Today, I was out to coffee with an extremely attractive friend. A crazy man came up to the window we were facing. He took one look at her, then turned to me with a big, congratulatory smile, flashing me a thumbs-up. Then he turned to her, frowned disappointedly and gave a thumbs-down. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I went to grab a coffee at a new café in town. While sipping my coffee, I noticed a man staring at me through the window. I thought he was browsing the menu before I looked up mid-sip to him staring at me in the eye, sucking on his finger. FML
Today, I was at a club with a friend. A cute guy kept smiling and looking over at me. He left his seat and went to the bar and brought back two drinks. He waved me over and then said, "Can you tell your hot friend that I bought her a drink?" FML
Today, I met up with a guy from a local dating site for coffee. He walked up, looked me over and said "Ummm, no", then walked off. 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, I went on a coffee date with the man I've been in love with for a while. Before I knew what was going on, he'd started chatting up a pretty girl sitting nearby. I had to drink my coffee alone while he got her number. FML
Today, I was hanging out with a friend at an ice cream place, and a guy started chatting with us. As he eventually went to leave, he told me, "That's a nice looking date you got there." Then he turned to my friend. "Wish I could say the same to you." 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, I took my best friend out for a night in town, after he got dumped by his girlfriend recently. As we were walking around, we passed a group of hot women, a couple who were checking him out. Trying to be encouraging, I said "He's single!" and winked. One of the girls was his ex-girlfriend. FML
Today, I ran into an attractive friend of a friend I hadn't seen since a night out last month. I tried my best to be friendly and interesting, but he still seemed awkward. Later I found out that the last time he saw me I was blind drunk and vomiting after having propositioned him all evening. FML
Today, I was at a coffee shop, trying to get to know the cute new barista. I wanted to compliment his nice eyes, but I got nervous and blurted out, "You have nice elbows!" He stared at me, confused, as I quickly grabbed my coffee and left. Now I can't even imagine going back there. FML

What an ingenious comment.

Yours was even better!!!!

You can't laugh it off. OP is being called ugly and that his friend shouldn't be around him. If that was me well I can say some serious shit would go down.

if anyone cared to notice the details, it was OP's friend who got the thumbs down, not OP

Do you know what also "sucks"? Your God damn spelling.

The friend got the thumb down referring to the friend

37- yeah, the friend got the thumbs down from the crazy man at the window, because he was saying, "your date is -thumbs down-". As in, OP is not good enough for the friend he was having coffee with. Geddit? I sure hope so.

31- That would make you angry? Comeon, take a joke! It makes life more fun to laugh at yourself :)

I think it's VERY nice that the "crazy" man treated OPs friend like a human not just an object. She got the thumbs down because he obviously assumed they were more than friends. He was saying she could do better. I'm sorry you're not as attractive as your friend, OP, but who cares? Looks aren't everything; you aren't actually dating; and it was a funny JOKE! Don't take yourself so seriously.

OP said she's just a friend so it should be a non-issue. No good friend ditches another because some random stranger finds him unattractive.

No good partner should either.

You're an Australian. We say arse, not ass. I hate the next generation of Australians. They're butchering the language.

I can't think if anything witty or creative to say, so I'm just gonna say: Damn that sucks. FYL

What a waste of a comment.

Was this an attempt at being funny?

The excitement of being commented number five.

Not surprised that a brony has nothing funny to say

Bite your tongue, Leprechan! Bronys rule! Useless comment, yes, but don't get down on the Ponys.

If you can't think of anything witty, you might want to consider NOT ******* COMMENTING

Haha thats actually really funny! Just laugh it off.

It's not very funny at all... If some random guy came up to you and said "you're ugly" you would be offended. This particular guy just expressed his feelings by action instead of by saying it out loud. P.S. You're 3 minutes late.

51- they blocked the input of new comments for some reason. But also, yesterday it really seemed as if you were saying the way other countries spell certain words (especially England, Canada, and anywhere else that happens to spell color as colour and gray as grey) is totally wrong because it's not The American Way. I've grown up in Canada all my life, and we've always spelled it C-O-L-O-U-R. Canadians don't tell YOU that YOU'RE wrong for spelling it c-o-l-o-r, because, I guess, most of us have the decency to recognize cultural differences when we see them; NOT pointing out those cultural differences as "spelling mistakes".

I'm sorry but that is freaking hilarious. Good luck though, hope it ends well.

I guess these days "honest and assertive" is called "crazy." The "crazy man" is just pointing out what everyone who sees you two thinks.

Not afraid to speak his mind huh?

You're actually spot on, perdix. He came to one of your Zumba sessions a few days ago; he's a very good critic. I invited him to come again next week. I don't know about branch space, though.

maybe if you have bought him coffee that thumbs down may have been a thumbs up.
betterdaysahead 14
you should have pointed to yourself with money in hand and thumbs up to you. to him point with no money thumbs down. lol
