Today, I have a facial scar from an accident, it's large but not disfiguring. A guy on the bus asked if I could turn away because it was scaring his kid (the kid wasn’t even paying attention) so I told him to screw off, but people started agreeing with him. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, a total stranger on the bus called me hideous and threw a soda in my face. I only asked him if the seat next to him was taken. FML
Today, and for the last year, I have a disfiguring scar on my nose that I’m very self conscious about. My 4 year-old niece recently noticed it. Now every time she sees me she leans in real close and says, “What’s wrong with your face?” FML
Today, some guy at the bus stop screamed at me because the bus was coming and I wasn’t wearing my mask. I was standing 25 feet from the stop finishing a smoke and there was no one around me. When I sat down on the bus, with my mask on, he stared me down the whole ride. FML
Today, I was sitting on the bus and as I'm quite short my legs were dangling. Some guy, who wasn't looking where he was going, tripped over my foot and went flying. He and everyone else on the bus glared at me like it was deliberate. The man next to me even changed seats in disgust. FML
Today, while on a crowded public bus, a cute girl asked if she could sit next to me. Problem is, I didn't hear correctly and thought she asked if anyone was sitting next to me. I answered no, causing her to walk off angrily and earning me several disgusted stares from other passengers. FML
Today, a man with one eye and a severely disfigured face accosted me at the grocery store. What started as a question about my shirt became an explanation for why he looks the way he does: He took a shotgun blast to the face. I didn't ask about or even draw attention to his appearance. Sweet dreams for me tonight! FML
Today, I was riding on my usual bus, when I noticed a man staring at me. I was having a really bad day, and said "Can you please stop staring at me?" He then replied with "I'm just trying to look out the window, and your head is in the way. Don't flatter yourself." FML
Today, I was saying goodbye to my boyfriend before I got on my bus. As I turned to get on, the door closed on my face. I knocked on the door. The driver looked at me, and while still staring at me, drove off. FML
Today, I was on the bus, heading to work, when the girl beside me started yelling at me, claiming I was staring down her shirt. I did no such thing, but the driver nonetheless stopped the bus and made me get off, all under the withering glares of the other passengers. FML
Today, I was beaten up by a complete stranger for “giving her a dirty look.” I can’t see my own face. FML

Dude, that’s your FACE. You can’t just go “oops, my bad” and take it off. If this dude was a good parent he could have chosen this opportunity to, you know, parent his kid. “Sometimes things and people can look scary when there isn’t anything wrong with them. This man is just trying to get somewhere, just like we are.” God forbid that kid ever gets similar scarring with the way his surroundings encourage him to think of it.

Ask them if they have scar tissue in their neck that’s locked up or can they just not afford a chiropractor to fix their neck since it obviously can’t rotate the same way yours can to “turn away.”

It may be hard, but try not to pay attention to the dicks in the world. I'm with Anderling, it's your face. If other people don't like it then they can go **** themselves. Don't let this get you down, OP. I find scars interesting and they tell a story. Not always pleasant, I'll admit, but interesting.

You should have said, "Say hallo to my leetle frien'!" And whipped out your machine gun and sprayed lead everywhere.
