Today, I was feeling unusually self-confident, so I decided to skip putting on makeup for the day. On my way to class, I passed some guys selling towels. One of them jeered, "Wanna be prettier? Buy a towel, and throw it over your face!" There goes my self-confidence. FML
Today, I was taking a shower with my girlfriend when she 'complimented' me by saying, "You’re cute, like a rat." FML
Today, I told a coworker, “You look way better without makeup.” She responded, “I’m wearing makeup.” Everyone around us gasped like I had just said "fuck" in church. FML
Today, I decided not to wear any makeup. I got told 13 times at work that I looked ill. FML
Today, I went to school without makeup. No one recognized me. FML
Today, I went to school without any makeup on. The guys who usually compliment me for being pretty are now calling me "The Greatest Illusion Ever". FML
Today, I playfully drew thick eyebrows on my one-year-old son to make him look like a cartoon villain. He laughed cutely in the mirror as I took some adorable pictures. When my husband saw, he threw such a horrendous fit about boys and makeup, I was reduced to tears. FML
Today, I was taking the subway to school. I was applying some makeup when I noticed a little boy watching me. When I was finished I heard him whisper to his mom, "I thought make up was supposed to make you pretty." FML

Rats are adorable! Every rat owner thinks it, so perhaps it was (in her mind) a compliment.

#61 Black Death.. Bubonic Plague
BrockALee 14
Wasn't the black death (or plagues as you put it I guess) caused by fleas?
MiloBear 11
#61, I used to tell people that the bubonic plague was caused by fleas that lived on rats, cats, dogs and humans. I guess rats take all the flak because humans like the other three species. Then I read an article in the Guardian (if you Google "bubonic plague rats" it is currently the second article) saying that archaeologists have found evidence that the plague spread too fast for it to have been caused by fleas and rats, but more likely by human transmission. Either way, rats are off the hook and I get sick of people spreading such biased, outdated ideas. OP, I would take it as a compliment; rats are beautiful and I'm sure your cousin thinks the same of you.

Contrary to popular belief, most rats can't actually eat cheese. Like majority of small animals, they develop lactose intolerance as they get older. This isn't relevant for all rats though, one of mine can eat cheese while my other 3 can't.

Well make up it is.... She's young doesn't know any better don't take it personally...

Actually, majority of young kids tend to be honest because they speak their mind.

Exactly, she doesn't know enough to not speak her mind. Sometimes honesty isn't always the best policy.

There are 3 kinds of people who tell the bare faced truth in this world. Drunk people, kids & someone who is majorly pissed off.
worldclassrager 39
That is true...being the age of seven it does make sense their comment is for honesty not just saying things...

Rats are cute. I love those whiskers and the beedy eyes.
Jared900DUmpling 30
I don't think that girls want to be told they have beady eyes and whiskers....

Children are brutally honest :/ don't take it to heart.

I agree. When I was a kid, my friend's little brother used to say I looked like a boy. When my friend had a formal birthday party and I was all dressed up, he told me I was a pretty boy. Sometimes kids just say mean things. It's a stage they will hopefully grow out of.

Once my 6 year old foster sister asked what all the red spots were all over my face while I was with some girls. It was awkward and awful

If she looks like a rat? That's pretty hideous. F that kid's life.
