Today, I was at the mall with my little brother. I saw him touching some expensive objects, so I slapped his arm. I noticed he wasn't my brother when he started crying and his real mom slapped me in the face. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, at the mall my brother and I went to look at a vendor's items when my mom said not to touch anything. Thinking my brother was standing next to me, I saw him touching stuff so I smacked him in the arm and told him to stop. I turn to see that the old lady to my side was giving me a mean look. FML
Today, my little brother came into my room and hit me over the head with his baseball bat. He then dropped the bat onto my floor and ran crying into my mother's room proclaiming I stole his bat and beat him with it for fun. FML
Today, I went shopping with my two sons and my wife. We got separated after a while, and I spotted my son in the video game section of the store. I snuck up behind him and playfully slapped him on the back of the head. The kid turned around and it wasn't my son. His mom was none to happy. FML
Today, I visited my family. Over the course of 2 hours, my brother punched me, and my mom slapped me across the face after drinking way too much wine. When I started gathering my things to leave, my mom started crying about how I don't visit enough. FML
Today, I smacked my kid on top of the head for spinning the display rack while I was looking at greeting cards. It wasn't until he dramatically screamed and dropped to the floor wailing that I realized he wasn't my daughter. FML
Today, I had to take my little brother to the pool. He acted like a brat the whole time, and when I told him we were leaving, he ran away, slipped, and hit his face on the tile floor. He told my dad and step-mom I punched him. They believed him, and I'm grounded for two months. FML
Today, I was at the mall with my girlfriend's family. Her 7 year old brother told me he was feeling sad, so I tried to give him a pat on the back, but it turns out he had a bruise there. He yelled out "don't touch me there!" In the middle of the mall. Now her parents think I'm a pedophile. FML
Today, I went to pick up my little brother from his friend's house. When I got there, he ran off screaming that he didn't know me. His friend's parents believed him. FML
Today, I was babysitting my neighbor's kid. We were playing in the yard, when he fell and got a small scratch on his leg. I gasp, and he takes a huge breath in and yells, "FUUUCK!!!" as loud as possible. The parents thought it was me, and the mother slapped me in the face. FML
Today, my little brother was feeling like the god damned bratty douchebag he is and hurled a basketball at me. It missed, hit the wall, and rebounded straight into his face. He burst into tears, and I'm now grounded because my parents believed him when he said I threw it at him. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I like your approach of slap first, ask questions later. You would make a good pimp.

slapping and hitting are 2 different things. but this is still a ydi for not knowing who it was.

Guys, if you are complaining that he deserves it for slapping the child, then you are very wrong. Children don't learn by, "OH!!! HOW CUTE!! But we can't touch it." and walk off, when I was a child, when I did this, my mom slapped me, pretty hard too, and, it is like fire. Hand over fire, it hurts, you learn if it happens again, it hurts again. Now the mom of the child deserves for letting him run off and touch everything, who knows where a little childs hands are! OP: Man that sucks, I hope that lady gets a clue soon. But yeah, maybe checking could be a good idea, oh well, least you got the right idea.

I'm glad you're one of the few people left who have the common sense to smack a child if it's needed, but YDI for not LOOKING at who you were slapping first.

OMG after reading these comments i am appaled at what this world has come to!!!! since when does asking a child nicely to do something worked????? (especially if its a sibling your correcting) hell no it never has and never will!!! there is a diffrence in correcting a child and abusing one!!!! the op was clearly just correcting who she thought was her little brother. (which is an honest mistake) if this would have been me when i was little my parents would have taken me out of the store and tore my ass up for touching expensive and from what i may infer breakable things! hell no wonder most adolecents and young adults think there are no conciquences for their actions these days!! i thought that was just a new york and cali thing!

Agreed. Everyone needs to chill out. There's nothing wrong with a little slap on the hand/arm to get their attention. It's a pshycological thing. They learn not to do it quicker than being told nicely a bunch of times. I bet anybody who thinks that's abuse was one of snotty little kids whose parents let them get away with anything.

Haha, I'm sorry. I hate when people do this, but this is too much. As much as I agree with #41, I can't help noticing how young this particular commentor sounds. From the blatent overuse of big words and phrases like "apaled" "if i may infer" "adolecents" and "conciquedences" to the fact that (s)he said something like "what this world has come to" as if (s)he has been around long enough to see the world change. I sorry, but I just find it hilarious when kids try to sound older than they actually are and try and present an idea that, by itself, would work well and even stand up logically, just becomes a lopsided rant. I'm sure many of you will disagree, but I just couldn't let it go unnoticed...
