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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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.

It sucks that you would pay $5 for a coffee, but it sucks even more that people can't mind their own business.

I would have done one of the following: a) Thrown the drink back in his face b) Grabbed his arm and told me that he needs to buy me a new drink for harassing me c) Done something super creepy/weird to freak him out d) Said something to totally prove him wrong like, "Well, I was going to help serve at the soup kitchen for the homeless this evening, then I was going to go home and have a nice night playing board games with my whole family and watch (some G rated movie)... Thanks for informing me that I'm the root of all evil. I guess I just won't do that now," in a super sweet (but not sarcastic) tone of voice. :D Seriously though, all the "goths" I know are way nicer and less judgmental than a lot of the cheerleaders and football players I know. People who discriminate based on clothing really grind my gears. FYL for being discriminated against for seeming to be someone your not.

I wish I could give you more than +1. A lot of people dress like that because they're depressed, and a lot of them are depressed because everyone is so damned judgemental. They can be very nice people if given the chance.

Throw it in his face and say "YOU BET YOUR ASS WE ARE!" :P :P Though that would be like proving his point. You could just say "and spitting in other people's drink isnt wrong at all!" THEN spit on him and say "NOW IM GOOD AND PURE LIKE YOU!" :D

Goths aren't the reason for most of the bad stuff. Chavs are :) I hope you set him straight... what a stupid man. FYL

I wouldn't be able to just sit there either... though I wouldn' throw it in his face, as tempting as it is. I'd simply tell him what an idiot he is and eventually force him to apologize...or at least make him leave in a strop knowing I'm right >:] Lol
