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

Chase scene

Today, while walking in the mall, I had two people race past me in wheelchairs. Thinking they were racing, I started rooting for the one guy that was ahead. Turns out his wheelchair was malfunctioning and the other was chasing after to help. He then slammed and fell into the water fountain. FML

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 have MS, and while I was in a grocery store a couple followed me through the store, making fun of my disability and the way I walked. 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

Today, I went to a bar which has two stories. I was on the top floor and then went downstairs. As I was going down, I recognised a boy in a wheelchair and his friends trying to get him up. I helped and took the wheelchair. One of his friends decided it would be a good moment to steal my wallet. FML

Today, I was at the Salvation Army when I saw a wheelchair in the miscellaneous aisle. I thought it would be fun to ride around in it. As I was wheeling it back to where I found it, I made it back just as it's owner was hobbling out of the dressing room. FML

Today, I was at Walmart. A guy in a mobility scooter bumped into me, then told me to "get the fuck out of the way." When I told him to watch his mouth, he got up and shoved me into a shelf. Just a few minutes prior, he'd yelled that he was paralyzed from the waist down. FML

Spinning out and miserable

Today, for the first time ever, I had a bout of vertigo in the middle of a mall. It went so very nicely with my crushing loneliness. FML

Today, a guy grabbed my ass at the mall. I whirled around and went to sock him. He ducked and I accidentally hit the elderly woman standing behind him in the face. To say all hell broke loose would be an understatement. FML

What a bunch of disrespectful pieces of shit. I'm sorry you had to deal with that, OP.

This has to be one of the most ****** up FMLs I've seen. I can't even comprehend why anyone would do that. I'm so sorry OP! I hope your faith in humanity hasn't completely vanished, though it's understandable if it has...

I would have a paintball gun or a taser handy for that reason alone. Don't be afraid to get loud. You'd figure in a mall there would be others around. A rent-a-cop at least.

I hope he gets run over. Seriously, what kind of immature asshole would do something like that to a handicapped person?

I hope you Atleast got some kind of fun out of it? I can't see why anyone would disrespect someone especially a disabled person...

Find out where they live and unleash those monsterous spiders I read about in Australia on them.

How did the police respond? That's definitely a good handful of criminal charges.

I am so sorry for you ... If it were my kids and I found out, they'd be over at your house cleaning and mowing and every other chore I could think of. Also, it might be time to invest in a taser or pepper spray.
