Casual racism
Today, I found out why my coworkers never invite me anywhere. Apparently, I "made a face" when one of them used the N-word, and it makes them uncomfortable to be around me. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I found out my co-workers don't actually like me when they changed the hangout spot after accidentally inviting me. FML
Today, I found out why my friends don’t invite me to Karaoke Thursday Nights anymore. Apparently, I act like a “show off” and “presumptuous” and make the others feel bad. It’s not my fault I have a decent singing voice. I guess they don’t like that. FML
Today, I was sitting with a group of people at lunch. I was having a bad day, so I began venting to them. Eventually, they got tired of it and banned me from the table, because my "depressing mindset" reminds them of their trauma. FML
Today, at work, I overheard two of my coworkers talking about how "creepy" and "ugly" I am, and that I look like I'd be the kind of guy to sneak into someone's house and "have my way" with them. Boy, did that sure help with my self-esteem issues. I'm going to go and report them, but still. FML
Today, I got fired from my job for having a resting bitch face when I get frustrated or when I'm concentrating on my work. According to them, I have to work on my "anger issues." FML
Today, I was told that a coworker of mine absolutely hates me. Why? Because sometimes I have a slight stutter, and he thinks I'm mocking his very apparent stutter. FML
Today, I found out one of my "friends" is “scared” to talk to me because I’m black. FML
Today, I finally found out why my new co-worker has been shooting me dirty looks, being rude to me, and generally trying to avoid me. It's because I have blonde hair and blue eyes, and she thinks people like me are Nazis. FML
Today, I overheard a conversation between coworkers, during which my name was mentioned, then, "and then I followed her around for a bit, but she didn’t do it again." Everyone laughed. I've no idea what I did that was so funny. FML
Today, I found out I wasn't invited to the annual family reunion. The reason? Everyone thinks I'm "creepy" because I'm the only adult who will go out and play with the kids. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Why would you want to be invited to hangout with people that use the N-word?

Some people are just uncouth and don't take that word seriously. It doesn't necessarily mean they're bad people out racist. But excluding someone just because they're not comfortable with the entirety of your vocabulary is mean.

No, #4, I think using the N word when you aren't black is pretty racist.

#4: As a black person, I say gtfo with that. Every white person I know who uses the n-word insists time and time again that they aren't racist, but are still somehow totally comfy with using a racial slur that has been used against black people since...well for a pretty long time! And besides, if you aren't black, you don't get to decide whether or not the n-word is racist. And if you ARE black and comfortable with it, fine. But not everyone will be, and that should be fine too.

Resting bitch face keeps your face wrinkle free longer!

I have an oily face so I like to think I have a natural moisturizer that prevents wrinkles lol. I am mistaken for a high schooler way too often.

The N-word is uncomfortable though. I don't think you did wrong.

Start dressing as a rap star and calling the n-word to everybody, they'll start making faces too and then you can sqy they make you uncomfortable

And then OP can lose their job, eh? Just ignore it, you can find some better friends, OP!

That's just their cover. The truth is that they're intimidated by your charm and good looks.

You're probably better off. people like that tend to be poor company.

Was it your o-face? Because that's the only reason anyone should ever be uncomfortable about someone 'making a face' at the n-word.
