Today, on the bus, when I was asking my 6-year-old son what he wanted for Christmas, a stranger came up to us and yelled at him about how Santa Claus is not real, that his "parents are fucking liars" and that he should "never listen to anything one of those fuckers says." FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I took my 5-year old daughter to get a photo taken with Santa, when she asked the dreaded question of why this Santa looked different from one at the other store. Before I could placate her, some cunt of a kid yelled, "Because he's not real, dumbass!" FML
Today, I took my kids to the mall to see Santa. While waiting in line, my eldest got bored and loudly complained, "I don't know why we're here. Santa's not even real." I don't think any of the kids within a hundred feet took the news very well. FML
Today, my 16 year-old son had a tantrum over me asking him to clean up his room, and decided to tell my 6 year-old daughter that Santa isn't real, and that it was me who bought her presents. My daughter is inconsolable. FML
Today, I was on the phone with my friend, when my four year old nephew came in, asking who I was talking to. I told him it was Santa Claus, so he insisted on talking to him. I handed over the phone and I hear, "Santa is fake. Grow up." I spent the next two hours with a screaming child proving Santa exists. FML
Today, at work, as a camp counselor, I was discussing how stupid the idea of Santa is to a coworker, and how every parent should tell their kids the truthLies. The intercom microphone was on. I single-handedly told a group of 100 six year-olds that Santa isn't real. FML
Today, my daughter ran up to an old man with a white beard and a red sweater because she thought he might be Santa. He was a homeless dude, drunk at 9 in the morning. He told her to either give him money or f**k off, then screamed at her that "Santa’s not real, grow up r*tard." She’s still crying FML
Today, I was at lunch with my mom and we were talking about how to tell my brother that Santa Claus isn't real. After we finished our conversation, I heard someone crying. Little did I know, two little kids and their parents were sitting in the booth behind me. FML
Today, my 8-year-old daughter was throwing a tantrum, and I said "Keep this up and I'll tell Santa to take your presents back." She told me I don't even know Santa, at which point I accidentally blurted that I'm "Santa". FML
Today, my daughter told my son that Santa is not real. Of course, being a child, he started to cry. My only problem is, my son is 11 and my daughter is 6. FML
Today, I brought my 6-year-old to the mall to sit on Santa's lap. She told him what she wanted and smiled for the picture. When the lady told her that her turn was over, she began throwing a fit, pulling off Santa's beard in the process. This caused all the kids in line to begin sobbing. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I agree! This man truly sounds like a real-life grinch. I would even go as far as calling him scrooge.

I never believed in Santa. Coz no one believes in Santa here in Singapore....

I didn't believe in Santa cause I grew up in the ghetto. My parents told me when I was younger that if anyone comes in our house late at night it's cause they wanted weed. They also said, the old fat white man was probably a Jehovah's Witness.

Jews don't believe in Santa? :S

Umm.. Hi?? Don'tcha know? That's not how you start a conversation here on FML! It requires something witty to be said, in hopes someone equally as witty will come along, or some stupid person to come tell you off. Yep.

Well all you did was ask what he wanted. Didn't say anything about Santa Claus.

It's also annoying when people think you want to hear their opinion. :/ The guy could have just sat there and went, "Stupid santa bull..." under his breath. But no. Some people think they need to share their every waking thought with everyone.

This is what happens when you take the bus. Crazy people shout and ruin kids beliefs.
Corrupt_waffles 13
The bus breaks my spirit every time I get on it. I have to take it to college every day and it turns a normally 30 minute drive into an excruciatingly painful 2 and a half hours of torture.
onlychildFTW 34
2.5 hours? Why not just drive the 30 mins??? I wouldn't waste 2.5 hours of my time on a bus.
Corrupt_waffles 13
I don't have a car. ;_; or a license. I have a permit but I can never get anyone to teach me. It sucks really bad. Trust me if there was an alternative I would take it. But there isn't.
onlychildFTW 34
Ahh that sucks then. That's too bad. So you must have gotten your permit late then, being in college. But 2.5 hours. Maybe live on campus? I couldn't do that personally. My time is too valuable and I like sleeping in.
Corrupt_waffles 13
I'm going to community college cause I'm too broke to go to university for the full 4 years. So I'm getting general Ed done first. It sucks cause my class is early so I have to get up at 5 just so I can barley make it on time. I hate the bus. I despise it with every fiber in my being.
MrsAlexander83 10
That would make me tie someone up and force them to willingly teach me how to drive. Based on your use of "university"--I'm assuming you are in Europe somewhere. They must have different rules. I applaud you though for continuing on with your studies even though you are facing adversity!
RedPillSucks 33
@onlychildFTW, you do realize that not everyone is privileged enough to own a car, even a beater.

60- We say university in the US, too. A university is just a larger and more extensive college, with more detailed and specific classes than those offered by the community colleges. It's usually a good idea to take the first two years at community for the general education requirements and then transfer over. Also, it's a lot harder to make someone teach you how to drive than it sounds. My fiancé was kicked out by his parents at the age of sixteen and became homeless for a year after high school graduation. He had no friends or family to teach him, so we're working on it now, but until I turn twenty-one here in a little while there's really no one available to teach him. There's a learner's permit, but no way to practice for a license.

Just tell your bf to play some grand theft auto. It's totally realistic. And he might even pick up other life skills like beating up hookers for their cash. :)

A university offers graduate degrees along with undergraduate degrees. A college is just for undergrad.

#60 Forcing someone to do something willingly? Do explain how that being forced to do something is doing it willingly?

Noooo why did I read this post. I believed sant up til now. Oh wait I'm the joker so I wouldn't have gotten anything anyways. xD

He's probably miserable and just wants to take it out on a poor kid who can't fight back.

This is why you shouldn't ride the bus.
ksks1234 33
81 is right. Go buy a car, but not a crappy car (like a Honda), it might break down and you will be back on the bus. Buy a brand new Rolls or Maybach. *sarcasm*

If we were on a bus and you said Honda's were crap I'd yell at you too.

I just bought a Honda, and I'm little offended.

I don't blame him. A month of Christmas music on every radio station and in every public place is enough to drive anyone insane.
emilyjgraham 34
insane or not why ruin a kids Christmas spirit? also, as someone mentioned above, Santa wasn't mentioned.

Christmas songs are nice!! but not the techno remixes though..
