Today, I found out that the blind man I've been helping for months at the grocery store by carrying his shopping around and stuff was actually faking his blindness. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I helped a "blind" man across the street. He kindly said thank you and patted me on the back. Then, I went into a store and realized my wallet was missing. FML
Today, my friend and I were in a hallway talking while a man kept walking by and turning around. I then asked him "WHAT are you LOOKING for!". It was a blind man. FML
Today, I went to a grocery store after work, exhausted. I nodded politely at a woman who smiled at me repeatedly. I realized at checkout she thought I was someone she knew. I nodded through a full conversation without knowing who I was pretending to be. FML
Today, I was working at a restaurant. This guy comes up to the counter and asks if he could have some toothpicks. I told him they were right in front of him. He said, "Sorry, I'm blind." Thinking it was a joke, I laughed until he said, "No, seriously." FML
Today, it turned out the twit I've been overcharging for drinks in my bar for wearing shades indoors is actually blind. FML
Today, I went on a blind date. Sadly, I wasn't blind enough. FML
Today, I tried helping an old lady with her groceries. When I asked if she needed help she smiled. When I took one of her bags she yelled. I didn't know she was deaf. FML
Today, I found out my husband was faking his leg injury. I caught him out and about walking just fine, hand in hand with another woman. I’ve been caring for him, holding down the bills, and taking him to an "at home" chiropractor for the past 7 months. FML
Today, I pretended to be deaf to a door to door salesman. He knew sign language. FML
Today, a man finally was flirting with me in a supermarket checkout lane, even offering to help unload my groceries onto the conveyor. Turns out he was just distracting everyone so his partner in crime could steal $200 from the cash register. I had to give a witness statement to the manager. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Who's the blind one now?

OP, I'm curious as to how you found this out. Did someone tell you and you just believed it? Did the guy see something? I'm legally blind - I have a small amount of vision, but not enough to read most print or get around safely without a cane. Because I can see some things, I get accused of faking my disability all the time. Eyesight isn't binary - there's a whole continuum. It's possible that he's just legally blind or visually impaired.

As I asked a few days ago, do rhetorical questions require a response? I didn't get an answer for that one...

No rhetorical questions don't require a response but the answer is usually pretty obvious.

it depends....were you being rhetorical in your question or were you merely spewing rhetoric? There's a difference.....

@29 What the heck is your deal. I mean even though he faked his blindness, doesn't mean you don't have to stop helping. And #8 is just expressing what a lot of parents told children. This never gave you the right to say "**** you"

I wonder the same thing. People are so eager to believe that people with disabilities are faking it - where's the evidence?
