Today, I was on a train. An elderly woman and her daughter got on, looking for a seat. The daughter suggested the one next to mine. The elderly woman looked at me and said something in Russian. I speak some Russian. She said she didn't want to "sit by the hooker." FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, as I caught the train home, a woman got on and sat on the only available seat next to me. We got talking and as the train approached the next station, she said that this was her stop and she had to go. She exited the train and I turn to see her enter the compartment behind me. FML
Today, I offered my seat to an elderly lady on the subway. She quietly refused. Minutes later on a sharp turn, she almost fell down on two people. As I was clearly the youngest in the disability seating section, everyone on the train turned and glared at me. FML
Today, I was on the bus, when an elderly woman stepped in. She looked too weak to stand. She looked at me with sad puppy eyes, expecting me to give up my seat for her. I felt sorry and got up. As soon as she sat down, she said, "Ha! Sucker!" FML
Today, I was sitting on a plane waiting for everyone to get on. A cute guy around my age had the option of sitting next to me or an old guy. He gave me a horrified look and immediately sat next to the old man. I got to sit next to his mother. She evil eyed me the whole time. FML
Today, I was riding the train home, and I sat in the row in front of a homeless woman. I noticed an old man staring at me. I got off the train after a long 6 stops, and the old man who had been staring at me walks up to me and say,s "The lady behind you was flicking lice onto you the whole time." FML
Today, I was on the train next to an elderly woman. When I told her it was my stop, she turned her knees towards the aisle, and I, thinking that she was letting me go by, began to edge past. She screamed, "DON'T PUSH ME!" and the whole train turned to look. I was thus the asshole pushing the old lady. FML
Today, I offered an elderly man my seat on the train. He thanked me by winking and offering me a seat on his lap. FML
Today, I went on a busy train. I packed myself in close to a very good looking woman and, too scared to say anything, looked out the window. After feeling a hand on my ass, I assumed it was her. To not ruin the moment, I didn't look back. After a few stops, I looked back. It was an old man. FML
Today, a pretty girl joined the line at the bus station. I let her skip the line and go before me so I could sit next to her. After she bought her ticket, I realized there were no more seats left on that bus. I was told to get off, and had to take the next bus, sitting next to a snoring old man. FML
Today, there was a pretty girl sitting near me on the train home. I thought about asking for her number., but instead a drunk nitwit decided to wander around the car and came very close to touching her. She got up and moved to the other end, while I had to deal with a belligerent hobo who was now intent on fighting me. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

You should've said something in Russian right back. Very rude of her.

You definitely deserve It for dressing like a hooker, wear some clothes i agree with DocBastard leave something to the imagination !
kitsune3 20
Oh, I see. So you were there, and could see her outfit? No? Then shut the hell up. For all you or DocBastard know, she could have been dressed in a very conservative outfit. Elderly people and people from other nations (both of which the lady was,) have different ideas of what's considered appropriate or inappropriate clothing.

Or she was cranky because she didn't have her morning coffee ( or vodka. Who knows?)

If people actually knew what conservative clothing was they would know when seniors and foreigners were likely to judge their outfits as scandalous. I've been all over the world and the prostitute's "uniform" is pretty much standardized.

Are people's perceptions and preconceptions "standardized" too? Of course not. So, you can't assume that OP was wearing a "prostitute's uniform" just because someone said she looked like a hooker. People see and interpret things in different ways.

Yeah kitsune, I'm sure the old lady saw jeans and a sweatshirt and thought "prostitute". You think Russian prostitutes dress differently than American ones? I don't ******* think so. Get your head out of your ass and realise that OP was probably just dressed provocatively.

you say you speak SOME Russian. maybe you got it wrong and she actually said she doesn't want to sit near stinky.

While the girl probably didn't have many clothes on, old people's perception of clothing is so different compared to ours. Just take the seat, in my opinion.

Russians are so harsh!

And racism is unnecessary.

I would have given her the middle finger had I known she said that... Bitch.

Are you a hooker? If so, YDI for being one. If not, YDI for dressing like one.

The daughter probably was embarrassed, I take my gran to most of the places she needs to go & elderly people think they can say whatever they want. Being old doesn't justify being rude, but cursing out someone's grandma won't make you feel any better either.

Uuummm yolo ? Maybe?
baronsmommy 14
Say yolo AGAIN!!! (sam Jackson voice)

IM SORRY * runs away crying *

26- I know how you feel my grandma is the same exact way! She told my sister and that we looked like "*****" but it got excused by my mother as being her being "elderly" Bullshit. ( sorry for the true life story )

Yolo is a fag word

@27 Exactly. Also, on top of both those things, elderly people say weird things all the time.

That was very crude of her, and she shouldn't have been talking about you like you couldn't hear her. If you were dressed in appropriate clothing, then I feel very bad for you. It goes the other way, too, because if you were dressed like most girls do now, then I'd say you deserve it. Now, women tend to wedge themselves in tight clothes like sausages, constantly have to readjust to keep their various cracks hidden because the clothes never fit right, wear shorts so short they are lingerie, wear tights as if they are pants, get constant yeast infections from wearing jeans that cling to their crotch clams, and wear see-through clothing. I can honestly see why the elderly lady would have said something if you were wearing any of that. Otherwise, FYL.

Well said!! Young girls need to learn that it's nigh on impossible for people to see waaay too much crackage in public while simultaneously respecting you. Cover up - show dignity, not desperation!
stormchaser24 24
Are you sure, since you only speak some you could have misunderstood. I know a tiny bit of Arabic and done Spanish. I don't understand and mishear people a lot. Can't say YDI or FYL because you didn't say what you where wearing.
