Today, after lifting a 20 pound box of oranges for a woman at work, she turned around to say, "Your acne needs help." I still had to tell her to have a good day. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I had a lady come up to me in a store just to tell me how bad my acne was and what remedies I should use. I got so embarrassed, all I could say was, "OK" and, "Thank you" until she left me alone. FML
Today, I got in line at the grocery store. The woman in front of me looked right at me, turned to her friend, and said "That reminds me, I forgot to get acne cream." FML
Today, a woman at the crowded mall stopped me and told me loudly that if I bought her product it would get rid of my acne. FML
Today, I was helping my elderly neighbor carry her groceries into her kitchen. When I finished, she sighed and said, "You're such a sweet girl. It's just a shame about your face." FML
Today, I was feeling pretty down due to a recent back injury, so I thought I’d do something nice to help lift my spirits. I bought some cookies for my coworkers, who ended up not wanting any, and one of them decided to ask what was wrong with my face. Oh, right, my acne rosacea is flaring too. FML
Today, at work, I cashed out a sweet old lady. As I handed her the bag, she looked at me kindly and said, "Don’t worry sweetie. It'll get better," to which I responded, "What will get better?" She smiled at me and said, "Your face." FML
Today, at work as an optician, I gave a little girl a new pair of glasses and asked her if she could see better with them. She replied, "Oh, yeah, you've got two big zits on your nose!" FML
Today, when I arrived at work, I was greeted by my gorgeous coworker telling me my red shirt looked awesome on me. Before I could compliment her, she added that the color was fitting perfectly with my acne. I heard a couple of giggles around me. FML
Today, I was talking with some friends and the girl I like. During a lull in the conversation, she looked at me and said, "Ugh, I really wanna pop your zits." FML
Today, at my job in a chemists, I had a customer ask me which acne cream I would recommend. I picked up the brand I use and told her that I've been using it for a year now. After pausing to stare at my face for a second, she thanked me and picked up the competing brand instead. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Wow, I would've thrown those oranges at her ignorant face. At least I like to think that's what I would've done. What a bitch.

I used proactive for a while and it worked for a while but then it stopped working and got worse :(. now I use acnefree which is cheaper and better than proactive, at least for me, and you can get it in stores. but OP try different products and you'll find what works best, if all else fails try oral medication and or cover it with makeup.

wow you had to lift 20 whole pounds?! how did you manage such an impressive feat?! I can't believe that woman would insult a world class athlete such as yourself like that!

You should have "accidentally" dropped the box of oranges on her feet. What a bitch.

You should have said "so does your waistline, have a nice day."

Clearly OP wasn't complaining about lifting 20 pounds as much as having to deal with a bitchy customer. Idk why everyone is misunderstanding that... anyway, FYL. Although rude people are everywhere. But you can feel better knowing that your quality of life is probably better than their's if they feel the need to put other people down to make themselves feel better; something is probably lacking in their lives and this is the only feeling of power they can get :)

I might have asked if that was an offer. At least it forces her to come out and say she felt like insulting me for no particular reason. It usually makes people uncomfortable to acknowledge that they have taken the moral low ground.

Spit on her and tell her it isn't acne, it's herpes. Continue by saying you got it from eating out her Mom. Hey, if she's going to be immature, you can too!

Am I the only one wondering what the **** anyone would need 20lbs worth of orange for? I see 10lb boxes of mandarin oranges in stores near Christmas and even they seem a bit extreme; by the time you get to the bottom of the box the last one's always gone kind of soft, and I'll eat those oranges like a stereotypical fat kid eats donuts. Maybe some sort of recipe?! :s
