Today, a kid with severe Down's came into my workplace, as he does every day. He's has an obsession with me, sitting at a table, staring and taking photos of me all day. His parents have no problem with this, because they think it's a miracle that he can focus so much attention on me for so long. FML

Today, my coworker and I were sitting and eating lunch. We noticed a little kid kept staring at us, and every time we looked away he would come a little bit closer. When he was right behind us, I looked and was startled enough to jump. The parents were three tables down, laughing uncontrollably. FML

Today, and every day, a homeless looking man walks into my work, sits down and stares. I'm new to the job so, trying to make new friends, when the guy walked in this time, I went over to a co worker I was really clicking with, and went off about how creepy he was. He replied with "Who, my dad?" FML

Porque no los dos?

Today, just like every other day, I noticed that one of my male coworkers always stares at me while passing by or when it's time for lunch. I read somewhere that if a person stares at you too long, they either want to have sex with you or want to kill you. He has a girlfriend, so I doubt it's the first option. FML

Today, I was eating at a restaurant in town, when a small boy started looking at me. I simply smiled and went back to eating, only to hear out of the corner of my ear, "Daddy, why does that kid's face look like that"? He said it so loud, the three tables next to us turned and looked. FML

Today, while at a psychiatric hospital working as a student nurse, I discovered one of the patients had developed an unhealthy obsession for me. He was admitted for stalking and abusing a girl who looked just like me. It's only my first week. FML

Joe's at it again

By bourneenemy - 19/01/2022 11:01 - United States - Pico Rivera

Today, same as recently, there's some guy constantly standing in front of my building waiting for me to come out, just to stare at me and then get mad when I walk to my car, to the store, to the bank, and even followed me into the lobby to see what floor I get off at, like a weirdo. What should I do? FML

Bugging out

By Anonymous - 07/11/2023 16:00 - Italy

Today, there's a guy in my class who I'm very attracted to. I'm hyperconscious of him for that, and I worry about the impression I give. By now though, there have been at least two different eye contact occasions that made it look like I was staring at him when I was NOT, and now I must look like a creepy stalker. FML

Today, I went to my Calculus lecture, one of a class of 200 people. As I looked down I noticed that a guy a few rows in front of me was on Facebook. When I took a closer look, I noticed he was viewing my profile. He stalked the profile for a full 45 minutes. I have never met this guy in my life. FML

Narcissist Mom

By ItsYou - 22/11/2023 10:00

Today, my coworker was going on and on about how her son was nice and got good grades but that she needed to find him a therapist because he's too shy in class, and how she didn't want her friends to think badly of her. She's a counselor. I sat in silence for almost an hour, because all I could think was, "WTF? Poor kid." FML

Today, I decided to make new friends, so I sat with the lonely guy at lunch. Now he keeps following me, with his phone in a camera position. FML

At least you're getting attention. People with Downs are just like anybody else, they're just a little bit different. Stop being such a bitch and give the kid a freakin break .

If the boy is "just like everyone else" she can have a restraining order placed on him.

I understand that he has a disability, but that doesn't mean you don't have the right to stand up for yourself. If it makes you uncomfortable (which it obviously does) and it's ongoing, you certainly have a right to ask him to leave, getting his parents to do something, or, if your other efforts don't work, going to the police. I agree with #47 and #59!

It must be really awkward but your helping him focus. I bet the parents are really grateful for that. You should feel special (not special ed) that you are helping someone.

that joke was not only unfunny but it just displays your own ignorance.

um, really? do you seriously think that this is funny? cause its not. my brother has downs, and he can't help some of the things that he does. sure its embarrassing, and it may make people uncomfortable, but its just what he does, and its not his fault. so putting this up on FML is so low for someone to do, seriously. just think if you were living his life, and you can tell me if you can change how you do things, because obviously you don't understand that he can't change what/how he does things.

I think the parents need to ask for permission to take pics of you! Honestly you are probably making his day, Just ask the parents to set limits! The parents are not mind readers!

when i was in high school i knew a boy with down syndrom as well. he took a liking to me, he would sit with me at lunch, and find me in the halls on breaks. i didnt mind, because he is just like everybody else with a crush. he just had a different way of showing it. when he actually asked him out i apologized and told him i had a boyfriend (which i did so all you people who will have something to say about that, know that i am not lying) once i told him, he was fine with that, he said "oh sorry, come find me when you are single again." he was very funny, and very sweet, dont be a bitch, if it really bugs you that much, talk to him... NICELY, people with down syndrom are NOT stupid, they are just like us. He will understand, just stop being rude about it seriously!
