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.

I would feel uncomfortable if I were hanging at the mall with my friends and an older man (pretty much 28 years and up) came over and tried to chat with us. I wouldn't be as blunt as they were, but I would probably end the conversation pretty quickly and head on my way.

You know you're old when you start realizing teenaged boys are ridiculous.

Even as a teen, if an older adult stuck up a conversation I would talk to them and not think once if there were a pedophile (or the term used for minors past puberty). Of course if they were talking about something inappropriate I would leave. It's so sad that parents are passing their fears onto their children. Soon there will be laws that no adults can talk to kids under 18. This is so ridiculous. Just because an adult talks to a child doesn't mean they sick and looking for victims. Of course young child shouldn't be talking to strangers, but teenagers? By then they should know if the conversation is becoming uncomfortable then they need to tell a trusted adult. I see a lot of comments from teens here that say they would be uncomfortable with an adult talking to them. What has the media and parents done to these kids?! They're scared of the world now. They think that every adult is a pedo preying on them. Idiotic society we live in.

I agree, **** all this modern "every adult is a predator" nonsense.

Well what do you expect, these kids were brought up in the world of 'stranger danger' all they ever hear about is old men being perverts. Blame the parents, oh and if you had gone up to kids in the 70's asking about Elvis and the Beatles I bet they would have been rude too

This is precisely the reason why us adults despise the modern youth. I have come to always assume that if they are under 17, they are probably *****.
