Today, I went to go use an automatic cart in Walmart because I broke my hip in January. They were all being used by morbidly obese people throughout the store. I asked a manager if she could get me one, but apparently their weight issues are more impeding than my broken hip. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my lazy, obese mother took the last motor cart at the grocery store. My leg is in a cast. She told me to "use the shopping cart to help with the limp" as she rolled away. FML
Today, when I went to the shopping centre, the automatic door wouldn't open for me. I had to stand there and wait until someone else walked by to open it for me. I have dwarfism and this is a daily occurrence. FML
Today, I had to explain to a lady at Walmart that my mom, who is rather big-boned, actually suffers from fibromyalgia and arthritis, which is why she has to use motor carts. She didn't believe us, and called my mom "selfish". This is a common occurrence. FML
Today, being near-broke, I resorted to shopping at Walmart. Barely ten minutes in, an obese sack of lard posing as a human being shoved me away from the bacon I was looking at. I fell, busted my lip, then got screamed at by another woman for not watching where I was going. FML
Today, I drove my dad to Walmart to do some shopping. His leg is still in a cast after an accident, so I helped him to the last mobility scooter. A guy whose only disability was clearly Fat-Fuck Syndrome then yelled at us, claiming he needed it more and that my dad was a faker. FML
Today, I was in Walmart on a motorized cart and got stuck on a clothing rack next to a super hot guy. Panicking, I said "I just had surgery, I'm a new driver." After failing to get myself unstuck he had to pull the clothes rack and I apart. FML
Today, I was at Walmart. A guy in a mobility scooter bumped into me, then told me to "get the fuck out of the way." When I told him to watch his mouth, he got up and shoved me into a shelf. Just a few minutes prior, he'd yelled that he was paralyzed from the waist down. FML
Today, I walked into the gym to do legs and walked up to the leg press machine where a trainer was taking weights off. I asked him if he was about to use the machine and he gave me an odd look and said no, then walked back to his client who was in a wheelchair. FML
Today, my co-workers agreed that I was the one causing the elevator to be over its weight limit. When I protested, saying that I only weigh around 150 pounds, one asked me if that included the weight of my wheelchair. They made me get out. FML
Today, I ordered food at McDonald's. I'm on crutches, and a guy offered to carry my tray to the table. He rushed out with my food. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

That's happened to me before. Right after I got out of the hospital from surgery I had to wait after some fat ass who needed a motorized cart. People like that seriously don't give a shit. They looked at me and saw that I was probably more able to walk because I didn't have 300lbs hanging over my body.

Why do fat people need motorized carts? Can't they just like, roll?

It is dumb that people use them just to be lazy. However they only have so many motorized carts and can't force a person ( lazy or not) off of it for somebody else.

i hate everybody whos all "OMFG fat people might have gland issues dont judge!" i have honestly never met anyone with gland issues making them fat.i HAVE met thousands of people with their food eating issues making them fat. get on a treadmil, fatties, and off the carts for the disabled.

Firstly you're pretty rude. I reckon you got what you deserved. Assuming that all obese people are that way because of their eating habits is just plain ignorant. My mother is obese, and the reason for it is she suffers from Post-Polio Syndrome (if you had a brain you'd know what that is). She is in constant pain, can't take more than 20 steps without risking falling over and shattering her already messed up knees, or hurting her spine which is already calcified. Contrary to your beliefs she doesn't sit around all day eating mcdonalds, burger king and the like. Yes, some bigger people do have plain bad food habits, but to assume every single person overweight in a scooter/cart is that way because they gorge is just plain stupid. It's like someone looking at you and saying 'oh wow, they're ugly! must be a really horrible person!'. How about not being so judgemental next time?

Can't the fat people just . . . roll? Idk, I'm not fat. It's not like they can die from walking and pushing cart. OP could have seriously gotten hurt from walking with a broken/ mending bone.

I hate far people so much, there should be a law someone who's injured should be put before a obese person

I know exactly what that is like. I had a bypass surgery on my leg and when I went to Walmart I went to get one of the carts but a largely obese woman took one look at me and sat down on the cart and made a comment about how I am at least twenty years younger than her and should be able to walk just fine. I had to hobble through the stores with over twenty stitches behind my knee and about fifteen stitches on my inner thigh.

I'm not sure i understand. Wouldn't it make more sense for these "morbidly obese" people to be walking about? Won't a motorised cart just make them.. er.. fatter? I would give up the cart. I feel for you, OP. (:
