Today, I overheard a girl and a guy sitting behind me on the bus who were talking about Skyrim, one of my favourite games. After a while, I turned around and, as a fellow gamer, thanked them for restoring my faith in humanity. They went very quiet. I'm now that weird guy on the bus. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, while watching a movie on my iPad, a really cute girl sat next to me. Suddenly, everyone on the bus started clapping. I started to clap very loudly as well, asking the girl why we were clapping. She gave me a strange look. I then realized the applause was coming from my headphones. FML
Today, a girl started talking to me at the bus stop. After it descended into an awkward silence, I jumped on my bus to avoid further conversation. She got on the same bus. And got off at the same stop. I swear the whole bus could feel the tension. FML
Today, I had a rough day and just let it all out while I was gaming. A random stranger actually replied to me, genuinely concerned, and I proceeded to vent about all my problems. It was only after they left that I realized a random stranger on the Internet now cares more about my mental health than my own family. FML
Today, while riding the bus, a creepy guy gave me the "rape glare" and another guy repeated every word to the conversation I was having with my friend under his breath. FML
Today, I was riding a bus. After having a conversation with my friend, I looked down and saw a little boy looking at me. He asked, "Are you a boy or a girl?" As if that wasn't bad enough, when I responded that I was a girl, he said, "Oh. So, why do you have a boy voice then?" FML
Today, I greeted every passenger cheerfully getting onto my bus all morning. At one stop, I said, “Good morning!” to someone who didn’t respond, so I repeated it louder… only to realize they were wearing headphones and now passengers were staring at me like I was a pissy Karen. FML
Today, while on a crowded public bus, a cute girl asked if she could sit next to me. Problem is, I didn't hear correctly and thought she asked if anyone was sitting next to me. I answered no, causing her to walk off angrily and earning me several disgusted stares from other passengers. FML
Today, I was interacting with someone on a video game, and the topic somehow got switched to mental illness. When I told him about my problems, he was very sympathetic and understanding. A complete stranger cares more about me than my actual family. I'm not sure if I should be happy or crying. FML
Today, as I walked on to the bus, the girl I liked whispered something to her friend. Curious, I asked what was so funny. She said she never realized that when I got on, I shook the bus. FML
Today, while I was gaming, a girl using voice chat was probably the most polite person I have ever encountered in my life. It was only after I logged off that I realized she spoke to me with more affection and respect than my own mother ever has in my entire life. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Relax. You were probably that weird guy on the bus WAY before this incident.

It must not take a lot to make you lose faith in humanity.

I'm always excited when I meet people who enjoy video games. Skyrim is pretty kick-ass, who cares if they think you're weird.

Don't give up on humanity yet!

I like nerds.

"You play video games, therefore you're an awkward nerd" That stereotype died in the 1990's. Everyone games now.

Why don't you mind your own damned business? If you're going to eavesdrop, keep it to yourself. Don't out yourself like that, dumbass. You ARE the weird guy on the bus.

Hmm, i hear a boy and girl talking about Skyrim. Thank God this makes me feel so much better! I'll awkwardly tell them that they have restored my faith in humanity! He must of not thought that through.

You're pretty funny usually, but lately your comments are just pissing me off. (Commence thumb downs for not praising Doc)

@tylersign I have to agree with you

He *is* called DocBastard. We should expect to be pissed off by him.
TheDrifter 24
Are you an annoying, butt into conversations eavesdropper too? Or just butthurt that he isn't praising Skyrim?
DocBastard 40
Tylersign and sailoroftheseas - a thousand pardons for not pleasing you! Please accept my humblest of apologies! Whatever can I do to make you happy? I am here for your amusement!

DocBastard, you're not funny anymore. Get over it.

Aww, look at the little babies crying. If you're getting THAT pissed off one commenter not making you laugh, YOU ARE THE WEIRD GUY ON THE BUS TOO. When you start paying DocBastard by the comment, then you can complain. Until then maybe you should grow up and go back to commenting "lol" "win" "rofl" and all that shit.

Koolkat - You're right. Maybe I should just stop commenting if I've lost that humourous edge. Damn. You win. Goodbye, FML.

I don't have anything against you, I just thought he was right in this case..

To reply to Doc's original comment, if you want to join random peoples conversation, you can't just jump in, you're not in Skyrim, you have to be tactful. And join their faction and do quests for them that make them like you more first.

When people do that kind of stuff I become convinced they have a social disorder.

That's what you get for eavesdropping.

I think thanking them for 'restoring your faith in humanity' was a smidddge too far :)
