Today, while playing badminton at school, I got an opponent who is mentally handicapped. Since I'm terrible at the game, I guess the teacher assumed it would be a good match. I won the match, my first victory ever. My teacher accused me of cheating to humiliate him. FML

Today, I was babysitting, and we were playing a game. Because he was little, I let him win all the games. He then turned to me and said, "You're really bad at this." I got very defensive and won the next game, and was actually proud that I beat a 3-year-old. FML

Today, my boss's oldest son challenged me to a chess game. I've been practicing a lot, so I decided to humor him. He was a challenging opponent; not because he was skilled, however, but because he was trying to cheat almost constantly. I felt exasperated, rather than accomplished, when I beat him. FML

Today, a friend wanted to show me a game he bragged he was the best at. I beat his score on the first try, and now I have a black eye to prove it. FML

Today, I got my girlfriend to play Smash Bros Brawl with me. As it was her first time, I set up handicaps to give her at least a shot at winning. She won, quite handily. A little irritated at this, I took off the handicaps and tried again. She beat me even faster. FML

WTF ref'?!

Today, after winning the first set for school tennis championship, the losing side refused to shake hands with my team. We ended up getting disqualified from the championship by the referee for bad conduct, even though it wasn't our fault. We told the referee what happened, and he said, "Suck it up." FML

Today, I was playing Badminton in P.E, and I was paired with a particularly pretty girl, who for some reason kept asking stupid questions that we both knew the answers to. I've only now just realized that she was trying to initiate conversation with me. This is why I have no friends. FML

Today, I was laughing at a girl who really sucks at badminton. Turns out she has anger issues, and a really good aim when she's mad. I've never been hit so hard in the crotch before. FML

Today, I went to play pool with a couple of friends. I'm not very good at this game. My friend beat me fair and square. Twice. He's blind. FML

Today, my mom stopped playing badminton with me because she claimed I was too aggressive. Apparently winning, playing by the rules, and smashing is considered aggressive. FML

Today, I was playing a math game with a 4th grade boy (I'm a college graduate). I cheated during the entire game, and still lost 7 of the 9 rounds we played. FML

Sounds like that teacher needs to reevaluate his/her own assumptions, in both ways.

It seems like a double edged sword... If you lose, everyone will think you're being "too easy" on the mentally handicapped person, if you win you're cheating to humiliate him/her? All I can say is at least the coach cares and is looking after the mentally handicapped person in his/ her own way, but that doesn't change the fact your coach is not being fair!

Double edged sword is usually used for something that does good and bad. These are both bad outcomes.

More of a catch 22 or "damned if you do and damned if you don't."

I doubt it to be honest. The coach attitude was patronizing for one thinking that he should pair up a mentally handicapped person with a lousy player to even the chances, two for assuming that because OP played normally, he did it in the intent to humiliate the person with a disability. OP's attitude was at least respectful by treating his opponent as an equal.

Maybe he said it only to make the handicapped kid feel good. Give him the victory.

Are handicapped kids not normal people? Can they not deal with losing a game in gym class? Babying the disabled kids won't help them at all, it'll teach them that they can do whatever the **** they want because they're disabled. They should be treated the same as non-handicapped kids.
