Today, a kid with severe Down's came into my workplace, as he does every day. He's has an obsession with me, sitting at a table, staring and taking photos of me all day. His parents have no problem with this, because they think it's a miracle that he can focus so much attention on me for so long. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I worked up the courage to tell my supervisor that it makes me feel uncomfortable when my coworker teases me by saying a special needs client is in love with me at the residential facility I work at. Her response was, “Well, he is obsessed with you. He writes your name down hundreds of times and watches you out his window." FML
Today, my coworker and I were sitting and eating lunch. We noticed a little kid kept staring at us, and every time we looked away he would come a little bit closer. When he was right behind us, I looked and was startled enough to jump. The parents were three tables down, laughing uncontrollably. FML
Today, and every day, a homeless looking man walks into my work, sits down and stares. I'm new to the job so, trying to make new friends, when the guy walked in this time, I went over to a co worker I was really clicking with, and went off about how creepy he was. He replied with "Who, my dad?" FML
Today, just like every other day, I noticed that one of my male coworkers always stares at me while passing by or when it's time for lunch. I read somewhere that if a person stares at you too long, they either want to have sex with you or want to kill you. He has a girlfriend, so I doubt it's the first option. FML
Today, my son told me he liked a girl, so I asked if they were friends. He said no, he's never spoken to her, but he watches her in class and follows her around. When I told him that was fucking creepy, my wife yelled at me. My kid is a stalker and my wife thinks it's cute. God help me. FML
Today, I was eating at a restaurant in town, when a small boy started looking at me. I simply smiled and went back to eating, only to hear out of the corner of my ear, "Daddy, why does that kid's face look like that"? He said it so loud, the three tables next to us turned and looked. FML
Today, while at a psychiatric hospital working as a student nurse, I discovered one of the patients had developed an unhealthy obsession for me. He was admitted for stalking and abusing a girl who looked just like me. It's only my first week. FML
Today, same as recently, there's some guy constantly standing in front of my building waiting for me to come out, just to stare at me and then get mad when I walk to my car, to the store, to the bank, and even followed me into the lobby to see what floor I get off at, like a weirdo. What should I do? FML
Today, there's a guy in my class who I'm very attracted to. I'm hyperconscious of him for that, and I worry about the impression I give. By now though, there have been at least two different eye contact occasions that made it look like I was staring at him when I was NOT, and now I must look like a creepy stalker. FML
Today, I went to my Calculus lecture, one of a class of 200 people. As I looked down I noticed that a guy a few rows in front of me was on Facebook. When I took a closer look, I noticed he was viewing my profile. He stalked the profile for a full 45 minutes. I have never met this guy in my life. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Not necessarily a fml situation. At least you are inspiring someone and bringing joy to a whole family unit ;D

Oh my, I'd have asked my manager to do something about it a long time ago, or else found myself a new job. The parents should raise this child like any other, so not correcting him because he has down syndrome is just bad parenting. Yes, having a child with Down Syndrome is hard, but that doesn't mean that the rest of the world has to bend around it. If any other customer would have done this, someone would have called the police a long time ago. But isn't letting him because he has this handicap just as much discrimination. Tell the parents that you want this to stop, and that you are going to the police to report him stalking you. THAT is treating someone equal to others, not only the 'fun' things, but also the bad.

to everyone saying "lol it's helping someone else, you stuck-up bitch!"... what if it were someone without a disability coming in and taking pictures of her while she's working? yeah, it'd make that dude happy, too, so should she laugh it off in that scenario? 47 had it dead-on. even if this kid is unaware how creepy his actions are, his parents need to show him that this is not okay, disability or not.

I think the irritant here is you. Also, for the sake of those around you, learn to spell and use grammar!

Down's syndrome is not a free pass to get away with unacceptable behavior. It is especially not a free pass to allow them (or their families) to force complete strangers to tolerate inappropriate behavior. People with Down's Syndrome are not infants and they deserve better than to be treated like unteachable idiots. I for one am sick of seeing the inappropriate disturbing things that some of them do - not because they are prone to poor behavior but because the people that are supposed to take care of them don't have the faintest idea how to nurture and educate them properly.

64 - Are you sure you don't have a touch of a mental disability yourself? Just by reading your comment and observing your grammar and language you don't seem like you are all that bright either. The OP does not need to be put in a position where she feels uncomfortable just because it makes this kid happy to watch her all the time. (By the way I know I asked if you have a mental disability instead of a chromosomal disorder, but I think mental disability suits you better than what your cousin or this kid has).

well 131, if u can just get past her mispelling, and read what she's is saying, which I know alot of people here have trouble with, you will see that she obviously has a heart and feels a strong desire to protect those who can't do so for themselves! do you have a humanitarian deficiencie?

So as long as I don't slap you, I can do anything to you? Oh no, not me, because I am not disabled. Well: welcome to the world of discrimination

It's nice to be important but it's more important to be nice. I'm sure the kid means no harm. Look at it from a different angle and you'll see the beauty in it.
