Today, I was working as a character at an amusement park. I was walking with another character and we went over to a baby girl. She smiled and laughed at my co-worker. When she saw me, she started screaming and crying. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, as I worked as a cashier, two girls came up laughing. I smiled as I rang them up, asking what had made them laugh so hard. One looked me dead in the face and said, "You." They then both walked away, laughing. FML
Today, I worked at my job at an amusement park at one of the roller coasters. I have to go around and make sure that every seat belt is around the passenger. I saw my boyfriend in a seat and ran over to say hi. I saw a girl next to him. I had to strap down my cheating boyfriend and the new girl. FML
Today, I was at a restaurant when I made eye contact with a baby across the room. It smiled at me, so I smiled back. The baby immediately started screaming. Everyone stared at me like I'd just threatened it. FML
Today, I was at the park with my daughter. She walked up to a boy at the swings, held her hand out, and said, "Hi I'm Vanessa, and someday you'll be working for me." FML
Today, I waved at a baby while standing in line in a store. It started screaming. Its mom looked over in mild concern and gave me a disturbed glare before moving to the next checkout counter over. FML
Today, I was at Disneyland with some of my friends. While eating lunch, we watched a small child get frightened by the person dressed as Mickey Mouse. We all burst out laughing only to be jumped by Chip and Dale. Apparently I scream louder than the little kid. FML
Today, I visited a waterpark with friends. At one point, a woman floating near me suddenly says to me, "How are you doing, honey?" Instinctively, I replied, "I'm well". The woman gave me a strange look and I turned around to find she was talking to her child directly behind me. FML
Today, I was working at a children's play centre, and my stomach was twisting and turning. Thinking no one was around, I let out a small fart, only to turn and see a little girl running to her mom, yelling, "Mommy! Mommy! That lady just farted and it sounded like daddy!" FML
Today, I went to the mall. A little girl was walking around and telling everyone that they were pretty. When she got to me, she gave me a disgusted look and walked away. FML
Today, at the mall, I ran into a lost, crying little girl. It was my best friend's daughter. She recognized and clung on to me. As I called her dad, some nosy lady snatched her from me and caused a scene, screaming, "KIDNAPPER!" As I got apprehended, her claim was she heard me say, "If you still want to see her…" FML

He-who-must-not-be-named. Are you trying to get yourself killed by saying his name?

No, no. OP was a dementor. Who's scared of Voldemort? Most of us have something he doesn't.... .....noses. :D

That's the scary part... He's going to be searching the world for a nose! It could be yours.

No, no. Just pretend to be dead. That's what Harry did.

25: I'm now imagining Voldemort playing the "got your nose" thumb-game with small children.

Don't sweat it OP, kids are strange little creatures. You could have been the child's favorite character in the world, but being up close and personal is a different story.

I don't know why OP was so upset by this. This is a baby we're talking about, screaming and crying is their stock-in-trade.

The fear. The kids can smell yours. They're cries and screams are an alarm. Put on a squeaky voice and cheerful mood, they'll let you live.

Squeaky voice? I'm not sure whether to be offended or flattered.

This all depends on what costume you were wearing. Grotesque witch, monster, or other villain: EPIC WIN! Prince, princess, adorable fuzzy protagonist: EPIC FAIL!

I find crying back at babies works best.
