Today, I was verbally abused by a customer at my job. Apparently, wearing "ugly, thick-framed hipster glasses as a fashion statement is a HUGE faux pas." These are my actual prescription glasses, and "faux pas" is not pronounced "fox paws". FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, while I was waiting for a bus, a nutjob-looking dude walked up to me, then hissed, "You hipster scum, you don't even need those glasses," before forcibly removing them and snapping them in half. I was wearing regular clothes, and those prescription glasses cost me $500. FML
Today, my wife and I went shopping for new glasses at a local store, but we didn't really get to actually buying one. On our way back, she warned me that my glasses of choice should in no way be 'those big arty ones'. When I asked her why not, she told me that I 'look gay enough already'. FML
Today, I thought the cashier said the new blouse I picked out was ugly as she was ringing me up. I'm really self-conscious about my fashion sense, so I snapped and started yelling at her. It wasn't until she was close to tears did I find out she said "lovely" not "ugly". So, that's another store I can't go back to. FML
Today, I inadvertently gave passers by the middle finger as I tried to stop my glasses from sliding off my face. FML
Today, a customer made a huge scene at work because all of our reading glasses are made in China, and apparently any "moral" person should be repulsed by that. FML
Today, at work, somebody stole my sunglasses. Fed up with the constant theft in my office, I stormed up to my boss, as he had long ago promised to catch the thief. He listened patiently to my rant before pointing out that my sunglasses were on my head. FML
Today, while out shopping, a middle aged man snatched my sunglasses off my face, threw them off the ground, and stomped on them, saying, "That’s what you get for trying to look cool, asshole!" I suffer from light-induced migraines. FML
Today, I was written up. Too many customers complained that I don't wear makeup or do my hair. I got written up for being ugly. FML
Today, I got yelled at for providing horrible customer service, in a store I don't even work for. FML
Today, my boss "borrowed" my prescription sunglasses off my desk. She crashed her car because they made her dizzy, and thinks I should pay for the damages. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Reading "fox paws", I imagined a blonde bimbo, valley girl, that thinks she's smart! Lol

that guy is an idiot, but just because you have them as prescription, doesn't mean they aren't a fashion statement. xD>

pronounced fo- pa?

Excuse my stupidity, but how is it actually pronounced?

Faux-pas is French, so you pronounce it like "fo-pah."

Faux-pas: Fough as in dough (as in donut), paw as in Dad (as in what up pa?) I've got an aunt that says weefee for Wi-Fi, glucides (glue-sids) for carbohydrates (glucide is French for carbohydrate), breaf-iss (deaf-is) for breakfast, and refuses to change no matter who corrects her. She is in her 50s, and speaks English. So, though I am surprised you don't know how to say faux-pas, I'm glad you at least asked how to pronounce it. Naïve: Nye as in bye, eve as in, well, eve. Nye-eve.

Only a hipster would know how to pronounce faux pas.

For people who don't understand french, pronounced fo pah, spells faux pas, means wrong move. And for idiots who think you have to be a hipster to understand french, some english speaking people live in france, and can manage speaking and understanding it very well without being hipsters

Sounds like something a customer would say to me. Mine are prescription as well.

Am I the only one who thought of London Tipton here?

Yeah, I just chose to wear glasses all my life too OP. I totally wanted terrible eyesight. I had to have it you see, to make truly stunning fashion choices in the world of eye wear. (Sarcasssm)
