Today, I went to IHOP for breakfast. As we were leaving, I realized a little girl took my Hello Kitty hairclip. For the next 5 minutes, I fought with an 8 year-old for a hairclip. She won. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, as I was waiting in line at the check out, some guy came up behind me, plucked a hair out of my head, and ran off with it. FML
Today, some friends and I went to IHOP. We joked about not having enough money, and as it turns out we were $5 short. We put down what we had and left. Upon getting to the car, I realized I'd forgotten my phone, and had to go back. I made eye contact with our waitress, our money in her hand. FML
Today, my 45-year-old child of a mother made such a dramatic scene over finding a hair in her food that the initially apologetic owners ended up kicking my family out. 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
Today, while at a restaurant, I watched in horror as my daughter picked a hair out of her food and continued eating it. FML
Today, I went to the hair salon. When I got home, my three-year-old daughter told me I looked like Dora the Explorer. FML
Today, when I was finished eating at McDonald's, I went to Shoppers to pick up a new toothbrush. I got back to my car only to find the windows smashed in. The only thing that was missing from my car was the Hello Kitty toy I got from McDonald's. Someone broke into my car for a 10 cent toy. FML
Today, a crazy woman grabbed my hair and mentioned how lovely it was. She then asked when I would donate it. I told her I didn't want to, at which point she started yelling that she was going to get some scissors and cut it all off to teach me a lesson. FML
Today, my four-year-old daughter thought it'd be funny to cut my hair while I was sleeping. FML
Today, I used the bathroom that the high school shares with elementary kids. As I was pulling my pants down, my phone fell out of my pocket into the other stall. As I was reaching for it, the little girl in the other stall took it and ran away. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I feel ya, OP. It's not immature to be wearing cute hair clips. A lot of people also do that. It's stupid that the kid got your hair clip. You'd think her parents would notice that it's not hers and maker her give it back...

What did her parents do? Back her up? Unless she reached over and took it out of your hair or off the table, you dropped it somewhere. Finders Keepers. If it's that important, have an announcement made that someone lost a hairclip and hope they're honest. If they're not, one mark against them and they're not raising her right - not your problem. I make my kids give shit back if it's not theirs - either to the person looking for it or to lost and found. You wouldn't have a problem with me but not all parents are like that. Seriously? It's just a hairclip so cut your losses instead of fighting if they say, "No" to giving it back. I say FTheirL because they're not raising her right.

Your consolation prize is that you have been forced to grow up a little bit.

does anyone else wonder why her clip was just out at the restaraunt?

Yes, I did wonder that. It seems likely that the OP set it on her table, which means she was playing with her hair in a restaurant. Just two of the many YDIs in this FML. Others include: actually owning a Hello Kitty hair accessory, caring enough about it to fight with a child over it, assuming the kid took it, losing the argument, and attaching enough significance to the incident to let it **** her day.

That doesn't necessarily mean she was playing with her hair. I know if I have clips or bands in my hair, if they start falling off/getting loose I'll take it off before I lose it.

You'll take it out without going to the restriom, and not stick it in a pocket or otherwise out of sight? If the little girl saw it, it was in plain view, and any way you look at it, loose hairclips should not be in plain view at a restaurant. She should have excused herself and put it into her Kermit the Frog purse.
