Today, I learned that chivalry truly is dead when a seemingly fit man pushed me into a door to get a seat on the train before me. My leg is in a cast. FML

Today, I got on the subway with a broken leg. A kind woman stood up and offered me her seat. Before I could sit down, a guy shoved past me and took it for himself. The woman and I pointed out my cast and crutches, and asked him to give up the seat. He responded by flipping us off. FML

Today, I held a door open for my boyfriend and jokingly said, "Chivalry is dead?" He responded with, "Who's chivalry?" FML

Today, on my way to school, I was shouted at by an obnoxious businessman for sitting down on the train when a "full fare paying passenger" was standing. I would normally have given him the seat straight away, except I have a broken leg. I showed him my leg and crutches. He still made me get up. FML

Today, a man slapped me in the face with his newspaper because I didn't get out of his way fast enough at the train station. I guess he didn't notice I was on crutches. FML

Today, I went out on a date with a girl for the first time. I opened her car door for her and then slammed her leg in it upon closing. She will be in a cast for 6 weeks. FML

Today, I was told off for not holding the door open for a woman behind me at work. Yesterday I was informed that chivalry is offensive to women, as it implies that they are not equal to men. I can't win. FML

Today, I had to cut short my New Year's resolution of going to the gym daily, when the meathead next to me dropped some heavy weights, which bounced and landed on my foot. I'm sitting at home in a cast. FML

Today, I ran for the train that was about to leave. I tried to hold the doors open with my leg and got stuck. The conductor just yelled out how unbelievable and ridiculous I was and waited 2 minutes to finally release me. Everyone was laughing at me. FML

Today, while sitting in a handicapped seat on the bus, an old man angrily approached me and chewed me out in front of everyone for not leaving the seat empty for "those who actually need it." Then he stormed off the bus, stepping heavily on my broken foot. FML

Unfortunately, there are alot of people like that in the population. Hopefully his rude ass ends up in a cast later so he can see how it feels, don't let this prick ruin your day!

Forget chivalry how about being nice to everyone. Common courtesy is dead not chivalry. Op don't take it to heart, some people need to be first for everything and will step over anyone to shave a few seconds off of their commute.

Chivalry IS dead......and Women killed it. What happened to you had nothing to do with chivalry. If I see someone with a leg cast in front of me on a bus I'd get up to help him/her as a common courtesy to humans in general. The person who pushed you was a dumbass asshole in general who would have done the same thing if you were male. So yeah. **** that asshole. But why chivalry is dead is an ENTIRELY different topic.

Should have made a scene and embarassed him. "Thanks man, that made my injuries feel so much better! Don't worry though, I didn't need that seat anyway, you look way more deserving of it than me. Have a great day."
