Today, I was sitting on a bus. I'm deaf. An old lady looked very angry at me and started talking. Then she looked like she was screaming. I had to type on my phone that I'm deaf. Apparently, I'd been stepping on her foot. She decided to poke me in the eye and type, "Now you're blind too." FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was sitting on the train when some crazy man started talking to me. I ignored him, and he tapped on my shoulder. He started blabbing and I just pointed to my ears and mouthed, "I'm deaf." He stopped talking. A minute later my phone rang and I answered it without thinking. FML
Today, while on a crowded public bus, a cute girl asked if she could sit next to me. Problem is, I didn't hear correctly and thought she asked if anyone was sitting next to me. I answered no, causing her to walk off angrily and earning me several disgusted stares from other passengers. FML
Today, while sitting in a handicapped seat on the bus, an old man angrily approached me and chewed me out in front of everyone for not leaving the seat empty for "those who actually need it." Then he stormed off the bus, stepping heavily on my broken foot. FML
Today, I went to the mall. While shopping in a store, a woman bumped into me numerous times. Getting annoyed, I turned to her and loudly exclaimed, "Are you blind?!" Turns out she was. FML
Today, I was at the airport, when a lady came up and loudly asked if she could sit next to me. I have serious social issues, so to avoid having to talk to her, I pretended I was deaf and couldn't hear her. She immediately broke out her sign language skills. FML
Today, I had my headphones on while on the bus. I didn't realize how loud the music was till the woman sitting next to me punched me for changing her favorite song and then "ignoring her" when she asked me to put it back. FML
Today, I was sitting on the bus and as I'm quite short my legs were dangling. Some guy, who wasn't looking where he was going, tripped over my foot and went flying. He and everyone else on the bus glared at me like it was deliberate. The man next to me even changed seats in disgust. FML
Today, I was on the bus, heading to work, when the girl beside me started yelling at me, claiming I was staring down her shirt. I did no such thing, but the driver nonetheless stopped the bus and made me get off, all under the withering glares of the other passengers. FML
Today, I was on the bus. I heard a click right before something small hit my cheek. I looked over to see the lady next to me cutting her long, dirty fingernails. The bus was too crowded to move and It was a 20 minute ride to work. FML
Today, I tried helping an old lady with her groceries. When I asked if she needed help she smiled. When I took one of her bags she yelled. I didn't know she was deaf. FML

Omg, that's horrible! I hate it when people are rude. If I were you I'd have flipped her the bird and in ASL told her to watch her big feet.

She sounds like an angry old lady. Not all old ladies are like that, it's only the ones who's kids don't come to visit.

Why did you need to text it on your phone? Unless you're mute too, you could've just verbally told her you're deaf -_-
xH4llucin4teDx 9
If you were mute too, then she could have made you the next Helen Keller. I find this amusing LOL

because the inability to hear what one is saying makes it impossible to speak understandably.

114 - no it doesn't, I know plenty of deaf people who can read lips and are perfectly capable of speaking coherently. A lot of deaf people go to voice classes when they are young and learn to speak. Point is, If you don't know what you're talking about you're better off just shutting up so you don't look like a damn fool.

That's very incorrect...

Actually Helen Keller could speak.

Oh lord, the ignorance. First;, Hellen Keller was Deaf and Blind (you will recall from movies, she said 'water' and other words). Second; some Deaf people are born that way others go Deaf later in life due to illness and may already have learned to speak. Third; speech classes are commonly forced on young Deaf children by hearing parents and some speech is not uncommon.

111, deaf people can't always talk because they can't hear the sounds they're forming. When they do talk, it can be hard to understand unless they're practiced.

Some deaf people's voices can be hard to understand (mine included).It takes years of speech therapy. The person who wrote this FML might not have been comfterble with her voice.
