Today, my friend asked me to send her a picture of my crush. I've never talked to him so I had to take the picture without him knowing. My flash was on. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was out on a date with a guy. His hot co-worker came to have a beer with us, and I knew my best friend would think he was gorgeous. I wanted to take a picture of him without knowing, so I tried to hold up my phone and pretend to be texting. The flash went off. FML
Today, I asked my crush out, after a year of liking her. What did she do? She laughed, took a screenshot of it, and sent it to her friend. FML
Today, I saw a group of attractive guys at the mall. One of them looked exactly like a friend, so I decided to take a picture. Trying to be discreet, I put my phone up to my ear as if I was making a phone call, and pressed the capture button. The flash went off. FML
Today, I spent an hour meticulously crafting the perfect text to ask my crush out. Just as I hit send, I realized I'd accidentally sent a screenshot of the conversation to my crush instead. Now they know my level of commitment: zero. FML
Today, I was trying to take a sneaky picture of a cute guy sitting across from me on a train. My phone’s flash went off. I panicked, dropped my phone, and then had to awkwardly stand up to retrieve it while he just smirked at me, clearly aware of what had just happened. FML
Today, I tried to secretly take a photo of a cute guy on the train. I forgot my flash was on. He looked straight at me, smirked, and said, “If you wanted my picture, you could’ve just asked.” I got off three stops early. FML
Today, I took a picture of myself and put it on Facebook. After I did so, I realized that in the background, you can see my crush's Facebook page up on my laptop. He tagged himself. FML

Today, I sent my long-distance girlfriend the first photo of me I'd sent her in a while. It was a photo of me with some of my friends. She didn't know which one I was. FML
Today, I was at my ex-girlfriend's house, who I still have a major crush on. After cuddling as we watched a movie, she began to show me several pictures she had taken on her phone, and asked which ones I liked the best. She then sent the pictures I had chosen, to a guy she had met a week ago. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Right, do you realize how ****** up that is? You wouldn't even think about doing that to a girl, so why the **** did you think it would be okay to do it to him? How would you feel if someone took photos of you without you knowing? You'd probably feel very intruded on, so why wouldn't he feel the same way? I hope you got in trouble, because that's ****** up. People like you are why I have an aversion to getting my picture taken, and encourage sneak photography.

Ghost Fox. I read you're profile and I can see where you are coming from. But in the U.S. it is not illegal to take a picture of someone in a public place no matter what you feel. FML did not specify if they were public or private area.

It's not illegal in lots of countries. It's kind of a grey area when you press charges against someone for doing it because it's not the act of photography that's illegal, it's what the picture is of (or used for).

No one said it was illegal. It's still creepy as hell.

You should know better than to go around flashing people you don't know very well!

It's called stalking them on Facebook for a picture. Saves you in the long run cuz there's no chance they'll find out.

Why do people still think it's acceptable to take pictures of people like that? It's creepy.

"Hey dude, can I take a ohoto of you?" "Uhh... Sure, why not..."

Yeah... don't take sneak pictures of people. It's creepy.

While the picture taking is really creepy, I'm more hung up on the fact that you have a crush on someone you've never spoken to. Are you really that shallow that you can be into someone by their looks alone?
