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.

I find it hard for the kid! If I was the parents I would have pulled the plug and saved the poor bastard all this misery and insult!

Having a stroke does not mean that he went into a coma or required life support, it means the blood supply to the brain was disturbed which resulted in part of the brain being damaged. For all we know, there was no plug to pull. Besides that, he doesn't deserve to have his life ended because of facial and speech difficulties at times. It isn't something that will prevent him having a good life full of happiness even if it annoys him at times and confuses strangers. Hell, for all we know, he has a brilliant life full of sunshine and rainbows and bacon. This woman wasn't even trying to insult him, she merely imitated him and then asked a question and got a surprising response which makes her regret imitating him. Also, since I doubt you have a child, you have NO IDEA what you would do if your son had a stroke. What you are saying you would do on here is completely different from what you would do in reality, because realistically? You wouldn't pull the plug if your son had a stroke and went into a coma. You would wait for as long as it takes for him to wake up even if you knew he would be partially paralysed and if there was no chance of him waking up, you would only pull the plug reluctantly because good parents NEVER want to let their kids go when there is a chance for them to be okay and happy and ALIVE.

Ydi for not just asking... I mean it doesn't sound like he was too offended, buuuut, it's never a good idea to do something like that back unless it is 100% obvious that they're making the motion to you.
