Today, my nephew spent a long while enthusiastically telling me how amazing his new 3D TV system is. I felt his pain as his face turned white when he remembered that I'm blind in one eye since birth. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I went to a movie with a girl I went to high school with. There was a preview for an upcoming 3D movie. I asked her if she had ever seen a 3D movie before. She told me she couldn't because she is blind in one eye. Apparently it's a "sensitive subject." FML
Today, my 3 year old nephew was sitting on my knee at the computer. He was annoying me as he kept on pressing all the buttons. To scare him off I did a creepy voice in his ear that makes him cry. He turned round and broke my nose. FML
Today, my brother's new girlfriend, who is blind, asked to feel my face so she could tell what I look like. She said I was "unique". A blind chick just told me I was ugly. FML
Today, I was trying to be-friend a boy who was sitting alone. He had his gameboy nearly plastered to his eyes. I, cleverly, say to him, "Geeze don't put that thing so close, your eyes will fall out!" He took off his sunglasses, eyes going crooked, and said, "I'm legally blind." Insert foot here. FML
Today, my three year old nephew was pointing at the TV screen and saying "Uncle, Uncle!" He thought it was me on the screen. It was Rosie O'Donnell. FML
Today, my older brother called me in the middle of the night to describe to me, in painstaking elaborate detail, the Yamaha commercial he'd just watched. FML
Today, I come home to find my nephew holding pieces of my new $3,500 Sony Video Camera. He told me he threw it out the window because it was a portal for aliens. FML
Today, I was showing my step-dad old photos of the family. We got to a picture of me and I mentioned how much weight I've lost. He muttered, "Heh, fat AND blind". FML
Today, I accidentally poked myself in the left eye. As I sat there in pain, my 9-year-old nephew, who we think has OCD, decided to help out by poking me in the right eye. FML
Today, my dad was teasing me, saying a guy would have to be blind to go on a date with me. I then introduced him to my new, visually impaired boyfriend. He hasn't stopped laughing. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I wouldn't see why he couldn't tell you about it at least. But you aren't missing much, I can't even watch 3D cause I get crippling migraines from it

I agree with Jaxx. Can't stand those things. And YDI for making your nephew feel bad for an innocent slip-up.

Maybe im wrong but she didnt say anything. The nephew was talking and then remembered that the OP is blind with one eye.

My thoughts exactly, they haven't developed enough to be worth it.

As a person who, like OP, can only see out of one eye since birth, I would like to say it's be fact that you're so limited that's annoying. Not being able to watch 3D things, or not being able to do certain jobs, things like that. It's not great at all.

Really? The 3D tv's I've seen all have blurry picture and look like complete crap that isn't even kind of 3D.... Maybe it's just me?
thewife5 19
It's blurry.. Until you put the 3D glasses on.. Then it's an awesome picture! But not worth the extra cash:/

3G tv are really ******* bad for your eyes though. Immense eye strain and headaches for the loss.

50, Try cutting it in half, taping the two together and wearing it like a monocle

I have a friend who lost an eye to cancer at a young age. She can see 3D just fine - they've recently changed it specifically so people with vision in one eye can still see it. This is fake. Atleast do your research first.
fogrunner 13
ORRRRRRRRRR maybe it isn't fake because OP didn't KNOW about this recent change and wasn't actually WATCHING the nephew's TV?

Pun intended?
