Today, while taking the bus home, a girl stared at me for a while before asking me if I'd ever heard of makeup. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was taking the subway to school. I was applying some makeup when I noticed a little boy watching me. When I was finished I heard him whisper to his mom, "I thought make up was supposed to make you pretty." FML
Today, I was sitting in the bus station when an old woman looked over at me, then said to her friend, "Young women are so pretty these days." Her friend looked up at me and said, "That's because makeup is so cheap these days." FML
Today, on the bus, I caught the eye of this ugly, sweaty girl giving me a death stare through the driver's mirror. I gave her a death stare back. Only then I realized I was staring at myself. FML
Today, as I walked on to the bus, the girl I liked whispered something to her friend. Curious, I asked what was so funny. She said she never realized that when I got on, I shook the bus. FML
Today, I went to school without makeup. No one recognized me. 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
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 saw a beautiful girl on the bus. Struck up a good conversation, walked with her all the way to my office. Forgot to ask her name and number. This is the second time I've done this. FML
Today, I was standing on the packed bus home when I had a speck of dust in my lenses. As I couldn't rub it out, I tried blinking it out for the next five minutes. Then the hot girl opposite me screamed, "Stop winking at me, don't even think about it you ugly fuck!" FML
Today, I was riding a bus. After having a conversation with my friend, I looked down and saw a little boy looking at me. He asked, "Are you a boy or a girl?" As if that wasn't bad enough, when I responded that I was a girl, he said, "Oh. So, why do you have a boy voice then?" FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

You should have asked her if she's heard of not needing make up to feel beautiful.

Don't take it to heart, OP. People are assholes and if you were to pay them any mind they'd win. I'm sure you're beautiful inside and out

Ask her if she's ever heard of keeping her thoughts to herself.

What a ****. Don't take it to heart, she must have a shitty life and very insecure.

Should've asked if she's ever heard of an attitude adjustment, and then suggest she get one.

I've found that these are the best people to respond to because they always get the maddest. Say something like "you ever heard of manners?" And I can almost garuntee she would be fuming for a week.

Thing is, she wouldn't, even if OP used a comeback that was actually witty. People like that are incapable of feeling shame or recognizing when they've been "defeated".

Don't let it get to you. I had a girl tell me I'd be pretty if I just wore makeup every day. They're the ones who need help.

Am I one of the only females that don't wear make-up? I always found it annoying and could never get it to work, so I just kinda gave up...

You're not the only one. I'm a female and I don't bother with makeup. Looking for nice clothes that look good on me is enough of a hassle.

I'm female and don't wear make up. It feels like mud to me and I see no reason to put it on just to take it off at the end of the day. A waste of money to me, but if you wear it, more power to ya. Just don't try to give me a make over and we're cool.

You're not alone, don't worry!

I don't touch it, it either doesn't make a difference when I put it on or I end up not looking like me and taking it off. A friend put a tiny bit on me one time and I felt like a drag queen :(

I wear it sometimes, but not regularly. Only when I'm going to an event or feel the urge to. And even then half the time I don't do it. I feel people should wear what they like or not wear what they don't like, it's sad many others can't feel the same way.

should've asked her if she has ever heard of manners. Since she seems to lack at that.

"Ever heard of minding your own ******* business so you don't get your teeth knocked out?"

Hmm, which quip to use? "Yes, I've also heard of tact." Or "Makeup doesn't do anything if your personality is ugly." Or maybe "No, I have never heard the term in my life, please tell me what is this 'May-Cup' and what purpose it serves." Or you could just say. "I see you have." Leaving it up in the air if it's a slam or a compliment.

Damn, you'd be a great person to rap-battle with! :D
