Today, I worked up the confidence to go to the mall alone for the first time since being confined to a wheelchair. It didn't even take 20 minutes before some teenager grabbed my wheelchair and tried to race me around, all while his friends watched and laughed. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, while walking in the mall, I had two people race past me in wheelchairs. Thinking they were racing, I started rooting for the one guy that was ahead. Turns out his wheelchair was malfunctioning and the other was chasing after to help. He then slammed and fell into the water fountain. FML
Today, I went on a field trip with some people from school. I'm currently confined to a wheelchair, so I had to rely on my sister to get around. She eventually went off with her friends, assuming that the people nearby would keep me company. Five minutes later, they'd all left me. FML
Today, I have MS, and while I was in a grocery store a couple followed me through the store, making fun of my disability and the way I walked. FML
Today, at the age of 16, I'm recovering from hip surgery. My friends took me out to the movies to cheer me up. They thought it would be hilarious to steal my crutches and leave me stranded and alone in the mall, multiple times. It wasn't. FML
Today, I went to a bar which has two stories. I was on the top floor and then went downstairs. As I was going down, I recognised a boy in a wheelchair and his friends trying to get him up. I helped and took the wheelchair. One of his friends decided it would be a good moment to steal my wallet. FML
Today, I was at the Salvation Army when I saw a wheelchair in the miscellaneous aisle. I thought it would be fun to ride around in it. As I was wheeling it back to where I found it, I made it back just as it's owner was hobbling out of the dressing room. FML
Today, I was brutally run over by a man in a wheelchair. 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, for the first time ever, I had a bout of vertigo in the middle of a mall. It went so very nicely with my crushing loneliness. FML
Today, a guy grabbed my ass at the mall. I whirled around and went to sock him. He ducked and I accidentally hit the elderly woman standing behind him in the face. To say all hell broke loose would be an understatement. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

What a bunch of disrespectful pieces of shit. I'm sorry you had to deal with that, OP.

This has to be one of the most ****** up FMLs I've seen. I can't even comprehend why anyone would do that. I'm so sorry OP! I hope your faith in humanity hasn't completely vanished, though it's understandable if it has...

seriously who the hell raises these kids to have so little respect?!!!
ThrottleJockey 36
That's just it; parents no longer "raise" their children, they "befriend" them instead and try to be the cool parents.
Dale_shackleford 13
Raise is such a harsh word. Actually, so is parents. Maybe we shouldn't parent kids, but be their "emotional support life friends" after all, if we don't positively reinforce their bad behavior, who will?
Reider022 16
Ya you should positively reinforce their bad behaviour or who else is going to race the kids around in wheelchairs huh ¯_(ツ)_/¯ ...

I took 60s comment as pure sarcasm, and I really hope I'm right.
Vlen_fml 20
I also thought it was sarcasm, i think most of us did, thats why he has 5 downvotes and not 500
Ilayda_fml 12
I agree with your comment. But there Are sure parents out there, who raise their children normal and in a good way, but the kids Are just dumb and... you know what i mean, don't you? Im sorry if u dont understand, english is not my mother tongue :)

I blame the nanny states for banning a simple smack in the ass as punishment.

It's pretty bad, but it's better than the abstinence only sex-ed class causing a teen pregnancy.

120- I noticed your comment and since that was my FML, I just wanted to tell you my thoughts about it: I find this to be much more ****** up. My situation may have sucked, but what was done to OP goes way beyond that. What was done to him was so cruel; so much so that, like Vitani_Verci, I can't even comprehend why anyone would or how anyone could do something like that.

I'm curious now what FML are you talking about?
nickie_94 18
Did no one try to help you? The whole situation sounds horrible

I hope you called the police, surely this can be taken as assault? What goes on in somebody's mind to terrorize another human being this way?! What the actual ****!?
interesting33 37
Yes or a hate crime or even kidnapping
Vlen_fml 20
I think those are a little extreme for this situation, but its definitely a case of hazing.
Boopycat 15
It's definitely abduction and I hope OP filed a police report.
Colon_Man 17
And, if the teens are foreigners, it could be Alien Abduction!
mareike 16
Wow, what in earth? If I would have seen that, these kids would have gotten a hell of lecture. How can somebody so disrespectful and so bad raised? They never learned to respect somebody, doesn't matter if they are in a wheelchair or not.
OlRed 28
Lecture? I was thinking more along the lines of a belt, A baseball bat, A gun... OK the last one may be extreme but definitely one of the other two.
Jay18 22
replace lecture with belt and hands and you're exactly right
alicecooperfan 18
Wow, that is incredibly disrespectful. I'm sorry, OP.
abbyade 21
Some teenagers are idiot. Why do that?? There's just no need. Sorry you went through that OP, don't let this stop you from having a social life and going places. Some people just need to grow up.
QueenBii 14
I think I just saw all of my faith in humanity go out the door. Sorry, OP!
itsallabootily 17
I will never understand why people feel the need to belittle other people for things that are completely out of their control. Those kids are so rude and disrespectful. I'm sorry you had to go through that OP.
