Today, I was visiting my sick grandmother in the hospital when my cousin and I were playing in some empty wheelchairs. After goofing off I said, "They're fun, but I would kill myself if I was in a wheelchair." A little boy rounded the corner and said, "Tell me about it." He was in a wheelchair. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was taking the elevator down with a group of people. It stopped on the 2nd floor and I said "What asshole can't take the steps from the 2nd floor?" Then a kid in a wheelchair got on. FML
Today, I was at the Salvation Army when I saw a wheelchair in the miscellaneous aisle. I thought it would be fun to ride around in it. As I was wheeling it back to where I found it, I made it back just as it's owner was hobbling out of the dressing room. FML
Today, I visited with my cousin on her deathbed. When I asked what she was doing, they replied that she was sleeping. Next thing out my mouth without thinking was, "She can sleep when she's dead." FML
Today, my 6 year-old daughter saw a man in a wheelchair whose leg had been amputated. She walks up to him and says, "What happened?" He answers kindly that he's a war veteran. She then responds, "Well then you deserve to get your leg blown off. You shouldn't be killing people." FML
Today, I was brutally run over by a man in a wheelchair. FML
Today, I went on a field trip with some people from school. I'm currently confined to a wheelchair, so I had to rely on my sister to get around. She eventually went off with her friends, assuming that the people nearby would keep me company. Five minutes later, they'd all left me. FML
Today, I worked up the confidence to go to the mall alone for the first time since being confined to a wheelchair. It didn't even take 20 minutes before some teenager grabbed my wheelchair and tried to race me around, all while his friends watched and laughed. FML
Today, I was working at a hospital-level rest home. I was making the rounds when I noticed a woman was sitting in her (electric) wheelchair in the middle of the hall. Going closer, I saw her battery was flat so I said, "Uh-oh! Looks like you've died." She bawled her eyes out and said, "Not yet." FML
Today, I was talking to my only grandson about how I was going to the dentist to get my teeth fixed and how it was going to cost a lot of money, he replied saying "Who cares, you're going to die soon anyways". FML
Today, I made fun of my friend when she tripped over the curb. I said, loudly, "Haha, you can't even walk." I then notice the man in the wheelchair a few feet ahead of us. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

wow why would you ever say that when you're in a hospital? That poor kid.... they already know that they are going to miss out on things because of there immobility, no need to remind them!

why should he take more caution or expect people in wheelchairs to be crawling (or more accurately, wheeling) around hospitals? i am in a wheelchair and moved from pennsylvania to california for college by myself and certainly don't live in a hospital. i have a 3.8 gpa at stanford and i don't think anyone here, or myself, want me to commit suicide. i am sick of people looking at disabilities as a medical issue when in reality it is a social problem, as shown by this ignorant comment. i don't hear anyone say "if i were poor/ a woman/ insert any disadvantaged minority i would kill myself." why do people have such a negative and piteous view of people with disabilities? i live an incredible life and hope to accomplish things people with or without a disability would be proud of.

he might have just be being wheeled out of the hospital (theyre required to do that even if you can walk) or maybe he was just playing around with them himself. idk

you're an idiot. watch what you say when you're in a hospital. you shouldn't be messing around with the wheelchairs anyway.

at least he seemed to have a sense of humor about it.
