Embarrassing, Weird, Shopping and Awkward: Making a scene

Making a scene

By becca1417 - 01/09/2009 22:21 - United States

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

Today, I was in the gas station and I saw this creepy lady staring at me and smiling. She just didn't stop. I even gave an awkward wave to let her know that I saw her staring at me. Finally I decided to confront the woman, turns out the overly happy woman was a cardboard cut out FML

Today, I was shopping for clothes. I thought this guy was a mannequin because he was standing perfectly still. I poked him and he screamed like a girl. FML

Today, I realized just how shy and awkward I really am when I averted my eyes to avoid making eye contact with someone who turned out to be a cardboard cut-out. FML

Today, while walking home after a night of partying, I saw a thin, bald person in a suit looking at me from across the street. I got flashbacks to the Slender Man, screamed like a little bitch and ran. Then I realized I'd just humiliated myself in front of some random guy waiting for a bus. FML

My new friend

Today, I realized at the train station that every day for a month, I've been waving to a cardboard cut-out of a person in the morning. I thought they were real. They're cardboard. FML

Today, I was at the mall and I noticed this guy staring at me from across the food court. He smiled and waved at me so I walked over there and tried to talk to him. He was looking at his girlfriend the whole time. FML

Today, I was at a restaurant, and I saw my friend. When we made eye contact, I made a creepy face at her and twitched my arms to make her laugh. A woman looked over said sadly, "Oh my God, that poor girl!" She thought I was "special." FML

Today, I was at work at Walmart, casually walking in the middle of the store, when my foot caught on something, so I went flying forward and yelled, being caught off guard, to the point I had to pretend I was running for 3 seconds, then someone blocked my path so I suddenly had to stop. Everyone was staring at me. FML

Hey!

Today, I was waiting in line at a clothes store when someone cut in in front of me, and the gentlemen in front of me. I shouted, "Hey! Queue starts back here!". He responded by pointing out the "gentlemen" in front was actually a very realistic mannequin. FML

Creeped out

By hotandbothered - 03/02/2010 06:24 - United States

Today, I was developing film at Walmart. It started to get a little warm, so I began taking my sweatshirt off. A creepy old man approached me, saying "You know, usually girls like you are paid to take their clothes off." FML

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.

That happened to me except it was a cutout of Harrison Ford, but I didn't feel scared. I felt protected.

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.

This seems like it would belong at MLIA, not FML.

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.

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"
