Today, I wore my high school letterman jacket while I was out shopping. A man saw me and muttered to his wife about how sad it is some adults can't grow up and continue to wear their high school paraphernalia, constantly trying to relive their senior year. I am a senior. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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
Today, I ran into some friends from high school who had just gotten back from college. We were talking about what happened during our sophomore year. When it was my turn to tell them what I had been doing, all I could say was, "Well, I started wearing V-neck t-shirts and they're pretty comfortable." FML
Today, I discovered that I can fit back into the clothes I wore in High School. I was proud of this until my husband told me that I look like a stuffed sausage in them. FML
Today, my husband's high school friends got together tonight. Nothing more pathetic than listening to a bunch of losers reliving their glory days as high school seniors. I honestly thought I would have picked someone better than this. My husband fucking peaked at 17. FML
Today, I was wearing a letterman jacket that had my school name and "Okinawa Japan" on the back. A high school kid walks up to me and says, "I can't forgive you people for bombing Pearl Harbor." I'm black. FML
Today, it occurred to me that it’s not normal that I still fit into all my clothes from when I was in high school. I’m 24 and I haven’t outgrown any of my clothes since I was 12. FML
Today, I bought a new shirt I thought looked cool. At work, three people complimented me, then each one added a variation of, “My dad has the same one!” By lunch, my confidence had left the building entirely. A coworker even asked if I’d gotten it from the “retro section.” FML
Today, was my high school's senior awards ceremony. Over 400 people were crammed in the hot auditorium. I won five awards and each time I was called up the laughter grew louder. Apparently even the back row could see my pit stains. FML
Today, I went to my high school reunion. I was super excited to see what everyone had done in their lives. The nerdy guy I bullied is now a U.S. Marine and already has two deployments in Afghanistan under his belt. He looked at me in his dress blues and said, "I remember you." FML
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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I actually like the fact that I look older than I am because people take me more seriously.

So you look older than you do, not a big deal. Would you rather have a baby face?

I like how the guy didn't look at the year on the jacket before judging. Dumbass

So what, you're a senior. Just get a bunch of your AARP thug buddies to jump that guy and beat the crap out of him. You earned that jacket about fifty years ago, so you have the right to put it on whenever. Oh, you elderly folks are so cute when you put on your clothes from back in the day. Rock around the clock, hep cat! ;)

perdix has the right idea! wear it until it can't be worn anymore! and who cares if you've grown a few sizes since your high school graduation -- you earned that jacket! |the kid|

Ydi for not calling him out.. Say "it's pretty sad how people feel like they have to pass judgement on people they don't even know..especially when I am a senior...ass.." I wish people would speak their minds more often...

Looking older was great, until I hit 21, and now at 26 it sucks. But if I actually paid the $60 for the danged jacket...you can bet I'd be wearing it until it wore out. Fortunately I was smart enough to just buy a $10 frame for my letter.

The jackets at my High School cost like 100 or 110 bucks :/

where I'm from its popular to put your graduation year on your right shoulder. (example. mine says 04) its interesting to see someone who has an older coat, a guy at my chiropractor's office had one from 72.
