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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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?

don't play with wheelchairs! what would you do if you broke 'em? but this isn't an FML, you just said what you were thinking, i hope the wheelchair dude got that. but you could've said it discreetly

look, #46, no one was trying to personally offend you by saying the OP should have been more careful with his words in the hospital. we're not saying everyone in a wheelchair is at the hospital, but we are saying that there are probably a lot more people with disabilities at the hospital than you would normally run across in the general population. and actually, a lot of disabilities ARE medical issues. you know, like if someone broke their leg/neck/pulled a muscle or some other injury that would cause them to be placed in a wheelchair. those usually require some time in a hospital/doctor's office. so while we're all proud of your many many amazing accomplishments, get over yourself.

This is not a FML..stop looking for pity. You screwed up now deal with it. You were aware you were in a hospital so you should have been sensitive and careful to what ever ignorant things might have come out of your mouth.

i would rather be intelligent and "crippled" than asinine. 56, i'm not saying i'm an amazing person but disabilities are a social issue. i spend more time figuring out how to get into a building with stairs or planning an accessible route because the busses and subways are unequipped for my wheelchair than i do in a hospital. and for everyone who hates cripples, i will gladly welcome you to the community when you turn 70 or 80 and need a wheelchair, become hard of hearing or blind, and need someone to take care of you. people have to start caring about the lives of people with disabilities because, chances are, eventually everyone in their lifetime will develop a disability. just a little bit of disability theory for you.
