Today, I was at work and a guy walked up holding his phone with the camera facing me. He then looks up at me and says, "I'm not taking a picture of you. I'm just trying to catch a Pokemon." And here I was thinking that I looked nice today. FML

Same thing different taste

Pokéman gone

Today, I thought a cute and well-dressed guy, with a mask matching his shoes, was taking a picture of me. Flattered, I approached him. Turns out, he was playing Pokémon Go and was just trying to catch a “Geodude.” He also blurted out that he was gay. He's into dudes and Geodudes. FML

Call the fuzz

Today, I was playing Pokémon Go and I was trying to take a picture of my Pokémon when a woman said, "Are you filming me?" really angrily at me. "No, I'm playing Pokémon go," I said, then tried to show her my Pokémon but it disappeared from the screen, and she said, "You ARE filming me." FML

Not so sneaky

Today, I was trying to take a sneaky picture of a cute guy sitting across from me on a train. My phone’s flash went off. I panicked, dropped my phone, and then had to awkwardly stand up to retrieve it while he just smirked at me, clearly aware of what had just happened. FML

Today, I saw a group of attractive guys at the mall. One of them looked exactly like a friend, so I decided to take a picture. Trying to be discreet, I put my phone up to my ear as if I was making a phone call, and pressed the capture button. The flash went off. FML

Today, I was at Sea World and was about to take a picture of the big walrus. I noticed my phone was still set to use the front camera, and I muttered "Oops, selfie mode." A guy next to me turned, looked at me, and said "Not like there's a difference for you." FML

Today, I was walking my dog. A cute guy stopped me and said, "Wow, you are gorgeous!" I said thanks. He looked at me like I was nuts and said, "Not you, your dog." FML

Today, I was at the Apple Store taking random pictures of myself. I took one with a really stupid face. This girl passes by and says, "Wow, that's a cool effect! You look just like an alien!" I wasn't using any effects. It was a regular picture. FML

Today, at work I got a message from some dude trying to flirt with me. While I was cracking up and making fun of him with my friends, I get a message from him saying look directly behind you, and there he was staring at me. FML

Today, I was walking when a man pointed a camera at me. I got bitchy about it, and said "Did I say you could take a picture?" He replied with, "No, but can you get the fuck out of the way so I can take one of my wife and kids?" I turned around, and they were right behind me. FML

Today, I was at an amusement park with friends. We wanted to get a picture of all four of us, so we asked a nice-looking man to take it for us on my brand-new iPhone 6s. He took something. Unfortunately, it wasn't a picture. FML

I'm sure he didn't mean any harm, probably just trying to inform you he's not a creep. I think it'd be pretty weird if he was trying to take a picture of you

...So, you actually want some random ******** to take pictures of you for wanking purposes? Call me crazy, but I would consider Pokemon Go to be a far better than taking my picture.

It's crazy how addictive it is. My husband now makes me drive when we go out together so he can play that game.

Me and my husband have a system. He drives and I play two games at once. Really difficult, but doable to a point. Yep, we're a little ridiculous about it.

That's why I have the AR turned off. Makes it more comfortable to play.

He didn't say you didn't? He was just making sure you knew he wasn't a creep taking a picture of a stranger without permission..

Don't you know? If that random ******** is hot, it's okay for him to take pictures of someone. He's only a creep if he isn't hot. /sarcasm

It's really amazing what some guys can get away with if they are good looking. I'm friends with a guy that's a total douche, but admittedly pretty handsome and he does all the textbook creeper shit. Staring, taking pictures, unwanted contact, etc. and most girls go along with it.

Did you ever consider maybe he isn't a "********"

Nah it's totally true. I had the same thing happen at my other job. Dude was a total douche nugget and super lazy but was never fired. It's amazing what you can get away with if you have looks.

So let me get this straight he did something respectively and informed what he was doing and automatically he's a random dick head.

i think he's saying anyone who'd go into a shop and take a photo of someone without permission is a ********, not the guy playing Pokémon

Oh My Christ. My brother plays that game and everyone at work plays that game. On brakes I see people walking around the factory looking for pokemons. It feels like the world changed over night.
