Today, I was on a scavenger hunt. One of the things on the list was to ask a stranger to marry them. I saw an old lady in a wheelchair; I tried to make her day by asking her to marry me. She declined and attempted to run me over with her wheelchair. FML

College Life
Packed lecture halls, a sketchy roommate and frat parties: welcome to college, the real thing.
Today, a total stranger asked me to marry him while we were waiting for the bus. I turned him down. He then pulled a knife on me, grabbed my purse and ran. FML
Today, I was walking on the boardwalk with my mom when an old man came up and asked me to marry him. He promised he would buy me a Mercedes if I did. The man was homeless and delusional. My mom told me I should take the offer because it would be the best offer I could get. FML
Today, I was brutally run over by a man in a wheelchair. FML
Today, I was taking a walk, when an elderly lady in a motorized wheelchair slammed into me from behind. There was plenty of room to pass by, but noooo, trying to run me down like a dog, then giving me the finger and yelling "Watch where you're walking!" is so damn preferable. FML
Today, I was walking to my dorm room while it was snowing heavily. I saw a girl in a wheelchair trying to get up a slippery incline. Being a good person, I asked to help. I'm a pretty weak guy, and I couldn't push her up. She wheeled away crying because she thought she was fat. FML
Today, I got run over. Not by a car, but by a lady in a wheelchair. Am I really that invisible? FML
Today, I saw a little old lady trying to cross the street. I went over and tried to help her. Turned out she was actually just a really short young woman. As soon as I took her arm, she screamed in front of everyone and accused me of trying to molest her. FML
Today, feeling magnanimous, I decided to help a frail-looking old lady across a busy street. She managed to "accidentally" hit me in the balls with her cane no fewer than three times before we reached the other side. FML
Today, my mother-in-law tried to "accidentally" run me over. FML
Today, as I was getting out of my car, an old and obese lady walked up to me and called me an "inconsiderate heartless bitch" for using the last handicap parking spot. I guess she didn't see my wheelchair. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

"Make her day by asking her to marry me"... A bit conceited, aren't we?

who would say yes to a proposal from some stranger?
kglambert24 8
Like 4 said, right intentions but still weird. No one would actually say yes of course.

OP sounds a bit full of himself tbh, if he thinks that proposing to some random old lady will "make her day". What, does he think that some young stranger making a joke proposal is the best thing that will happen to her all day...because she's old? In a wheelchair? Hmmm...

22 that's exactly what i was thinking...what if she'd recently lost her husband or something!?!

Have you not seen the proposal song on chat roulette? It's on youtube. If done right, a proposal from a stranger can be funny and sweet and can make your day - obviously it's not meant to be taken seriously. I don't think he deserved to be run over by her wheelchair (wtf).

But what if she had said yes...

I dunno, 9, some people actually have a sense of humor and do say yes to play along.

69, I meant seriously. No one would seriously say yes.

You never know. There are some pretty strange people out there.
kglambert24 8
I suppose, but that's still quite far fetched.

Old people do the darnedest things. But to be fair I'd probably do the same thing to a stranger. (If I was an old lady)

OP was the one who proposed...

Unless you mean running OP over with a wheelchair.

No love!

You have the right intentions, but you might come off as a bit weird. Especially if they think you're playing a joke, since its pretty close to April Fools.

Sounds like she was the one doing the wheelin' not you!

How does a scavenger hunt relate to asking people to marry you anyway? Any scavenger hunt I've done I was looking for things..

He was looking for love (;

I've done a couple scavanger hunts in which you were asked to do something as part of some of the objectives.

I would have just skipped that part of the hunt. Why was it even on it to begin with? Why would a complete stranger marry you. You know for a fact it won't make their day because they don't ******* know you and don't want to marry you unless it was one of those fairytales where you search for your true love and then you find them and marry them. It wouldn't involve an old person. If Op was going to do everything on the hunt then someone should have put walk in traffic and avoid moving vehicles. He'll be fiiine. Cars can't hurt you. >.>

Well honestly I haven't scavenger hunted since elementary school so I guess I haven't kept up with the times

I doubt some young guy with his fancy legs walkin all around, happy cause he's got his whole life ahead of him, is gonna cheer up any old person... especially if that old person is in a wheelchair! Better luck next time!?!

I hit YDI immediately after reading that.

Maybe OP is a famous celebrity.

How is that a scavenger hunt? It isn't like a stranger is going to have something to give you.

Scavenger hunts sure have changed...
