Today, a really cute guy sat across from me on the bus. He smiled at me, then tensed his muscles and lifted a heavy bag with one arm. Thinking he was trying to act "macho" to impress me, I rolled my eyes and threw him an annoyed/disgusted look. When he got off, I realized he only had one arm. FML
I agree, your life sucks (5396) - you totally deserved it (47801)

first you say theres a really cure guy that sat across from you and then you roll your eyes at him?

wow.
first of all, even if he was trying to charm you, to seem "macho" you should have enjoyed the sentiment of it.
second your a total turdwad, for rolling your eyes, thinkin' your better than him, that makes you a double turdwad. YDI
imagine how you must have made him feel for being a normal person. turdwad.
so you didn't notice that the guy sitting across from you was missing an arm? and you decided that even though you thought he was cute, that you'd act disgusted at what you thought was an attempt to be macho instead of doing that "you're being stupid but i like you" giggle? =P
#2
you took the words right out of my mouth. i was literally going to say those exact words.
for the OP: that was a little rude on your part. but atleast you didn't say anything bad to him.

lol @ #7! XD
Why roll your eyes at a guy you thought was cute? Unless you're one of them really annoying girls who play hard to get...Seriously if you're interested let them know if not then don't be, don't play games..it's annoying..

If he's as cute as you say he was then I wouldn't roll me eyes. Secondly, with one arm I'd be up in a heartbeat to help him. Surely I'd get something in return :)

another girl who thinks everyone is just trying to impress her, only to find out shes a dumb conceited bitch..

#11 FTW!
It's conceited bitches like you that give us girls a bad name!!
Get over yourself! If he were actually interested, he probably would have done more than smile...
YDI.

whatever happened to being nice with others? and besides, if you're single and would like not to be anymore, then it's a good way to meet new people, by helping them.
#12 - On 04/04/2009 at 10:11am by Charlene
You ppl can think what you like but at least there's a hint of decency to help someone.
What are u ppl, narrow minded?
#14 - On 04/04/2009 at 10:18am by Charlene
uhhh #14 when did she help him? what are "u," illiterate?
#15 - On 04/04/2009 at 10:21am by PTERONOPHOBIA
You people misunderstood me, I'm just saying what happened to decency? Wouldn't you feel good if you helped someone?
#17 - On 04/04/2009 at 10:27am by Charlene
wow you must think your so hot
"macho"
go take a shit you retard, if a guy was trying to impress you by being macho dont think your above it

Handicapped people can be arrogant pricks too, who flex their muscles and try to impress pretty women. There's no reason they should be treated any different when it comes to social interaction.

#4 hit the nail on the head. Turdwad.
Today, I saw a really cute girl sitting across from me, I lifted my bag of groceries showing my muscles, she rolled her eyes. I only have one arm. FML.
@19
Handicap people can be arrogant pricks but the "flexing of his muscles" is implied by the OP that he was trying to impress. If he had a heavy bag of whatever, he may have just been trying to lift said bag (thus having his muscles tense) while he was getting ready to get off the bus. The problem with this FML is that it lacks time. I honestly don't know if the guy was flexing the whole time or flexing while he was getting up to leave. Both would convey two different things (first was he was trying to impress the OP while the second was that he was just getting ready to get off the bus with his bag of whatever).
I personally don't go for looks, but none-the-less, people should have the decency to help those that aren't capable. So I agree with #14 with decency but the looks, c'mon.
Maybe he wasn't trying to impress her, but seriously; most women are bothered constantly by people trying to hit on them. It's an annoying fact of life. Try getting cat calls from random idiots in cars driving by, and sleezy idiots trying to schmooze with you on the bus. Going out for any reason becomes an endless parade of stupidity.

