Today, it was beautiful out. I decided to play guitar at the park near my house. I left my guitar case open, asking not for money but for feedback. I got two pieces of paper with feedback: 1) You're fat. 2) Get a life. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was playing guitar on the sidewalk and had my guitar case open for tips. A man came up with a folded piece of green paper, smiled and walked away. After I was finished, I looked at my tips. I unfolded the paper, it was a note that said "You suck!" FML
Today, I spent hours playing my guitar and singing in the street, hoping to make some extra cash. About 3 hours in, I realized some punk had been walking around with a hat taking money as if he was with me. FML
Today, I came across a street musician. He looked extremely well-fed already, but his music was pretty good, so I gave him some spare change. As soon as I turned away, he started screaming at me for being "cheap", and chased me half a block before running out of breath. FML
Today, I learned how to play "Happy Birthday" on the guitar, just to have my friend tell me that my voice sucks, and that I needed to stop immediately. FML
Today, I was told by my neighbors that my guitar playing sounded a dying cat. FML
Today, I was playing my guitar and singing on the street corner. I did earn money, when some guy threw a quarter out of his car window for me. It hit me in the face. I now have a circle shaped bruise under my eye. FML
Today, I was walking down the street with my acoustic guitar on my back. I saw a girl that I like coming down the opposite way, so I decided to play my guitar to try and impress her. I started to tune it quickly, but while I wasn't paying attention, I ran into a pole. Now my guitar is cracked. FML
Today, after practicing a song for my girlfriend on guitar all day, I called her over to my house to show it to her. After a long speech about how "this is for you," I played for about 3 seconds before I broke a string, which slapped her in her face. FML
Today, I was playing guitar at a party, and girls were into me. I'm alright at guitar but by no means an expert. Some kid who was practically a wizard took a turn playing. He could play almost any song on the fly. He made me look so bad that I've never had so many girls in one room be embarrassed to have talked to me. FML
Today, I went into a music store to look into getting a new guitar. I picked up one that I was interested in and tried it out quietly. A sales representative approached me and asked me to "stop the noise and leave the guitars for serious customers." I've been playing for almost ten years. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

well, if you are fat and you don't have a life, you shouldn't fish for compliments. and you shouldn't play guitar in public if you don't just want people to throw a few bucks at you. that whole setup is odd. it's a hell of a lot easier for me to get a quarter out of my purse than it is for me to fill out a feedback slip. f you for suggesting that i have to evaluate your shit. get over yourself, man. i'm not trying to be overly harsh. i honestly think that this is good, critical feedback for you once and for all.

Dude, I can't fathom what kind of ground you think you stand on when you say "it's a hell of a lot easier for me to get a quarter out of my purse than it is for me to fill out a feedback slip. f you for suggesting that i have to evaluate your shit." and still tell them they're fat and should get over themselves when you find it too difficult and are to lazy to give an evaluation instead of a quarter. Nobody even forced you to do anything, so if you're really that lazy all you need to do is ignore, so what the hell are you bitching about? Get over YOURSELF. I hope karma rips your face off.

I had a boyfriend who would ask for money while he played guitar at mcdonalds. I often got so embarrassed, I'd walk away and pretend I didn't know him. Later he'd come up to me and tell me how mad he is that he only got a dollar fifty from playing three hours. Anyways, Its stupid to try and get a few bucks from playing guitar in public. Feed back, yes, but only if you're playing stuff you made up. If you're playing a song they've heard a thousand times, no one is going to listen. And- wow, the guitar. Do you know how many people can play guitar in one city? A lot. Try something more exotic, Like the drums violin or some kind of wind instrument. And maybe you should lose some weight. Just because.

Yeah. EVERYONE should loose weight just because. 6 foot 4 inches and 90 pounds? Lose a bit of weight! Your input was really good and interesting until that point, OhDamn. Why should she have to loose weight? Why can't she just be appreciated for who she is? Don't take them to heart, PeopleInThePark. It takes talent to even learn to play an instrument. And you're beautiful the way you are and shouldn't have to change yourself for anyone. Be you because you're perfect and keep playing your guitar because that's what YOU like to do.

I agree with the bosslady wholeheartedly, but to sum it up for you, ohdamn, you're a #@(!#% asshole. No wonder you have a dumbass boyfriend. God there are some knobs around, how can anyone deserve this kind of treatment? it's sick. If you don't like the music that's played there's a better approach then "you're fat" or "you suck". If you went to the extra effort of actually getting the pen and paper out, you could at least make it constructive, so people can learn, instead of just doubting themselves in general. I want to gather all these assholes up and put them on some seperate part of the earth and see how long they last before they all commit suicide. Keep playing man, you can only improve. Shit on the people who put you down when you become a rock star :) or something of that calibre.
