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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

ugh, why do people let themselves go so much? I mean I used to weight 225 pounds, but I could still pull up my boxers. It's like they don't care about themselves.

for some people, it involves alot more than just being a lazy ass... thyroid, hormone, and metabolism comes into play too.

My metabolism is glacially slow, but I know that, so I don't eat more then my metabolism allows. I struggle with my weight but, I always keep it under control. Proud size 00

Even if it isn't medical everyone has their vice. Some gamble, drink, sleep around, spend too much money, work too much etc....we all try to comfort ourselves today in modern society with something or the other. Food is just one of the many. Im sure you have a vice that you wouldn't admit to.

Sweetie, I think you should talk to someone about your "weight problem". I'm not trying to sound condescending at all so please don't take this the wrong way! I think your concerns may be skewed though. You just mentioned struggling to control your weight because of a slow metabolism but then say you're a 00? I think you should talk to your health care provider. Please.

I'm still trying to figure out what the woman does when there's nobody around. Honestly, she couldn't go anywhere alone then I'd guess, because you'd have to face this problem every time you went to the bathroom. Even at home. I totally see your discomfort here, but at least you did the right thing instead of just walking out.

#29 I agree with you completely. It was nice of you to help the old lady but there is no need to call her such terrible things. Yes, she may have been really obese and yes it was a really terrible situation but you don't need to call her those things. You chose to help her, can't you just leave it at that? Yes, I KNOW it wasn't fun but you really, REALLY helped someone. I'm really glad you helped her but there is no need to call her those things and by doing so it severely diminishes the level of kindness you presented in the situation in my eyes.

I don't see why she can't call an obese person obese. It's like someone calling me a 'weak girl' and I'd be offended. Well no, I am weak and I am a girl. Just call people what they are. Also, if the FML didn't include a word like fat, obese or overweight, no one would get it. And no, overweight is not 'more nice'. It means less fat than obese - which the woman probably wasn't. I agree that there might be a lot of reasons like illnesses that would make this happen... but that would make it less embarrassing to ask someone to come with her to the toilet.

You were nice, until you started bitching about doing it. So YDI, because you seem like a Jackass and a half.

I agree with #40, either do something nice and stfu or don't do it at all.
