Today, I was riding on my usual bus, when I noticed a man staring at me. I was having a really bad day, and said "Can you please stop staring at me?" He then replied with "I'm just trying to look out the window, and your head is in the way. Don't flatter yourself." FML
I agree, your life sucks (4383) - you totally deserved it (23147)

Why is that bad? Cant you accept that not every man who sees you isnt instantly actracted to you?

And you believed him? Trust your instinct - he's a stalker. The only reason he didn't attack you later is because you spoke to him so he figured you'd recognise him in an identity parade.

I feel you, OP. I hate it when people stare (and I mean like a disgusted kind of stare), especially if you're having a bad day then it's like "what the FUCK are you looking at?!" I don't usually say anything tho, just give them a cold look or stare back til they look away. but seriously, people should have some kind of manners.
indeed, im glad you can recognise your faults. now you just need to work on them.

Man, I HATE girls like you... always think you are the center of attention. One day an attractive lady was driving with a flat tire; I honked several times on the traffic light trying to hell her that, but she just glanced at me and was staring straight ahead. I bet she's an idiot just like you, thinking that every guy wants to lay you. YDI, stupid bitch!
Wow.. that wasn't an ignorant general assumption.
I'm siding with the OP here. The person attempting to stare out the window either a) Has no social edicate (i.e why did he have to stare out the window so bad if her head was in the way?)
or b) Was staring at her, but was quick enough to think of an excuse and make her feel bad about it.
Also the little anecdote about the lady not acknowledging you honking at her... how the hell would you know if she's self-centered and vain? I hate people like you.. always jumping to conclusions and taking first glance impressions and pretending you know someone you've never spoken with.
I feel yah OP, don't even worry about these jackasses.
O RLY who cares? So you had a pretty small bad experience on the bus. You'll get over it and live.
#11 - On 11/26/2009 at 6:54am by waterynuggets
OMG. Wow, your life is like soooo terrible. I mean Wow, how do you like put up with it all and stuff??
Dumb bitch!
you're stupid. OP: don't listen to all these sad sorry saps on FML who try to make themselves feel better by acting really rude when you've had a bad dday. i know the feeling. it is really annoying when you are having a bad day and someone keeps staring at you, i know. i am really sorry i hope your day picked up!
#43 - On 11/26/2009 at 11:16am by 123sploosh
Uh huh. And the OP's life is really sooo fucked because she thought some guy was staring at her and then she was ??
Shut up you immature peon. There are people out there who have had much worse days than this and you don't hear them moaning about how teerriibbblle their lives are. You know why? Because they get on with life instead of moaning about it like a little girl.
Both you and the OP fail and DI!!
ydi for having such a huge ego and for typing in anonymous when you posted a pic of yourself. Anonymity FAIL!
#13 - On 11/26/2009 at 7:21am by xoxcinderellaxox
#13, anonymous means "of unknown name." Look it up. Just cuz you know what she looks like doesn't make her any less anonymous.
#14 - On 11/26/2009 at 7:37am by shananigans
Seems to me that he likely spoke the truth and that you need to downsize your ego unless he was directly staring at your face or over 5 minutes.
He could've also easily been lying and used the window as an excuse.
I put FYL and YDI cause this one could go either way.

you judgemental bitch i fucking hate it when people say stop staring when you're looking out the damned window, i hope the window shatters on your sorry ass and cuts you up bitch
Wow... ok, it was a bit of an over-reaction on the OP's part, but to wish for the window to shatter in her face...you have serious anger problems.
PEOPLE like you, the poster no the OP, need to please leave the planet earth immediately.
#44 - On 11/26/2009 at 11:17am by 123sploosh
Woah, Since I'm on my iPod I see pictures of OP. He's got two FMLs up within the past two days. His neighbor kicked his 'happy sack' last time. Bacause of that, I'm assuming these were in the same day.
Crappy day, huh OP?
