Today, I was at a restaurant when I heard a young girl telling her father she didn't think she was pretty. When I got up to leave, I walked past her table and told her she was beautiful. Her dad then punched me in the face. FML

How is it fake? The dad could have thought he was hitting on his daughter. @OP: that was still a very sweet thing to do. :)

awe that father was clearly a jerk. I dont think you deserved that at all. Even if you hadnt heard what she said, its always nice to compliment complete strangers, it makes their day and yours. I STRONGLY disgaree with #110

aww, that sucks. u were only trying to spread some good in the world :/

thats really cute :) how come i've never met any boys that would do this!? anyways. normally the consequence of a compliment isn't a punch to the face. wow. haha

i agree with 66. I would punch you too if i saw an old guy hitting on a little girl.

YDI for being a sketchball. there's a huge difference between telling that to a daughter of a friend and saying it to a complete stranger's kid... you're the reason why fathers are so over-paranoid over the welfare of their daughters.

guess being nice just doesn't always work out for the best.

good intentions, but probably delivered in a creepy way

Aww your so sweet =)

The OP said "a young girl", not "a child". There's quite an age range in "young girl".
