By I can't stand leg puns - 20/08/2018 21:11 - United Kingdom - Feltham

Today, a woman shouted at me to give up my disabled seat on the bus because she wanted to sit down. She wasn't physically disabled, wasn't nearly old enough to need it, and the bus was half empty anyway. I guess my prosthetic leg doesn't entitle me to a priority seat. FML

I can't stand leg puns! 22

Hi all! OP here! So, to start off, thanks for all the support (and sorry for firing off last time!). To the one or two of you who think I should be able to stand, first: the disabled seating is there for a reason; second: when you're standing on the bus you use your toes to help you balance a bit, and if you can't move toes on one leg it's a bit difficult. Third: My leg's basically a metal pole with a foot on the end, it's not one of the fully realistic ones, and I was wearing shorts so it was kinda obvious. Next, to those saying she may have been disabled in her own way: Unless she was severely mentally disabled, she still didn't need to shout at me, and I know her locally, she's just a bit of a bitch. Also there was only like 2 other people on the bus, and about 6 free disabled seats, she just wanted MY seat. And yes I realise I post a lot of stuff, life sucks haha. It isn't as consistent as my posting makes it appear, some of these stories happened a while ago, but how many FMLs actually happened that day? I'll try and think of another for you guys next week hahaha. And to whoever said I need my own section on FML, I won't complain hahaha. Thanks for reading the rant, see ya!

Should have told her the seat is for physically disabled people, not mentally disabled.

If that was to me, I don’t understand what your asking? (High-functioning autism.)

Dude, I think it’s time to move... You have so many FMLs on this website they should have a section dedicated to you

Toss your leg at her then start yelling "Stop thief, she stole my prosthetic leg!"

*wave* Hey OP - just go ahead and rant, I'd say having one prosthetic leg warrants for a lot of FML moments, maybe it helps you a bit to blow off steam That woman is a binch, what a shame the bus was half empty, she should have a lot more spectators when she demands an obviously disabled person get up just so she can plant her a$$ on that one specific seat instead of ten other available options.

Remove your prosthetic leg, "disable" her ability to speak any further, and then give her the disabled seat.

I'm not disabled, but I had this happen while sitting in a seat in the middle of the bus with plenty of empty seats. this woman would give multiple people the evil eye until they either gave her the seat or ignored her. I straight up told her no and continued ignoring her.i guess she had an emotional attachment to that particular seat
