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?

My dad had his entire thyroid removed due to a condition and he is not overweight.

I said it before and I'll say it again, to use those carts I think you should have some special sign out thing at walmart and only people with a valid health issue can use them not just because they're too fat & unfit to walk across the store it's pathetic

I broke my hip when I was 13. 36 years later, I had a hip replacement--which I should have had 10 years earlier. "I appeared too young for a replacement." I had trouble walking, was in constant pain & my limited activity packed on the pounds. I worked full time, but life become limited outside of work. I hated using those carts. I hated how judgmental people are. the weight is coming off as my ability to be active improves. Give your hip time & you will be the "fatty" in the motorized cart.

Sadly, Walmart, nor any other retail or other company, can legally ask a person to get off of a power kart unless they are violating policies (such as exceeding the weight limit on them). If they do, they will be open to a huge lawsuit. I've only once seen someone asked to get off of one. Before they did, their fatness had already broken two of the wheels.

IMO, there are Fat people and their are Obese people. Obese people have a condition that makes it easy to gain weight and/or hard to lose weight. A Fat person is someone who eats their way into the party ball shape. I have respect and sympathy for Obese people. Fat people get laughed at.

If I lived in the southern states.... That's a lotta good food... I wouldn't mind being fat. But no, I live in California and fat people scare the shit outta me. Whoohoo for crazy stupid diet plans and over extensive workouts! ... Just thought I'd roll along with the stereo types... Go Anorexia and Bulimea!
