Not a wife guy
Today, I went to a restaurant with my mother, where the waiter complimented my "wife". I'm not 18, and she's over 40. FML

Today, I was at work refreshing the shelves when a man turned the corner and said, very surprised, "You look 12!" A few weeks back, two people did the same thing, only they said I looked 9. I'm almost 21 years old, and just very short. Starting to get just a little self conscious here. FML

Today, I told my boss her new haircut made her look younger. She smiled and said, “Oh, thank you!” I tried to double down on the compliment and said, “Yeah, like... 20 years ago younger!” She stopped smiling. It turns out that would’ve made her twelve. FML

Today, I was stopped by a customer who told me that I looked like a nice woman. I thanked him for the compliment and pointed out that I was a man. With an obviously male name on my name tag. And visible facial hair. FML

Today, while I was in a bathroom stall, I overheard my younger coworkers discussing my age. They said, “How old is she? Some days she looks like she's 35 and other days she looks like she's 58!” FML

Today, I uploaded a photo of myself at the beach on Facebook. The first comment it got was "Wow!! If I was 20 yrs younger, oh boy ;)". Yeah, thanks for that, grandpa. FML

I'm a mess
Today, I was at my usual grocery store when an elderly lady smiled at me and said, "It's so nice to see a young person not obsessed with their appearance." I was dressed in sweats, I hadn't showered, and hadn't brushed my hair. I’m not sure if I should be flattered or insulted. FML

Just think, when you reach 40, you'll look good for someone who should have died 10 years ago. You could be the hottest cougar at your high school prom.

Make-up is suprisingly ageing! Lots of young girls don't realise that, especially when they cake it on... Perhaps she wears too much make up? cover up the spots and a bit of mascara will do the trick, no need to put a full face on, or you will look 80! (I know this from experience!!)

there was this girl at my school and she was 17 and she looked at least 45 but she didn't do drugs or smoke or anything. i thought she was a teacher until she was in one of my classes. so i don't think this is fake. but that does suck a lot. moisturize? haha i don't know. fyl. i look like i'm 14 but i'm really 18. i think that will be a good thing one day. yay. :)

How is this FML when someone assume you younger than you actually are? How is this FML?

Huh??? The OP is really 18 years old and the woman thought she was 40, not the other way round...

this doesnt make any sense. did you tell him you were forty? if he assumed you were then he wouldnt have said you looked good for your age, he wouldve just said you looked your age. you lie.

This has happened to me... I was 13 (I was tall for my age and and early bloomer!) and I got mightily pissed off with older lads chatting me up thinking I was in my 20's. I took great pleasure out of loudly announcing I was sufficiently below the age of consent to get them sent to prison for a LONG time. Now however (bitter, bitter!) I look about 35 (I'm 20) and people seem so suprised to find out I'm not a "mature" student but in fact, straight out of 6th form.... I feel for this girl! I don't smoke or passive smoke, I eat my 5 a day and I gym 3 times a week - I think fate just hates me! :P
