Today, at a science-fiction convention, a woman came up to me and told me that my white face paint was a mess, my contacts looked cheap, and my costume was an all-round failure. I wasn't wearing a costume, I'm an albino. FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was told to rub in my sunscreen because I looked like a ghost. I wasn't wearing any. I'm just that white. FML
Today, I was complimented for having amazingly lifelike warts as part of my witch costume, and was asked how I achieved the effect so well. I didn't have the heart to admit they were just my pimples under green makeup. FML
Today, I was accused of digital blackface and culturally appropriating my own culture. FML
Today, I saw photos of my roommate a recent party. OK, I'll admit I'm a little dark-skinned, but was it really necessary for him to color his face in black marker so he could go as "me" for a Halloween party? FML
Today, I went to a Halloween party dressed as a pirate. Someone complimented me on how convincing the fake teeth were that I had on for my costume. I wasn't wearing fake teeth. FML
Today, I decided not to wear any makeup. I got told 13 times at work that I looked ill. FML
Today, I went to a Halloween party dressed in Charlie Brown's ghost costume, a white sheet with holes all over. I got beat up for dressing like a member of the KKK. FML
Today, after having been told that I looked horrible for the last five months, I decided to give myself a make-over. As soon as the make-up artist was done, I told her I didn't like it, and that I still didn't like how I look. She simply replied: ''Well, I'm a make-up artist, not a magician!'' FML
Today, even though I'm overweight, I was feeling alright about the way I looked in the historical costume I'm required to wear by my job. A little kid came in and asked me if I was having a baby. Guess I don't look as good as I thought. FML
Today, everyone commented on how realistic my "fat suit" was. I didn't dress up for Halloween. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Even if you WERE just wearing a costume, she's still an asshole for thinking its ok to confront and insult a random stranger about the quality of their outfit.

I see this all the time at anime conventions and it bothers the **** out of me. We're all just there to have a good time and share a love of whatever the convention is about. We all have something in common because we're all there and it escapes my grasp to understand why on earth people feel the need to be so cruel.

It's strange how people with similar interests can be so cruel to each other. When I meet people with the same hobbies or interests as me, I get excited. Not angry and insulting towards them. I've never been to a convention, but I remember reading an article written by a cosplayer about the bizarre and sometimes dangerous behavior that goes on at cons. She said that she'd often get spat on, sworn at, and sometimes even assaulted...all because she was dressed as a character that those people didn't like. It's like they couldn't differentiate between real people in costumes and the fictional characters they hated. So bizarre...

Forget about her and move on. Hey now you have an idea for future comic book conventions! Albino bounty hunter!
