Today, I was walking around my college campus when someone asked me if I'd gotten separated from my tour group. He didn't believe me when I said I was a student here. This happens all the time. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my boyfriend and I came across the topic of school while chatting. He asked me what high school I went to and where I moved from. I have lived here my whole life, he was my crush for four years, and was in my classes throughout those years. He doesn't believe me. FML
Today, my classmates refuse to believe I have a girlfriend, all because I said she goes to a different school. She actually does, but apparently too many fakers have used that as an excuse for it to have any credibility. FML
Today, I was walking around with a friend, who I assumed was beside me, but it turned out she'd left my side minutes ago and hadn’t heard my rambling that some random person had. FML
Today, I was walking around my new school trying to figure out where to go. Then I realized I was talking to myself. Out loud. FML
Today, I was walking around school alone and felt someone tap my back. I laughed and turned around to find no one was there. I felt confused when I felt the tapping again, which is when I chose to yell at the nearest person, "What?!" I later found out it was a bottle in my backpack tapping me. FML
Today, I went to pick up my little brother from his friend's house. When I got there, he ran off screaming that he didn't know me. His friend's parents believed him. FML
Today, a classmate at college accused me of stalking her. All because I walked past her house. I was walking to the supermarket. FML
Today, I moved into my university dorm a week before classes start. Everyone kept giving me weird looks as they watched me move my stuff in. Finally, one of my dorm mates asked me if I knew that school had actually started last week. I didn't. 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
Today, I was shopping with my girlfriend at the mall at Victoria's Secret. We got separated, after which I saw 3 of my students. I teach middle school. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Lol maybe you should just play along and see how far you can get those people to go out of their way to help you "find your group "

It sucks now but some woman would love to look younger. Maybe you'll appreciate it later in life :)

I asked a 40 year old woman for ID at the bottle shop I work at, she looked 16, she said that I made her day and she has always asked to be served by me ever since haha :)

I'm a Senior in a highschool of almost 2000 students. I've been stopped multiple times by the campus police because I apparently "look twelve or thirteen" so they assume that I'm a sixth grader who's skipping class. It hurts sometimes because when I DO try to look my age(18), I can barely pass as fifteen.. I learned to just have fun with it xD you should too! It's okay, OP, when we're sixty, we'll look twenty three(:

I'm the exact opposite. I am 21 and people always mistake me for someone much older. Many tell me they thought i was in my late 30's or early 40's. of course,i'm a guy but still.

When I was 16 people thought I'm 20 something, and now they think that I'm younger than my real age. I think it's annoying now, but will be advantage someday, hell, maybe I have some benjamin button syndrome.

My college has tours just about everyday. They have huge ones nearly every weekend. I've crossed tours like probably at least 7 or 8 times this semester

Good idea!! I get asked that a lot too! Even by professors cause I have one class on this and other on the other side like 20 min fast walk and when I walk in 5 mins late the professor was like are you sure you are a student here!!!

Just stop asking people 'you take picture? Yes?' and your problems should be solved.

This is incredibly racist.

It wasn't supposed to be racist at all :/

Should see my aunty. She went here for a holiday with my grandpa. She speaks no English and went to the super market. She wanted eggs and asked someone where they were. They didn't understand and then she started to cluck like a chicken XD

FML is most PC place on the internet. I just got one of my comments deleted because I warned OP about rapists on college campuses. It was gone in 5 minutes. Don't even bother replying to those "that's racist" and "how is this relevant" comments.

How is this racist? Last time I checked they didn't mention a specific race. Sounds like you read this FML with a (insert the race YOU thought of here) accent, paused and thought oh shit Im bad person so lets point the finger.

If it's because you look young then that's not such a bad thing you'll love it when you're older. If it's because you always look lost..idk what to tell you OP.

Just be happy you still look young! In 30 years you'll be wishing you still did!
Credibleskills 28
Hey, you might have found a way to look super young and feel good about yourself!

Sounds to me like you walk around the campus with a lost look on your face. Stop looking clueless and you won't be asked that question.

You poor thing... must be tough to be so youthful.
bluefrootloops 13
Are you hot? Just guys hitting on you. Be glad you haven't met a rapist yet.

That escalated quickly.

You should cut your hair short, buy a striped sweater, beanie, round glasses and tell the people your name is Waldo.
