Today, I played a goth character in my friend's student film with goth clothes, lip ring, eyeliner, etc. We went into Starbucks at break and an elderly man came up to me and said "Your kind is the reason for all the bad stuff in this world" and then spat in my $5 drink. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I walked to Starbucks. On the way a homeless guy asked me for change and I lied and said I had no money. On my way back, Strawberry Frappuccino in hand, the same guy recognized me. He followed me for 3 blocks, swearing and yelling at me. FML
Today, I was at Starbucks after having a rough day. The old man beside me was talking to his friend. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw him point at me and say, "See that beautiful girl over there?" Flattered, I listened closer… until he finished his statement with, "She's gonna die." FML
Today, it was good fun getting a nice vampire make-up at my drama lesson. It would've been better if I hadn't forgotten my Demak'up. Even better if I could've avoided the crazy glances in the bus home. FML
Today, I had a theatre performance. I had to put on a lot of makeup for the role, and one of the guys said I looked nice. I smiled and said thanks. Seconds later, I'd been sucker-punched by his girlfriend for "flirting" with her man. FML
Today, I got a call from my friend who invited me to a theme party. It was a goth theme, and I decided to get real into it. I put on a trench coat, black skin tight pants, and black paint under the eyes. When I got there I was greeted by a kid in a pink popped collar. It wasn't a theme party. FML
Today, I was having a rough day, so I decided to go to the movies to unwind. 15 minutes in, some assmunch behind me said "This movie sucks!" then dumped his drink over my head and ran out. FML
Today, after already having a terrible day, I went to Starbucks for an espresso. Being nice, I put the last dollar I had in my wallet in their tip jar. While paying for my drink, my card was denied for insufficient funds. The world hates me. FML
Today, at work, I was making an appointment for an old lady who told me, "You look like a movie star!" I started to thank her when she followed up with, "Like that girl from the horror movie! Your black hair and pale skin makes you look scary! Oh, sorry…" with the coworker I hate the most sitting right next to me. FML
Today, I went to a coffee shop with my friend. The guy rang her up and said it was only a dollar as he winked at her $10 purchase. Then he rang me up at completely full price. She got his number and I got to be the ugly friend once again. FML
Today, a guy came into the small coffee shop I work at, and got angry because I wouldn't accept his Starbucks gift card as valid payment. When I told him we clearly aren't a Starbucks, he said "It's all the same shit" and ended up throwing a punch at me. FML

No, the people who mind their own business aren't the reason for bad "stuff" in the world, it's the dickheads who feel they need to irritate the people who mind their own business.

The old guy was obviously bitter about something.

I hope you pointed out that a large amount of the bad in this world, economically anyway, is caused by overpopulation from people living longer, these people also tend to hoard their money thus causing a stagnation as there isn't as much inheritance coming down (by the time the senile old sh1ts like him die they've spent all their money on paying for their home), inheritance being often used to kickstart the next generation's family, paying mortgages, etc... Yeah.. SNAP

You should have splashed your drink on him.

I wonder what "Your kind" the old bastard had a problem with. Was it: A) Goths B) Actors C) Assholes involved in "student film." D) Pretentious jackasses who buy $5 coffee drinks driving up the price for those who want just a simple cup o' Joe. E) Dudes wearing stage make-up offstage (when they really just want to wear make-up.) F) People who help out their friends G) All of the above

Gah, regardless of whether you are really goth or not, this would be an FYL. People are ridiculous. They don't know what you do with your time--I mean, you could spend your free time volunteering at a homeless shelter, but old farts like him wouldn't care because of your lip ring! Did they give you a new drink? When I worked at the 'bucks, we would have.

I doubt I would have had the self-control to resist throwing it in their face (or at the very least - to avoid an assault charge - pouring it on their shoe). Good on you for having some restraint. You're the nicer person. I should imagine you could have got them banned from the branch if you'd brought it up with the manager there.

I hope you at least got them to ban his ass from the shop.

what an old fart. people like him are actually what's wrong with this world, judging other based on their looks and thinking they're oh so much better. and then old people wonder why kids today don't respect them... how about showing US some respect too? if i was the OP I woulda been so pissed...

Most of my customers at my job are older people and I've given up being polite to anyone who can't be polite back. My mother taught me to say "please", "thank you", "yes/no ma'am/sir", "excuse", etc. I'm 26 and I have to wonder how the hell it is that I have more manners than people who are twice my age and more!
