Lost

By wideman - This FML is from back in 2009 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, I was at church and saw a blind teenager who obviously looked lost. Feeling like I should help, I went over and asked if he needed anything. He said, "I can't find my caretaker." I asked, "What does she look like?" FML

It's a normal question anyone would ask, without thinking. I'm sure it didn't upset him. Not a big deal.

Tee hee. Although, it wouldn't surprise me if he did know what his caretaker looked like. He may have known a brief description, for situations like this. Still funny though. :D

Next remember to say "What does she feel like?" XD

A professionial that takes care of people unable to care for themselves (ex. Mental diseases, disabilities, etc.)

Simple mistake. Your intentions were good, and he probably knew your weren't trying to be a smartass by the tone of your voice. ^_^

he should have a basic idea of what the person looks like, so that you can spot that person, and help him. unFYL. its all good. :)

It's a normal question for someone to ask a person who can't find a companion, and, since the guy was a teenager, I'm sure he is used to it. If not, then his parents sheltered him WAY too much. It's not like you went "Haha you can't see!"

It's funny how things like that just fly out of your mouth. Still funny though xD

smooth...but probably not that big a deal, how'd he react afterwards?
