Today, I drove my dad to Walmart to do some shopping. His leg is still in a cast after an accident, so I helped him to the last mobility scooter. A guy whose only disability was clearly Fat-Fuck Syndrome then yelled at us, claiming he needed it more and that my dad was a faker. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was at Walmart. A guy in a mobility scooter bumped into me, then told me to "get the fuck out of the way." When I told him to watch his mouth, he got up and shoved me into a shelf. Just a few minutes prior, he'd yelled that he was paralyzed from the waist down. FML
Today, my lazy, obese mother took the last motor cart at the grocery store. My leg is in a cast. She told me to "use the shopping cart to help with the limp" as she rolled away. FML
Today, I had to pick up my dad because he was too drunk to drive home. Drive his wheelchair home, that is. FML
Today, I had to explain to a lady at Walmart that my mom, who is rather big-boned, actually suffers from fibromyalgia and arthritis, which is why she has to use motor carts. She didn't believe us, and called my mom "selfish". This is a common occurrence. FML
Today, while shopping, an old man came up to me and told me I should be ashamed for walking around fake limping, and that it's horrible to mock people who actually limp from serious injuries. I wasn't faking, I was born without my right leg and I was getting used to my new prosthetic one. FML
Today, I told a guy he should be ashamed of himself for parking in a handicapped space. He hit me with his prosthetic leg. FML
Today, I helped my dad push our broken-down truck from the driveway onto the tire ramp. Truck didn't make it; neither did my leg. FML
Today, my dad picked me up from school, something he'll be doing while my broken leg heals. He thought it'd be hilarious to arrive early and ask the staff where his "crippled" son was, loudly saying I'd broken my leg in a "masturbation-related accident". FML
Today, after parking in the handicapped spot of a lot with my placard, an older couple with their 7-year-old grandchild came up and yelled at me for being a lying asshole and taking the parking spot. When I showed them my prosthetic leg, the kid started crying and guess who got yelled at again. FML
Today, I went to Target with my dad, and he told me to get in the shopping cart. I thought he was being cool and wanted to push me around. He snorted and said he was thinking about crashing me into a car and suing the driver. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

How could your dad? He clearly went through the trouble of getting a cast so that he could ride the mobility scooters as an excuse to not walk due to laziness. Shame on him.

Uhhhh The People of Wal-Mart. So fascinating!

"Fascinating" is not usually a word I'd use about people who go to Walmart. Except with SO much sarcasm...that it actually hurts.

How could you possibly know he isn't disabled? Fat people exist everywhere,you might want to travel a bit and educate yourself about the world.

Yes, the difference is that morbidly obese people are rare in most countries. In 'Murica you see them everywhere. I'm sorry but it's not my country that has a Stroke Belt(aka Obesity/Diabetes Belt).

That is so true! And the majority of those people are not even trying, not even making the slightest effort, to help themselves get healthier by dropping those pounds.

Unfortunately, in the us lots of people suffer from FFS.. Or fat **** syndrome.

I have traveled 7 states in America, I have been to Frankfurt, Germany. I was born in India grew up there, I moved to America when I was 11 like 8 years ago and now I am planning on going to London this summer and with my parents we are going Europe trip in summer as well. I think I have travelled enough to make an assumption. Have a great day!!

That a very limited amount of travel. If you had traveled more you'd note that Mexico is highest per capita in morbidly obese people. Along with countries like, New Zeland, Canada, Ireland, Britian and Germany have very close rates to the U.S. You really have no basis for making any assumptions because you were born in an under developed country and went to one city in a Eastern European country.

I'm glad we don't have that kind of problems in Europe (yet). On a different note, in your pic you look like khaleesi. ^_^

Thumbs down for using khaleesi, that is a title, not a name.

Your dad is so inconsiderate. Lazy is much worse of a condition than a broken leg. How dare you two!

Hey now fat people being fat isn't lazy, it's not their fault they made bad decisions all their life.
brand125 17
72 - im guessing youre joking, cause your comment doesnt make sense. a decision IS a choice (thats exactly what the word means), therefor its their fault they make them... and not all cases of obesity are from laziness, obviously, but some can be.

Whoa sarcasm doesn't go over well here....

Wow...kinda surprises me that you're trying to tell a story about someone being mean and yet "Fat-**** Syndrome" is in your vocabulary.
PenguinBitch 44
What? You want "Obese-Darn Syndrome"? I don't think so...

It's hypocritical. Don't get angry about something, and then turn around and do it.
emilyyy_maryyy 14
Op, had a right to be angry. The man didn't have to be such an asshole.
rylaii 26
I had to re-read the post to be sure but OP never calls him mean. Probably a comment on how ridiculous the man was. Perfectly legit to say he has fat **** syndrome.
danielhartlesss 13
I, personally, love the fact that OP used the phrase "Fat ****". I would've also accepted "Lard Ass" and "Big Titty".
