Today, I attempted to be nice and hold a door open for a person in a wheelchair. He hit the button to open another door. While I pointed out that I would hold the door for him, I realized that the door I was holding open for him led down some stairs. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I tried to be nice and held a door open for someone. I didn’t realize they were actually far away, so I ended up awkwardly standing there for 30 seconds while they power-walked towards me. FML
Today, I saw a woman struggling to hold the elevator. Trying to be helpful, I jumped forward and pressed the “close doors” button, thinking it was “open doors.” The doors shut right in her face. I had to awkwardly ride up ten floors in silence with three witnesses. FML
Today, while holding the door open for a stranger, I thought I was being polite. She walked through, smiled at me, and said, "Thanks, but you didn’t have to follow me into the bathroom." I hadn’t noticed the door led to the restroom. FML
Today, as I got into an elevator, I spotted a little old lady hobbling desperately to get on. I frantically tapped on the 'door open' button but the doors closed. I got dirty looks from the people in the lift, only then did I realise I had frantically tapped the 'door close' button instead. FML
Today, I was trying to be polite by holding the door for an elderly lady in a shop. What I didn’t realise was that the doors were automatic. I ended up standing there awkwardly for a good 5 seconds, holding onto thin air, while she just smiled and walked by. A bloke behind me said, “The doors don’t need your help, mate.” FML
Today, a woman yelled at me for holding a door open for her. FML
Today, I was walking out of a Starbucks and saw someone walking out behind me. Thinking it would be the nice thing to do, I held the door open. I was holding the door for about 30 seconds before realizing I was holding the door for my own shadow. FML
Today, I held a door open for a sweet old lady with a walker. After she went through the door, she turned and said, "That's not how you're gonna get into my pants, son." FML
Today, I held the door open for someone and he said, "Thank you!" I said, "Thank you!" back. FML
Today, I got in an elevator at a hotel. Just as the door was closing, somebody banged into the door and stuck their hand through. I yelled, "What, are you retarded?!" The doors then opened to reveal a mentally handicapped boy with his parents standing behind him. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

It's the thought that counts?

it was still a nice thought :) kinda don't see how it's a fml though, maybe the guy in the wheelchair should make a fml saying, "today, someone tried holding a door open for me seeing that I am in a wheelchair. I then noticed the stairs and quickly realized it wasn't a nice gesture at all when they just wanted to watch me fall down the stairs."

dont make fun of disabled people! they can't even stand up for themselves!
gibby1235 6
actually you'd probably be surprised at what disabled people can do. and please don't take my pic offensive or anything because I've had it since I created my account (which was like a year or two ago) and i didn't think I'd be in an fml like this. and sorry to those who do take it offensively.

That's terrible but you apparently need to check next time. Sounds like what happened to me today, I tried letting this creepy dude cross the street so he didn't have to wait forever for the traffic to pass cause he was on a bike and he said mouthed no to me and did the sign no with his hand.

YDI for not being observant. YDI for trying to help others. YDI for not staying home.

yd to be taught a lesson . we all should help each other
moonlight_daze 8
If the OP had been more observant, this wouldn't have happened. If the OP hadn't decided to help a fellow human being, this wouldn't have happened. If the OP had stayed home in bed, this wouldn't have happened. Ya dig?
