Today, I went out to a nice restaurant for my friend's birthday. I went to the bathroom and heard the woman in the other stall crying. She couldn't pull her underwear up over her obese, old-lady ass because her arms don't reach that far anymore. I was the only one there. I had no choice. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was in a public bathroom with the runs when I noticed my stall didn't have any toilet paper. I was the only one in the bathroom, and I thought I could make it to the stall next to me and grab some with my pants down. I wasn't actually the only one in there. FML
Today, I was in a public toilet, enduring an extremely awkward silence between myself and the person in the next stall. In my rush to get out of there, I managed to get my ass stuck in the toilet seat, and ended up being pulled out by the maintenance men. FML
Today, I was waiting in line to use the bathroom. I complained to the guy next to me about how long the lady was taking. I kept making jokes about it, but he never seemed to laugh. Finally, the door opened and out came a lady in a wheelchair. The guy next to me was her husband. FML
Today, I took my brother to the bathroom at a restaurant. The stall next to mine was locked, so I assumed he was still in there. I yelled his name a few times, then banged on the door out of annoyance. I gave up and returned to the table, where he was sitting with a grin. Turns out I just traumatized a poor lady in the stall. FML
Today, I really had to take a shit. My coworker had gone on lunch break and I was alone in the shop. There were no customers, so to the can I went. Cue a long series of loud wet farts and splashes, followed by the flush. I emerged to see the horrified face of some old lady and her grandson who'd heard everything. FML
Today, I was shopping in a mall when I needed to go to the bathroom. One of the toilets was out of order, so I went to the other toilet. After that, there was no toilet paper, so when I saw tissue in the sink, I left the stall with my pants down and someone saw me. FML
Today, I went to the bathroom in a mall. As I was in the stall, a woman tried to open it. I yelled out that's it was occupied but she kept shaking it to open it. It came up to the point where she had to crawl under the door to see that I was there. FML
Today, I really had to pee so I took the only stall that was available in the bathroom: the handicapped stall. A girl in a wheelchair came in seconds later and cursed at me for taking her designated spot. FML
Today, while in a public bathroom, I threw out my back. A stranger had to help me pull up my pants. FML
Today, I had no choice but to use a public bathroom. I have issues going when there are others in the stalls, and apparently another person did as well. We both sat there in silence, waiting stubbornly for the other to give up and leave so we could go. It’s been 20 minutes. FML

I think you did the right thing and this being uncomfortable for you and you not exactly looking for obease half naked ladies to redress in restrooms accompanies the right for you to complain all you want. You did what you had to do in the situation, that doesnt mean you have to like it. Also, helping someone by doing something that you dont want to do means a hell of a lot more than helping someone by doing something that you wanted to do in the first place. good work you!

Get over yourself. Yes, it's an uncomfortable situation. But if you were just going to be a little bitch and insult her later, I'm guessing you didn't make her feel too comfortable in person either. Do you think she wasn't mortified to ask for help in the first place? Don't play the martyr and say you had to do it, if it was going to be so terribly traumatic you could have asked who she was with or asked a member of staff to help. Really, you just come across as a brat here. I can't understand the "Wow, you're so noble, karma 4 u!" comments.

I think that you should be thanking your lucky stars that you're not her. Your life is fine, stop whinging. That woman was obviously mortified, otherwise she wouldn't have been crying. If it was so terrible you could have asked her who she was with. People who are saying you are nice clearly haven't thought about what you said properly. You didn't do it out of good spirit, only because you "had to". Get over yourself.

You had a choice, you just made the right one. I guess. Can't say I'd have helped an old dude pull up his drawers.

you are a far nicer person than me. for real. i would have bolted. i am fully aware that i'm a terrible person already, so it wouldn't really change things.

I think it's both sad, and nice. But, I also think it's not so nice when you write about her in such a bad manner: " She couldn't pull her underwear up over her obese, old-lady ass because her arms don't reach that far anymore." ... That makes you not nice.
