Today, I went on a field trip with some people from school. I'm currently confined to a wheelchair, so I had to rely on my sister to get around. She eventually went off with her friends, assuming that the people nearby would keep me company. Five minutes later, they'd all left me. FML

Today, I worked up the confidence to go to the mall alone for the first time since being confined to a wheelchair. It didn't even take 20 minutes before some teenager grabbed my wheelchair and tried to race me around, all while his friends watched and laughed. FML

Today, I was chaperoning for my 8-year-old sister's class in school. The bus ride was an hour long, so several people didn't make it to the bathroom in time. Unfortunately, one of them was me. FML

Today, it was our class field trip. I got five dollars from ten different people because they wanted me to sit away from them. FML

Today, I walked around town by myself for four hours because I was too ashamed to tell my parents that I have no friends willing to spend time with me. FML

Today, I was left at home alone while my friends went on a trip to Paris I paid for. FML

Today, instead of having my friends come pick me up, my dad drove me over to visit them. He insisted on walking me up to the door, hugging me goodbye, and making sure my friends were appropriate enough to hang out with. I'm in college. FML

Today, my family and I drove to a mall an hour away. We split up, and I went into a store by myself. A little later, I get a call from my brother asking me where I am. They had already left to go home and didn't notice me missing from the car. They were already halfway home. FML

Today, at the age of 16, I'm recovering from hip surgery. My friends took me out to the movies to cheer me up. They thought it would be hilarious to steal my crutches and leave me stranded and alone in the mall, multiple times. It wasn't. FML

Stranded

Today, I finally had a chance to get outside after receiving shrapnel to my leg. My crutches had not yet arrived so I didn't want to risk it, but my buddies said they had my back. We went to the seaside and I sat down as they say they'd be right back. It started to rain and everyone forgot me. I can stand, but not walk. FML

Today, I went to the airport with my mom, who requested a wheelchair for me, since I have a broken leg. I'm 24. Embarrassed, I insisted I push myself around, instead of an airline assistant doing it. A few seconds later, I crash into the same airline assistant, who then falls back into my lap. FML

This FML made me depressed, I wish I could donate you a jet pack or some crazy shit like that.

That wheelie sucks. Oh sorry...that was insensitive. I'll try again. Maybe you should have asked someone for help? As they say, the squeaky wheel gets the grease...damn, I did it again. Shit, sorry. Perhaps your sister felt like you were being a third wheel? I give up.

Apparently, the OP thinks the world revolves around him. He wants pity while he gets to play with a grown-up Sit 'n' Spin.

Seriously Doc what the ****? I normally like your comments but come on this is a bit over the top.

I know all of Doc's jokes are jokes. But joke or not, I still found it a bit insensitive.

Come on; you don't know why the person is in a wheelchair. Just because they're in one doesn't mean they're paralysed; they could have a broken ankle or something. I have to use a wheelchair every time I do something dealing with a lot of walking, but I honestly find these jokes funny. Lighten up, us "handicapped" people can joke around too.

SammyS - Thank you, thank you, and thank you again. No one seems to understand that jokes are just jokes.

Not just that, but people just need to learn to laugh at their situation. Don't worry Doc, your jokes were great. I think I'm actually going to use that third wheel one next time I'm at the park with my family :)

Yes, not every wheelchair user is paralyzed. I SOOOOO wish more people understand that. I can move my arms and legs. I also have feeling in both arms and legs. I just don't have much strength at all in them. Certainly not enough strength to hold myself up and walk.
