Same thing different taste

Today, I ran into my ex-girlfriend from 5 years back. Still bitter, I said, "Hey baby, you remember riding me 5 years ago?" I was then punched in the face and restrained until the police arrived. She'd been having an 8 year anniversary dinner with her husband. FML

Today, I spotted my girlfriend in a store. She didn't notice me, so I went behind her, put my hands over her eyes, and said "Guess who." I got an elbow to the groin and mace to the face. While I was rolling on the ground in pain, she simply said, "Serves you right" and walked away. FML

Today, I ran into my boyfriend's ex. I decided to be a good person and hold the door for her as we walked into the store. She decided to be the bitch she is and stomp on my foot as she walked through the open doorway. FML

Today, a man came up to me and punched me in the face. He turned out to be the guy my ex-girlfriend cheated on me with. Apparently, she told him we broke up because I used to beat her. FML

Today, I got beaten up by my ex-girlfriend's older brother who does mixed martial arts, because my ex saw me making out with another girl. We broke up over 6 months ago. FML

Am I the asshole?

Today, I ran into my ex-girlfriend from 4 years ago. Turns out she hasn’t found love again since I broke it off with her for her best friend. She’s not the bubbly, cheery girl I met before. I can’t help but feel like an asshole. FML

The ex from hell

By welpwelpwelp - 08/07/2015 17:45 - Australia - Canberra

Today, while at a party, I ran into the girl I've liked for ages. I was so nervous, but I managed to keep the conversation going for a half hour. After mustering up the courage to ask her out on a date, her drunk, over-protective ex burst in and threw up on my shirt. Good timing, asswipe. FML

Today, my ex-girlfriend called saying she wants to get back together because of how mature and sincere I sounded last night. I despise her and I was drunk last night. FML

Really? She hit you with a mace? Where does one buy a big spiked iron ball on a stick these days? I could really use one.

The mature one wouldn't do anything. If your break-up was bad enough that she would just mace you like that, clearly it isn't wise to try to talk to her, maturity is knowing when to keep your mouth shut.

The smartest thing I've seen anyone post. I wouldn't want to run into any of my exes and for good reason. I wouldn't mace them but I pray that I never see any of them again in life.

You kinda deserve it OP, trying to make small talk with Exes is almost always a bad idea. Especially if it was a bad breakup or you find out the other is a psycho. If you didn't know she was psycho before, you do now so in a way you still dodged a bullet... try dodging the mace next time.

While I agree that talking to exes is bad, OP didn't deserve to be assaulted.

That is assault plain and simple. I saw this happen to a guy in real life. A guy was ARGUING with his GF and it never got physical, not even close to it. She maced him out of anger and was soon after arrested.

While you absolutely didn't deserve to be maced, I still don't think it was a good idea to go up and talk to her. People generally become exes because they don't want to have each other in their lives anymore.

I'd file assault charges against her.

Geez she's an idiot. I try to actively ignore my exes but if I saw one, I'd at least be an adult and say hi if they said something to me first. You dodged a bullet with this one. No rational person maces someone for talking to them

Today, I asked a girl at work out, who'd claimed she was single. Not ten minutes later, our boss fired me. Turns out that girl is actually his side chick he cheats on his wife with, even though she’s 19 and he’s 48. Not illegal, just scummy as hell, and he fired me out of jealousy. FML

Today, I went looking for a childhood doll - I remembered that my mum kept her in her bedside cabinet. I could see the doll at the back, but there was stuff in the way, so I reached in and took some of it out, only to find I was holding one of my mum's toys… a big black rubber cock. FML

Today, the door to my daughter's room became jammed and wouldn't open while she was in the room. Being resourceful, I grabbed my ladder and climbed up to her window, only to end up stuck in her window. I'm not sure what was worse, getting stuck, or being laughed at by my neighbors for a while. FML

Today, my boyfriend's dad came onto me. I was shocked and awkwardly tried to exit the situation. My boyfriend then sprang out and started shouting at me. Apparently, it was a "test" to see if I would still be attracted to him in 30 years. I failed. What. The. Fuck. FML
