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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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 was sitting on the bus and as I'm quite short my legs were dangling. Some guy, who wasn't looking where he was going, tripped over my foot and went flying. He and everyone else on the bus glared at me like it was deliberate. The man next to me even changed seats in disgust. FML
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
Today, I was taking the bus home from work. As I was getting off an old man whistled at me, I told him to go to hell and got off the bus. When the bus drove away the old man stood in the back of the bus, holding up the wallet I left that he was trying to give to me. FML
Today, I said thanks to a man who got up for me in the bus. He angrily said "no, not you!". The old lady who sat down is now staring at me. FML
Today, I got on the bus. Before I could make it to a free seat, the driver hit the gas, and the sudden movement caused me to stumble and accidentally grab onto another passenger for support. She didn't appreciate this, accused me of molesting her, and got me thrown back off. FML
Today, while on the bus, I found out the seat I'd taken was the preferred spot of a very hostile and extremely overweight freshman. Instead of letting me find different place to sit, she half sat on me, and completely ignored my attempts to dislodge myself all the way to school. 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 was on the bus, it hit a bump on the road and made me hit a elderly man. The bus driver thought I did it on purpose and made me get off. FML
Today, I was getting on a bus, the driver shut the door on me while I was half way inside. Instead of apologizing to me, he criticized me for getting in the way. FML

Geezuz ******* christ what is wrong with people being so high and mighty and uppity about this sort of thing with their wild accusations?!

Ouch. Did you have a cast or crutches? Even if you didn't, you still don't deserve being stomped on.

I'm sick and tired with people assuming people are not disabled. I'm a nurse. I've seen people who are half dead but look like they could run a marathon.

#1 is it necessary to blaspheme?

I don't know, #38. Is it necessary to nag him about it? Things to ponder.

This isn't a religious website, he can blaspheme all he wants.

Blasphemy is ALWAYS necessary.

Now I just wonder where all these rude and mean people come from. Who are they to judge other people?

Or use them to beat the crap outa the cranky bastard :p
JBirdeye 14
Wtf you don't beat the crap out of elderly men. But yeah, he was a asshole, should've observed more before making judgments about you.
RabbitOfAurora 28
You should have offered to have him sit on your lap OP. Hope the healing of your foot didn't get set back too far.
palosqueak 19
yeah... let an old man that you dont know sit on your lap... good idea...
iLike2Teabag 27
Sit in OP's lap? Maybe if OP was a cheesy mall satan taking the bus to get home after work. He can even ask the old man what he wants next Christmas!

Whilst the old chap is in the wrong chances are he's had enough of young whipper snappers not giving up there seats for the elderly he just happened to lose his shadizzle on the wrong person. Hope your foots ok OP.

Old man being an asshole: give him a break. Younger people: damn kids of this generation! No faith in humanity!!! Double standards...
calbiasso 12
Sorry to hear that, OP. He may have been half blind and didn't see your bandage, or was just a bitter old fart :/
suri23 11
I vote for bitter old fart; there are a lot of them out and about.

Why would you take that abuse? Why didn't you stand up for yourself?
bethluvsyou 15
He can't exactly "stand up for himself" with a broken leg, maybe he should try sitting down for himself, like Rosa Parks.
JoleneDaniel 12
its a broken foot
happle 21
I agree 14, he shouldn't stand for that kind of treatment.
