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
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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!

Damn. Did you tell her off? And tell her you are an albino?

I'm an albino too. So there are at least two of us on FML!

Maybe she is a wizard in the reverse Klan, trying to persecute the extra white.

Maybe try a Capitalist approach instead of the split-tasks Communist approach.

That woman is horrible. I mean even if you were in costume, what kind of person would say that to anyone.

Every time I've seen something like this happen, the person who was actually insulted for their physical qualities has been much more attractive than the offender.

You should have punched her in the face. And then screamed: I AM ALBINO! HEAR ME ROAR!!

Forget about it and move on OP, pitch was probably jealous and tried to make herself feel better
