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.

Did you go downstairs on your son when you found him upstairs?
ebonyirony 29
that's just wrong.

Did you get enough sleep? You could've just looked really tired.

You probably have the look of a chain-smoking alcoholic. Wearing that Ozzie Nelson cardigan with plain pants and white shoes sure doesn't help. Just be grateful a youthful-looking man tolerates your saggy, haggard ass.

what's my age again?
perdix 31
23 Of course, that song came out in 1999, so the guy's current age is 35-36.

Trying not to start an argument, but I've always loved Tom's lyric writing much better. I just like what Tom is all about with AVA. I am one of the few fans of his voice. But Mark is the man too. Just my personal opinion.

It's a love hate thing with Tom. I love them all whole.. Blink 182 wouldn't be amazing if it wasn't for them all.

No more monkeys jumping on the bed!

The op is a guy. I don't think the salesman thought that they were a thing. So he assumed he's op's son.

I was scared for a second that I was the only one who saw this

It's not just that, though. It makes sense that the salesman mistook them for family since they're shopping for furniture, but he didn't even assume they were a similar age, like brothers; instead, he thought they were father and son. It must have looked like a sizable age gap between them, unless the salesman just wasn't paying much attention to begin with. Don't feel bad OP! I look perpetually 14. Everyone thinks my sister is my mom, and my mom is my grandma. It's just one of those things...

#22, read this story carefully, noting the OP's gender. This couple will not be producing babies. If they adopt, I'd hope they'd be responsible enough to forbid jumping on the beds.

That happens to my husband and I all the time. He's actually older than me but he does some bizarre things in the stores so... Anyway, don't worry about it.

Some people just age better than others. Ex: Everyone thinks my sister, who is only 3 years older than me, is my mom. I'm grateful I look as young as I do. Secret?. . . Lots and lots naps! (:

yeah, that's awkward. today I saw an old friend sitting with two other girls, then I pointed one out and said "is that your mum?" turns out it was her older sister. she didn't look too happy to say the least.. lol. >.
