Today, I was in the gas station and I saw this creepy lady staring at me and smiling. She just didn't stop. I even gave an awkward wave to let her know that I saw her staring at me. Finally I decided to confront the woman, turns out the overly happy woman was a cardboard cut out FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was at the mall in a store looking at movie posters. I turned around and suddenly saw a creepy guy smiling at me, holding his arms out wide. I screamed, "Holy shit!" really loudly, causing everyone to stop and stare at me funny. Then I realized the creepy man was a cardboard cutout. FML
Today, I noticed a strange lady following me around in the mall. After a while I began to get creeped out, so I confronted her. Apparently she has to make sure everything she buys is better than what I buy. After a long silence she said, "What? You never noticed me before?" FML
Today, I was at a restaurant, and I saw my friend. When we made eye contact, I made a creepy face at her and twitched my arms to make her laugh. A woman looked over said sadly, "Oh my God, that poor girl!" She thought I was "special." FML
Today, I realized just how shy and awkward I really am when I averted my eyes to avoid making eye contact with someone who turned out to be a cardboard cut-out. FML
Today, I realized at the train station that every day for a month, I've been waving to a cardboard cut-out of a person in the morning. I thought they were real. They're cardboard. FML
Today, in a crowded store, I waved at someone who looked familiar. The woman frowned, looked behind her, then back at me, and said, “Do I know you?” I panicked and said, “Yes… spiritually?” She walked away faster than I’ve ever seen flee. FML
Today, I went to a grocery store after work, exhausted. I nodded politely at a woman who smiled at me repeatedly. I realized at checkout she thought I was someone she knew. I nodded through a full conversation without knowing who I was pretending to be. FML
Today, I noticed a girl looking at me on the train. Playing it cool, I decided to give her a smile and see what would happen. It came out as a creepy, seedy grin, prompting her to call security. FML
Today, a woman was staring at me. This went on for about five minutes until I couldn't take it anymore. I screamed at her to cut it out. It turns out she had a lazy eye. FML
Today, I saw a girl on the subway that I knew so I started waving frantically. She gave me a really weird expression and moved quickly away from me. Then I realised that I only knew her because I had stalked her Facebook once. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

You deserved it but why is there a cardboard cut out of a creepy woman at a gas station?

HAHA! Nice. My mom and several of my aunts have done this, I think it's just like a woman to do something like this. One time my aunt was at the mall and she kept waving at this women who looked familiar that she kept catching looking at her. So then she realized it was a mirror and that she kept watching and waving at herself. I personally thinks that's even worse than this FML.

Hahaha. It's cool, I've been startled by cardboard cutouts in stores before thinking there was someone behind me, or about it run into me.

Yea, I know how you feel. We have a edward cullen cutout (I think for a horror in our movie making class) and everytime I get up he's in the corner and scares the crap out of me. Every time.

Did the shiny gloss or the fact that she wasn't moving at all( even to breath) not tip you off??

I've seen these same ladies in corner stores everywhere around here, I mistook her quite a few times for a real person, I even excused myself when I bumped into it once, it startled me about 10 times... Stupid freaking cardboard bitch lol

I was in a bookstore once and saw this guy who looked JUST like Robert Pattinson. And I thought to myself "Wow, that guy looks just like him. Too cool. Even if it's not him, I can't resist going up to say hi." He didn't say hi back. I think it had something to do with the fact that he was cardboard and had the word Twilight under him.
