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?

Uh if she couldn't pull them up how did she get them down in the first place? even if this were true YDI because it's creepy to ask why someone's crying in a bathroom

That happened to me once while I was working at Culver's. It was nice of you to help, but I don't think that its a FML. Just saying, once in a while people need help. If you get to be that way some day, you wouldn't like people to bitch about you needing help pulling your underwear over your 'old fat lady ass'. Next time you're nice, try not to bitch about it.

And i don't think sombody calling somone else "obese" or "old-lady" is that terrible, even if it is true. And as long as she didn't do it to her face. I mean comon, if you were in the same situation with limited writing space i think she wrote it well. thats my opinion anyway.

This FML made me really sad :( It would have been horrible to be that lady - you did a nice thing, I hope karma pays up! but I can't help wondering if #26 is right - how could she have gotten them on in the first place?

Wow . . . I'm not sure what I would have done in that case. I kind of want to think that I would have helped, and because I'm such a freaking pushover, I probably would have, but only if I had actually asked "are you okay in there" and gotten an answer. If I hadn't asked, I know that I would at least let a worker know that someone was having a breakdown in their bathroom. You are a saint for doing that!

This is not an act of virute. This is an act of self-righteous pity. Most of you disgust me. Learn the difference. FAIL

Next time ask her who she is with and then go find that person to help her instead. If she is old and obese, her family or friends who know her better will probably be there. You never know what her condition is, whether she can or cannot support her own weight or if she has a sickness, and therefore wouldn't want to be held responsible if something goes wrong. There is still respect in asking for someone who knows her but you have no responsibility over her. It was very nice of you but not the only thing you could've done to help her.
