Today, after getting an expensive haircut, I showed it to my boyfriend. Instead of saying, "Wow, those bangs look great on you" he said, "Wow, you look really good when you don't show your forehead." FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I cut my bangs. When I asked my boyfriend if he liked it he said, "It's like I'm dating a new girl, this way I won't get bored with you." FML
Today, I was at the hairdresser's getting a trim. The lady doing my hair commented on how beautiful and luscious my hair was, which made me feel really good. I later overheard her telling her colleague that hair as nice as mine was wasted on someone with a face like mine. FML
Today, I was excited about showing off my new haircut. All my friends thought it looked really good and it made me look older. What did my boyfriend think? He said I look like a little girl and he was afraid to kiss me in public because he didn't want someone to think he was a pedophile. FML
Today, I tried a new hairstyle to impress a guy I like. I was pretty confident, until he took one look at me and said, "Uh... why's there an onion on your head?" So much for that. FML
Today, my bartender noticed my new haircut before my live-in boyfriend did. FML
Today, I had my hair done for the first time in 3 years. I loved it. My boyfriend told me I look like his ex. FML
Today, I showed my new haircut to my friends. One of them said, "Wow, it’s brave to try something different." I didn’t realize that "brave" was code for "bad." FML
Today, I went to get a haircut. I have a pretty bad case of dandruff, so whenever I get one, a lot of it shows. My hairstylist called to her nearby friend twice, then looked at my hair and said, "Blech" under her breath. I got glares when I walked out. FML
Today, I cut my own hair. It looks great. Absolutely professional. From the front, that is. FML
Today, my boyfriend gushed for several minutes about how amazing it is that I suddenly look hot when he takes his glasses off. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Maybe he was trying to compliment you. Quit whining about something so small.

Stop being a whiney child. And can anyone tell me why Americans (and presumably, some other nationalities) call a fringe 'bangs'?

[Apologies if this double-posts] Since you've asked so nicely, here's the abridged version from Word Detective: "... by the 19th century [bang] was used to convey suddenness or finality [...] 'Bangs' are so-called because they are created by cutting the hair 'bang- off,' abruptly and straight across the forehead. [...] 'Bangs' as a young lady's hairstyle almost certainly originated with the practice of cutting horses' tails straight across, a style known to this day as a 'bang-tail.'"

Can anyone tell me why some nationalities call bangs "fringe?" Maybe because it's a word in our dialect, dumbass.

There's no reason to be rude. He/she asked nicely, and it's not a terrible question. I, myself, am curious about the different type of words English speaking countries use.

Yes, you're screwed because the words you were looking for didn't come out of his mouth. YDI for looking for a specific response. And YDI for paying a lot of money for a haircut.

I always thought bangs were the bits that hang at the side of the face, not a fringe, haha! Bangs sounds so strange to me.

Actually, fringe is the correct worldwide terminology to use. Pretty much the USA is the only country that knows what "bangs" refer to.

So what? You have a big forehead. Deal with it and stop moaning about it.
