Today, after seeing a cute girl on the bus, I tried to look cool by flipping my hair, only to smack the side of my head into the bus window. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I went to the mall and saw a really cute guy. I acted all cool and started doing a sexy hair flip. On the way back up from my hair flip I hit my head on a cellphone stand. FML
Today, on the school bus, I rapped on a window in an attempt to get my friend's attention. A guy sitting behind me took this as an opportunity to shove my face into the window, breaking my nose. FML
Today, on the bus, I caught the eye of this ugly, sweaty girl giving me a death stare through the driver's mirror. I gave her a death stare back. Only then I realized I was staring at myself. FML
Today, I was taking the bus home from work. I went to pull the cord to request a stop when the driver slammed on the breaks to avoid running a red light, causing me to get thrown out of my seat and slide down the aisle and hit my head on a pole by the front of the bus. FML
Today, I was saying goodbye to my boyfriend before I got on my bus. As I turned to get on, the door closed on my face. I knocked on the door. The driver looked at me, and while still staring at me, drove off. FML
Today, I was on the bus during rush hour. A fly started buzzing around my head, and I swatted at it, at the exact moment the woman beside me decided to get out of her seat and put her face straight in the path of my hand. FML
Today, I was riding my bike down a hill and noticed a pretty girl sitting at the bus stop. I guess I was staring pretty hard, because the next thing I knew, I was swerving off the road and smashing into a tree. She laughed at me. FML
Today, while I was on the bus, my foot fell asleep. When we arrived at my stop, I stood up and limped to the front of the bus. As I walked down the steps, I tripped, fell, and smashed my nose into the ground. The driver just laughed and drove away. FML
Today, I was riding the bus. Suddenly, it appeared to start to snow inside the bus, and I assumed a window was open. When I looked up however, I discovered the girl in front of me putting her hair up in a ponytail. The so-called "snow" was coming off of her head. FML
Today, I spotted a guy I like slyly checking me out, so I did what I thought would be a dramatic but nonchalant hair flip. Instead, my hair got caught in the strap of my bag, and I ended up yanking myself backwards like a clumsy stuntman. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

*reads "tried to look cool..."* *instantly hits YDI 4972 times* Never mind the fact that you think hair flipping would make you look cool.

Flicking hair is a girl's move, not a man's move

OP could be a girl. The username isn't always correct ya know.

OP could be a girl. If a man has a great head of long hair, it still can be hot and I'm going to notice because it's pretty hair and an unexpected move. Don't assume everyone feels the need to conform to such struck gender stereotypes.

Careful, it's a tumblr feminazi.

#2 found the sexist homophobic trash. Good old societal gender norms. If you've ever seen Fabio, he has shoulder length or longer hair and flips it and plenty of women go wild. Virgins are so jealous....they've never taken a risk to flirt with a potential mate. Like it or not, society is slowly evolving awwy from archaic trash thoughts. Once the planarians holding it back die off, we can speed it ip.

I disagree, flipping hair can be a girl thing but it can also definitely be a guy thing too! ;)

DocBastard is that really you? Welcome back!

Dont mind the trash virgins OP. FYL, not YDI. What do the geniuses say if you try to show off but nothing bad happens? It's all luck. Karma doesn't apply here. You get a SO by taking a bit of a risk. Animals impress mates, and you'd have to be stupid to not know we are animals too. It's actually normal behavior to show off to a reasonable degree. Poor bastard is just jealous that the girl OP was after is probably 10x hotter than what he pulls. Look at Fabio, case closed. You can be a muscled guy with long pretty hair and attract women. It's a sign of being secure in your masculinity and sexuality to not conform. Of course you can't tell old people that. They were raised wrong and are stuck in their ways.

Yeah, everyone wants Fabio's repressed middle age house wives reading romance novels to escape reality.

Thanks for the laugh #34

I concur. Every time I read something like "thinking I would look cool," or "trying to impress," I always go with YDI.

I think I'll take the opportunity to remind everyone that we were all young and stupid once, and for the twat who said "flicking hair is a woman's move" I'd like to remind you that lesbians exist!

Given OP's user name, I'm going to assume this is a guy. Either way, "trying to look cool" usually ends up with you looking like a doofus. If you see someone you think is cute, a smile is probably best. Maybe say hi.

Sjw alert!

Where does it say anywhere that the OP is a man? And even if s/he is a dude, guys can rock a hair flick- some girls are into that on longer-haired guys. So much judgement so quickly!

please do not reproduce.

Agreed. A man with a good head of hair and rock it and be hot as hell.

It looks like this is an unpopular opinion based on the down votes, but I also enjoy a man with some luscious locks.

There's always the possibility of a sympathy date. Let's hope she's the type that loves taking care of injured animals.

"I tried to look cool..." I love this line. Chances of actually being cool plummet into single digits.

At least you made her laugh. That's something, right?

What ever happened to the whole, "Hey, how you doing?' approach? I know it's easy to look stupid if you stutter your way through trying to pick a girl up, but we all see what happens when you take the alternative approach. Plus, if you talk to her, even if you stutter your way through it and fail miserably, at least you have a little more experience for next time. Practice makes perfect.