#21 - On 11/26/2009 at 8:54am by BabaBlackShirt
And from a completely different place than the happy sack guy. BabaBlackShirt is so much fail.
#23 - On 11/26/2009 at 9:01am by flying_vegan
This person's profile pic is the same as the water fml. And also looks like a dude
#24 - On 11/26/2009 at 9:05am by tanman0401
Whoa u guys calm down. I had guys stare at me in school and I dont instantly think oh they are looking at me because I'm hot. Maybe op they was just a bit annoyed tht someone kept staring at them. Not because they thought they were the center of attention.
#26 - On 11/26/2009 at 9:20am by WOW_idc123
I hate when people stare through my window when I'm right in front of it, I'm like," Um...what the fuck?" Just give them a stare and they will turn and look through their own damn window
#28 - On 11/26/2009 at 9:33am by scateice
YDI for being a girl who thinks everything is centered around them. Girls like that are ironically always ugly too so FYL for being ugly
#29 - On 11/26/2009 at 9:37am by WeStayCrunk24x7
"Today, I embarrassed myself because in an act of vanity and narcissism. FML"
You know, it shouldn't be that hard to tell when people are staring past you rather than at you. I can't tell you the number of times someone has gotten irritated at me for "staring at them" when in fact I was just spacing out. Of course, I in turn usually look at them quizzically or with a WTF expression on my face, occasionally utter the word "dumbass" or something similar, and then start doing whatever again.
Vanity is not a virtue. Get over yourself.
#30 - On 11/26/2009 at 9:38am by blastvortex
I'm sorry, but YDI. You can't assume that he was staring at you. You could have been a little calmer about it and maybe just shifted your position a little. If his eyes did not move as you moved, then he was staring at the window. If his eyes moved with you, then you could have approached him. I usually don't go with YDIs, but this is a definite YDI. Don't assume someone is looking at YOU. There are other things surrounding you and you should not expect all eyes to be on you at all times. I would say FYL if he actually was staring at you, though. But for this case, YDI. Hope you can take my advice next time.
#33 - On 11/26/2009 at 10:04am by sLAUGHTERxx
You know, I'm leaning toward feeling a bit more sympathetic to the OP because at least she was nice and respectful in the way that she asked him. Usually these FMLs are all about truly bitchy people who think someone is checking them out and decide to get cocky about it. I highly doubt the guy was "just trying to look out the window." If he wanted to look out the window badly enough that he was trying to stare through her head, he would have asked her to move. Instead she politely asked him to stop staring and he responded rudely to her.
FYL because you were having a bad day and this made you feel worse.
#34 - On 11/26/2009 at 10:20am by AndelleRae
Just because your having a bad day doesn't mean you need to take it out on everyone else, ya biotch!
#35 - On 11/26/2009 at 10:24am by Bloodknight
i hate it when i'm trying to look out the window on the bus and someone's fat head is in the way. so, fuck you. that's what i say.
I don't understand why so many are against the OP, I mean, cmon, we have all had bad days, so you're gonna be a bit moody and stuff, so then you get on a bus then you see this creepy person staring in your direction in which you think they're staring at you, you're gonna get paranoid and ask them to please stop staring. And tbh he could have been lying and he covered it up. and if her head was in the way, he should stop trying to loook out of that blimmin window! Usually try not to make eye contact with people on buses otherwise people get suspicious and what not lol. FYL
#37 - On 11/26/2009 at 10:45am by Raheemdplayer
The OP wasn't being rude. They were in a bad mood and politely asked them to stop staring. The man looking out the window was rude, and plus, who looks out a window on the other side of the bus/when you're not in the window seat? It's just plain weird.
FYL, and sorry about the bad day :'(
#38 - On 11/26/2009 at 10:46am by sayheyyybabe
How was the man rude? i'm not sure how the buses are designed where ever you live but mayb they were sitting in the seats that face each other...what was the man supposed to do look at his feet just cause there was someone else in front of him? ummm no...the fact that she saw him staring means that she was also looking at him mayb she should have kept her head down instead. She deserved it cause she tried to embarrass the dude but in return got what she deserved.
