game, and was actually proud that I beat a 3-year-old. FML
Today, my boss's oldest son challenged me to a chess game. I've been practicing a lot, so I decided to humor him. He was a challenging opponent; not because he was skilled, however, but because he was trying to cheat almost constantly. I felt exasperated, rather than accomplished, when I beat him. FML
Today, a friend wanted to show me a game he bragged he was the best at. I beat his score on the first try, and now I have a black eye to prove it. FML
Today, I got my girlfriend to play Smash Bros Brawl with me. As it was her first time, I set up handicaps to give her at least a shot at winning. She won, quite handily. A little irritated at this, I took off the handicaps and tried again. She beat me even faster. FML
Today, after winning the first set for school tennis championship, the losing side refused to shake hands with my team. We ended up getting disqualified from the championship by the referee for bad conduct, even though it wasn't our fault. We told the referee what happened, and he said, "Suck it up." FML
Today, I was playing Badminton in P.E, and I was paired with a particularly pretty girl, who for some reason kept asking stupid questions that we both knew the answers to. I've only now just realized that she was trying to initiate conversation with me. This is why I have no friends. FML
Today, I was laughing at a girl who really sucks at badminton. Turns out she has anger issues, and a really good aim when she's mad. I've never been hit so hard in the crotch before. FML
Today, I went to play pool with a couple of friends. I'm not very good at this game. My friend beat me fair and square. Twice. He's blind. FML
Today, my mom stopped playing badminton with me because she claimed I was too aggressive. Apparently winning, playing by the rules, and smashing is considered aggressive. FML
Today, I was playing a math game with a 4th grade boy (I'm a college graduate). I cheated during the entire game, and still lost 7 of the 9 rounds we played. FML

Sounds like that teacher needs to reevaluate his/her own assumptions, in both ways.

It IS a real sport that plays in competitions. They said they were at school and said "teacher" so im going to assume its a gym class, so they had to play.

Badminton is similar to tennis, but instead of a ball they use a thing called a "birdie" or "shuttlecock" depending on how young you are when you learn the term. It's a small ball with plastic nettingish thing in a cone attached to the ball

I know. I'm handicapped, and people just don't get the fact I'm still capable.

Based on my experience with the mentally handicapped, I can pretty confidently say that because the ones I've known wouldn't think twice about losing, or even know they lost, you probably didn't hurt your peer's feelings. And if your peer did get upset about losing, too bad. That's life, and unless you were targeting them, you have nothing to feel bad about.

It's good that you played the game like you should instead of babying your opponent because of their disability and losing on purpose. Hopefully your opponent appreciates it. I absolutely despise it when people treat handicapped (or anyone for stupid reasons) like a baby. I also find it very degrading when someone loses any match on purpose. My mother would always shove my diagnosis in my face and act like it was a reason to not try hard even though I told her to stop,and it just caused me to doubt myself and my abilities and think I couldn't even do things I did well until now,as weird as it sounds.

In highschool i had a friend with a prostetic arm, which i kept forgetting because it looked so real :P One time she fell, and i helped her back up. In the process i pulled off her prostetic arm and nearly shit myself cause her arm came off :D Anyways, don't let anything stop you, you see so many stories about people with mental and physical disabilities doing whatever they want, push through and you can do anything ^^

It can be really frustrating for me because I'm not exactly "normal" but it's not that obvious. I have trouble understanding what other people are telling me and I get confused easily. I don't always know how to behave or to communicate properly. I don't want to be "babied" but I wish people understood that I need extra help and guidance instead of treating me like I'm just being difficult.

that might've been the best, depends on how he was mentally handicapped
