Today, I was in the supermarket when I saw a little boy trying to reach for something on the top shelf. I went over to him and asked if his mom knew where he was. The boy turned around. He was actually a very angry midget. FML

Today, I was in a store when a child looked at me and said to his mother "look at that tall man!" His mother replied "he's an evil giant isn't he, darling?" I then mimed being an evil giant to make the kid laugh. His mother slapped me. FML

Today, my friends and I go to a bar and get wasted. I walk around and see a kid. I start yelling, "There's a child in this bar! There's a CHILD in this BAR!" She turns around. She was a midget. FML

Today, my kid was lying on the floor in Morrisons screaming, no matter what I tried to do, until another mother came, picked him up, and dumped him in the trolley seat. She then looked me up and down and said, “Girl, he’s 4 years-old and 3 feet tall, grow some fucking backbone.” She was so right too. FML

Today, at my job working retail, I had just finished cleaning and straightening a whole aisle. This kid watched me do the whole thing. When I was done, he stuck his arm out, and ran it down the whole shelf, knocking everything off it. His mother just grabbed his hand and walked away. FML

Today, while working at my local supermarket, I found a boy lost and wandering about, so I took him to the front desk. My reward from his mother was a slap around the face and harsh words for supposedly having kidnapped him. FML

Today, I saw a kid throwing a tantrum in a supermarket. Thinking it was a matter of lack of discipline, I waited for the kid’s mother to come out of the bathroom to tell her how naughty her son was being. I then got to watch her beat her son to the point of unconsciousness. FML

Today, I was cashier at work. The line came to a stop, but there was still people there. I kept saying next, but no one moved. I finally looked over the counter where there was a lady who had been standing there the whole time. She was a midget. FML

Today, at work, a midget came in to buy beer. Not only was he almost as tall as me, he got offended when I had to card him and explain that the manager told me to card everyone, and that it wasn't because he was short. FML

I don't see how you could make this mistake. People who suffer from dwarfism tend to have a very characteristic body shape that looks nothing like a child...

you should maybe not call him a midget either... it's dwarf or little people that'll just make them angrier....

Aw, that sucks for the OP. But I think I might've done something similar in the same situation, because kids shouldn't be unattended in a grocery store, and a little person could easily look like a kid from behind. Also, just want to point out, it wouldn't be the greatest idea to ask a kid if they need help reaching something because their mother could find you handing the item to their child and become angry if they see a stranger giving something to their kid (especially if she told her kid not to get the item, like if it was candy or something). just pointing that out though, because I know that that obviously wasn't the case in this scenario

You're a DUMBASS for not being able to tell a midget from a small child.

"Midget" is a derogatory term. Dwarf/little person are more respectful terms to use when describing someone who has dwarfism.

I've seen this exact FML on this site before. Moderate this. To my 90... they all mean the same thing... the person is small and not the size of normal adults. Midget, dwarf, little person, they call convey the same message, so there's no point in picking one and saying it's derogatory.
