Today, I was waiting for my wife in a mall when some kids came and sat near me, wearing band t-shirts. I recognized some, as I was into The Smiths and Black Flag in my youth. I tried to strike up a music-fan chat with them. "Fuck off, grandad" and "Ew, pedo" is all I got in return. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, while out shopping, I could hear what sounded like two grown men talking about me, and they were being pretty gross. I turned around to scold them and it turned out being a dad and his 13-year-old son. He said he was, "teaching a son to be a man", and that my ass was "grounds for discussion." FML
Today, I went to a park and sat down next to this older lady. Some kids started fighting and screaming at each other, so I leaned next to her and said, "Man, am I glad those aren't MY kids." She turned to me and said, "Yeah, they're mine." FML
Today. I realized my dad is a little bit too rock n roll when he got into a pushing and shoving match with a married couple, who was making comments about how my dad’s leather jacket and ripped jeans weren’t “appropriate.” To be fair, they started it, but this was a parent night at a high school. FML
Today, I was at the mall with my girlfriend's family. Her 7 year old brother told me he was feeling sad, so I tried to give him a pat on the back, but it turns out he had a bruise there. He yelled out "don't touch me there!" In the middle of the mall. Now her parents think I'm a pedophile. FML
Today, I got yelled at and called a pedo by a mother after I sat down in a swing next to her daughter. I was too embarrassed to tell her that I'm a 20 year old who really does enjoy swinging in my spare time. FML
Today, I went to the mall with my mom. We were in American Eagle shopping for spring clothes, when a few good looking guys walked by and whistled at me. I smiled at them. They were checking out my mom, not me. FML
Today, I walked past a group of men at the mall and one of them mooed at me. FML
Today, I saw a girl wearing a Nirvana shirt. Since Nirvana has been my favorite band for a long time, I tried striking up a conversation with her. Turns out she doesn't even listen to them, and only bought the shirt because she "liked the smiley face." FML
Today, I got bitched out by some lady in a Walmart because I looked at her funny while she was on the phone, loudly bragging about "slapping the shit out of" her kids. FML
Today, I went to see my favorite band in concert. When the show was over I got the chance to meet them. When I met the guitarist and told him my name, he recognized me. To my disappointment it was as the facebook creeper. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I seriously doubt they knew the bands anyway. Like all the stoners with the Bob Marley shirts.

This begins the new world order. Wait and see how screwed ip this country gets when our kids or grand kids take over and run the country.

FYL in the first place for having to wait on your wife. Being female, I understand we tend to take our sweet time and wanna look at every shoe.

Would you want some random guy reading your kids shirt and trying to spark conversations with them? It's one of the things they teach kids to watch out for.

Older folks can usually hold a conversation better than kids these days. Just saying I prefer hanging out with my parents friends over my peer group.

I remember being on a high school excursion and talking to a drunken ex-sailor with an infected leg on the street in Amsterdam. I don't remember what he said, but he was a funny guy.

This is why choke slamming idiot kids by total strangers should be legal. Their parents aren't doing the job and it takes a village to raise a kid right? Hell I wish cops could just taze the stupidity out of the punks they always deal with where I live.

Don't worry, those kids were just acting tough because they were in a group. Try to get a one-to-one chat next time. And don't forget that kids are hungry for advice from cool adults who aren't their parents, but they're afraid to ask. So do them a favor and ask if they want to know anything about sex.
