Today, I was at my class's band concert. Before the curtain was raised, I helped haul the piano to a different spot so a girl who would've had to stand behind it could be seen. I said, "There, now your mom can see you play!" She responded with, "My mom's blind." FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was practicing for a choir concert that I have next week. My mom walked into my room and listened to me for a little while. After I finished the last song, she smiled, patted me on the head and said, "It's okay honey, I can't sing either." FML
Today, I went to my kid's band concert. She's 12 and in the advanced team. They were the first ones to play and they were so incredibly bad that I laughed. Really, really loud. I was escorted out of the recital. FML
Today, I was a guest performer for a school orchestra concert a grade above mine. When they called my name, I didn’t hear them, so when they started the song hundreds of people watched me run on stage. FML
Today, during a moment of silence in front of the entire high school during my band concert, I managed to hit the stand with my flute, and loudly scrambled to catch it before it fell over. I've never had so many people look at me. FML
Today, I was sitting behind a cute girl in class. She said she liked musicals, so I played The Greatest Showman at full blast on my headphones. She turned around and moved seats. FML
Today, while my mother's blind friend was waiting in our kitchen for my mom to come home, I thought it would be funny to talk to her in the nude. Turns out she's only blind in one eye. FML
Today, I was in band rehearsing for a big concert coming up. Since the band was practicing with the orchestra and there weren’t enough seats, we had to stand. My back was facing everyone when my friend tapped me on the shoulder and pointed to my ass. I got my period and everyone saw the stain. FML
Today, I came home and told my mom that I got the lead in the school musical, which I was very happy about. She pulled me into a hug then said, "But you know you can't really sing, right?" FML
Today, I had a show with my drama group. My mom isn't a good drunk, she decided to scream along to every song and pass out halfway through. She was in the front row. FML
Today, as a condominium security guard, I had to enter an old lady's apartment to supervise the mandatory maintenance taking place inside. I commented on the lakeside view from her window and mentioned, "This is a pretty nice view up here isn't it?" It turns out that she's blind. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I see what you did there.

#3 but the mom didn't see what he did there.
SoMuchWut 8
That's because the mom doesn't see anything.

18, but her 4 other senses are way better than the average person's 5 senses. So OP's mom heard a lot better (yes, the way a band/orchestra is set up on stage determines the sound quality).
MyNameIsViet 15
That's what they were trying to say..... DISCREETLY

5 - Eye see what you did there.

18 Wow. That went over your head by a mile.

59- It's all over Tumblr, if you do have a blog. People try to recreate it. But I don't see how they can.

53, apparently so did mine.

#18 you don't say!?

I'm sure her mom didn't see that coming either

Neither did the girl's mom

You must have been blindsided by that answer.
dorworters 9
thats just a bitchy thing to say. she couldve accepted the gesture and been on with it, but she deliberately made it awkward for you, making you look like an ass, when you did nothing to her. hate people who do stupid shit like that
heartemopants 18
It's the thought that counts... But at least the mom can hear it. And music is much more enjoyable with ears anyways!
MrSassypants 34
You could have made it worse by saying "at least I know sign language so I can talk to her."
ohheykiwi 2
..what
Cupcake040 17
Sign language is for deaf people.......wtf are you saying blind people can hear you talk! I seriously hope you're face palming yourself right now cause that was stupid..
MrSassypants 34
The mother can't see, so OP saying he knew sign language would make it worse because he would have said something stupid making it more embarrassing for himself.
ohheykiwi 2
No, just no. You can't save face. Just go. We'll understand.
Cupcake040 17
Just cause you made a stupid mistake doesn't mean OP is your escape goat.......
DocBastard 40
For those of you who are sarcasm-deficient, MrsAssyPants was making a joke. She knows full well that blind people can't see. And Cupcake040, I hope you're facepalming for "escape goat". Where do these goats escape from exactly?
erockinthesuburb 17
Prison. They escaped from prison.
SerpentBoy 8
Do these goats scream like people while they're making their escape?.. That would make it difficult.
Enslaved 38
Only when they're kids. :P

21- Your comment just saved this whole thread.

Escape goats are running away from Taylor Swift.
cBlackout 13
I'm working on a picture of what an escape goat might look like. This should be amazing.

OH MY GOD CUPCAKE040 YOU ARE SO ******* STUPID.
CarlosDanger 12
The irony is too large. The sign language thing was sarcasm, so to call him stupid only shows your stupidity.
Dracoboxer357 36
Don't feel too bad, Op, you couldn't have known that without asking and it was a thoughtful gesture none the less. :)
ryanpreiss 17
New to FML... What does op mean?
Dracoboxer357 36
Op means Original Poster, the person who started this fml we are discussing. :)
jem970 19
Draco where have you been? I havent seen you around much lately. I miss your comments
Dracoboxer357 36
Aww, thanks Jem. :) I wasn't really in the mood for much online, my wife was hospitalized for a few weeks and things were kinda hard. :( But, everythings doing better now, so I'll try to share some of my simple wit and sunshine more often! :D
Trickiest_K 9
Exactly, you could never have known that, I'm sure she wouldn't hold that against you !
Jemm_fml 29
no way you could have known though... You were just being nice.
meso222 8
You definitely deserve this one for trying to be a good person... But seriously it is kind of humorous in an ironic way, just laugh it off and you will be fine. The irony not the blind thing.
hannaaaahr 33
Oh so next time OP should try to be a bad person instead? Seriously, how could trying to be a good person be something bad?

I think 16 was being sarcastic. The next sentence starts with "but seriously", meaning the first sentence was not serious.
warturtle 14
Its the thought what counts.

Murphy's law, sorry I laughed out loud reading this ...

I don't think you know what Murphy's law is.
