Today, at my job in a chemists, I had a customer ask me which acne cream I would recommend. I picked up the brand I use and told her that I've been using it for a year now. After pausing to stare at my face for a second, she thanked me and picked up the competing brand instead. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I had a lady come up to me in a store just to tell me how bad my acne was and what remedies I should use. I got so embarrassed, all I could say was, "OK" and, "Thank you" until she left me alone. FML
Today, a woman at the crowded mall stopped me and told me loudly that if I bought her product it would get rid of my acne. FML
Today, I got in line at the grocery store. The woman in front of me looked right at me, turned to her friend, and said "That reminds me, I forgot to get acne cream." FML
Today, I was shopping with my friends and I got asked by a man if I could be in one of his commercials. I obviously said yes without thinking twice. I then found out that he wanted me to be the before picture for an acne control moisturizer. FML
Today, after lifting a 20 pound box of oranges for a woman at work, she turned around to say, "Your acne needs help." I still had to tell her to have a good day. FML
Today, I found out that what I thought was "acne" is actually an allergic reaction to a cream I've been using for years. I thought the cream was helping me with the breakouts but my doctor says the real acne probably went away naturally years ago. FML
Today, I found out that my intense acne is actually an allergic reaction to the "deep clean" product I've been using to reduce it. I've been using this product for the past ten years. Ten years of suffering through "acne" could have been easily avoided. FML
Today, my teenage daughter asked me to buy her the morning after pill, saying, "It's for my acne." FML
Today, the clerk at Walmart asked me if the stretch mark cream I was buying was for my wife. I wish I could've said yes. FML
Today, at work as an optician, I gave a little girl a new pair of glasses and asked her if she could see better with them. She replied, "Oh, yeah, you've got two big zits on your nose!" FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

agree to #3. Your skin gets used to it and it stops working, thats why you have to frequently change acne medicines. And i feel for you, i have horrible acne and i know its nobody's fault and sometimes you just cant beat it. And for all of you who are going to comment saying that its his fault for having acne YOUR WRONG. On a lot of people no medicine can get their acne away. I was my face 3 times a day with some of the most expensive acne medicine in the US and it barely works. Ive used proactiv, cleannclear, and abogi. None of them worked that well

Different things work for different people. I'm 18 and rarely get zits, but I use relatively cheap clean n clear to prevent them. It makes my friend's skin break out like nothing else though. I've never been in the acne boat, but I think people saying rude things are horrible. It's not something you can help, and most people with it try to get rid of it.

Am i the only one wondering wtf is a chemist's, and why a chemist carries acne medication? A pharmacist maybe...?

#32 a chemist is a pharmacy, a drug store. I think they call them chemists in the UK?

how can you even call the customer a bitch? she saw the op was pizza faced. it's not the customer's fault she advertised something that looked like it didn't work for shit.

Awwh. FYL for having acne. but ydi a little cause you recommended a brand that (obviously) doesn't work too well. But the FYL outweighs the YDI here...so YLIF. Seriously. D:
