Today, I saw my former high school teacher at the mall. After a nice conversation, she mentioned that I "still dress like a slut." FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I went to my high school reunion. Someone walked up to me and said, "Wow, you look so different!" She then followed it up with, "You used to be so pretty, what happened?" FML
Today, I was at the store when I ran into an old friend from high school. He didn't recognize me at first, but when I told him who I was, he instantly shouted "Oh! Yeah! The fat chick from Mr. H's class!" FML
Today, I went back to my high school for an event with some of my friends, both of which are in relationships. Whilst there we saw our favorite teacher, who hugged us and said, "I heard you have a boyfriend! And so do you!" And then she turned to me and said, "And... And you're doing great things!" FML
Today, I ran into an old student of mine at the grocery store. She didn't recognize me at first so I introduced myself as her old teacher. She looked taken aback for a moment, and then said, "Oh my God... you're still alive?" FML
Today, I had to go to the mall for a quick errand. While there one of my friends who works at a phone booth was there and I stayed for a little bit chatting with him. While chatting, a girl passed by. She was so pretty that I blurted out, "What a woman!" out loud. Turns out it was my ex. FML
Today, I went to my little cousin's school to pick her up and it happened to be my old elementary school. I saw my old teacher and went up to say hi, and after a few minutes she goes "Aren't you the girl who's dad always came in drunk on parent's day?" Nice to know that's how I'm remembered. FML
Today, I went to my son's parent teacher conference. Imagine my shock when I found out his second grade teacher is the girl I chastised at Walmart yesterday for being covered in trashy tattoos. FML
Today, I found out my sex-ed teacher from high school was married and had her first child while she herself was still in high school. Looks like she didn't pay enough attention in sex-ed. FML
Today, I saw my middle school best friend and former girlfriend for the first time in two years. They were making out in our new high school’s library. Two years ago, he said she was a skank, and she said he was a creep, before never speaking to me again. FML
Today, I, a person who has graduated high school, encountered one of my high school teachers in public. The one known for her rampant ableism against me and tendency to get heated when people don't respond immediately to her when she talks. I've had horrible social anxiety for several years. Do the math. FML

That's when you say, "I didn't think it was possible but you definitely got older" and catwalk away.

I LOVE getting teachers to talk honestly about their students. It's rare but always funny. As for you, OP, you have to decide if this perception bothers you. If so, change your clothes 'cause I'm sure she's not the only one who thinks that. But if doesn't bother you, more power to ya!

She probably doesnt think of it as much of an offensive term as the rest of us.

#17: I understand your frustration, but amazingly people may have the same thought as you. You shouldn't get your feathers ruffled over something so unimportant as a post.

17- just throwing it out there, not everyone reads every single comment on a FML before posting their own.

No no, you misunderstand, I am genuinely happy that he reitterated what I said in my comment, more people will get the message!

For someone who should be a role model that's super rude. Ignore it. If she's your former teacher, clearly you've graduated and moved on with your life. :)

Just ignore her, you can dress however you want!

You can dress however you want, but you don't want to send the wrong message purely based on clothes. It's not right to judge based on appearance, but sadly, it still happens.

This just reeks of unprofessionalism and jealously... Did you steal her favorite pedo boy-toy without knowing?

Oh, I love seeing teachers outside of school. It's like seeing a dog walk on its hind legs. -mean girls

Well, remember what Dave Chapelle said: "Just because you wear slutty things doesn't make you a ****, but you have to understand: you may not be a ****, but you're wearing a ****'s uniform."
