Today, while I was walking home, I noticed an elderly man in a wheel chair trying to paint his garage so I went over to help. His response was verbal abuse and a slap to the face with a wet paint brush. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, while buying paint, I began to help an elderly woman working to lift some heavy boxes. She told me what a nice young lady I was. Then her boss came over, screamed at her for being lazy and fired her. She cried. So did I. FML
Today, I saw an elderly lady fall over in the street. Nobody bothered to do anything, so I went over and helped her up. Instead of thanking me, she called me a pervert and slapped me around with her cane. FML
Today, my elderly neighbour was having some kind of house party. It was incredibly loud, so I went and asked if he could tone it down a little. He responded by grabbing a deck chair, smacking me with it, then chasing me back to my house, all while his guests cheered him on. FML
Today, I saw an old man struggling with three bags, so I offered to carry them for him. He must not have heard me because when I bent down to take the bags, he thought I was stealing them and punched me in the face. FML
Today, I saw an old man who needed help crossing the street. I went over to him and helped him across the street. When he thanked me, I said, "No problem, sir." They responded by hitting me in the happy sacks and screaming that they were a woman. FML
Today, while volunteering at a local museum, I politely told an elderly gentleman to have a nice day. He responded by yelling "NO" and storming off. Everyone looked at me like I was some sort of monster. FML
Today, I helped my hoarder grandfather clean out his garage. Not only did I step on a nail, I also slipped in a puddle of used oil that's been sitting out for two years, and broke my nose. He didn't pay me since I wasn't able to finish the job. FML
Today, while walking home with my boyfriend, he jokingly slapped my butt. A man as old as my dad drove by, yelled "Wooo, spank that ass! DAMN!" and kept leering at me before finally driving off. FML
Today, I was working on a client's roof. Some neighborhood kids thought it would be hilarious if they knocked over my ladder. I was stuck on this roof in serious heat. I caught the attention of a pedestrian to come to my rescue. It was a little old lady. She gave me the finger and left. FML
Today, I told a guy he should be ashamed of himself for parking in a handicapped space. He hit me with his prosthetic leg. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

It wasn't his garage wall, it was his friends. Give him some slack, he's just getting into Facebook and took the whole 'writing on your wall' to heart.

LMAO. YDI. Don't treat old people like they're mentally retarded or something, they can do things themself.

OP didn't treat the old dude retarded, just offered assistance to an elderly man. Read the post before you make comments like that.

But would he have asked a young guy if he needed help? No. So he showed the man disrespect by implying that he is incapable of doing things himself. OP was merely trying to be nice so he didn't deserve it, but he still should have thought it through more.

when u reach 60+ terrorizing younglings is a well earned and joyous pastime. I'm practicing early on at 18...I swear they think I'm Satan himself.

That's what you get for trying to be nice.

the guy could have been nice about it and just said no thank you rather than being a dick about it.

You thank him for that! He's been through Vietnam, bitch!

And you know this how? are you related to him? Besides, she was just being nice. He could be unable to get out of his wheelchair for all we know and not be able to get the top part.