If someone looks like they're staring at you, it doesn't make you vain to think that they actually are staring at you. Besides, the OP never said she thought he was staring at her because she was attractive. I doubt that she cared what his reasons were.
#40 - On 11/26/2009 at 11:03am by coffee_addict7
you do realize that this guy has posted three fmls right? if look at past fmls, three have the same picture, and the picture is of a guy. and, three fmls in one day? then you must have been having a really bad day...
#42 - On 11/26/2009 at 11:16am by rejection_and_li
stop trying to be full of yourself and grow up blondie! this isn't the 50s where everyone thinks they're all hot shots,and superstars..
#47 - On 11/26/2009 at 11:32am by xoluvinshayxo
OP, get the fuck over yourself. No, your vast beauty did not mesmerize the guy. Stop being full of yourself and let the man look out of that window.
#50 - On 11/26/2009 at 12:08pm by lostfaithinpppl
I would have said the exact same thing. Or maybe I would have said something like, "Sorry, that disgusting pimple is really mesmerizing". YDI completely. You DO need to get over yourself.
Too many negative votes, comment buried. Show the comment.
I am saying all this as an attractive girl who does get stared at and hit on quite a bit. (no I am not a fugly girl who just gets stared at, people actually approach me)
When it happens all the time, it works out best to just assume, at least where I live. I am not vain and full of myself, I would so much rather people left me alone, but boys are rude. And if you give them the smallest bit of attention it's even harder to get them to go away. Usually I just avoid it, but in this case I probably would tell them to stop. In all honesty it sounds like he was staring at her but used the window as an excuse. He even said her head was in the way so he can look out his own damn window if that's the case.
#56 - On 11/26/2009 at 12:55pm by KarasuFyre
I know you don't want to sound it but you come off as sounding really conceited
#59 - On 11/26/2009 at 2:50pm by audreyfotc
Sorry, bad sentence structure:
I know you don't want to but you come off sounding really conceited.
#60 - On 11/26/2009 at 2:56pm by audreyfotc
Wow someones awfully concieted. Just because people approach you does not mean you are attractive. Maybe you're a slut, or you like to get drunk, and you're really easy so that's why people approach you. Because there were some 'fugly' girls at my school who managed to get laid all the time because they were easy, even though they were not considered good looking. Having a lot of guys ask you out does not mean you're attractive.
How is this conceited? If she gets hit on all the time I think that's a pretty good reason to conclude that she actually is attractive. But that wasn't even the point, the point is that it is freaking annoying and it gets old VERY quickly.
Guys approach me sometimes. There, I said it. Does that make me conceited? It's just a fact. I'd prefer that they didn't. I'd rather be left alone. I'm glad it doesn't happen more. I pity girls who have to put up with that all the time.
#88 - On 11/27/2009 at 2:32pm by coffee_addict7
Have you people ever actually ridden a bus? It's pretty damn boring, and it's usually crowded. Looking at the window or goofing around with your cell phone or a book or something are pretty much your only options if you're by yourself. It's naive to assume that the guy is sitting right next to his own window and is instead staring at her. The guy could have been standing, or sitting with his back to the windows, or something like that where if he wanted to enjoy the scenery, he would have to end up looking at someone's window.
Buses are not really a fun place to be. Especially on a crowded bus, it's not a good idea to take everything other passengers do personally. Everyone is so close together, but in their own world. Lots of people just space out or look at the windows or something like that to pass the time. Everyone is a little uncomfortable, and a little closer packed than they would like to be. Most of us just deal with it, since it's only usually for like 20 minutes or so. It's a little concieted to assume that on a crowded bus, everyone who looks in your direction is checking you out, and everyone who sits or stands near you just wants to feel you up. They're just doing their best to completely ignore you, despite being uncomfortably close to you.
Exactly.
