Transportation: Today, I was sitting on the train when some crazy man started...

Today, I was sitting on the train when some crazy man started talking to me. I ignored him, and he tapped on my shoulder. He started blabbing and I just pointed to my ears and mouthed, "I'm deaf." He stopped talking. A minute later my phone rang and I answered it without thinking. FML

Today, I was sitting on a bus. I'm deaf. An old lady looked very angry at me and started talking. Then she looked like she was screaming. I had to type on my phone that I'm deaf. Apparently, I'd been stepping on her foot. She decided to poke me in the eye and type, "Now you're blind too." FML

Today, while waiting for my train, I was listening to a voicemail message on my phone. Out of nowhere, a stranger came up to me from behind and screamed "DELETE!" into my ear. His voice command deleted my message. FML

Today, I was texting a guy that one of my friends told me about. She gave me his number and told me about how he was deaf. Three hours into great conversation I forgot and asked him what his favorite music was. FML

Today, I was walking to school with my earphones in, when someone tapped me on the shoulder. I was shocked, and whirled around to hit him in the crotch. I soon realized he was just trying to return the commuter pass I'd dropped at the station. FML

Foiled

Today, I was at the airport, when a lady came up and loudly asked if she could sit next to me. I have serious social issues, so to avoid having to talk to her, I pretended I was deaf and couldn't hear her. She immediately broke out her sign language skills. FML

Train guy

Today, a guy on the train was using his phone really loudly, asking Siri to call a bunch of people, or using voice command to do the most menial things. He was really, really noisy. It's only after I couldn't stand it any more and asked him to be quieter that I noticed the white cane next to him. FML

Today, I was quietly reading in the subway, when all of a sudden, at a station, the man sitting next to me stood up, slapped me, yelled "Bitch!", and rushed off the train. FML

Today, I was on the train when I fell asleep. Everything would have been fine but I was suddenly jerked awake by the very loud sound of my own fart, followed by the stares of many strangers. FML

Today, on the train, I got excited when I suddenly noticed I had a missed call and voicemail from a boy I liked. With a grin on my face, I told my friend. My dad overheard and said, "Oh sweetie, he probably had the wrong number." The voicemail was blank. I texted him. The call was indeed an accident. FML

I guess faking a serious impairment is always okay.

Don't be such a jerk. For all you know... he was telling you the secret of life! Dun dun dun... But no seriously, that plan was doomed to fail in some form.

Don't worry about lying to random crazy people who think they're entitled to take up your time with their crazyness. If it's fair for them to annoy strangers, it's fair for strangers to lie to them. **** 'em.

Generally I abhor lying, but not if it is to avoid strangers inflicting their beastly uninvited company on you.

I 100% agree. Besides, when you're the slightest bit polite or even non-bitchy to crazy people, you run the risk of having them follow you around everywhere. Creepy!

you could've just said your phone vibrates when it rings. you can still feel vibrations when you're deaf.

True, but how can you talk to the caller if you're deaf though? Unless it was a text.

Why would you do that just because he is of lower social class than you?!

I think they said it was because they were crazy. Not poor. Listening too crazy people is generally fruitless.

Where in the FML does it state that the man is of a lower social class than OP?

I did the same thing on a bus last year. I didn't say that I was deaf, but rather than talk to guy, I just nodded in agreement and pretended to be mute. I few minutes pass and my phone goes off. It's work. I had to answer it. i picked it up and the guy looked at me. "Hello..?"
