Today, my boyfriend and I went to a furniture store. We split up for a bit, and after a while I went to find him. A salesman noticed I seemed to be looking around for him and said, "Oh, your son is upstairs." We're the same age. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I went into the store where my boyfriend works. I saw him talking to a customer, his back was facing me, so I went up and smacked his butt. Turns out it wasn't him. FML
Today, a woman came up to me and sheepishly asked if my son is single. He's not my son, he's my boyfriend. FML
Today, I was in IKEA, furniture shopping with my dad. He was looking at one couch that was particularly small. I said "dad that couch is for like a midget." I look over to see a midget looking at me, sitting on the same couch in a different color. He definitely heard me. FML
Today, I went shopping with my two sons and my wife. We got separated after a while, and I spotted my son in the video game section of the store. I snuck up behind him and playfully slapped him on the back of the head. The kid turned around and it wasn't my son. His mom was none to happy. FML
Today, I told my boyfriend about something that had happened “after you came to our school." He told me he'd gone to our school for every grade. I'd just never noticed him. FML
Today, I went to the store to get Valentine's Day gifts to decorate my boyfriend's and my new apartment. He was there shopping with his wife. FML
Today, my mum and I were walking down a road where we met an old neighbour who recently got divorced. Her son who we hadn't seen for about 10 years was with her and he looked very handsome. I said, "oh wow ! your son has grown up so much !" The woman replied, "this is my boyfriend." FML
Today, I ran into my boyfriend at the mall, the same boyfriend who'd told me he was going on a family vacation to Mexico. FML
Today, I took my boyfriend to meet my parents over dinner. During the meal, he excused himself to the bathroom, and when he didn't come back after a few minutes, I went to check up on him. I ended up finding him in the living room, pocketing a pack of ambien from my mom's bag. FML
Today, I went to surprise my boyfriend at his job. When I saw he wasn't there, I asked a co-worker, who told me his "sister" came by earlier. He's an only child. FML

Or maybe he was bouncing on the couches like Tom Cruise and that made him seem like a kid.

Time for someone a bit older looking?
MisterMichael 9
Or maybe she looks really old..

#3 Or maybe someone assumed two guys hanging out would be related to each other rather then be a couple.

14- Your grammar is worse than his.
theten_fml 9
The man is just lying to himself. He can't accept the fact that you're unavailable for a relationship. Yeah... That's it.

Why would you dump someone just because they look younger than you? As long as they aren't actually younger than you(Or, atleast, not too much), there isn't anything wrong with it.

Or a child did head upstairs, the salesman saw that op appeared to be searching for someone and assumed she was looking for her 'kid'.

14, I'm not sure if you were talking to 1 or 3, but in any case, what was the grammatical mistake? Either you misread, or I'm just blind. I don't see a problem with the grammar contained in either of their comments. .-.
Dairyking 8
Or, if you were referring to 3 saying "she," this is not a grammatical error; it is merely a lack of attention to detail. I, myself, hadn't realized that OP was a guy until I saw other comments.

Nope, that phrase is used pretty much every day. "looks older", sure, but "older looking" is used all the time as well.

60- OP is male

Whoops

That mustve been a fun conversation in the future..

Yeah well, my mom looks so much younger than her age that a cashier thought my 40 year old mom and my 14 year old brother were a couple. Like what the heck is up with that? I should write an FML about this and see if it gets accepted...

I'm with 4. I was asked the same damn thing when my now ex-fiance and I went to open a joint bank account. The funny part is, now he looks 10 years older than me. But back then, in '07, he had a baby face. I felt like a cougar at age 23 and he was only 22.

You used past tense talking about the future... I don't understand life.

Tom Cruise.

^Yes, very good. Now, can you say "Matt Damon?"
xSonic 9
Matt Damon. Can I get a cookie? XD ..wait, you weren't talking to me? Okay... :(
Danieljta 3
Ouch..
FirstTigerHobbes 13
Maybe he's just got a baby face?
xXxIracebethxXx 14
"He's just got..." = "He is just got..." Also, how did he just acquire a baby face? Did he go to, like, Babies R Us and buy a reusable baby face?
jackien1 6
That just means he appears young, his face does not reflect his age. And seriously? That = thing? Don't you speak English where you're from?
FirstTigerHobbes 13
75- 1. "He's" has two contraction forms: • He's already been to school today; He has already been to school today. • He's at school; He is at school. Thus making my comment grammatically correct. 2. A "baby face" is a term to describe someone who is not an actual infant but has a younger look to them. Now please, just royally **** off.
fml121785 14
75- It's "He has got" which could also be written as "he's got". I hate when people are being grammar nazis and try to make someone look wrong when they are actually using correct grammar! lol No, actually I love it because it makes them sound so dumb! Haha **** your life 75!
Mister_Triangle 21
Maybe he's Andy Milonakis

I don't think he said that because the way he looked, probably because he was acting childish.
amandajlucas2015 2
Y is she getting thumbed down for this.. This is probably really Wut the salesman meant
missalkali 8
I don't know, but you're getting thumbed down because the grammar and spelling in that comment are atrocious. how hard is it to write words out fully? I understand using "u" instead of you now and again, but that ^ is overdoing it

I expected him to be caught having sex in public, somewhere where beds are available with some random chick. It turned out to be better than what I had imagined.
asiau 4
Me too!!! LOL
ALlamaOnFire 20
He wouldn't 'have sex with a random chick' seeing as he is gay.
kirbeaar 19
He could be bisexual.

Are people that trashy?
NagainaFier 16
Considering you can get a hooker in damn near any back ally in any city, yes, people can be that trashy.
Bakarra 22
maybe there's a height difference or something, but who cares as long as they enjoy each others company?
AussieChild 22
Maybe the salesperson is just a moron?? People always think that there's 8 or 9 years difference between my fiancé and I- they think it's disgusting that a 25 year old would date a 16 year old... Even though we are both 21 and I'm only 2 months younger.