When I'm sitting people are usually standing beside me staring out my window, I feel like I'm being watched but I never say anything because I do the same thing sometimes.
The OP over reacted.
#63 - On 11/26/2009 at 3:40pm by fatherpunk
This is exactly why women should not be allowed to leave their man's house. They will turn every single thing into some kind of sexual harassment.
Why did you think he was looking at you? Were you half naked; a bare mid-riff, with your bra straps showing? Not that it matters, cause you probly could see your entire bra through the thin fabric. A short skirt barely covering your panties?
Say what you want about muslims, covering you stupid self-centered whores up is the one thing they did right.
#65 - On 11/26/2009 at 4:08pm by COBRAMORPH
#65 is a f**king idiot no one said how she was dressed, going on about muslims covering up their women what a load of shit it should be a womans choice to dress how she wants to dress . And YDI to OP for presuming he was staring at you, that's pretty silly.
Your an idiot, oh and sexist. Learn some morals, pig. But yeah YDI, maybe a bit self-centred.
#70 - On 11/26/2009 at 5:42pm by TakeOffYourColou
I can't tell what depressed the you more, the fact that the guy said "Don't flatter yourself", indicating that he didn't find you attractive, or the fact that it turned out he wasn't staring at you to begin with.
Don't ever have kids, you shallow bitch.
#68 - On 11/26/2009 at 5:04pm by Emperor_Jim
I said something similar to guy who accused me of looking at him. I was merely staring off into space.
so you kinda deserved it for snapping at him
Sigh, how could you think you don't deserve this. Being so vain to think that everything revolves around you even though it's so much more logical that the person was staring outside the window. You probably think you're the hottest thing to ever walk the earth and feel that everyone should feel sympathetic towards you since you had a bad (hair) day. Grow up and stop feeling sorry for yourself.
That's a lot of assumptions to make considering the only information you were given was that someone appeared to be staring at her, it bothered her, and she politely asked him to stop. How does any part of that make her conceited?
#89 - On 11/27/2009 at 2:36pm by coffee_addict7
Wow, you're stupid and self centered. This is not an FML, this is just you being stupid and rude. YDI. Also, grow up.
What kind of weird bus were you riding? Most (in fact... all) buses I have ridden have huge windows on each side of the bus. Couldn't he find some other spot of window to stare at?
Even still though, not much reason to call him out on it, unless he had been doing something inapproporiate at the same time.
#77 - On 11/26/2009 at 9:17pm by Trebie
Wow you posted another gay fml, Your not cool posting 2 in 1 day
#79 - On 11/26/2009 at 11:59pm by xxxNataliexxx
What is it with woman thinking that if a man looks in their direction more than once, it's obviously because they're ~*SoOoOOOo HoTT*~? No wonder we have a bad rep. Apparently about 90% of my gender is made up of dumb, self-obsessed bitches.
You had a bad day? Aaaaaaw. Welcome to life.
Yeah I totaly understand OP on this. Hate it when I feel like I'm stared at, especially when I'm in a pissy mood
#84 has a point but OP didn't have to be so snippy. I usually don't get bothered and snap if someone's staring until they invade my personal space or make a comment that they think I either can't hear or can't understand.
#87 - On 11/27/2009 at 8:03am by stinchbird
How do you know whether the OP was "snippy" or not? She could have been polite about it. We can't tell how she said it, considering we're reading it.
So why did it have to be the window behind you? Sounds like he was staring at you. Or maybe in your general direction. Anyway, he didn't have to get all prickey about it.
You were feeling horny and you wanted him to say something sexy. It's okay. Denial doesn't help.
Lol.
#95 - On 11/30/2009 at 9:45pm by katiewubsmusic
i hate it when attractive girls are on the same bus as me, because it restricts where i'm allowed to look without this happening.
#96 - On 12/02/2009 at 1:05pm by 42billybob
#94, So staring out of the window where another person is seated is fine, but if its the OP or you its a bad thing?
Get some damn sense woman.
YDI
