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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

It was an honest mistake OP, it's not as though you threw the frisbee at him knowing he couldn't see it. Don't beat yourself up too much, a lot of people wouldn't even make that kind of effort with someone who is blind or they didn't know.

It would have been bad enough that your frisbee hit him square in the face, but now you also have to deal with the fact he was blind. That's quite a pickle you've gotten yourself into, OP.

As long as OP went over and explained the situation and apologises and makes sure the guy's okay, then there's no need for OP to beat herself up about it.

Your effort is appreciated. Too bad you couldn't have known.

It's still a conversation starter! Talk to him :)

You threw the frisbee lightly. So at least it didn't smack his face hard.

I bet he wondered why the frisbee was getting bigger... And then it hit him.

shame he couldn't see it though

...is this real? Did you seriously just make that "joke?"

Normally the white cane or dog is a tell because I don't see a blind kid sitting all by himself.
SlapAndTickle 20
Yes because most of those canes don't fold up and everyone who takes a dog to the park must be blind.
IGaveRickUp 15
Yeah. It would just be wild and crazy to take a dog out for a walk, without any sight problem.

I'm blind and the last time I took my seeing-eye dog for a walk in the park, he chewed through his leash and ran away.... = I can't be 100% sure, but I'm pretty sure I got a look of weird looks from a bunch of people when I was walking around yelling "Slimy" (my dog's name is/was slimy. my little sister named it)

There's a blind girl who's always at my local off leash park whose dog loves to play catch. It's only half trained and tends to abandon her when it sees a Frisbee.

A. What guide dog school did you go to? That dog should have been a drop out long before he was given out. B. What guide dog school let's people name their own guide dogs? Most schools have a pool of names, and each litter of bread uppies is assigned a letter grouping. I know this because A. I am legally blind. B. My girlfriend has a guide dog. C. My girlfriend worked for a Guide Dog school for 3 years. Sorry, I'm calling BS on your entire comment, #54. Please do respond though, I would love to know what guide dog school you were at.

If I was sad, I definitely wouldn't want frisbee's being thrown at me.
Elfkid21 19
Thank you, for letting the world know that when you're sad, everyone is to leave you to wallow in self pity, and NO ONE is to make any attempts to cheer you up!well, "give them what they ask for", right?

jeez 53 who pissed in your cereal? i wouldnt want frisbees thrown at me either if i was just sitting quietly on my own in the park.
xStaciexLynnx 15
That's exactly what I was thinking. If I was upset and someone threw a frisbee at me, I'd throw it back and move to a place away from the frisbee game. Plus if you're sitting on a park bench alone relaxing you will probably look sad because it would be awkward to be sitting there smiling at nothing.

Well, he certainly didn't see that coming, but neither could you. Accidents happen, OP.
