Today, instead of watching a movie like a normal family, we performed random acts of kindness by handing out roses to total strangers in the freezing cold. No one would take them. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, after a romantic dinner, movie, and stroll in the park, we had our first kiss. It would have been perfect, had a passerby not thrown rubbish at us for "unnecessary public display of affection." FML
Today, just so my family would think someone might actually be interested in me, I bought myself roses and attached a secret admirer card to them. My plan would have worked if I hadn't forgotten to take the receipt off the kitchen counter. FML
Today, my aunt and I wanted to do something nice. So we made cookies for a local nursing home. After tasting them, nobody ate any. FML
Today, I went caroling with some family friends. We got pelted with oranges. FML
Today, for my birthday, my family offered to take one of my friends to the movies with me. I had to pay a random person in my class to pose as a friend of mine, so that I wouldn't look pathetic in front of my parents. She forgot my name three times. They didn't buy it. FML
Today, I bought myself a flower for Valentine's Day to be delivered to myself from "Anonymous". FML
Today, I arranged to have some flowers delivered at work for Valentine's Day so that my colleagues will think someone likes me. FML
Today, I lit candles and scattered rose petals on the floor and on the furniture to surprise my girlfriend. When she came in, she sneezed uncontrollably because apparently she’s extremely allergic to these particular roses. The night ended with me driving her to the ER instead of dinner. FML
Today, a group of carolers was coming up my street, so I went out in the cold to wait for them. When they finally arrived, I waved and greeted them. They huddled up discussing something while pointing at me, then skipped my house. FML
Today, I drove 45 min from my college to surprise my girlfriend with roses after she got off work. She responded by taking the roses, dumping them in her back seat, and speeding off because she couldn't miss Survivor. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Why would someone take them? You were handing out roses to strangers in the freezing cold. People probably thought you were ****** in the head. Wouldn't want to get some sort of anthrax laced rose or something.

Blargh, maybe they didn't know they were free. Or they were just being assholes. I would have taken one, OP!

What are you in the family like the mother or firstborn if you are a perent two syllables for ya: "prevent-able"

It's not a bad idea, it's just the execution that was wrong. Do the same thing, but with some food instead. People will be very grateful and happy for that.

Wow...FYL because you were actually born into a family that gives a shit about the world...I feel so bad for you that your family doesn't want you lying on a couch like a lazy-ass, and instead actually wants you to better yourself and those around you...what a terrible, terrible family you have...

How is giving a flower to random strangers "giving a shit about the world"??? It's just stupid, I mean it's a lot of effort to achieve ****-all, even if a few people HAD taken the flowers. And there's nothing wrong with occasionally sitting at home watching a film. It probably does just as much to improve the world as handing out roses as a family in the freezing cold to passing strangers. Working for a charity together, or doing a charity run together would be doing something for the world as a family, accosting strangers with roses is just odd.

do not mistake random acts of kindness with mindless acts of stupidity

That was pretty cool of your family, but I can see why no one would take them that would be really creepy.

In the freezing cold? To strangers? People probably didn't take them because they probably thought you were crazy. Nice of you, though.
