Excuses

Today, a woman on the train demanded I give up my seat for her, claiming it was for people with disabilities. Tired from a long day at work, and seeing she had nothing wrong with her, I asked what her disability was. Apparently, obesity is one. 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

As you just found out, stupidity is also a disability. A VERY common disability.

Wow. I agree the lady in this post was rude, but the people commenting on this are even ruder! Yes obesity is a problem, but have a heart people! None of us are perfect, and people kill themselves because of cruel taunts like these. Take a look in the mirror and see of your perfect before ridiculing someone about something they probably beat themselves up over daily.

People who claim their obesity is a disability and use it to their advantage most likely don't feel bad about being obese.

I wasn't trying to be offensive, so my apologizes. As a citizen of the United States I don't know what its like other places. However, I do travel a lot and we, by far, eat more fatty addictive foods. So using obesity as an excuse is ridiculous, hence my comment.

Fat people should not get special privileges cuz they are fat. It's usually their fault plain and simple. Standing might be good for them for a change

Actually that would be classified as cruel and unusual punishment (or torture) if op is suffocated under the obese one's weight. o.o

i would never give up a seat for a fatty. if its too hard for them to stand its their own bloody fault they chose to be that way!!!

I Don't see why this is an "FML", she's the one with the disability

I hope you told her to **** off and find a different seat. Obesity is not a disability.

I'd just say well my dick is so big if I stand it will bust throught the train floor and stop the train so ill stay sitting

Yep, people can get "disability" checks for being fat. Welcome to the United States of America, where we give away money constantly, even though we are in trillions of dollars in debt.
