Today, I was at the mall in a store looking at movie posters. I turned around and suddenly saw a creepy guy smiling at me, holding his arms out wide. I screamed "holy shit!" really loudly, causing everyone to stop and stare at me funny. Then I realized the creepy man was a cardboard cutout. FML

LMAO. The same thng happen to me at the mall. There was a creepy dude hands on the hip and just kept on staring. Eventually when I passed it I realized it was a cutout. LOL. HAHA. Something to look back and laugh at, happens to many people. :)

lol, I did that once too! I was in walmart and the girl i was babysitting had an accident so we were in the girl's clothes section. I saw a cut-out of Miley Cyrus as I turned the corner freaked out and punched it, every little girl in a five aisle radius started to cry
hahaha...dumb
i hope you told that card board cut off for that bitch that he was

Lol.
I would totally put a cardboard cut out of him in MY store, if I had one.

I saw this guy one day and went like "OMG, he's soo hoT!" and actually approached him, two friends waiting behind n smiling in a weird way.. he turned out to be a cardboard cutout as well, I was sooo embarressed :((, especially because he turned out to be this guy who's almost 20 years older than me =(
don't worry, its not ur fault, YdontDI..
My dear friend from high school got a cardboard cutout of Legolas (from Lord of the Rings) for her 16th birthday. We set him up at the front door, so he was the first thing every one of the incoming guests saw when they opened the door. The reactions were EXCELLENT. ^_^

xD LadyAlathia. We had one of those and I think we shocked the cutout more than it shocked us.
It's harder to rape cardboard than it looks. Pray for us :]
You should have just played it off and been like,"Oh shit!I didn't know this movie came out today!"
Lol

Too many negative votes, comment buried. Show the comment.
You dumb bitch. Learn the difference of a cardboard and a human.
Hey guys, it's becca1417, the one who posted this FML.
I know some of you people think I am stupid for screaming "holy shit" at a cardboard cutout. Well, I was just kinda surprised that it popped out behind me. I realize now that this is not a real FML, ok? I did laugh at myself afterwards for my stupidity. For those of you that were wondering, the guy was in cowboy attire and looked like he was drunk. :)
And thanks to the other dorks who say they do this every day! :)
Thanks for just commenting on this alone; I'm surprised this even made it. :)

Well, excuse me for being a dumb bitch, #17. Listen to #41.
#50 - On 09/01/2009 at 9:50pm by becca1417
yay becca! I saw a cutout and approached it well knowing it was a cutout to see what others would think. Mom saw me and smiled thinking I was talking to a girl. When I went back she said "so who's that" and i said "megan fox."
some girls on my floor at college had a lifesize cardboard cutout of the geico caveman for some reason, and that thing would randomly show up in the showers, right outside your dorm room door, in the trash room, in the kitchen, everywhere. It always surprised people, but their reactions were awesome.

i love how fml has become a social networking site as well lol. bc you see ppl like screwtaylor and plexico on almost every comment thread. not hatin. just sayin
Haha, I kind of like that aspect. I have people I like and reply to a lot on here, and people I hate and argue with. It's fun. :]
#77 - On 09/02/2009 at 1:01am by Intoxicunt
Why does someone always have to comment "that's not an fml". If every fml posted on here was something totally horrible and sad that had happened to someone no one would be on this site. FMLs are meant to be funny, not depressing.
"should have gone to specsavers"
seriously, try getting glasses.
#23 - On 09/01/2009 at 8:07pm by untalented1
They really need to abolish cutouts. There was one like this except it was at a gas station and it was a female cutout smiling creepily.
i swear i do that every time i go in our mall's hot topic :D
FYL because i so relate lol
#29 - On 09/01/2009 at 8:21pm by i8shrooms
Wow. Idiot.
Almost ALL fmls are now YDI for being STUPID. This gets so old. A genuinely unfortunate accident resulting in fml is better.. geez.
#30 - On 09/01/2009 at 8:23pm by noshitsherlock
Am i the only one curious as to exactly what the cutout is from?
#32 - On 09/01/2009 at 8:29pm by keepyourpantson
omg. I'm sorry but those things always trick me, especially mannequins. I look so paranoid in malls.
I put a Vince mcmohn cut out in my bathroom when my freind was showering XD It ended bad for vincy XD
#42 - On 09/01/2009 at 9:08pm by girlwhoactshigh
ha! yeah i worked at the cinemas for a while and we had a Will Smith cut out from i am legend floating around for a while which would randomly appear in places and giv me a scare lol. especially when you had to go down this hallway to go to the bathrooms and it would be standing there xD
#44 - On 09/01/2009 at 9:11pm by lindamichelle1
You dork! I thought I was the only one that happened to. I know, I ride the short bus.

