Today, I wore my high school letterman jacket while I was out shopping. A man saw me and muttered to his wife about how sad it is some adults can't grow up and continue to wear their high school paraphernalia, constantly trying to relive their senior year. I am a senior. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I saw my former high school teacher at the mall. After a nice conversation, she mentioned that I "still dress like a slut." FML
Today, I ran into some friends from high school who had just gotten back from college. We were talking about what happened during our sophomore year. When it was my turn to tell them what I had been doing, all I could say was, "Well, I started wearing V-neck t-shirts and they're pretty comfortable." FML
Today, I discovered that I can fit back into the clothes I wore in High School. I was proud of this until my husband told me that I look like a stuffed sausage in them. FML
Today, my husband's high school friends got together tonight. Nothing more pathetic than listening to a bunch of losers reliving their glory days as high school seniors. I honestly thought I would have picked someone better than this. My husband fucking peaked at 17. FML
Today, I was wearing a letterman jacket that had my school name and "Okinawa Japan" on the back. A high school kid walks up to me and says, "I can't forgive you people for bombing Pearl Harbor." I'm black. FML
Today, it occurred to me that it’s not normal that I still fit into all my clothes from when I was in high school. I’m 24 and I haven’t outgrown any of my clothes since I was 12. FML
Today, I bought a new shirt I thought looked cool. At work, three people complimented me, then each one added a variation of, “My dad has the same one!” By lunch, my confidence had left the building entirely. A coworker even asked if I’d gotten it from the “retro section.” FML
Today, was my high school's senior awards ceremony. Over 400 people were crammed in the hot auditorium. I won five awards and each time I was called up the laughter grew louder. Apparently even the back row could see my pit stains. FML
Today, I went to my high school reunion. I was super excited to see what everyone had done in their lives. The nerdy guy I bullied is now a U.S. Marine and already has two deployments in Afghanistan under his belt. He looked at me in his dress blues and said, "I remember you." FML
Today, I went to my high school reunion. Someone walked up to me and said, "Wow, you look so different!" She then followed it up with, "You used to be so pretty, what happened?" FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I actually like the fact that I look older than I am because people take me more seriously.

Of course she deserves it, for being presumptuous. OP, the world does not revolve around you. Don't assume he assumed you're an adult; he could have simply been sharing a pet peeve of his, of which you reminded him. Why default to taking personal offense?

So you're older than you look? That must have hurt you confidence. :)

No, he's younger then he looks.

No... I think he's saying that he's older than he looks..
elmorous 0
He never actually states his age, just that he is still a high school senior. He could have flunked Kindergarden and a couple other grades. That would make him 20 or 21.

Dear lord. He is YOUNGER than he looks. Think before you correct a comment correcting a comment.

#44: Wrooong. You've got the gender wrong, it says "WOMAN". Another thing you also didn't bother reading, the man in the store said *she* looked like an adult trying to relive her High School years. That means she's older than she looks, not younger. Think before you correct a comment correcting a comment.

#48 you are wrong while she is a woman it clearly stated at the end that she us a senior. Since someone thought she is an adult she is younger then she looks
wildcatman 0
#52 If she looked younger than she did the man would say why do 8th graders wear high school clothes. So OP is older than she looks.
DudeImBetter 0
do people ever use their brains on this site. she's younger than she looks. the dude said why people always wanna relive their senior year so he thought that she was older than a senior but she really is a senior so she looks older (adult) than what she really is (senior). I'm smert.

LMFAO! Thank you to all the uber retarded people who post on this site. I had a good laugh over your ignorance. Wow...

ok, it doesnt state a he or she. and it's youngerthan he/she looks cuz they said people need to Forget they're senior year shit. therefor. He/she is younger than he/she looks. Dumbfucks.

Please go look at the OP's name. The gender is clearly posted next to it.

OMFG. OP looks older then they are = OP is younger than they look. Try thinking a little.

Wow, you guys [saying OP is younger than she looks] are total dumb *****. Read: "some adults can't grow up and continue to wear their high school paraphernalia" How the **** does that mean she's younger than she looks? If she was younger than she looks, the man wouldn't have called her an adult. She's a senior in High School, and he thought she was already OUT of High School trying to RELIVE her High School years. Jesssusssss. That's like saying "I'm in 8th grade and somebody said I looked like I was in 10th grade, that must mean I'm younger than I look."

Today, a man in a store was talking about me, saying it's sad how people already out of High School still wear their High School stuff.... but, I'm still in High School. That must mean he thinks I'm in the 6th grade."

98- It's hilarious how unbelieveably mentally disabled you are. I'm surprised you're able to use a computer, let alone breathe for that matter. Think about what it means to be younger than you look. If I say you look like you're 40, but you're actually 20 what does that mean? Does that mean you're older than you look? No, that wouldn't make sense because last time I checked being 20 is younger than being 40. On the flip side, if I say you look like you're 20 but you're 40 what does that mean? That means you're older than you look because last time I checked being 40 is older than being 20.

It really is hilarious, especially considering it took 98 three paragraphs to prove herself wrong. But what do we know? We are dumbfucks...

wow, are people this stupid?

OH MY FRICKIN' GOD. OP is younger than she looks. She looks old, but is young. if she were older than she looks, she would look young, but be old. Still with me, or still lagging? 98- nice contradicting yourself.

This is one of the most idiotic arguments ever because 98 is clearly wrong . :|
VeganVampyre 27
You people are unbelievably stupid. There is a huge difference between BEING younger than you really are, and LOOKING younger than you are. If OP is 18 and the man thought she was, for example, 30, that means OP IS 18 but LOOKS 30. She LOOKS OLDER than she really is, or she is YOUNGER than she LOOKS. If she had actually been 30 years old and the man thought she looked 18, then she would be older than she looks, or look younger than she really is. Is that really too ******* complicated for some of you to grasp?!?!

No way. Way better to look younger. That way when you get older, assuming you take care of yourself, people will compliment you on how damn young you look :) Worked for me.

21- I know older people like to look younger, but as a 20 year old who spent all of last August repeatedly being asked if I was excited to be starting high school, and having to explain that I'm not 16, I'm 20 and I already graduated, looking younger than you are at my age sucks!

Oh yeah, I can see a Pulitzer for poetry on KaySL's horizon. As for you, Ms "Selena_is_back" if some of these critters choose to wallow in self-pity, what is that to you? You certainly have a bright future ahead of you.

56, OK, I see your point, but I am known for creating new expressions that my French friends like to quote for entertainment. We call it "pas du mauvais Français, mais du Français avec un gout different."

Why does it matter what a stranger thinks? YDI for letting it bother you, unless you were out of high school and what he said was exactly what you are, which you arent...

kids nowadays look older!
Selena_is_back 7
with make up.

agreed. most teenage females look older than they Are with the help of make-up. I have never worn make-up and look 14. although I am 18. it sucks Now but will be a good thing later.

Who cares, you probably won't even see him again. That guy's a moron for caring so much about what other people wear. You could have corrected him after hearing his comment.
