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.

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

Hey, it only took two trips for the woman at this one Chinese restaurant to recognize me. Really doesn't take much, sometimes. One Gamestop, I had an employee take one look at me and immediately head over to pull out my preorder, apologizing the entire time, before I showed my ID or anything...they remembered 'cause I was the only girl who preordered SC3. ... That being said and done, a random dude gushing about how he watched you grow up is kinda creepy.

I completely agree with kmangwing. I worked at a Gamestop for 3 years while working at another job, simply because I enjoyed it. Also, the salesperson in this case could have been a manager, and managing a Gamestop pays fairly well as far as I've been told, so it really isn't "sad" if the person has been working there for a long time.

I think it's more sad that the dude is still working there after all that time. F his life.

Lol the irony of #5. Someone with 19308 visits to fmylife.com telling someone to go get some sun. Heh.

This is definitely more sad for the guy that has been working there since you were a kid... unless he owns it... doubtful though.

Those visits are of everyone that visit a page that you have a comment on right? I just started commenting yesterday and it says I have almost 4000 visits, that can't be to my profile alone, it just has to be the number of people that have pulled up the page I've commented on. 19308 = nada.