*I accidentally put this as a response. Didn't mean to.
#49 - On 09/01/2009 at 9:48pm by becca1417
Yes, I'm surprised as well that it got posted.
I've sent 2 or 3 FMLs before way worse than this lol. But they didn't get through.
I don't really care anymore, so yeah. Cheers.
#60 - On 09/01/2009 at 10:38pm by wingedspiritus
Drd you post "Today," at the beginning and "FML" at the end? If you didn't, it won't get posted. Or if it has too many type-os.
reminds me of when my cousin bought a cut out of edward cullen and whenever i looked back, i thought it was a real person :] haha. and if anyone tries to reply about how i'm lame for liking twilight, im gonna say i don't like it in advanced. but yeah i can totally relate, i get scared if something seems to have popped out of nowhere.
#55 - On 09/01/2009 at 10:11pm by theshinepolice
That happened to me except it was a cutout of Harrison Ford, but I didn't feel scared. I felt protected.
#57 - On 09/01/2009 at 10:21pm by DeadMansCrack
This isn't even original. Several times a week someone posts an FML about being freaked out by a cut-out or trying to hit on a mannequin, or whatever other stupid stuff. Like the person who bitched out a guy for staring at them when it was just his sunglasses on the back of his head.
AT LEAST it wasn't one of those FUCKING CREEPY realistic looking mannequins from Old Navy.
Fuck that shit :(
#61 - On 09/01/2009 at 10:41pm by allmidnighteyes
Oh heavens I just went to Old Navy today and let me tell you, that was an experience that will haunt me forever
#62 - On 09/01/2009 at 10:42pm by DeadMansCrack
I stole one of those mannequins' arms and was walking around all day with it over my shoulder.
It took forever for my mother to notice and then rage about.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING STOP BEING STUPID YOU ARE EMBARASSING ME WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU"
#66 - On 09/01/2009 at 11:07pm by DameGreyWulf
If I was there and I saw you freak out over a piece of cardboard, I would laugh my ass off.
#64 - On 09/01/2009 at 10:56pm by DeathShad0
Funny! Sometimes you need an FML that's funny and not one where you feel exteremely bad for them.
#71 - On 09/01/2009 at 11:45pm by kristen56
I like the show true blood it keeps me on the edge of my seat
#79 - On 09/02/2009 at 1:28am by Swarley55555
Bahaha. I did the same thing about a week ago! It's fucking scary when you see some weird dude randomly appear in your periff right when you step your way out of a dark movie room. I screamed "OH FUCK!" as loud as possible and it took 45.6 seconds to realize that it was, infact, not real... :/ The problem is that I already saw the life-size cardboard cut-out on my way in xD....
#87 - On 09/02/2009 at 3:30am by ISeeStarsBitchh
lol dw i got scared of my shadow at the beach i thought it was a shark :S
#91 - On 09/02/2009 at 5:33am by princessprttiful
This shit happens to me ALL THE TIME. It's traumatizing, really. I always get this feeling that I'm being watched in FYE, but then I realize it's just Hannah Montana.
I has a similar expirence. I was on my front porch one night and this dude was stnading by the neighbors house staring at me. I was pretty creeped out so I went inside, double checked all the locks, loaded my gun, and layed down to sleep. I woke the next morning after no incident, got in my truck to go to work and a NASCAR cutout by the neighbors trash cans caught my eye. LOL I felt like and ass but not that my life sucked.
Pooe mannix, the fact that you have to see Hannah Montana in FYE really does blow. I think the only cardboard thing we have in our FYE is Robert Pattinson. Oh wait we have the Jonnas Brothers to :/
#96 - On 09/02/2009 at 9:22am by feed_the_ducks
once i was told to close my eyes and stand still and my friends put a life sized edward cullen cut out right in front of me. i obviously FREAKED OUT. hahahaha
Omg, everyday someone posts something about a cardboard cut out. It really isn't that big of a deal.
Its wayyyyyy overused.
Haha! At least you won't have to see the people in the mall ever again. Plus, it makes a great story.
#101 - On 09/02/2009 at 11:21am by agexofxaquarius
Haha... so true.. That is something i would do.. thats not a good thing :)

Hahahahahahahahahaha....you are a dork.....hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
#104 - On 09/02/2009 at 12:52pm by Hellsno

#110 - On 09/02/2009 at 10:05pm by Richieq212
yeah I did that once and yelled "AW FUCK" and there were kids around.
It was a wax statue of marilyn monroe but I thought it was actually her for a sec. I was at the wax museum in NY...

Guess you'd prob not like the hugs for free campaign guy eh?
#113 - On 09/03/2009 at 9:16am by DementiaLqve
Lol those stupid cut outs are SOOOOOOOO creepy, i would do the same BUT not use God name in vain.
I would say something like "Oh s***t"
#114 - On 09/03/2009 at 6:52pm by ShinyShine

LMFAOOPHF.. ok enough...
#120 - On 09/25/2009 at 3:28pm by pie_rulesXP
Haha. That happened to me once. I was in F.Y.E., and I was looking at the t-shirts on the back wall, behind the plasticky display things, and it was at the end of a row of movies and stuff, which I barely glanced at. So I didn't see the cutout of Edward Cullen until I saw the reflection in the display case. From where I was staring, and the angle of the reflection, it looked like he was staring at my intensely. I screamed and my then-boyfriend and an employee ran over, and only then did I realize it was a cutout. It was emabarrassing.
Anyway! I know how you feel. That kinda sucks, but you know it's pretty funny. =P
#121 - On 11/24/2009 at 2:40pm by KristinKhaos
Well, I'd scream in terror if Edward Cullen was intensely staring at me too.
I saw a girl going into the bathroom with one of those cut outs at the mall once. I shudder to think what went on in there.
