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?

Thank you! Someone gets it.

yeah, because it is SSOO uncommon to wear sun glasses while at the park

Is 33 trying to communicate?

I take it the "I'm blind" 3d goggle looking shades aren't the universal sign of a blind person?
Polynomial 28
@33 @67 No. A. Dark glasses in a park, not uncommon. B. Not all blind people are completely blind, and he may have functional, yet limited, vision. In this case, the blacked out glasses (or sleep shades) would have been detrimental to his safety and health. C. They make foldable and telescopically retracting canes. When I get to somewhere where I'll be sitting for a long time, I typically fold mine up, and a little kid would likely put his in his backpack.

Common mistake OP. apologize and explain to him the situation. I'm sure he will understand.
souljacker 11
Aye, loads of people hit blind people in the coupon with frisbees. It's happening everywhere.

Never even saw it coming
puzzy 13
That is seriously heart breaking.
snugglesMcGee199 23
That sucks OP, but next time, try yelling "look out". Just so you can avoid accidents like these. You seem like a nice person and I'm sure the kid appreciated the effort.
CharresBarkrey 16
Seriously? Yell "look out" to a blind kid?
monnanon 14
op didnt know the kid was blind. and blind people do not care if you say the words look or see to them.
deigo10 17
Sorry to hear that OP! Don't feel bad, there was no way you could have known!
bosox29 14
Just like everyone else has already stated, you didn't know. I will commend you for trying though most people wouldn't care enough to put effort into a situation like this. *applause*

You could not know (I agree with the other comments), not your fault, just FYL and an FML for the poor blind boy. Why people click on YDI on this one ??
