Today, after 3 hours in a cramped car with my family, we stopped at a gas station. I got out of the car and the first words out of my mouth were, "It feels so good to be able to walk!" That's when I noticed the elderly man sitting in a wheelchair only a few meters away. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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 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, a co-worker and I walked out of our office at the same time. He got in his car, which was parked right out front. I asked him what I had to do to get a sweet parking spot like that. He rolled up his pant leg and show me his prosthesis. He was in the handicapped spot. FML
Today, I was waiting in line to use the bathroom. I complained to the guy next to me about how long the lady was taking. I kept making jokes about it, but he never seemed to laugh. Finally, the door opened and out came a lady in a wheelchair. The guy next to me was her husband. FML
Today, I was brutally run over by a man in a wheelchair. FML
Today, it's the fourth day since I got home from hospital in a wheelchair after a car wreck. It was also the first day that someone in my house offered to do something for me. My father-in-law visited and offered to make me a sandwich. My response? I cried. My wife and kids laughed at me. FML
Today, I was on a road-trip with some of my buddies, when we stopped at a gas station. When I opened the door to their bathroom, brown water flowed out, soaking my legs up to my knees. I then spent another 2 hours in an enclosed vehicle. FML
Today, I was with my grandma in my new car. She suddenly says, "I've got to pee bad." Without giving me enough time to find a gas station, she blurts out, "Never mind, I just did." FML
Today, I was sitting at home when I remembered that I desperately needed gas for my car. On my way there, I prayed that my car would make it the whole way, and was thankful when I pulled up to the pump, because I knew my car wouldn't go any further. Then I realized I left my wallet at my house. FML
Today, I was at the Salvation Army when I saw a wheelchair in the miscellaneous aisle. I thought it would be fun to ride around in it. As I was wheeling it back to where I found it, I made it back just as it's owner was hobbling out of the dressing room. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Look right at him and say, "You oughta try it, you lazy, old fart!" In a situation like that, apologizing just makes things worse, so you might as well go the way down the Asshole Road. It's a one-way street.

If I was the guy in the wheelchair, I would have run your ass over.

It's not that bad, my gran is in a wheelchair bit she can still walk with difficulty. Anyway the old man is a bit stupid if he thinks it's directed towards him.

I don't think he was offended but just wouldn't mind know the feeling too.

oooh, be glad he didn't try and kneecap you
xxmusicroxxx 0
Kneecap you? What does that mean?
monnanon 14
it means to take out the kneecap by swinginf a heavy object, applying blunt force or shooting out the knee. Probably not fatal but nasty nontheless
aceman1992 9
Or by taking an arrow to the knee.
TheMaster15 10
One more arrow to the knee joke and i'll shove MY knee up your butt.
TraceCase_ 19
Actually, this one time only, an arrow to the knee joke might have been appropriate xD

I was gonna shove a knee up my butt, then i took an arrow to the knee.

I used to tell arrow to the knee jokes until i got a mace to my face.

That's awful but I laughed. Shame on me :/

Oh perdix.. You're so clever

Ha! How do you come up with these

He is probably speaking from experience. Perdix seems like the kind of person trouble likes to follow.
perdix 31
#100. You're funny. perdix is not the real me. The real me is like Clark Kent. perdix is my comic-book character endowed with powers of super-dickishness.
perdix 31
No, #104, it's just your disease.
The_Hitdude 12
I think he meant pedophilia. It also seems as though becoming easily confused is your Kryptonite.
Jamialia 5
So? You couldn't help that he was near. And I bet he has heard people say that quiet a few times before any way.

Three hours is not that long to sit in a car. I'll bet you've sat at a computer for longer lol
perdix 31
3 hours in real time isn't very long, I agree, but being in a car with your family has a stress multiplier that can easily be around 10. It can be like an interrogation room with added fart odor.

Only if theres **** involved..

Try driving from New Hampshire to New Brunswick without getting out...7 hours.

13 hours and you didn't even fill up on gas? Damn I wish my gas tank had unlimited gas.

Try 24 hours.. From California to Texas.
AlaskanEskimo34 0
Um, I drove from Fairbanks, Alaska to Houston, Texas to see some family. That shit took 1 week with 16 hours of straight driving including gas stops.
chili10 18
And before anybody asks, yes we stopped for gas, we only got out to go to the bathroom.
DKjazz 20
Our family drove from Athens, Greece to Las Vegas, Nevada, and it took a year and a half! You know how many gas stations are on the Pacific Ocean?
perdix 31
#86, you could have saved a lot of time by crossing the Atlantic instead. There are lots of gas stations there, but be careful, most of the mermaids "working" around them have genital barnacles.

Last August, me and my friend drove from NYC to Chicago in, give or take, 11 hrs and 30 mins. We stopped about 3 times.

Fo'real. 3 hours? U big baby

Or sitting in a plane in economy for more than 8 hours with family is torture...especially when all three of your other siblings throw up during the flight. Also, I went on a flight that was 17 hours long. Goodness, it was nice to at least be on the ground again after that time...only two hours later to be on a plane again for another 8 hours, haha.

Am I the only one who noticed that yesterday, the "It feels so good to be able to walk!" was in CAPS…?
WCARlover 35
In his head you know he was like "yeah bro, I wouldn't know. Thanks douche" lol but really that was just terribly unfortunate timing.
WCARlover 35
Okay I'll beat the people that are going to say "OP is a girl so why did you say bro?"..when I commented it didn't say the gender okay thanks bye:)
WCARlover 35
Whoops I guess I just didn't see it bro :/ its cause i was on a computer instead of myiPod like usual, *accepts loss*
