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

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

The good news is you've extended your time for which you're entitled to the handicapped seat. :)

I'm sure "God" can fix OP's broken foot, too. Clearly the bitter old man didn't give OP a chance to politely point out his broken foot. Anyway, I've discovered that in far too many people, belief in a god leads to ignorance, it doesn't fix it.

He must have been a bit blind or he didn't see your cast. You didn't deserve to get stomp like that :( feel better OP

What an idiot. No-one needs to 'leave a seat empty'. Even if you aren't handicapped you have every right to sit there if no-one else needs it. You just have to make sure you move if a handicapped person does get on. No sense in wasting a perfectly good seat.

I highly disagree with you my sister is special needs and she needs those seats sometimes if we get on the bus and the bus driver sees the handicap seat full we have to wait for the next bus.

As someone with an invisible disability, I know how this feels. I just whip out my handicapped parking permit (you carry it in your wallet with your licence, it's different from the placard you put in your windshield) and they shut right the **** up.

Not all invisible disabilities get the permit though, some are too unreliable. Good fo you though, I bet it feels great to prove them wrong lol
