Being you clearly said "All of you", some of us (myself included) are assholes for telling him to be civil to people? If I saw somebody was uncomfortable in a situation (unlike my friend as stated in my first comment), I wouldn't "have a little laugh" at their expense. Guess what? I may pick on and play with my friends (as they do with me), but it's always done so with levity, and they KNOW we are playing around. I have never, in my life, EVER deliberately said something to somebody WITHOUT knowing how they would take it, because I know exactly how that feels. So, using your own logic, don't stereotype and assume everybody would "like to have a little laugh" at the potential cost of someone else's feelings.

You need to calm the **** down.

You can be full time and get benefits at a grocery store. What's the "real" job that you have that makes you think so highly of yourself?

Slipping and falling is an easy thing to laugh at yourself about and with your friends. But about a disease and to someone you don't know is a completely different level.

There IS something wrong with you because you -made fun of an old man- who was having obvious problems with something. Instead of doing the decent thing and offering to help him, you chose to mock him because it would "be a laugh." What's wrong with you is that you're an asshole. And then you posted the it on FML, were you expecting sympathy here? You acted like a dick and people are gonna call you on it.

Dude... You put your story on the INTERNET and you didn't expect any backlash? You're never going to convince people to agree with you. Everyone who's saying "something is wrong with you" means what 92 said--that something wrong is that you're a jackass. No, we don't know you, but I can't imagine anyone who treats an old man like that to be charming or sweet. You're going to be called names, and you deserve it. Stop arguing with people on here and just let it go.

People are saying there's something wrong with your sense of morality and judgment. And really, going from your OP, that's a fair enough statement. You displayed your lack of judgment for the world to see, so you have to expect to be judged on that. Nobody is making judgments about your life, so we don't need to know your life story. We're making judgments about your behaviour to this bloke. If you didn't want this sort of judgment, you should have shut up and not posted it on FML. Secondly, yes the customer might have started laughing at himself first. But he's still a CUSTOMER. You join in laughing at someone when they're a friend. Not someone you're being paid to SERVE. Sure, bag out men if you want, because you yourself are a guy. Sure, have a little chuckle when he begins laughing. But making it personal - "what's wrong with you" - is stupid. Yes some of these comments are over the top, but FML commenters are often over the top. You have to expect that.

One small correction, LilaBear. Quite a few people ARE making judegement's on his life.

Guys.. People make mistakes, so I don't see why you're all so quick to judge someone on ONE event. Face it. We've all said stupid things at least once in our lives, but how would we feel if someone immediately judged us based on that one event? You heard what the guy said.. He laughed after the old man laughted at himself. He was trying to be funny and friendly. Even though this is on FML, I still don't think that's any reason to call him names and pretty much hate on him. We all just need to chill, and stop hating on someone for a mistake they've done once in their lives. God. You all are the reason why I've lost most of my faith in humanity.
