Today, I saw a little old lady trying to cross the street. I went over and tried to help her. Turned out she was actually just a really short young woman. As soon as I took her arm, she screamed in front of everyone and accused me of trying to molest her. FML

Today, an old lady fell in the street, and I rushed to help her. As I tried to help her to her feet, she started screaming, "She pushed me! She pushed me!" I froze up in shock, and ended up being chased by some guy who thought I'd attacked her. FML

Today, I saw an elderly woman struggling to reach the top shelf in my local grocery store, so I went over and asked if she needed help. She then accused me of flirting with her and had me escorted from the property. FML

Today, I saw an elderly lady fall over in the street. Nobody bothered to do anything, so I went over and helped her up. Instead of thanking me, she called me a pervert and slapped me around with her cane. FML

Today, I was grocery shopping, when an elderly lady walked up to me and tripped over her own feet. I caught her by the arm, at which point she shrieked at me for "groping" her. She ended up smirking as security threw me out of the store. FML

Today, I saw an old man who needed help crossing the street. I went over to him and helped him across the street. When he thanked me, I said, "No problem, sir." They responded by hitting me in the happy sacks and screaming that they were a woman. FML

Today, I began to walk across the street when I saw a very familiar old lady struggle across it. I walked over to help her, and only after she had blown her rape whistle and socked me in the nuts did she realize I was her grandson. FML

Today, I saw an elderly woman in need of help of crossing a street. I helped her across. On the way she just about fell and held onto me to keep from hitting the ground. After she left on her bus I reached for my wallet. It was gone. I had just been robbed by a 70 year old. FML

Today, I bumped into a lady, apologised and tried to continue on. She screamed assault and tried to citizen's arrest me. I've got better things to do, so I ignored her but she latched onto my leg like a toddler. I ended up dragging this insane woman up the street until she finally let go. FML

Today, I was in a shopping centre when a little girl was running up and down the aisles. She started to fall over so I put my hand out to catch her. Her mother then ran up to me and screamed about me 'touching her child' so loud that everyone could hear. FML

Today, I was standing in a queue when an old lady turned, looked straight at me, and asked me to hold her bag. Confused, I took a hold of it. She started screaming for help claiming I was stealing her shopping. Turns out, she was talking to her husband behind me. FML

I think you were suppose to ask her if she needs help first.

Why would you grab her arm without asking her first?

As a person who has, on more than on occasion, been forcibly assisted across the street against my will let me tell you it is a frightening experience. I am in a wheelchair due to an injury steel rods bolted to my spine keep my head from moving. I cannot turn my head to look left or right, nor can I twist my body to look behind me. When I want to check oncoming traffic to be sure it is safe to cross I must turn my wheelchair 90 degrees to the left and right. Sometimes people assume I just turned my chair because I want to cross the street in that direction and I suddenly find myself being quickly propelled across the street away from my intended destination. The only thing that annoys me more is when people lean down so their face is closer to my level and speak to my like I am a wayward toddler separated from his Mommy. Yes I admit there was some traumatic brain injury that affected my speech but why do so many people assume they have to talk so loudly and slowly. Grrrrrrr. Just say hello to me like I'm a normal person.

Totally you're bad. I mean seriously even if it was an old lady why would you just grab her without so much as a "do you need any help"

Old lady or not, it's not appropriate to grab random women without saying anything.

Even if she were a little old lady, you still shouldn't have just grabbed her arm out of nowhere.

YDI for not asking first. But that must have been humiliating too so FYL as well.

Why didn't you just ask her if she needed help? Was that too hard?

You're heart was in the right place. You just failed at the execution. Just ask next time.

Why are there so many "I agree, that sucks"? NEVER TOUCH ANY INDIVIDUAL UNLESS YOU HAVE PERMISSION. Then this wouldn't have freaking happened. This is so "You deserve it" it hurts.

Even if this had been an old woman, you still have to ask permission before you do something like that. It's a sweet gesture, but I don't think you'd be cool with someone coming up behind you and grabbing your arm.
