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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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, 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, a sweet old lady gave up her seat for me in the bus. She lectured the entire bus that seats should be given to those in need, like myself who is "heavily pregnant." I'm just fat. FML
Today, I had to stand up on a train for my 4-hour journey. Why? Two pregnant women flew into unbridled rage with me over sitting in the priority seating, saying I was selfish. I'm recovering from spinal surgery. FML
Today, a pregnant woman got on the bus. There were no free seats, so I stood up to give her mine. An obese man pushed past her, waddled over, and oozed into my seat. I said it was for the pregnant lady. He called me a "sexist bitch" and claimed he needed it more. 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, while taking the subway home, a woman offered me her seat. I smiled and declined. She said she insisted because of my "pregnancy." I was too ashamed to say I wasn't pregnant, so I just took the seat. FML
Today, a businessman in his forties tackled me to the ground in an attempt to take my seat on a crowded train. When that didn't work, he called me a fat bitch and gave me the finger. The seat was given up for me because I'm seven months pregnant. FML
Today, as I was getting out of my car, an old and obese lady walked up to me and called me an "inconsiderate heartless bitch" for using the last handicap parking spot. I guess she didn't see my wheelchair. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

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.

Ignore this. Double-posted.

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

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.
