Today, I was at the park playing Frisbee with my friends, when I saw a boy sitting on a bench looking rather sad. "Hey!" I yelled, and he looked up at me. I lightly threw the Frisbee in his direction, and it hit him in the face. He was blind. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was trying to be-friend a boy who was sitting alone. He had his gameboy nearly plastered to his eyes. I, cleverly, say to him, "Geeze don't put that thing so close, your eyes will fall out!" He took off his sunglasses, eyes going crooked, and said, "I'm legally blind." Insert foot here. FML
Today, I was at the park with my friends. We were all having fun on the swings, when out of nowhere I heard a thud, followed by a child crying. Turns out I accidentally kicked him in the head. FML
Today, my son accidentally damaged another kid in the face with a baseball bat, while blindfolded trying to hit a piñata. Except there was no piñata, or blindfold. FML
Today, I was walking around in a park when I passed some kids playing soccer. One of them kicked the ball as hard as he could at me. Luckily, I caught the ball, then I drop-kicked it, intending to say, "Go get it." Instead, it bounced off a nearby tree and hit me in the face. FML
Today, as I was walking home, a friend passed me by on his moped, and sprayed a bunch of silly string at me. Unfortunately, he hit me in the eye, temporarily blinding me. As I stumbled around blind, I accidentally knocked a bunch of 3 year olds off their bikes, causing them to cry. FML
Today, I was playing Ultimate Frisbee and trying to make new friends since I'm new at my college. I was running after an overthrown frisbee for a touchdown. Everyone cheered me on to keep going. I ran full speed into a fence. FML
Today, I was playing tetherball with my younger brother. I get really competitive, so I threw it as hard as I could. It came around and hit me in the face. FML
Today, at my softball game, there was one spot left for center field. The coach had to choose between me or the girl who forgot her glasses and was blind without them. He chose her. FML
Today, I was in the cafeteria at a table near the guy I like. He was playing around with a ball with a couple of his friends. They dropped it, and it rolled over next to my foot. When I bent down to pick it up, I smashed my head against a chair. FML
Today, I was playing tennis with my friend. He hit a ball up high, and I slammed it down, thinking there was no way he would get it. Feeling pretty good about it, I turned around to celebrate. As I turned around, I got smacked in my face. He got it. FML

You must have made his head spin! At which point did he disc-lose to you that he was blind?
AculyAmber 12
eh, you win some, you lose some!

Am I the only one who thinks these grammar Nazis are ridiculous? He missed ONE leter......

If he wasn't wearing goggles and his eyes appeared normal, OP isn't at fault.

41, like my sister, she is considered legally blind but can still a little bit, not much. In order to play catch, we usually use a neon yellow volley ball, so she can see it, we had the same color in a soft ball before, but it was a little too small. But she bikes around confidently, I would bike with her but my legs would fall off LOL

47 I love you for that. 34 I love the grammar Nazis and I fail because I didn't immediately realize you intentionally misspelled letter.

At least you know why he was looking sad. It was bad. Not Ryan Seacrest bad. So feel better. :D

It's ok OP. It's an understandable accident

There's no way OP could've known, but it's still sad for the boy because he must have to deal with it a lot.

Did you just turn a blind eye at first or...

Some jokes are funny, but this just isn't right..

I guess he didn't see it coming

It's not your fault you were just trying to be nice.
keverdeen 14
It's okay, you were trying to cheer him up, which was very nice of you. It's not your fault you didn't know.

I just hope you went over there apologised, explained what happened and talked to the guy then he cheers up, that's what I'm hoping happened...

I assumed he must've, because he found out the kid was blind. For all op knew, the kid could've just been a moron, or really, really bad with reactions! So, he had to have talked the kid but hopefully didn't say, "I know what will cheer you up- there's a super hot chick over there, look!"

You didn't see that one coming, did you? Neither did he.

51 - Are we naming random nouns? Or are we playing that game where somebody says a word and then you have to say the first thing that comes to mind? If so, shed.

I could never imagine being in the kids place. It's so sad to think about never being able to see the world. I hope you took the advantage OP and made a new friend out of an accident like that.

In this case, I assume the kid has some vision, since A. he wasn't wearing glasses. B. He looked when the OP said "hey" (if he were completely blind, he would have just slightly turned his head.). and C. most parent's wouldn't let a completely blind 8 year old go to the park by himself. (I am legally blind too, which is the only reason I look in to this one so deeply.)
Dynosaur_dollie 38
where did it say the boys age? You'd be amazed what some parents allow, although you are likely correct he may have some vision.

Hahaha #72 that's ironic that you can look into this one
