Today, while waiting on a customer at a restaurant, I accidentally asked a midget if she'd like a children's menu. FML

A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

Today, I was cashier at work. The line came to a stop, but there was still people there. I kept saying next, but no one moved. I finally looked over the counter where there was a lady who had been standing there the whole time. She was a midget. FML

Sorry, I didn't mean…
Today, I asked a girl at the restaurant I work at if she'd had enough to eat. When she said yes, I said, "Are you sure?" I didn't realize how insulting it sounded until her equally overweight mom was up in my face, demanding to see my manager. FML

Today, my friends and I go to a bar and get wasted. I walk around and see a kid. I start yelling, "There's a child in this bar! There's a CHILD in this BAR!" She turns around. She was a midget. FML

Today, at work, I bumped into what looked like a small child and said, "Sorry, little man". Turns out he actually was a little person. FML

Today, I asked a table at a restaurant if there's anything I could get out of their way and they replied, "Yeah, you." FML

Today, I was in the supermarket when I saw a little boy trying to reach for something on the top shelf. I went over to him and asked if his mom knew where he was. The boy turned around. He was actually a very angry midget. FML

Today, while I was working at McDonald's, a man and his wife ordered a Sundae. I gave the guy his sundae and realized I'd forgotten something. I said, "One second sir. Let me grab your nuts." I realized what I said when his wife gave me the death glare. FML

Today, after having recently told my 4-year-old daughter that she won't grow big and tall if she doesn't eat her veggies, she decided to pass this wisdom on to a midget that we passed in the store. FML

Wow, that must have been embarrassing for you, but she probably has to put up with that frequently, so I would say f her life. Not for being of short stature, but more for the confusion, jokes, and stares she probably deals with daily.

Apologize, tell her it was an honest mistake and offer her the meal (or drinks, whatever) for free.

Yeah, I would be hugely offended also. Try not to worry too much anyway, life is too short.

I don't think her boss would like it very much if the OP gave free food for a mistake she made...

well its that or they no longer have her business and if need be the girl can pay for the meal

pfft I would just apologize. I really see no need for free food. I'm sure she's used to it, and has heard worse. maybe she laughed at OPs mistake. i don't think free food should be offered. people need to grow up and realize mistakes are made, and need to stop being so sensitive. sheesh

44 is right, Op was probably very busy serving people, and so simply looked at their height. I mean, who really looks at someone who's short, and thinks "Hm, there's a 0.1% chance it could just be a midget, i should probably get a closer look" Simple honest mistake, and since you didn't put that the girl got extremely pissed off at you, or start crying, i'm sure everything will be fine. Free food indeed... tchh. I can't see this happening the other way around if OP gave a very tall child the adult menu...

ahhh geez. midgets don't look like kids, they're just short. YDI.

wow really, they are called little people, not midgets.

Then how do you differentiate between midgets and dwarfs? Personally I'd find little people more insulting than being called a dwarf or midget.

67, since I'm not an expert on "little people", I used "midget" because that's what OP used. I didn't know if there was a difference, or what was offensive and non-offensive.

If it happens again, just ruffle her hair (they love that). That should make it all better! Extra points for baby language.
