Today, at work while near a cigarette tray outside, a man said, "Thanks for polluting our environment!" All I could say was, "What?" He then said, "I'm speaking English you know!" I was cleaning the cigarette tray at the time, don't smoke at all, and was born here. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, at work, I had to tell someone to put out a cigarette. He yelled at me saying it’s a free country. I work at a gas station. FML
Today, I was walking past a homeless guy while smoking; he asked if he could have a cigarette. So I gave him one and said without thinking, "Sorry, it’s a menthol, but beggars can't be choosers." FML
Today, I walked past a few of my coworkers sitting outside smoking. As I got a whiff of the smoke, I coughed. They immediately started to defend their habit, and I was told to "mind my own fucking business." I wasn't trying to be rude; I'm actually allergic to cigarette smoke. FML
Today, I was having a cigarette in a smoking area when a mother with a pram strode towards me and exaggerated a cough to make some sort of point. Reluctantly, I put it out and walked off. I then turned around to see her lighting up a cigarette, and blowing smoke all over her baby. FML
Today, I was yelled at for smoking at a bus stop, because a woman didn't appreciate me smoking by her children. She did this while waving her own lit cigarette in my face. FML
Today, I was sitting at a lunch table with some of my coworkers when one of them decided to put out his cigarette on the table and missed. I now have a nice burn mark on my hand. Did he say sorry? No. "Your hand shouldn't have been there." FML
Today, a man in a hurry asked me for a light. Not being able to find my lighter amongst the muddle inside my handbag, I handed him my lit cigarette so he could light his. He took it from me, started smoking it and walked off. FML
Today, I was at the airport trying to help a man get to the right terminal. When he finished he turned to tell me "Don't worry, your English is pretty good, considering you're not American". English is my only language. FML
Today, while waiting for a bus, someone started smoking at the bus shelter, which is illegal in my city. I politely asked him to stop smoking, citing the city ordinance. He just cackled and said that if I'm so concerned about the state of my health, I should start by losing 90 pounds. FML
Today, I was caught on a hot mic during a work department meeting complaining about someone using a leaf blower, F-bombs and all. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Don't vote it down you idiots, #29 was a joke. I guess some people are too stupid to recognise jokes when they see them. :3 I swear to god if someone calls me a hypocrite I'll tear they're f###ing eyes out.

It's been moderated hasn't it?

I'd say so. OP's been wrongly accused of something along with strong racial undertones to the accusation. It probably made them uncomfortable at the very least. Hope it didn't ruin your day OP.

Who cares what he thinks? Let him think, while you know ;)

cause you know... sterotypes
not_a_robot 15
We don't know the ethnicity, religion, or sexual orientation of the man. How, in ANY LOGICAL WAY, is this a stereotype?

32 - Stereotyping people on welfare. Seems obvious to me.

Should have thanked him for being a ********. Who cares if you do or don't smoke? its none of his concern.

Hi, I care, because I feel sick to cigarette smoke.
Voij 16
And I feel sick of people who get aggressive towards everyone who smokes and make a scene whenever they find a smoker. Luckily for me, I am smart enough to simply avoid these people and thus don't have to complain about their behaviour afterwards. (Unless I am forced to do so in order to get this specific point I am making right now across to someone via the comment section of a site on the Internet.)

Smoke all you want and kill yourself. However when you smoke outside the door, or on a balcony and it goes into my window, and you throw your used butts on the ground that is affecting me. I don't get aggressive but I don't blame anyone that does to these types of people!

smoking actually helps the environment by killing all the polluters!

"You're Welcome" is the best way to deal with such jump-to-conclusion types.

You should just say "You're welcome!" With a big smile on your face.

People should just stop making judgmental, nosy comments and mind their own business.
