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

Same thing different taste

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

By silenceisgolden - 23/03/2020 01:39

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.

i completely agree with you. both of my parents are deaf as well and i disagree with this "great" idea of faking a disability. its not funny. its not a joke. and its offensive. honestly, i feel bad for that poor man because you might as well just have told him "i think you're weird. you're not worth my time. or the truth. so i'll just lie to you." even if you WERE deaf, you could have at least made some noise like #29 commented. you weren't pretending to be mute. i totally get where you're coming from #45, thank you. YDI 100%

Chill the **** out. She wasn't trying to be funny, she just doesn't want somebody to annoy the shit out of her.

your welcome! but, you know what i really hate? when people assume i will translate for them. my parents can read lips, and (kinda) speak. they can communicate just fine. hearing people just dont want to wait, and listen hard. i'll step in if i really have to, but my parents can get along with out me just fine!

Haha, if this is real, bravo. Answering the phone would have been like gutting him open and then salting the wound. Then again, hobos aren't really people. He was also crazy. Who knows if they actually have feelings?

People are so nosey and I hate talking to people who are sitting next to me. If they talk to me I just ignore them and put my earphones in my ear.. Then you really can't hear them!! :P Good job at answering the phone though. That's awesome. haha
