Today, I learned that chivalry truly is dead when a seemingly fit man pushed me into a door to get a seat on the train before me. My leg is in a cast. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I got on the subway with a broken leg. A kind woman stood up and offered me her seat. Before I could sit down, a guy shoved past me and took it for himself. The woman and I pointed out my cast and crutches, and asked him to give up the seat. He responded by flipping us off. FML
Today, I held a door open for my boyfriend and jokingly said, "Chivalry is dead?" He responded with, "Who's chivalry?" FML
Today, on my way to school, I was shouted at by an obnoxious businessman for sitting down on the train when a "full fare paying passenger" was standing. I would normally have given him the seat straight away, except I have a broken leg. I showed him my leg and crutches. He still made me get up. FML
Today, I was brutally run over by a man in a wheelchair. FML
Today, a man slapped me in the face with his newspaper because I didn't get out of his way fast enough at the train station. I guess he didn't notice I was on crutches. FML
Today, I went out on a date with a girl for the first time. I opened her car door for her and then slammed her leg in it upon closing. She will be in a cast for 6 weeks. FML
Today, I was told off for not holding the door open for a woman behind me at work. Yesterday I was informed that chivalry is offensive to women, as it implies that they are not equal to men. I can't win. FML
Today, I had to cut short my New Year's resolution of going to the gym daily, when the meathead next to me dropped some heavy weights, which bounced and landed on my foot. I'm sitting at home in a cast. FML
Today, I ran for the train that was about to leave. I tried to hold the doors open with my leg and got stuck. The conductor just yelled out how unbelievable and ridiculous I was and waited 2 minutes to finally release me. Everyone was laughing at me. FML
Today, while sitting in a handicapped seat on the bus, an old man angrily approached me and chewed me out in front of everyone for not leaving the seat empty for "those who actually need it." Then he stormed off the bus, stepping heavily on my broken foot. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

This has nothing to do with chivalry. It shouldn't matter whether the OP is male or female, it shouldn't matter if the jerk who pushed them was male or female. When there are two people and only one seat, the person who is injured, elderly, pregnant, or in any way impaired should automatically get to sit there. If both people are relatively young and/or fit, then feel free to battle it out! Lack of chivalry? Try a lack of COMMON COURTESY, which is rapidly disappearing in today's society.

Chivalry is not dead, it's just an endangered species nowadays. You have to hunt for it ladies. HUNT FOR IT! Just, don't kill it once you find it. I knew a couple girls who actively kill chivalry, which is lame. So, don't kill it, 'cause, you know: it's endangered.

you should publically embarass him. like talk on your cell in front of him complaining to your doctor about how your wound opened up because a man pushed you out of the way on the train. its an asshole move, but this will teach him to mind his manners.
