Today, at a family reunion, my grandpa loudly said that I look like "a cheap Vegas whore" because of my heavy purple eye-shadow. I could tell that a few other people agreed. I was too embarrassed to explain that the "eye-shadow" was just dark circles from fatigue. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my grandpa pointed me out to one of his friends, saying, "Yeah, she's the ugly one." FML
Today, my six-year-old son told me my makeup looks like his grandmother's did in the casket. FML
Today, my grandfather told me that I was ugly. When my mom found out, she said that, "Old people are allowed to tell the truth." FML
Today, poorly applied makeup made it look like I have a black eye in most of my wedding photos. I would have laughed it off, but I was showing them to my brother who was deployed during the actual wedding. He saw the black eye, assumed it was domestic abuse, and attacked my husband. FML
Today, I told a coworker, “You look way better without makeup.” She responded, “I’m wearing makeup.” Everyone around us gasped like I had just said "fuck" in church. FML
Today, we had a group of friends over, as well as my grandma. She started talking about me when I was a kid, when I suddenly heard her saying, "Well, yeah, she wasn’t a beautiful child, not at all, she looked.… OK." FML
Today, I met some guys from my dad's workplace. They told him what a pretty daughter he had, to which he responded, "Nah, it's just shit-loads of makeup." FML
Today, all of my friends and teachers asked me what was wrong because I looked sad and tired. One kid even said that I looked like "an abused housewife the day after." I was fine. It was the first time I went to school without wearing any makeup. FML
Today, I was at a restaurant with my grandma. A young, ripped gentleman suddenly walked through the door and my grandma looked at him and shouted, "Look! Eye candy!" as loud as she could. He heard it and was extremely embarrassed. To make it worse, my grandma is a widow, so she might have actually meant it. FML
Today, as I walked around town I noticed some guys and even a couple of girls checked me out. When I got home later I realized they probably weren't checking me out, so much as wondering why the hell I had thick black eyeliner on only one eye. Oops. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Should have said "Oh I'm sorry, does it remind you of that story I wasn't suppose to tell grandma about?"

You should've said "Ofcourse you'd know all about them" when he said that

You should ask your grandpa how he knows what a cheap Vegas wore looks like with a straight face and in a loud voice.

Is that really less embarrassing than just telling them you were sleep deprived?

Stop attending their functions or spending any time with them -- they don't deserve you! FYL.

You must be the kind of person who was call a bitch at a family event and never came back. Grow a pair that's what's family is for to make you stronger.

No, family is for love and support. If they can't supply that then the person is fully within right to not be around them. Worry about your happiness, if people around you are toxic try to distance or cut them out of your life. Family or not.

There's a youtube vid that shows you how to use bright red lipstick on them under concealer and foundation and it makes them go away completely. it's a super cool trick

Clearly the dark circles are from your late nights whoring.

FYL for having such a disrespectful grand father. Even if you did look like a ***** he should not say it to you in front of an audience. Good luck and don't become like him when growing up OP...

Why be embarrassed? Ive had them since i was born. Genetics, allergies, even general tiredness can cause them.
