Today, a friend and I went to Gamestop to pick up a game he wanted. I ended up buying a 17+ game, and I was prepared to show my license, but he stopped me an said, "I know you're 18". He then said, "Man, I've pretty much watched you grow up in this store." A game salesman watched me grow up. FML
JRech tells us more.
OP here. It's a FML to me because, I'm not ashamed of being a gamer, I feel that it's just a pretty dorky situation. I totally was caught off guard when the site gave this entry the green light. I just thought it would be funny to share. A bit of background though, #155 is completely right, it's only been like 4 years.

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

That's more of FHL. He's been working at a game store for all those years. Atleast you had an excuse, you liked playing video games. Not all kids are into going out and playing sports etc.

if you work at a Gamestop for long enough to watch someone grow up, that's messed up. But maybe OP now considers him/herself a loser for being in a Gamestop that much.

Is it a FML if I'm the kind of person to actually find this story touching?

I worked at a gamestop for two years, even when I had a job with a different company. I liked working there because I knew the customers, and had a lot of fun with my coworkers. It isn't sad to work for gamestop for a long time if you have other options and do it because you enjoy it.

IDK what's wrong with that, it's a hobby you enjoy and a store you're a regular in. Seems nice to me.

How is this a FML? When I worked at Best Buy, I never ID'd anyone, I didn't give a rip. I was never told to either, so I didn't worry about it.
