Today, I was freshening up my makeup in the car before a date. An old lady walked by and said through my open window, "Don't bother. There's no helping you, honey." FML

Today, I got rear-ended at a stoplight by a woman who had been doing her make-up while driving. She didn't get out to see if I was okay until she had finished perfectly applying both lipliner and gloss. FML
Today, I was helping my elderly neighbor carry her groceries into her kitchen. When I finished, she sighed and said, "You're such a sweet girl. It's just a shame about your face." FML

Today, I was sitting in the bus station when an old woman looked over at me, then said to her friend, "Young women are so pretty these days." Her friend looked up at me and said, "That's because makeup is so cheap these days." FML
Today, I was taking the subway to school. I was applying some makeup when I noticed a little boy watching me. When I was finished I heard him whisper to his mom, "I thought make up was supposed to make you pretty." FML

Today, an old lady asked me the way to the shopping mall. The shopping mall was not too far away, but I could see that the lady could barely walk so I offered to drive her there. She smacked my car's door into a pole while getting in my car. She didn't even notice that she'd done something wrong. FML
Today, I was talking to a charming young lady on MSN by webcam. She suddenly asked me to take my glasses off for a minute; I did so, and she said, "Oh never mind, you're still just as ugly..." FML
Today, I pulled over to help an attractive girl on the highway in the middle of nowhere. When I asked if she needed help she told me she was going to try starting her car one more time. She then started to make fake engine noises and told me that she was good to go and that I should be on my way. FML

Should have said "Ditto, you're going to be dead pretty soon." Give her a taste of her own medicine, the elderly come out with some awful comments sometimes...

She's probably jealous of the love story (heck, all the stories) you have to look forward to in your young life now that she's almost reached the end of her road (and it's probably littered with regret and bitterness). Don't worry. Hope you had a great date.

The fact that you were putting on makeup before a DATE says a lot. Nasty, envious old hag.

OP- You know, in re-reading this one, maybe ole grammaw meant to be saying was "You're perfect the way you are, honey, there's no way makeup can improve on your youthful perfection!" but her dementia demons got her all tongue tied..... Either that or she's a bitter bitch.... Your call!