Yeah! Sheesh, all of the above, well most of it. WHy does todays society have a negative reaction to what we are supposedly also appeased by. An attempt by another to notice them, as a sign of their interest in you. Not that this was that,, it was just your self centered ego. Read a book, get a life.
ok to the people who say he isnt capable and saying she should have helped him:
1. he's only carrying a bag, its not like he was struggleing
2. i dont kno about you but most people dont exactly go out of there way to help others on a bus
3. that had nothin to do with the FML, noone said he asked for help
4. Im sure the guy can take care of him self. he may have only one arm but ppl adapt in those stuation
5. most ppl in those situation dont want to be treated any different then everyone else
PS vanities a Bi*ch lol
i wish there was another voting option, not just FYL or YDI: stop whining and get a life

11 let the truth be heard!
also this is just the guarantee fml format like the emperors formula to prefect star wars dialog. instead of "something something DARK SIDE something something COMPLETE". Its "Some Bitch ON A BUS thinks she is all that andd GETS WHAT THEY DESERVED"
I don't get why you'd roll your eyes at him; even if he had been trying to act 'macho' you should have just been flattered that he wanted to impress you at all. Personally, I would have thought it was stupid but kind of cute.
#38 - On 04/04/2009 at 4:07pm by nuga
That was a little harsh. But at least you thought he was cute :D
#40 - On 04/04/2009 at 4:16pm by planecrashdreams
Honestly, I thought this was hilarious. You must have felt like such a jackass.
#42 - On 04/04/2009 at 4:37pm by CodyGuitarist
OH MY GOD my friend seriously just told me about this happening. he has one arm. his name's Eric. in what state did this happen to you?
yeah i guess i'm agreeing with everyone who's saying why were you being mean..
and how did you not notice his lack of an arm when you were looking at him?
its a pretty obvious thing to miss
duuude harsh..
a couple thoughts on this though... first you say he's cute then you give him a dirty look for trying to "impress" you. Why give a dirty look for that though? What if a guy who thought you were cute gave you a dirty look for trying to "impress" him by wearing a low cut shirt or a short skirt or something? Also, just the way people bend their arms the bicep tightens and appears flexed even tho no force is being used. His arm was probably jacked from using just one arm for things.
What if a guy was trying to impress you? why roll your eyes? Geez!
#55 - On 04/05/2009 at 6:36am by ljuwaidah
Even if he was trying to impress you, you need to lighten up and not act like a bitch.
#57 - On 04/05/2009 at 1:17pm by wat_the_eff
Good for you, douche bag. Deserved it for assuming. Also, uh... dumbass? Buses aren't that big, you pretty much had to notice. Fail.
#59 - On 04/05/2009 at 10:56pm by podrummer9209
What an extremely conceited way to act toward somebody you don't even know. Even if the guy had two arms, there's no justification for rolling your eyes at somebody you've known for ten seconds.
#61 - On 04/08/2009 at 2:47am by SgtSchadenfreude
for real, god forbid some stranger smiles at you. he OBVIOUSLY must want to fuck you. people can't just be friendly?
#62 - On 04/30/2009 at 6:44pm by fretforyerlatte
that's horrible. it's not your fault though, you didn't know!
#63 - On 05/12/2009 at 5:00pm by randomgirl13
Thank you #11, some people need to wake up and realize the world doesn't revolve around them
#64 - On 05/12/2009 at 9:25pm by mixedcalibaby
People say this is a YDI...but what exactly did you deserve? Nothing really happened?.....
#66 - On 05/24/2009 at 5:07am by AliciaContreras
Wow, the nerve of that macho jerk to smile at you and perhaps work out. Your post reeks of the fact you were more interested in his body than he clearly was in you or yours, so what are you acting so catty for? What bugs me even more is that I think the only thing you feel you did wrong was not realize he only had one arm, and you haven't really examined the fact you have a serious superiority complex.
#68 - On 06/12/2009 at 11:32pm by PixelSlayer247
#48..
It clearly says British Columbia, Canada...Canada doesn' have states..just provinces.. so no. it wasn't your friend eric.
Honestly, i think a lot of ppl are making a big deal out of this. The guy probably doesn't even remember her. maybe if she'd smiled at him he would, but she didn't. so he probly just forgot about her. Besides, if he's as cute as she says and nicer than her, he can find a decent chick. I don't think there's any point in criticizing this girl, since i'm sure we've all wrongly interpretted someone's actions at some time or another and who knows, maybe the guy is a complete douch bag.
*coughretardcough*
What? No! I didn't say anything about you you self absorbed bitch......hehe oops
In other words, I wish a car ran you over when you got off, he was trying to be nice, you were trying to be a bitch.
Congratulations, you won the bitch contest and lost the cute guy. Don't worry bout him, Im sure he has a better friend now
XD YDI
