Today, I was on the train next to an elderly woman. When I told her it was my stop, she turned her knees towards the aisle, and I, thinking that she was letting me go by, began to edge past. She screamed, "DON'T PUSH ME!" and the whole train turned to look. I was thus the asshole pushing the old lady. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, as I was trying to get off a crowded train, some asshole pushed past me hard enough to nearly knock me over. My bag hit a preschool kid standing behind me, and I missed my stop trying to apologize to him. His mom yelled at me all the way to the next stop. 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, on the train, a man kept grabbing my crotch. When I told him to stop, I got yelled at for harassing an elderly man. 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 went on a busy train. I packed myself in close to a very good looking woman and, too scared to say anything, looked out the window. After feeling a hand on my ass, I assumed it was her. To not ruin the moment, I didn't look back. After a few stops, I looked back. It was an old man. FML
Today, an old lady fell in the street, and I rushed to help her. As I tried to help her to her feet, she started screaming, "She pushed me! She pushed me!" I froze up in shock, and ended up being chased by some guy who thought I'd attacked her. FML
Today, I was yelled at by a bunch of angry people because I couldn't physically move out of the way while 10 more tried to force their way onto a subway in Shanghai. Then one old lady started hitting me with her purse to get me to move even more. FML
Today, as I caught the train home, a woman got on and sat on the only available seat next to me. We got talking and as the train approached the next station, she said that this was her stop and she had to go. She exited the train and I turn to see her enter the compartment behind me. FML
Today, an old lady savagely shoved me out of a queue, after I'd been waiting for twenty minutes. I couldn't bring myself to fight back or say anything, and ended up dragging my sorry arse to the back of the queue. FML
Today, I was on the tram, when an elderly couple got on. I stood up to give them room to sit together, but as I stood up, the tram set off and I went flying, knocking the elderly gentleman over. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

sucks even more you probably didn't have time to explain, but on the bright side you won't see any of those people again!

For an elderly women, she owned you for coming up with this comment. Don't mess with elderly people some still have their wits about them.

Didn't your parents teach you to respect your elders. Also you have been ready to get off at your stop 1 stop before so you don't have to push people aside to get off

I understood the post. My comment was starring that he should have been ready to get off at least 1 stop before his stop so he didn't have to be accused of pushing an old lady. I live in NYC and i live near a busy train stop so this it what I have to do otherwise I'm pushing people out of my way. Which is something I don't like doing, unless those people are pushing there way in and not giving us any time to get off.

Pretty sure I know a metal song with that as the chorus, did you check for earphones? Maybe she was just singing along. Otherwise, I think it was reasonable of you to assume she wanted you to push past while she was seated instead of making her get up and find a space away from everyone else trying to exit the train while you vacated your seat.

The best recover for that would've been "im sorry mam" And kept going But you might still get that title anyway but you still tried to be nice Just for future situations

people who don't bear other people shouldn't take the train or the bus. I hate people who get angry because someone touched them lightly in a crowded bus to be able to get off the bus on time. It's the only way to get off.
