Today, I was putting on cream and my son asked what it was for. I told him it was to keep the wrinkles away. He looked at me closely and replied, "I don't think it's working." FML

70% off something you didn't need, a stampede and a cart that crashes at checkout. Thanks, Black Friday.
Today, I looked at my face to see if my new age-defying lotion was working. My skin does look younger, it's covered in pimples like a teenager's. FML
Today, I was with my four year-old daughter when we met an elderly, rather wrinkled woman I know. My daughter looked at her for a while and then asked, "Why doesn’t your skin fit your face?" FML
Today, I discovered the effect the cream has that my mom gave me. It was for my acne and it worked, in a way. Instead of having a lot of little pimples, I now just have a few gigantic ones. FML
Today, while looking in the mirror at my full-blown grease-spewing acne-riddled face, my father came up behind me and said, "Don't worry son, I had acne like that when I was your age". I replied, "No you didn't", and his immediate response while laughing was, "No, I didn't." FML
Today, my 6 year-old daughter saw me putting on makeup and asked, “Mommy, are you trying to look less tired or more alive?” FML
Today, a man walked through my line with a XL bottle of lotion and many boxes of tissues. As I was ringing him up, the customer broke the silence by saying, "Yeah my son won't stop using the cooking oil for his 'personal time'", finger-air-quotes and all. FML
Today, my six-year-old son told me my makeup looks like his grandmother's did in the casket. FML
Today, the clerk at Walmart asked me if the stretch mark cream I was buying was for my wife. I wish I could've said yes. FML
Today, I had a heat rash on my crotch. I asked my mom for cortisone cream. While I was putting it on, it suddenly started burning. It turns out she gave me arthritis cream. FML
Today, I realized that the tingly feeling on my face when I put a new combination of acne wash, acne medication, and my usual moisturizer on was not, in fact, "it working." It was slowly peeling away the top layer of skin. I look and feel sunburned. I also still have acne and oily skin. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Assuming it's one of those collagen skin creams then yeah it won't work. Collagen is deep within your skin and cream barely penetrates a few layers. You're wasting your money.

My mom used a shit load of those. They don't work. The sooner you realize that, the better. You're just wasting money. It's 100% understandable why you would use them though. I mean, no one wants to actually look their age anymore..

All the FMLs with kids saying something like this aren't exactly FML material. They're little kids! Like that one show says, Kids say the darndest things. I completely agree with #34!

He's probably right since creams don't do much for those. Besides, you should be happy with how you look without having to change anything.

I'm getting real ******* tired of people bitching about fml's. If you don't like them, STOP READING THEM. Then you won't have to bitch about them 24/7. Jesus H. And why such high expectations? Good god, not all of them consist of life changing fails. Deal with it. ****.
