Today, I was helping some mental health patients at work, I spent 20 mins to fail to connect the DVD player to the TV and went back to make them something to eat. I came back into the room after 5 mins and one of the patients had connected it for himself. He has a profound learning disability. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, while teaching my class, I hooked my laptop up to the projector and put on a documentary. I left it playing and went to the toilet. When I came back, the whole class was talking to my mother. She must've Skyped me while I was gone and someone answered the call. FML
Today, I was trying to turn on my computer and couldn't. I spent twenty minutes trying to figure out what was wrong when I finally called my husband for help and made him leave work. He came in, looked at the wall, and plugged it back in. The look on his face said it all. FML
Today, I'm self isolating with a mother who hogs the remote but doesn't know how to use it, and is so short-sighted she can barely see the TV. Every five minutes, I hear, "What have I done now?", "How have I got onto this then?" and she won't let me help her. FML
Today, I stood there for 10 minutes trying to fix the toaster, until I called my brother to help me. I'd forgotten that it wasn't plugged in. He now thinks I'm a complete idiot. FML
Today, a patient, who is normally pretty chill, was being quite difficult for my workmates. They were whinging about him and I defended him, he's normally a sweet guy so something must be upsetting him. I went to chat with him, he punched me and called a useless a**hole. FML
Today, I was working at the hospital and it was very busy. Unthinking, I told a patient in a wheelchair to "sit tight" while I checked on something. He mocked me for the rest of his stay. FML
Today, I was driving home from a long day at work fixing people's electronics. When I got home, I got a call from work saying I needed to go back and help a customer with their TV again. When I got there, after an hour of driving, I realized I'd accidentally kicked the power cord out. FML
Today, in Home Ec, I struggled to open the microwave for almost 10 minutes in front of the whole class. FML
Today, I was going to the bathroom at work. Since I knew it would take a while, I brought my iPod in for entertainment. To bad it disabled me from hearing the continuous knocks on the door as well as the manager eventually picking the lock and busting in. FML
Today, while working at a nursing home, I was alone in the station and figured I could sneak one out. It wound up being very loud, and I could hear the faint snickering of a patient in the next room. Every time he saw me for the rest of the day he would burst out laughing. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

maybe the person with a learning disability also had mental health problems? Some people are so quick to judge on here :s

It's not that hard. If it's your standard Red Yellow White connection, you match the colors. If it's the High-Def Red Yellow White Green Blue Purple, then you match the colors too. If it's an HDMI cable, then you plug that in right side up. Are you really that stupid?

dude people with learning disabilities and shit can be extremely logical and figure things out.

It sucks that you can't connect a simple DVD player, white goes to white, red to red, yellow to yellow. I doubt it's in HD, so there's not much to do. If it isn't like that, then it's ******* easier.

#9 was waaay too harsh, the OP never used the word retard. But he did say the guy has a profound learning disability yet he either was able to learn how to hook a DVD player up, or taught himself. To put it simply, he got owned by someone slow within technology.

that thing should even be a problem for that patient, I figured out how to connect a DVD/R the first time I saw one. white, goes into white, red goes into red, yellow goes into yellow and you only need to figure out the power chord.
