Today, I entered the crowded bus and one man sitting in the priority seat glanced at me. Upon seeing my protruding tummy, he quickly offered me his seat. I took the seat. I am not pregnant. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, a pregnant woman got on the bus. There were no free seats, so I stood up to give her mine. An obese man pushed past her, waddled over, and oozed into my seat. I said it was for the pregnant lady. He called me a "sexist bitch" and claimed he needed it more. FML
Today, while taking the subway home, a woman offered me her seat. I smiled and declined. She said she insisted because of my "pregnancy." I was too ashamed to say I wasn't pregnant, so I just took the seat. FML
Today, I saw a woman who I thought was pregnant on the bus. Trying to be nice, I offered her my seat and congratulated her. She wasn't pregnant, just holding a large bag of groceries. The entire bus heard me and the death glare she gave could’ve turned me to stone. FML
Today, a sweet old lady gave up her seat for me in the bus. She lectured the entire bus that seats should be given to those in need, like myself who is "heavily pregnant." I'm just fat. FML
Today, a businessman in his forties tackled me to the ground in an attempt to take my seat on a crowded train. When that didn't work, he called me a fat bitch and gave me the finger. The seat was given up for me because I'm seven months pregnant. FML
Today, as I stepped into a subway car, I noticed some free seats and began walking towards them. A group of girls standing nearby looked at me, then at the seats, and made a run for them. They then high-fived, presumably as congratulations for sitting down before the pregnant lady could. FML
Today, I was wearing a new $500 dress on a crowded train. I looked great and I could feel the eyes on me. A cute guy then offered me his seat, only boosting my confidence more until he said "for you and the baby," pointing at a bump in my dress. I'm not pregnant and wasted $500. FML
Today, on the bus, a little boy gave me the dirtiest look, pointed at my pregnant stomach, and menacingly said, "I know what you did." FML
Today, while on the bus, a small child asked me if I was having a baby, and I replied "Yes." I'm not. I was just too ashamed to admit I was fat. FML
Today, while I was on the bus to work, a morbidly obese man sat down next to me. When my stop came and I stood up to get off, he just looked at me, said with a smirk, "good luck with that," and went back to reading his paper. I missed my stop. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

At least he was kind enough to offer his seat. And you saved him embarrassment by taking it instead of pointing out the error. I think the situation went as smoothly as it could. Maybe you can use this as your wake up call to finally get on a path to losing weight if it really bothered you. Mine was when I saw myself in a picture about 2 years ago...I was so big, my face looked like it was swollen from a bee sting or something. I was disgusted with myself, so I started doing something about it. 35 pounds lost so far. :)

YDI BIG TIME! If you're big enough to be mistaken for being pregnant, maybe next time you should consider walking instead of riding the bus. And you took the seat, so you couldn't have been that offended/hurt. So yeah, learn your lesson and start doing something about it instead of bitching online!

Maybe she didn't respond because she was embarrassed and didn't want the guy to think she was fat. She was probably pretty upset by it. Also, people saying "YDI because you're fat" yeah, maybe it could help her to lose a few pounds, but it might not be her fault and she might very much want/be trying to lose weight. Or this could of been her wake up call. I just feel like some of you are being offensive (she should walk instead? It's likely to far to walk, and she's not going to walk everywhere)

You should be glad you got a seat! People these days . . . Btw, lose some weight. No offense. Oh, and YDI.

I really want to vote on this but, I don't want to say you deserve it because it might be misunderstood that you deserved the seat or that your life sucks because you were offered a seat and took it because you're too lazy to hold yourself up.

I'm tired of seeing these fml posts about over self conscience people. You always assume the worst from simple acs of kindness. Maybe he was being a gentleman and offering a lady a seat.

maybe he was just offering you the seat because he's a gentleman...
