Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, and every day I go out in public, I apparently have a sign on my back saying, “If you’re a creepy old man, please harass and stare at me.” The best part? No one my own age has ever spared me even a second look. FML
Today, I realised how damn creepy I am because I get nervous and smile when someone looks at me, and no it's not one of those smiles you'd love looking at, it's a smile straight out of a horror movie. I made a bunch of children run away. FML
Today, while in Walmart, I noticed an old man who had been following me for about five minutes. I politely pulled over with my cart and smiled at him so he could pass. He then said with a creepy smile, "So, it's your turn to stare at my butt now?" It's the most attention I've gotten in weeks. FML
Today, out of habit, I said "See you later" to a creepy old male customer who stared at my chest the whole time I was serving him. His response was to wink and say, "Oh, you will." FML
Today, a creep called me out in the street and asked me why I was in that part of that street, because he "knows " I live in another part of the street, and he found it "odd" that I was there. He was smiling all that time too. 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 was told to go fuck myself twice because I asked people to wear masks. Only a month and a half of this left. FML
Today, I found out that I'm the creepy uncle of the family. FML
Today, an old guy got nose to nose with me, threatened me, and spit in my face, just because I politely reminded him he needed to be wearing a mask. He had been coughing on multiple food items in my store. FML
Today, while out walking with my son in a stroller, a couple passed by and the girl smiled sweetly at him. It made me really happy, until we'd passed and I heard her say, "What? You're supposed to smile at babies, even if they look weird." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Maybe get a custom mask with the words "this isn't resting bitch face, I just don't like you" printed on it

bit of an extreme reaction to someone whose being an ass. just walk away or tell them to kick dirt. do the above if you feel unsafe, no need to assault someone for being rude.

A couple of tips: 1. Scream "POLICE!!!" 2. Kick them in the balls (run if you choose to) 3. Carry mace & a whistle and threaten to use/use it

Perhaps it is an overreaction. But it's hard to tolerate creepiness in a sexual manner. I have 0 tolerance for creepy unwanted sexual advances so I'm willing to do anything to stop it. That includes physical means.

A couple novelty masks with different smiles will do wonders in that situation. Mines have wolf, Halloween pumpkin, different kinds of sharp toothed monsters, walrus, and zipper.
