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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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.

I like skyrim as much as the next guy but restores your faith in humanity? That's all it takes? Why not world peace?

I know, eh? Gamers are everywhere. I now have long, nerdy conversations with people I know that actively avoided video games, but are now insane about Skyrim.

Skyrim? I mean.. honestly now, it's not like it's MW3.

Meh, when you've played one Modern Warfare you've played them all.

A generic RPG or yet another WWII shooter? At least play something innovative if you want fun.

OP, things may have gone better if you'd politely interjected, then explained yourself before dropping a restoration of faith comment. It's no more digestible than a passing, out of context snippet of biblical gobbledigook from some crazy street corner zealot.

They're the weird ones, let's be honest. I wouldve continued the conversation but include you as well. They're obviously not legit enough to be considered real gamers.

Uhm. What does not knowing internet memes have anything to do with being a "real gamer"? As far as I was aware, being a real gamer means that you play video games.

Who ever said anything about Internet memes?

I hate people who say things like that.

Skyrim is one of the greatest games ever made. My favorite is Final Fantasy VII though.
