Today, I was complimented on my freckles. I don't actually have freckles, just a load of blackheads that won't go away. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I realized that the cute freckle I noticed a few weeks ago is actually a giant blackhead. FML
Today, I was romantically cuddling with my boyfriend. He looked deep into my eyes, stared lovingly at me, and said, "I never noticed, but you have the most adorable freckles on your face..." Blushing, I tilted my head to the side. He then said, "Oh, never mind, those are just your blackheads." FML
Today, I spent twenty minutes looking in the mirror trying to remove a blackhead from my chin. It was a freckle. FML
Today, I found myself admiring my eyelids for being the only parts of my face not covered in acne. FML
Today, I was complimented for having amazingly lifelike warts as part of my witch costume, and was asked how I achieved the effect so well. I didn't have the heart to admit they were just my pimples under green makeup. FML
Today, a friend of mine had a Wii party and made everyone into Miis. My Mii had freckles. I don't have freckles. When I commented on it, she said, "Well, there isn't a zit feature." FML
Today, my friends told me, "Don't worry about your bad acne. It kind of looks like the pattern the avatars have on their heads." FML
Today, I was with my boyfriend and I said that I was self-conscious of my acne. He told me that only one of my zits was noticeable and that it wasn't so bad. In fact he said it looked cool, like a bullet wound or something "awesome" like that. FML
Today, at work as an optician, I gave a little girl a new pair of glasses and asked her if she could see better with them. She replied, "Oh, yeah, you've got two big zits on your nose!" FML
Today, I noticed that my acne has gotten so bad, I can see it out of my peripheral vision. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

One man's blackhead is another man's freckle.

I had to reread this about 5 times because of the lack of punctuation.

All i see in this "sentence" is a language, crime scene, and a knife. Not a language crime scene and a knife.

mom's are typically good at taking those out.

is it just me or are girlfriends unusually eager to pop zits, pimples, etc...

Maybe leave it to a dermatologist, I'm sure our mothers and girlfriends have other things they'd much rather be doing

or grandmas. mine always used to walk up without a word to pop them.

Well not everyone has a mom...mine died so maybe you shouldn't just assume everyone has one...

OP could just get those strips made to remove blackheads. put it on your nose for 15 minutes and it pulls them right out. it's nasty but works wonders.

#32, I'm sorry for your loss but that's seriously unnecessary. I'm sure you have a family member that others don't have. Please don't make everything awkward for everyone else here.

Ew...no! I do not pop someone else's pus pockets. And my mom won't either. That's just nasty, and you can get infections that way, rarely but it can happen. So not every mum/gf will do it. But kudos to those brave souls.

#32, youre wrong. everyone does have a mother. you cant be born without an egg and a sperm. so yes, everyone does have a mother, some just happen to be deceased.

Take the compliment, they don't have to know.
SuperWhoMarvLock 22

You got complimented on a physical imperfection I guess you should be happy with that.

Well hey, at least you were complimented instead of made fun of or something else. Better then nothing, right?
