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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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?

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

Should have replied with, "Have you heard of minding your own business?" Or "Did you know, you're a bitch?" OP, have fun with the situation. Dis her back! Screw being the better person! Be a badass! I'm sure you're pretty and you could also be a badass.

You should have pretended like you didn't see her and been like"oh sorry did you say something?I couldn't see you under all that makeup"

Shame that there's no makeup for personality.

I'm glad you don't need makeup to feel beautiful, OP! It sucks that the media has shoved cosmetics down our throats to a point where women don't feel pretty without it. People should not project their insecurities onto others like that.

My dad told me I needed to wear makeup. Thanks, Dad. I wear it now but by my own choice. Some days I'm way too damn lazy to bother, but other days putting on pants and makeup helps me be more productive. To each their own though.

I'd have asked her if she'd ever heard of "stfu and mind your own business". She certainly could use a nice big cup of stfu to match her awful personality, that's for sure. I'm not too shabby at applying makeup, but I'm just too lazy to spend time putting it on, keeping it on, and taking it off. Plus, that shit can get expensive and even the hypoallergenic stuff messes with my skin. Not worth it. So, unless I have an important event to attend or have to be formal, my face is naked, still pretty, and healthier.

At least you're not one of those girls who make themselves look like a Nicki Minaj Cake when they're just naturally beautiful

"Yes, I've heard of make-up. Have you ever heard of minding your own damn business?"

You should have asked her if she's ever heard of minding her own ******* business. Superficial beauty is the least worthy trait to value a person for- chin up OP :)
