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?

It'd be pretty mean if the kid said, "I wish you'd step back from that ledge, my friend." Wait! That's Third Eye Blind, not Second Eye Blind. Never mind. Wait! That's Nirvana...

I feel you, I've been blind in one eye since birth to. Although at times it's tough you gotta remember that in a way we're lucky - we're not completely blind (yet) I still have about 5 years before I completely loose my vision. So enjoy every moment of sight!

So when they get a 4D Aromavision screen you'll be stuck at 3D? I'm confused.

I can kinda feel your pain here. Im not blind in one eye but i have strabismus so my non-dominant eye just adds extra peripheral vision. Ive never been able to see 3D anything nor do I have any kind of depth perception. My mother-in-law was excited to take the family to see a Disney 3D movie recently and with the glasses it made the movie look like a normal movie to me. Just be thankful you have at least one good eye to use... thats more than some people can say. Ive heard some people say the 3D ruins movies for them so maybe we arent missing out on much anyway.

Anyone saying YDI is a jerk. How does the OP deserve blindness? Sheesh.

Uh... yeah, you need two eyes to see in 3D. In fact, you need two eyes with the correct intersecting angles of vision (which is why prey animals, who have eyes father apart to see a greater width, cannot see in 3D). Now who's the moron?

Ya get back to me when you have one eye.
