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?

If you feel bad because you can't see the 'amazing' 3D effects, you're not missing out on anything, honestly.

Tell him that it's too bad he doesn't have 3 eyes so he can see this great 4D TV you just got.

57&44& OP: I know what its like on both sides. my fiancée is blind in one eye but people don't mean to rub it in... they dont think aboit and forget because they just don't see it as a big deal/handicap.

Dear #11. As someone who was born half blind in one eye, I've got to tell you two things. 1.) There is no medical technology that allows it to be fixed (otherwise we wouldn't have blind people in the world.) 2.) Rude much?

The best part of this is realizing there are so many people out there with the same problem. Most people don't understand. Easier with age, but having never had depth perception... Can't help but wonder what it's like.

I too haven't been able to see out of my eye since birth. I completely feel for the OP. It gets really annoying having to remind people all the time that no I can't see 3d and also won't pay the $15 or whatever to go to a 3d movie.
