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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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 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 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 gave up my seat on the subway for an elderly man. He thanked me by grabbing my ass. 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, 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, I learned that chivalry truly is dead when a seemingly fit man pushed me into a door to get a seat on the train before me. My leg is in a cast. 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 offered an elderly man my seat on the train. He thanked me by winking and offering me a seat on his lap. FML
Today, I was quietly reading in the subway, when all of a sudden, at a station, the man sitting next to me stood up, slapped me, yelled "Bitch!", and rushed off the train. FML

I hope you took a swing at him with your crutch... or at least let it rest on his foot.

The same thing happened to me when I broke my leg, I ended up "accidentally" "falling" into the side of the chair every 30 seconds until he gave me it.

Yeah or stomp on his foot with your crutch. What an a-hole . Some peoples kids.
CrissyyyS2 22
The audacity of people... Shove that crutch into his throat.
hugozac88 22
I guess butt holes have priority seating.

Am I the only one that read OP's username..? o.o
CrissyyyS2 22
72, just saw his username! Let me rephrase. Hex him by shoving your crutches in his anus.

Or you could just flip him off back, but if all else fails, give him a crutch to the face.

You guys do realize that if op hit the guy, he (the guy) could defend himself and fight back. He would probably kick your ass too, considering he has one more working leg. People don't think things theough.

It's a subway, not a football match.
Blackcatluck 19
Most likely a soccer match...
xmidnightxlonerx 12
39, you have to realize that this is from the UK making football the correct term. Not "American football"
RadikulRam 16
#39 He didn't say American Football, now did he?
BulldogHoops 14
Or a Miami Heat basketball game

How does OP deserve this?

"YDI for being careless and breaking your leg."
Ian7890 23
#5 People don't always break their leg by being careless. You don't even know his story so don't assume it was his fault.
Jelbeztok 17
I don't think he was being serious..
lilhellian 27
#14 He deserved it for having weak legs. YDI for not whacking him with the crutches.
HarroIAmBob 21
#14 he was being sarcastic
Sandman366 6
I thought it was obvious, YDI for having legs.
lishajoy777 14
Yes! "Darn you for not being legless... its your fault you have them anyways!"
Potatobacon 6
Time to give him a cast and crutch of his own

Lol

How far do you think you can shove your crutch up his ass? I think a foot would work
SpamPam 18
Adjust the notches an go as far as it will take
ZeusBeDubsteppin 24
i wouldnt want my foot in there... if its the good one and gets stuck, you're screwed, other foot gets stuck? ouch :p

This seems to happen a lot on subways, I've noticed.
Dracoboxer357 36
Kind woman offering up her seat; Faith in humanity 2 Asshole stealing said seat; -2 Add flipping you off; -4. Focus on the kindness, its still worth more notice. :)
emmingle 24
You should have felt free to take a seat. Assholes like that usually have no other purpose than making makeshift crippled seating arrangements.

Unfortunately this is the world we live in. Karma will get him hopefully.
ZombieSazza 34
What the **** is wrong with some people?! Also, how the hell does the OP deserve this?
Mirailecious 23
Some people accidently click on YDI. It's happened to me a couple of times when I'm on mobile.
lishajoy777 14
Didn't you know he apparently deserves it for having legs..
kailarahne 19
This happens to me so often that I feel that the YDI and your life sucks buttons should be very far away from each other. Yes, I accidentally YDI this post:(
