Today, while I was doing my job as a groundskeeper, a couple of kids wearing MAGA hats threw garbage and rocks at me, then told me to "go back where you came from". I'm American, but I guess my beard makes me look like an immigrant or something, as this isn't the first time this has happened. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, a man I don't know came up to me and started screaming about how "all you damn Mexicans were stealing American's jobs" and he stormed off. I'm Native American, and I'm pretty sure we've been here longer. FML
Today, two American guys attacked me for not speaking their language. I'm from England, and they said I'm speaking my own language wrong. FML
Today, I was cleaning up litter from the street, when a guy asked who I work for. I said nobody and that I was just doing some community service. Before I could clarify that it was voluntary community service, he called me a "piece of shit delinquent", spat on me, and walked off. FML
Today, I'm a gay, black man who moved to a racist, mainly white, homophobic town for work. I've already had the cops called on me twice, and a group of teens yelled the f-slur at me unprompted. When I asked my boss if I could swap, he threatened to fire me. This is gonna be a long 6 months. FML
Today, I was refused service at a bakery, got yelled and cussed at to the point of tears, and told to go back to my home country, Ukraine. According to the guy, my people are Nazis who spent the past year draining Americans of their tax dollars to fund their war. I couldn’t report him, he was the owner. FML
Today, an Asian man approached me and called me pretty. I thanked him and he asked if I'm Chinese. When I said, "No, I'm Taiwanese" he promptly spat in my face and called me a "traitor to the motherland." FML
Today, on my first day at my new job delivering mail, I was yelled at by a guy, who threatened to shoot me if I "trespassed" on his property. He made me toss his mail toward his porch from the street, before telling me to get lost. FML
Today, while volunteering at a local museum, I politely told an elderly gentleman to have a nice day. He responded by yelling "NO" and storming off. Everyone looked at me like I was some sort of monster. FML
Today, I, a retired U.S. Army soldier, was shouted down and called a liberal snowflake and even accused of stolen valor. Why? I admitted that I absolutely hate Trump. FML
Today, some obnoxious guys started calling me ugly. I tried to ignore them and be the bigger person. That's pretty hard to do when they start throwing rocks at you. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

The USA is founded on immigration. The only Americans moaning about immigration should be the Indians.

Too bad we can't round up all the racist ***** in the world and drop them into Mt. St. Helens.

I'll be honest. Not thrilled with the hipsters with the Iranian looking beards. You live in Southern California, GTFO with your stupid beards.

Well, they wore MAGA hats, having grown up in the south I can say I'm not surprised. Most of them don't know that Obamacare and the ACA is the same thing because they believe what they're red elders preach, not ever researching and learning things for themselves because it's rude to question their elders "wisdom". Much like a cult.

Okay I'm sorry this happened to you and those actions are inexcusable. As someone who voted for trump I'm tired of seeing dickheads act like this. That's not to say I like him. I'm just tired of seeing this evil behavior from his voter base.

As someone who didn't vote for Trump and knows not all Trump supporters are jerks... could y'all please be a little louder about being upset about this stuff? There were lots of valid reasons to not like Hillary (her emails were one I agreed with but not enough to change my vote) but there is plenty of bad and chaos going on in republican politics right now and not enough of those voting republican seem bothered. It is upsetting. Especially after hearing about Pence using and AOL account for his political emails. Like.. what?! How are people not just as upset about that?

In a country of more than 320 million people, everything must happen once. So it's somewhat surprising that not one of the alleged post-election hate crimes committed by Trump supporters to date has turned out to be true. Could you post a copy of your police report?

A police report against Trump supporters? What a laugh.

Shall OP also post a pic of his passport to prove his citizenship?

This is actually true and good news. So the three people who gave my comment a thumbs down without a reply, are saying very bad things about themselves. They'd rather that there be real acts of violence and hatred to support their political desires. Shame on them. To support my claim: 1) The hijab hoaxer at the University of Michigan (After a police investigation, she admitted she made it up.) 2) The alleged hijab victim at University of New Mexico, Leena Aggad, never reported her claim to campus security, much less the police. 3) Kara Stevens, claimed three Trump-supporting men in their 30s approached her in a Safeway parking lot in Hillsboro, Oregon, mentioned Donald Trump -- then threatened to turn her into their "sex slave"! (Investigation suspended with no video, no witnesses and no evidence.) 4) Eleesha Long's 'assault' which she posted on facebook brought about police investigation, followed by her admission she made it up. Her cell phone proved she was nowhere near where she claimed. So come on, if you're telling the truth, prove it.

Please stop saying this is all Trump's fault. I know no one's saying it in the comments, but I know you're all thinking it. If you see an immigrant hard at work, making an honest living, Trump's probably not going to deport them.

You could always shave your beard if it's happened more than once, but you shouldn't have to. People are sick.
