Pleased to meet you

By Holls - 12/04/2012 13:47 - United Kingdom - Bristol

Today, I met a guy while out with some friends. He kept blowing up his cheeks, so I did it back to him and asked him why he did it. He pulled out a card from his wallet and pointed at it. It was a card saying he may have speech or facial difficulties because he had a stroke when he was 12. FML

Today, I received a text from my dad, which was borderline-incomprehensible due to an insane amount of text language. I replied, jokingly asked if he had a stroke while writing it. A few seconds after hitting send, I remembered the stroke he suffered last month. FML

Today, I got punched by a man for making fun of his stutter. I didn't. I stutter too. FML

Today, I went on a date with a guy and he kept winking at me. I thought it was really sweet until later that night he told me he had Tourette's. FML

Choked

Today, I went out to eat with friends. My crush was also at the restaurant with his friends. He smiled at me as I took a mouthful of food, and I choked. The waitress had to perform the Heimlich maneuver on me, while he and his friends fell off their chairs laughing. FML

Today, I was at a café with my friends when an elderly man noticed my dimples. He came up to me, stroked them while whispering, "One in a million" then walked out. Now my friends do this to me constantly, even while driving home. I almost hit a tree. FML

Today, while out for lunch, a guy approached me and asked for my number. I politely declined. To my dismay, he dropped to his knees, grabbed his head, and started moaning about how nobody ever gives him a chance. I felt the accusing stares. FML

Today, I got slapped by a date because she thought I was making fun of her speech impediment. I wasn't making fun, I just have the same speech impediment. FML

Today, I asked a woman where her beautiful accent was from. The woman stared at me for a while. Then her daughter told me that the reason her mother talked like that was because she had a stroke a few months ago. FML

Today, I went out for a few drinks with some friends. All night, I kept smiling and showing off my newly brace-free teeth. Later on, one of my friends drunkly asked, "Why does she keep smiling? Her teeth are fucking jacked." FML

Today, I was at the park playing Frisbee with my friends, when I saw a boy sitting on a bench looking rather sad. "Hey!" I yelled, and he looked up at me. I lightly threw the Frisbee in his direction, and it hit him in the face. He was blind. FML

I wouldn't worry about it, I mean yeah it's embarrassing for you, but it doesn't sound like he was upset or anything. If anything, it's probably a common occurrence for him.

Did you apologize?

Uhm I would say this is more f his life... You shouldn't be making fun of others anyways. Easy solution: don't make faces and simply ask him why he is "blowing up his cheeks". YDI.

He probably wouldn't have minded if you were just cool about it afterward, it's like the FML from the girl who texted a deaf guy "What's your favourite music?", it was probably a good thing that his deafness wasn't the thing at the forefront of her mind. We shouldn't be scared of accidentally saying the wrong thing, that makes everyone feel awkward, just apologise if you actually offend someone.

Smooth... You'd think the fact that he's randomly puffing up his cheeks wouldn't spark the 'something's different' button in your mind...

ydi. Even if it was unintentional, its still plain rude to go up to a completely random person and start interrogating them while they're minding their own business. Whether it was the side effects of a stroke or not, its still none of your business.

Nothing like sticking your foot in it, but it's better to be human about it than be an asshole on purpose like everyone else:)

It's ok op, from what I read you were not read. I am disabled and I have had people ask me about my problem, I can tell from my point of view it's not hurtful and I like to teach people about what I have. So no worries pet!!
